Cute cabin near lots of great hikes!

Stayed here with three friends to explore Grandfather Mountain and the Linville Gorge area. This cabin proved to be in a great spot for our purposes and was comfortable, spacious, and reasonably priced. Would do it again in a heartbeat!

Perfect long weekend in the mountains

My husband, two daughters, and dog stayed here for three nights. It was a rainy weekend, but that gave us the excuse to enjoy the house more. We played games, watched movies, read books, and slept and ate well. The house is very comfortable, with lots of room to spread out, and very quiet. Highly recommend for anyone looking for some R & R!

Family vacation

The cabin is very spacious and clean. It has everything you need including kitchen supplies, entertainment ( movies and games), bedding, and a wonderful porch. It is located in a very secure area close to Linville Falls and Caverns. Our host Greg responded very quickly to all of our questions. I would highly recommend for any family event or retreat.

Peaceful mountain cabin

We enjoyed making family memories in this cabin. It was very peaceful and clean. The online description is on point and Mr. Francis was very easy to communicate with. It is located close enough to caverns, hiking trails, and cute towns, yet nestled away in the privacy of the mountains. Bonus, we are able to bring our four legged family member along!

Birthday Celebration

We came in to town to celebrate with our family who live locally. It was the perfect space for us to stay. Feels very welcoming as soon as you enter. Property was clean check in and out were easy. The host was so wonderful with our reservation and communication was a breeze. VRBO had the sleeping space listed as 8 but this property sleeps easily 10-12. We don’t need the additional space just info for those that are reading reviews. Lovely place will definitely stay again.

The cabin is very nice, clean, comfortable and spacious. It is in the middle of the mountains surrounded by nature. Before you arrive make sure to print out all the information that the owner sends you. There is no cell phone or internet reception in the area. If you arrive at night it can be very difficult to find the cabin. It is on the left and the entrance is a little difficult to see. You will see 839 Francis carved into a wooden sign, but in the dark it is almost invisible. Also keep in mind that due to the destruction caused by Hurricane Helen, there are several roads closed and you will have to use detours that will delay your route to the cabin. The cabin has everything you might need. Just bring your personal belongings, toiletries and food. Also laundry detergent if you want to wash clothes. We were very happy and pleased with our stay. They have movies for the kids, books, games. And the fireplace warms up the living room nicely. We had a very nice and pleasant time with our family. We will definitely return at some point in the future.

Cabin is nice, hard to get to

The cabin is nice as pictured. Centrally located to what we wanted. Extremely steep drive way, sharp turn in, branches starting to encroach, scratched car. Limited parking hard to maneuver more than 2 cars to park. View has been over grown. Nice slippery deck, No outdoor fire pit. Not much for younger kids to do outside or inside cabin. No shade from the sun in the loft, rise and shine with the sun. NOT CHILD KID FRIENDLY, bought a gate to block stairs from toddler. Storms affected our trip, no streaming, wifi password was not accepted after day 3 of 7, cable went out, all remotes had dead batteries. Refrigerator does not close easily, opens freezer when you push the door close. Drawer under oven gets EXTREMELY hot, very dangerous to kids. Water in shower and sink was either cold or scalding hot. Gas stove fire goes out on anything less than med. Sliding door and screen hard to open

Lovely home

We had a lovely time in this timeless, very tall (3 level) log cabin! The kitchen isn't huge, so expect to bump into each other as you get your breakfast but is well-appointed. They had everything we needed and more. The two stories of windows in the great room put the trees and mountains as the centerpiece of our stay. When we arrived, the CO alarms were going off and the place wasn't cooling well, but Greg was responsive and responsible and all was well in short order. (Turns out there was no CO. It was just time to replace the sensors.

Our Final Farewell to Our Father, Doc Fair

Overall, we had a great stay, I truly wish we could have stayed around the rental longer. Basically, we stayed the night and then met with my brothers in law and their families atop Wiseman’s View Overlook!! It was a farewell send off of my father in law who passed away last August. His wish was for the families to get together one last time and in his memory remember the memories we made all over those mountains we had the privilege to cast our eyes on one more time. Doc Fair passed last August and he was a fixture in the Drexel Community! He passed at the age of 90 years while in our family’s care in Tidewater Virginia. So we spent most of Saturday on Wiseman’s View and then we had dinner as a family, making family music, as Doc called it, prior to returning to the cabin. Real quick stay but a real pleasure to interact with the Francis family, corresponding mostly with Greg, through VRBO. Greg was always prompt with the answer to all my questions and the house was magnificent as we had 10 folks and plenty of room. Great location for us because our travel was back and forth to Wiseman’s View and Newland, NC. The Francis family were most excellent and enthusiastic hosts!! I would love to come back to the cabin when I have more time to spend and run through the falls!! I am grateful for their kindness and the opportunity to stay in there wonderful cabin back in the mountains on NC where my family is from!! I recommend this cabin to anyone needing a large spacious cabin.

Old men trip

First the property was as represented -- this has not always been my experience. It is not exactly close to anything, but then not that far from lots of stuff. We fished in Tenn, one hour; Grandfather Mt, 30 min; Blowing Rock about an hours; drive on Parkway, 10 min.; Little Switzerland, 30 minutes; ate at Louise's Rockhouse, 15 minutes. With gate fell secure leaving stuff at the house when away. Definitely consider renting again.

loved it

thanks, you so much for a wonderful stay. the cabin was beautiful, clean and we loved it. the only issue I would say is trying to get out of the driveway. in a large truck, there was not a lot of room to maneuver and if we had had a second vehicle, I don't know how that would have worked due to the fact I am not use to such tight steep driveways. Overall, the cabin was amazing. thanks, you so much for a wonderful stay
