The cabin is in a very private and quiet neighborhood with large lots, though it looks like they may be building next door soon as we received a visit from a survey crew member during our visit and there were some folks clearing out small trees. We had to change accommodations due to a schedule change with minimal time to research-so I was super bummed to realize the closest grocery option was 30 mins away in Marion (luckily an Ingles!) Just be prepared to stop somewhere on the way. Overall very happy to have a hot tub and comfy bed for the stay. Easy check in and super easy to get in and out with the door code. I have to mention- I do wish more attention was paid during cleaning. Upon arrival I noticed a bunch of grease splatter in the microwave, food debris in the fridge, and towels left in the wash. That really needs to be addressed because it ruins a first impression. My husband also had to fix one of the toilets and sink faucet aerators when he got in because of the sediment.

This place was awesome and the host was very responsive. It’s a bit out of the way, down long winding country roads, but that’s what one is looking for in a cabin retreat. I brought a 16 foot boat and that was a bit to tow up through the winding hills, still do-able. Getting to lake James was easy and the Canal Bridge boat ramp was about 30 min away. Hot tub was great! Fire pit was great! Mattresses were quality and we all slept nicely. The large bay windows did not feel vulnerable because the surrounding houses are well enough away and blocked by the forest. My kids loved the place. Only thing to know is that you gotta stock up on food, beer, supplies because it is quite a ways a way from anything. Not a bad thing for a woodsy getaway, but you can’t just ‘run to the store’ quick.
