Come and stay at Gwen’s Cozy Cabin. Our cabin is situated just outside of Rosman, NC nestled on Line Runner Ridge Lake in the mountains.
Great romantic setting for couples!
Our adorable log cabin is a 1 bedroom loft with a queen size bed and a full bath. It is 930 square feet of coziness, constructed of large logs which makes it very unique. Wake up and gaze out at the lake without getting out of bed or better yet, have breakfast in bed, it has a great view from the loft. Enjoy spending days around the cabin, we have fishing (catch and release only), two kayaks and one canoe for lazy trips around the lake. Go swimming right outside your front door to cool down. Bring your dog, there is a large fenced in back yard for hours of play time. Cook on our charcoal grill (charcoal included) and enjoy a great meal at the picnic table or on our large front porch. If you enjoy walking, walk on the many miles of roads on Line Runner Ridge, take a hike in the woods or around the lake. After a long day at the cabin, enjoy the fire pit in the back yard fixing smore's or grab a drink and take a relaxing bath in our old fashion claw foot bath tub with tee light candles. Play some good old fashion board games or just kick back and watch TV. The living room has an electric “old fashion stove” to set the mood. Our unique kitchen is filled with everything you need, from cooking a gourmet meal or just hot dogs, it comes complete with a gas stove and oven, microwave convection oven, coffee maker, coffee, tea pot with soothing tea, toaster oven and a dishwasher.

Relaxing peaceful stay

This is a top notch place to stay!! The host Gwen should get 10 stars out of 10. Make sure you check out Brevard for window shopping. Many waterfalls in the area. Our furbabies acted like they were right at home. Thanks so much Gwen!!

Christmas in the Mountains

The cabin was just as pictured and described. Gwen is a wonderful hostess, and she has equipped the cabin with all of the items needed from kitchen appliances, spices, and utensils. Gwen is a great communicator and checked in with us to make sure we arrived safely.The lake is picturesque and she has a canoe and kayaks. The waterfalls in the area are phenomenal. We couldn’t have picked a better place to relax. Definitely worth a second stay.

Words cannot describe the peace and tranquillity of this property, the property pictures don’t disappoint. The yard and lake are simply perfect! Gwen is very kind and if you forgot it, she has it. Stocked kitchen, bathroom and extra blankets. The radiant flooring is irresistible for warm cozy feet and feel! The porch is perfect for a hot cup of coffee and quite/book while the dog can play around safely in the yard. We loved it !

Sweet and cozy cabin on the lake

Our stay at Gwen‘s cozy cabin was delightful in every way. Gwen was attentive to our every need and went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was both comfortable and enjoyable. Our car battery died in the cold weather and Gwen‘s husband Dan came immediately to our rescue so we were able to get on the road home as scheduled. Five star hospitality in all regards! Thanks, Gwen!!

Anniversary getaway

From the moment we walked into the cabin, we felt so welcome. The attention to detail (personal and to quests) is impeccable. From music playing and candlelight to the personalized gift table, shows how much she cares. The cabin was spotless, both inside and out. Pictures do not due this place justice. It is so cozy and is decorated so well. I absolutely loved the decor, especially her hand made metal art, which she sells. (of course we bought one). Such a nice souvenir. And best of all, we were able to take our dogs. The yard is huge and right at the lake, so they could swim. Tired dogs are happy dogs. The view, spectacular. Qwen thought of everything. You never have to leave-but if you do, she has a quest book that has a list of things to do around the area. This place set the bar pretty high. Will definitely go back.

Little slice of mountain heaven!

From the minute we walked into the cabin, we felt welcomed and at home. The lamps and battery candles were on, and the TV was on a music channel. We booked it for me birthday and Gwen had a birthday banner hanging from the bedroom loft. She also had treats for us and our dogs. Her attention to detail was evident throughout the charming cabin. Even had art hanging under the bathroom sink that you can see when soaking in the tub. We will definitely be back!!!

PERFECT!

Gwen’s cabin is perfect, and exactly as described in the listing. It’s like walking out of our house and into someone else’s, with a well equipped kitchen, has everything you could possibly need aside from your own food and drink. This has been THE BEST VRBO we have ever had the pleasure of staying at. The special welcoming with a basket of goodies specifically dedicated to my husband and I, as well as special goodies and welcome message for our two pups. 🐶 Gwen’s cabin is spacious, comfortable, ( slept so sell ) VERY clean, beautifully decorated, and on the lake. Such a serene setting. The large furnished deck overlooks a gorgeous lawn and lake. Was such fun being able to take our pups and having them safe inside the large fenced lawn. So much to do! Fishing, swimming, canoeing, grilling, and relaxing on the deck. Gwen provides all the gear for these activities! 😎 If you go into the quaint downtown of Brevard, that’s @15 min drive. Loads of shops and restaurants. For outdoor adventures, many places for hiking, fishing, tubing, and photography of gorgeous views @30 min drive. Gwen was great at checking in, and readily available. We are looking forward to returning in the not too distant future 😊

Relaxing and Cozy

From the minute you pull up to the cabin it gives you a sense of comfort. When we walked in the overall welcoming charm made you feel like you would not want to leave. The welcome basket and goodies for our dogs speak volumes of Gwen and her desire to make you feel welcome. The cabin is so passionately decorated with love and all the comforts one needs. Clean, and stocked with all the essentials. The view of the lake from the porch is a spot that will be difficult to move from and not want to sit all day and evening. It's so relaxing—a well-stocked lake for catch-and-release fishing. Gwens' metal artwork around the cabin is something everyone should take a look at. We purchased 2 of her metal flag pieces, reminding us of our wonder time. This cabin warrants a return visit which we will do. Gwen thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin and being an outstanding host. We will be planning a return visit!

Perfection Plus

While approaching the entryway to the cabin, my husband and I were welcomed with the breathtaking view of the lake. Our experience was further enhanced as soon as we opened the door. The beauty and charm was beyond any other vacation homes we had experienced. Gwen’s fine taste in decor and charm was certainly a reflection of herself. The pictures presented online definitely did not do the cabin justice. In addition, the comfort and peaceful setting were beyond our expectations. We definitely can not wait to plan our return visit to Gwen’s Cozy Cabin.

30th birthday weekend

We had an amazing stay, we have never been able to bring our pup with us when we travel so being able bring her was a huge bonus. As soon as we got in about 10pm we were just starting to get settled and the power went out… have no fear a generator kicked on 30 seconds later. (Power came on 30 mins later no big deal) the next day we were inside cause it was cold and rainy Gwen was very prompt to answer questions we had. Gwen goes above and beyond to make you feel welcomed from her little snack baskets to the kisses on the bedsheets. Downtown Brevard is somewhere I’ve never heard of but will definitely be going back such a cute small town with very friendly welcoming people. 100/10 would recommend renting this cabin from Gwen! Ps the basement sale is so unique and the handmade crafts Gwen makes are absolutely beautiful! Just another bonus you get with this amazing cabin.

This cabin was exactly what we were looking for! Our goal was to travel more with our two dogs this year and this was a great place to start! The owner was very friendly and answered all my questions in a timely manner. It's also decorated with a lot of different metal art, which you can buy as well, very talented!

Clean and well stocked

This cabin was beautiful, clean and had everything that we needed. Fishing was great (would have loved to have had a dock like the neighbors). Having a dock to get a little closer to the deeper water, somewhere to sit etc. Would have made it absolutely perfect. Otherwise, everything was great!

Perfect couples cabin

Our stay was amazing. Gwen goes above and beyond,. During the process of renting the cabin I had mention it was our anniversary , her birthday and our Christmas to each other. We also had pets. Gwen the cabin owner asked for a picture of us. I thought to verify who we were when we arrived. So I sent a picture of us and one of our pets. When we arrived we were speechless. Gwen had the picture of us framed in a nice frame and the picture of our pets with a treat basket for them. The next evening we noticed she had a hand made Happy Anniversary banner with our names hanging from the upper loft. The cabin is absolutely perfect. Loved the floor heat it keep the whole cabin heated. We will definitely be staying again.

4th Time Guest and Terrific as Always :)

Our 4th time staying at Gwen's lovely cabin. We always come back because our furkids are so important to us and we have never stayed anywhere where the backyard was as secure and worry free for us. We can truly relax and they can have fun. The cabin was as immaculate, perfect, and decorated as always. The only problem is that it always ends too soon :) Thanks again, Gwen!

Beautiful location.

The cabin is clean and cozy. The location is remote enough that you should plan on having some of your meals there; the kitchen is well equipped so that shouldn't be a problem. Everything has been thought of, leading to a very comfortable guest experience. The lake is small and it's a tranquil setting. We'd love to return someday.
