This cabin was fantastic in every way! Comfortable beds, large gathering and eating space, and everytime we needed something in the kitchen, we found it! Excellent coffee supplies, cutting knives, pots and pans and all utensils. The firepit was great, and we even listened to the owls and saw a bear (from a distance). We would come back in the future.

Walk in to beauty! This cabin has a Wow factor! Its tucked away in a little nook and is very peaceful. Its close to Boone and has beautiful scenery. We loved sitting out by the fire pit. Great amenities and the spice rack was a bonus! We had a blast using the walkie talkies...reminded us of when we were little. We will definitely be recommending this location to our friends. Returning is must.
