The property and the host were amazing. So many hiking opportunities close to the property that's why we went.
Will definitely be back and highly recommend to other renters
The property is close by several good hiking trails and the lake. Nearby towns have all you can need and there are 2 wineries about 30 minutes away that we very much enjoyed. Overall a super place at this price point.
The commode was way to low for the older people in our day of life it really needs to be a higher seating toilet so you don’t have to fight to get off the seat of the toilet!! But everything thing else was awesome!! Thank you for the great place to stay !!!
The cabin was great. Had everything you would need.
Loved the fire pit. Everything was close, caves, boating, swimming, and hiking. Would definitely go back again.
Home. was very nice and comfortable beds were perfect Overall everything was great. loved the couch We went hiking everyday The beauty of the mountains was awesome Great location
Lovely property being a refurbished Trullo which has been sympathetically extended. Very comfortable with a number of additional facilities which made our stay more enjoyable - coffee machine, table tennis table, beech towels, BBQ & pizza oven. Lovely pool and outdoor space. Close to the main key attractions of the region - Alberobello, Polignano and Locorotondo. Wouldn't hessitate to recommend.
Everything was wonderful… perfect mix of a secluded mountain top cabin and beach bungalow. Rustic with all the creature comforts. Felt like returning home for the holidays.

Nice quiet cabin. Cutely decorated. Enjoyed having my own bedroom!!
Place was clean, easy to find, plenty of room 2-4 people Property is beautiful. Great for a fishing stay if you have a boat to enjoy the Lake. Car noise during the day and early morning is very loud.
This was our second stay. The cabin is great. Clean and comfortable. It is an ideal location for a base camp to hike many sections of the AT. We use Boots Off Hostel less than a mile down the road to shuttle us to and from various trail heads.The host is very quick to answer questions. The outside porches are wonderful for relaxing. Watauga lake is just down the road and there are several attractions near by if you want to do other activities.
Three hiking buddies stayed here for three days section hiking the AT. The location of the cabin is great for accessing several trail heads. Just down the road from Boots Off Hostel who we used for our shuttles to the trails. (Great Service)The cabin was perfect. Very clean. Great outside deck areas. Cabin had everything we needed. Nicely decorated and very comfortable. The host was quick to respond to our questions. We loved it and have booked again for another hiking weekend!
It is on a highway but the property is surrounded by trees and greenery that really make it feel so secluded. It allows you to be in the mountains without all the traffic and crowds of a touristy place. There are plenty of nature outings within the general area and we always found new things to do. The house was clean and comfortable and we really enjoyed our stay there!
Cozy country cabin on road to Watauga Lake.
Host is friendly and accommodating. Close to lake and hiking. Near Appalachian trail and Roan Mountain is right down the road. Beautiful countryside! Home is quintessential country cabin - homey and artfully decorated.
