This "vacation" had been planned months before Hurricane Helene and we are glad we were still able to visit where we had not traveled before. It turned into a different time and definitely different sites as you can see the destruction. With that being said, the mountains are still a beautiful destination and it was good to help as we could. The outdoor light is motion sensor so be aware if you arrive or leave in the dark. Everything in and around the house was nice and it was an old creaky cabin. Plenty of pots and pans, kitchenware to cook anything you can think of. The TV is on the small side but worked just fine and their are also games in the cabinet when you come in the door. Very welcoming and inviting cabin with quiet surroundings, even with other neighbors near by. Jerrita was very friendly and responded very quickly!

The cabin actually felt like a cabin!!! Loved the secluded area, absolutely zero traffic noise. Recommend bringing everything you need, food, drinks, snacks, as shopping is a bit of distance away (1 to 2 hours)
