Wedding Week!
We had the absolute pleasure of staying at Mark's cabin for 4 days and 3 nights leading up to our wedding, and it truly exceeded all our expectations! The cabin itself is beautiful, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped, providing the perfect setting for such a special occasion.
We hosted our rehearsal dinner here, and it was an unforgettable experience. Mark went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. From the very beginning, he was extremely helpful and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed. Throughout our stay, he maintained consistent contact to check in and make sure everything was going smoothly, which we greatly appreciated.
As if his kindness and hospitality weren’t enough, Mark surprised us with a complimentary bottle of wine and a thoughtful congratulatory note, which added such a personal and memorable touch to our visit.
This cabin provided the perfect backdrop for a once-in-a-lifetime celebration. We cannot recommend Mark’s place highly enough for anyone looking for a beautiful, welcoming, and well-cared-for space. Thank you, Mark, for helping make our wedding week so special!

In a nutshell
Great! There were no steep, winding gravel roads to drive on to get to the property. The cabin was clean, beautiful and quiet. It was exactly as advertised. We saw deer each morning while enjoying the cool weather and coffee. The view from the porch is exceptional . . . mountain views through the trees. The bean slingshots were a huge hit with the college kids.

Annual Family Mountain Trip
We stayed at this cabin for our annual summer family trip. The location was excellent and the cabin itself was not on top of other houses. The owner Mark stays on the property, we never saw him, but is available should the need arise. The home has a large kitchen table for family meals and sharing stories. The front porch has rocking chairs for enjoying the sounds of nature and the cool mountain evenings. The fire pit is close to the house and front porch where people can stay on the porch and still enjoy the fire and conversation. If you are looking for a place that doesn't have the corporate feel, but one of a more personal touch, this is a good choice and you won't be disappointed.

Whirlwind WCU Orientation
Very quick mountain trip for our granddaughter's orientation. Ive rented several properties through VRBO but never one that was as well stocked and cozy as this one. Our host, Mark, was so accommodating. Everything was perfect. My only regret is we didn't have more time to enjoy the area. The description of this property is spot on. We are looking forward to visiting again soon.

Just perfect
Mark, the owner, was incredible from initial booking through checkout. His property is absolutely the most well stocked of any we have ever stayed in. Literally, bring your people and food and some firewood. Then, sit back and enjoy the view, the porch, the fire pits, the stargazing, the quiet. A perfect Christmas holiday in the mountains.

Great Cabin… beautiful views.
We loved our mountian cabin getaway. The house is very spacious for the family to spread out but also cozy. The views are amazing. Being able to watch deer graze while drinking coffee on the front porch was a much needed break from our daily rushed routine. You can tell Mark takes pride in his home/property. He was very helpful with all my questions and made sure we everything we needed. It was a pleasure for my family to have the opportunity to stay in this cabin. We can’t wait to come back!

Great Cabin!!!!
What a great place to stay! Everything about Mark’s cabin was awesome! From the communication, the directions to the cabin, the location everything was perfect. The cabin was very clean and everything was in its place. Plenty of the essentials were available in the kitchen and bathrooms. Beautiful sunrises from the porch or living room and the stars at night were incredible. A great base location for all of the amenities that the mountains of NC provide. We will definitely be returning!

Excellent cabin
We really enjoyed our stay. The owner made us feel very welcomed. There was a bottle of wine and a lovely welcome note. The kids enjoyed checking the chicken coop each morning for fresh eggs. There was plenty of paper goods and pantry with spices and a few left behind food. Plenty of towels and blankets and a supplied toilet paper and paper towels, which you don’t normally get with a cabin stay. This place is highly recommended and will stay in the future.

Loved the place
There was something for everyone to do in the area, weather certainly could have been better, but we all managed to find something to do. I love your chickens. Wanted to have back yard chickens myself, but $1 I don't think they are allowed here in Flagler Beach and #2 Mark would have to come and build me a coop like his :-) because the ones at Tractor Supply can't compare.

Best Cabin to stay! Close to WCU
Mark is the best host! He responds as fast as he can. He wants to make sure your stay is what you want it to be. His cabin is perfect location. Close to town but far enough to enjoy quiet mountain living. Fresh eggs! All the amenities needed to make your stay relaxing. This cabin is perfect for parents or alumni to stay when visiting campus. Very close! This was our second stay and will continue to come back!

Perfect property
This property near Western Carolina was perfect for our WCU homecoming reunion trip.
It is a beautiful home hosted by Mark who was close to property if needed and available anytime during our stay.
The house was spacious, clean, and felt just like being at home with plenty of room for our group of 8 adults. Fully furnished with all the amenities for a perfect getaway!
Seeing the deer in the from the front porch in the early mornings was an added treat along with the wood burning fire pit out back. We enjoyed it every evening!
We hope to plan another trip soon!!!
Thanks, Mark, for you more than perfect hospitality and for opening your home to us.

Nestled in western North Carolina mountains, this home was immediately welcoming to my family including our two dogs. If you’re looking for a generic company run vacation home this is not it. Be ready for attention to detail by an extremely thoughtful owner/host. Literally everything you use or need at home has been supplied. The house is also spotless

Great location - Quiet and peaceful
Great location if you are going to WCU, Franklin or Sylva. House had everything we needed, even fresh eggs that Mark had placed in the frig from his chickens outside. Location is very quiet and peaceful. Just a short drive to WCU.
Mark was very easy to communicate with. You will see deer and turkey in the yard in the evenings and early morning. Judaculla Rock is very close and wortht he visit. However, go soon and the markings are fading after a thousand years.
You will not regret stay here. Great price and wonderful location
