We loved every minute of our stay in the cabin! The neighborhood was safe and local to everything. We traveled with our dogs, so the fenced-in yard, riverfront park and dog-friendly breakfast/lunch cafe within walking distance was fantastic. Alex was great to communicate with and provided great recommendations. Check-in was simple and the cabin was immaculate when we arrived. We took advantage of great weather and spent most days on the hiking trails with our pups. Our favorite was Schoolhouse Falls. The trail is a short hike (not especially challenging at all), but the falls have a great beach and swimming hole. It was perfect for a picnic and we had the place to ourselves all day. You’ll find plenty to explore just driving along Blue Ridge Pkwy. Zen Tubing was a fun, relaxing 3 hr float down the French Broad river (bring sunscreen!). We skipped dinner reservations and chose to play each day by ear. We were able to just walk around downtown and found some tasty places. We loved the food at Ukiah and Strada. We would definitely stay at this property again and would recommend to our friends!
