Great Cabin on the hill

Snake Charmer DeBary, FL
Review Submitted: October 28, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
Recently 10 of my motorcycling friends and I rented the Davis Cabin and the cabin is gorgeous. The kitchen is enormous as is the entire cabin. The owners have taken a great deal of time to decorate it and they did a great job. We never had an issue with having people under foot since 4500 sq ft is huge. The beds are comfortable and the showers always had good water pressure and plenty of hot water. The views are awesome and sitting around the fire pit at night was more fun than I remember.

The only negative of the cabin was the driveway. We were all on motorcycles and the driveway is not motorcycle friendly, regardless of your experience, if it is the least bit wet.

I would however highly recommend the cabin to anyone that is traveling by car or truck as the cabin is fantastic but motorcyclists should think twice.

Review Submitted: September 27, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Our family reunion (15 adults) stayed at this cabin Sept. 12-18, 2009. The website description is very accurate. We found the house to be beautifully decorated, very clean, comfortable (including the beds), with excellent maintenance, and well stocked, with plenty of good quality towels, linens, etc. Some of us with bad backs appreciated the extra pillows & pillowcases, as I have to sleep with a pillow between my knees. We loved the huge well-stocked kitchen (with 2 refrigerators) and seating area, since we cooked for our crowd nearly every night. All the extras that we used, like crock pots, blender, coffee makers, etc., were in good working condition. The 3 jacuzzi tubs & tile showers are huge. The water heater is HUGE, & plenty adequate for a crowd. We made great use of the hot tub, & grilled on the gas grill one night. There is a foosball table, which we did not use, but we did make use of the nice pool table. I admit that the light switches are confusing, but it wasn't hard to figure them out. The cabin is secluded with great privacy, yet close enough to amenities in Burnsville. We went whitewater rafting, horseback riding, hiking, visited Linville Caverns & Linville Falls, visited the Biltmore Estate & places of interest along the Blue Ridge Parkway, etc. The mountain views in the area are spectacular, even from the cabin. The owners are great to work with & gave excellent service, with quick responses to our inquiries. They can give you my email address if you want any more specific information about the cabin or the area. I would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone.

Awesome group get-away

RhondaRBL Raleigh, NC
Review Submitted: March 3, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
We had a group of 16 friends (a mix of couples and singles) stay here for a nice get-away weekend of playing games, hiking, etc. It was plenty spacious, and we never felt crowded. We could all hang out together, or split off into groups easily. The kitchen was fabulous - we brought groceries and cooked everyday, even grilled out one night - and everyone could eat & hang out in the kitchen at the same time. There was plenty of refrigerator room as well for stocking up on drinks.
Entertainment is pretty much up to you - we barely used the TVs and DVD players (except for playing on the Wii we brought ourselves), but they are there if you need them. We mainly played cards and games all weekend, and took some small hikes out around the cabin and it's surrounding trails and roads.
The outdoor hot tub was a nice perk - even when it was snowing outside, the hot tub was warm and cozy to hang out in!
The description on HomeAway is accurate, except for no foosball table or wood burning stove that we could find.
The property and house were overall very clean, but they could have dusted throughout a little better & cleaned a few cobwebs here and there. (We were also overrun with ladybugs, but that happens at home too :)
Our only "negatives" to mention, which we overlooked because everything else was so great: water pressure in a couple of the bathrooms wasn't very good. A couple of the beds weren't very comfortable to sleep on. Light switches in the house are in odd places, and sometimes hard to find (like the lights for the hot tub, we couldn't find for a whole day.)
Overall, this was a super place to stay, and a good value for the money! The owners were great to work with, and very nice & accommodating. We hope to return here again sometime!

Great for a large group

Synethia Raleigh, NC USA
Review Submitted: February 23, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
There were eight couples in our group and we had a great time at the cabin. The cabin is spacious enough that everyone had their own space and did not feel overcrowded.

The HomeAway website lists a woodburning stove in the living room and a foosball table but they were not there. All other descriptions are accuate.

We went skiing and tubing at Wolf Laurel and hike up the trail. The rest of the time was spent in the hot tub, playing pool, playing cards, watching movies, singing karaoke, eating and drinking.

The kitchen is very spacious so we were able to have multiple cooks in the kitchen at the same time. We brought a lot utensils and cooking pots with us just in case we needed them but the kitchen was very well stocked (some of the pots and bowls are due to be replaced though).

Some areas of the home had cobwebs indicating that those areas had not been cleaned in a while but overall it was very nice and I would stay here again.

I communicated with the owners, Bill and Cindy, before and after we arrived and they were both very friendly and helpful.

I would recommend this cabin to friends and family!

Great Log Cabin for Large Group

cynstar81 Durham, NC, USA
Review Submitted: November 19, 2008 Date of Stay: November 2008
This is a great log cabin for a big group. We were there in Nov 2008 and had a great time. The cabin itself is beautiful and roomy - I especially loved the kitchen - which is extremely well equipped. The view from the front porch is spectacular. The couches downstairs are so comfortable and the surround sound for the downstairs tv is sweet. Be prepared to learn your light switches as there are so many everywhere that it's a bit confusing but that is really a tiny little nitpick in an otherwise spectactular log cabin. The owner is organized and professional. I definitely recommend this place. My time there was unforgettable - I plan to return again.
