This house is amazing! It is the nicest log cabin I’ve ever stayed in. My family had a wonderful time here and hopes to return soon. The deck had an amazing view and was a great place to start the day with coffee before our toddler got up and things got hectic. We really appreciated the fence along the edge of the yard so we had a place to play with a back stop. Some wild turkeys came up to the yard and my daughter got to see them and got very excited. There is a little hike in the neighborhood that was nice and easy to get to. We also hiked Catawba falls but that was a little long for us. Black mountain had a great restaurant and my wife liked shopping there, and I liked the brewery in old fort. Planning our next trip already!
