Kevin was a very gracious, helpful host. He contacted me on several occasions to be sure they were ready for our 2-night stay. Our weekend was mostly about bicycling the Blue Ridge Parkway (which was incredible, by the way! If you ride a road bike, try March or early April when sections of the road are closed to cars but easily accessible to cyclists. It's like a cycling playground -- tons of us out there enjoying breath-taking views!). Kevin offered a locked storage place for our bicycles. He let me know the place was ready even earlier than the specified check-in time in case we wanted to get ready for a ride. He left notes that made everything easy to follow, including a tip about finding a hawk's nest. The cottage is like a peaceful treehouse -- comfortable, well equipped, and private. We lacked for nothing! We will likely return.
