Picture Perfect!
The property was in the middle of nowhere and that's just what we needed, some time to ourselves. We enjoyed waking up watching the deers every morning. Comfortable, cozy and clean ..the cabin is simply beautiful. The host was very easy to communicate with too. Enjoyed our "Thanksgiving Getaway" ...thank you for sharing your "Close to Heaven" cabin with us.

Great place to relax.
Everything was as described, and we had everything we needed. A freshly cut flower greeted us on the table. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch in the evening, listening to the birds, watching the sun set and an occasional deer stroll by. We spent a couple of days exploring Mt. Airy, NC and a few spots closer by in VA. Thanks for a relaxing time.

About the host

Host profile image
As lifelong residents of the area, we hope to provide a retreat for those who long for a beak from the rat race we all experience these days. We're now retired from busy, stressful careers, and we know that a weekend or more away in the beautiful rural Blue Ridge Mountains will rejuvenate your spirits.

Why they chose this property

The cabin is on a hill overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains. Roughly hewn logs lend a feeling of going back to the past. It is a perfect place to slow down and think or to just take a walk. One mile from the Blue Ridge Parkway, Five Miles from Blue Ridge Music Center, 3 Miles from Crooked Creek Fee Fishing/Recreation Area. About 23 miles from Mount Airy NC. home of Andy Griffith.
Favorite place of visitors to visit.
