Quiet and secluded
Property is just as listed. Large enough for our group of 7. Check in was easy, Bill (owner) kept us up to date on everything, and his son, (lives down the road) came and checked on us after an ice and snow storm. Temp. dipped to 3 degrees, but the house was so toasty, we didn't even need the fireplace. If you want to relax and be off the beaten path, this is for you!

Secluded Hideaway
We stayed at the secluded Hideaway in Ashe County, and it was amazing. It worked wonderfully for my family. This was our Christmas get together and the property was just what we needed as far as room and amenities that were available. We had a wonderful wonderful time there.

Peaceful, relaxing
This was an awesome week! So relaxing. We look foreward to visiting again in the future. Even the young children enjoyed this place. The decor was warm and homey, which made it more inviting. The accessibility features were appreciated, even though we did not need to utilize them. Knowing it would have been available was comforting. Thank you for welcoming us to your property, we would struggle to say anything negative about the property or our stay. Even the people in the shops in town were very nice.

Sister's getaway
What a wonderful place! This home is wonderful! It is quiet and beautiful inside and out. The furniture is so comfortable. It not only looks good, it feels good as well. The owners are sweet and awesome and are very helpful and communicative. I would definitely stay here again and again. As a matter of fact, I'm planning on bringing my husband next time! (Instead of just all of my sisters! LoL)

Comfy, peaceful cabin
Beautiful Elk Shoals Beach Access is a short walk or five-minute drive away. The cabin is well-equipped, spacious and very comfortable...six televisions (if you need to watch TV)!!! Great for a family of all ages! Decor was a little claustrophobic with all the knicknacks sitting and hanging, but loved the scriptures written on some items. The short, gravel road up to the cabin is fairly steep, but in great condition (except for being wet when we were there) with a right-angle turn very near the beginning! Just be sure not to stop once you start up! Even though the weather didn't cooperate, our family had a wonderful time being together here, and would recommend this home to anyone looking for a mountain retreat!

Great trip home!
We had a great trip visiting family! The house was well kept for the most part, and so beautiful! It was everything we needed! The only real con was the driveway leading up to the house. I’d recommend 4x4 for sure. It is a little scary if you are not prepared. Otherwise everything was great! Thank you again.

Amazing!
This house is everything they list. Drive up to the house is not bad. Having the cable TV with a wide variety of channels was nice for the rainy day we had. It was so peaceful at night, hardly any traffic going by the house. Mr.Bill was amazing answering all our questions. The house is close to the Blue Ridge Parkway, ride it towards VA...... oh my the views are amazing!! Would we rent again "OH YES"
