★ OTHER THINGS TO NOTE ★

Please note that this log cabin is 170-years-old. It's been well-cared for and offers plenty of cozy charm but does have characteristics of a historic home such as bumpy flooring, uneven stairs, and the occasional draft if it's cold and windy outside. In the winter the house is heated by the gas fireplace and electric space heaters so this may not be the best fit for guests who have balance issues or unsupervised children. In addition, we are located in the woods, the property is treated but there is a good chance you might see a bug or two in the warmer seasons!

Very nice experience!

Cozy cabin with a touch of rustic and vintage atmosphere. We loved stay here and enjoyed the comfort the house was offering to our family of 5 with our small dog. Good position to visit the area around. Shelley was always available and very responsive to ours needs.Recommend.

Charming Cabin

This cabin is so unique and charming! We enjoyed listening to the rain on the tin roof swaying on the screened in porch swing. The fire from the gas logs and the comfortable couches provided a perfect place to relax and unwind at the end of the day. The location to hiking trails, good restaurants and snow tubing couldn’t be beat. We thoroughly enjoyed our mountain getaway!

Cozy cabin

Rustic and comfortable. Had everything we needed including the lob cabin charm. Closer to everything than we thought it would be. Only issue was the drive way was a rutted, but we had a truck so we didn’t have any trouble.

Cozy cabin!

My husband and I so enjoyed our stay in this cozy cabin, and the rich history of it was not lost on us! This is truly a one of a kind stay! I do think that solid curtains in the bedrooms would do better to block out the yard/street light and make for better rest. Overall, it was a wonderful stay!

Winter Weekend Get-a-way

My husband, my two old labs, and I stayed here for a weekend getaway! It was perfect!! We were close to all the ski hills. The house was so cozy and clean and came with updated amenities. The house's location is wonderful for convenience and inclement weather; snow hit fast Sunday night and with the house not being on a steep incline, etc. like most rentals in the mountains it was very easy to enter and leave!! Shelley was a wonderful host and so fast to respond!

Enjoyed our visit

Nice cabin but located behind a rental storage facility right off a main road. From the pictures and land description, you get the impression it is located in a more remote setting. Host accurately referenced this is an old cabin and if there was cold weather it could get a little chilly inside. That’s exactly what we experienced but it was much colder downstairs than what we would consider chilly. We enjoyed our visit.

A unique getaway

We enjoyed our time at the 1848 cabin. It was an experience in a primitive sort of way. There were enough modern additions to keep things simple. Great for a few days, but I wouldn’t want tylive there!

First overnight family vacation

We visited this cabin for our youngest’s 2nd birthday, and our first overnight trip as a family of four. It couldn’t have been more perfect for us. Our toddlers love watching Little House on the Prairie, and they really thought we were staying at “Laura and Mary’s” cabin. We were only about a 20 minute drive to the sledding hill at Beech mountain, and close to lots of dining options. We lived in a historic home, so the “character” in this cabin didn’t bother us at all. If you’re averse to uneven floors and drafty windows, this isn’t the place for you. We all loved it, and the baseboard heating and fireplace kept us warm. My oldest wants to come back for her birthday!

Decent Get-A-Way

Overall decent little cabin location mared by storage units in front of the property, never mentioned in the ad. Was a little bit noiseyfrom the business. Overall cleanliness was good, check in and out was quick and easy. A leaf blower would have made his a literal home run but wasn’t horrible. The floors are part of the charm of an old cabin. These are CHARMing no doubt lol.
