Hear From Our Amazing Guests!
Very private Mountain View’s in a cabin with excellent comfort and accommodations.
Beautiful place! We really enjoyed the panoramic views from the porch and living area morning, noon, and night! Easy drive into town! Would definitely stay again!
Lori was very easy to communicate with and made our stay as easy as possible. The house was amazing and the view was breathtaking.
We had a great girls weekend. The cabin was beautiful and very clean. Definitely would like to come back!
This house was exactly as advertised and exceeded our expectations in a North GA mountain house where we frequently rent for extended weekends. The view is spectacular, all of the appliances and amenities are luxurious, and the place was well stocked with everything you would need and expect. Lori was a terrific communicator and we had no issues checking in/out. One thing our party loved and didn't expect was being only 20 minutes from Downtown Blue Ridge with 19 minutes being on easy to drive highway road. This is not a treacherous drive with small, windy roads and that made it great for everyone driving. We ended up going into town multiple times and loved the dining and entertainment experiences we had. This place has it all and we expect to rebook soon.
Lori's place was just what we needed after the hustle and bustle of the holidays. The back deck is amazing, and the views are unreal! We stayed here with our 3 children and the house truly felt like home for all of us. The beds are very comfortable, and the house feels more like a home than a rental. All bedrooms are on different levels, so keep that in mind if your children are little. My boys loved the games downstairs, and the hot tub was so nice at night. Like others mentioned, this is in a neighborhood, but the cabin itself felt very private, and we didn't see anyone else in the surrounding homes when we were there. We did see a lot of deer, though! Close to the orchard and downtown blue ridge activities as well. We will definitely return!
Beautiful cabin with a spectacular view. Everything was extremely clean and organized. The hot tub was really big, fit 7 college football players. The pool table is very nice also! We stayed in the cabin for the majority of the trip due to it being so cozy! The trip was amazing, I would definitely recommend.
Lori's place is really special and a great destination for friends and family. Everything you see in the in the pictures is just as good, if not better, in person. We went up there the week after Thanksgiving to do a family get-a-way and when we got there we were really impressed with everything. There's even a Christmas tree! I would highly recommend.
It was absolutely perfect and we can’t wait to come back! My family all came together for Thanksgiving and from the second we walked up to the property to when we left we made the most amazing memories! The home was so well decorated, appointed and no detail was left out. In my past experience with vacation rentals, it can seem like the owners have cut corners to save on cost but this was certainly not the case! We made a full thanksgiving dinner and every thing we could need in the kitchen was available. The decor was so intentional and tons of layering that really made it feel like a home! 12/10! Already trying to plan return trip in the summer!
This cabin was amazing! The best views from the coziest porch we’ve ever seen! Lori was amazing communicating with us. The adults and the kids loved the game room and hot tub. The pictures don’t do the place justice. We hope to return.
I can’t say enough great things about this stay! The house is absolutely beautiful and the views are breathtaking. The layout having a bedroom and bathroom on each level makes it great for multiple couples/families. The back porch is an amazing space for dining, relaxing by the fire, and watching TV. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back!
We had a wonderful and relaxing week at the cabin. Our favorite part was the view from the wrap around porch...it was amazing! Everything was as described in the listing and Lori was extrememly responsive to our emails. We will definitely be keeping this cabin on our list for future stays.
Beautiful cabin & outstanding views. We have never stayed in a cabin with a view like this one! So breathtaking! The outside seating area was amazing. Inside, everything was very well decorated and extremely clean. This cabin was plenty of room for my little family of 4 plus my in-laws. Would be great for a couple's trip with everyone having their own bedroom on each floor. We come to Blue Ridge at least twice a year and this cabin is at the top of our list! Thank you!!
Stunning cabin with the most stunning view! I will definitely book here again!
Absolutely beautiful Cabin and breathtaking views! We have stayed in the Blue Ridge area many of times and this was by far the best View we ever had!
5 star!! Our family can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our long Fall weekend vacation. Beautiful views of the mountains, pristine spotless cabin with all the amenities, quiet, and fantastic host! We have twin toddlers and Lori went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed for a great trip, including new baby gates! Great memories and we will definitely be back! Would highly recommend to anyone.
Stunning view, quiet location a must stay for anyone ! Close to Blue Ridge and Mercier Orchards. Lori’s house is amazing and you will not be disappointed. A MUST Stay !!
Beautiful cabin with pretty views. Host was very responsive to questions. Would definitely stay here again!
We had a great time at Lori’s place. It was clean and good location. Lori was very responsive to all my questions. I would recommend it to anyone with large group.
Beautiful place! The host were respectful, caring and responsive to our questions. I loved the cabin!
This cabin is absolutely fantastic. It is one of the cleanest cabins I have ever rented. The kitchen was well stocked. The gas grill was nice. The furniture was extremely comfortable. The outside has an amazing view. Check-in was so easy. Lori was excellent with communication. She responds quickly to any question. I highly recommend this cabin and would love to return.
Nice and relaxing. Mr Rainer at sunset was stunning. Very comfortable and well maintained cabin.
My family and I loved the house! The view was beautiful and ever changing. We never needed to turn on the TV with the amazing scenery outside. The kids loved all of the games downstairs and the comfy furniture in the loft. The house was very comfortable and allowed a lot of togetherness, but also enough separation when someone needed it. We hope to return again!
The cabin was beautiful! Very clean and even better than the photos. House had tons of games and family fun to enjoy. Pack n play for my little one was convenient. Easy to find, though if staying during any season with snow I’d highly suggest 4 wheel drive as the roads are a bit to traverse, but well worth it for the view. The community pool was an added bonus. Host was extremely responsive and helpful with questions regarding cabin and recommendations for things to do. Amazing stay! Highly recommend.
Beautiful cabin with lots of extras. Loved the Mountain View from font deck. Super peaceful. We Had deer visit and come right up to you. Hot tub was a bonus. Lori was great to work with, very responsive and friendly.
We had both sides. It was great to have the 2 full kitchens and 6 bathrooms for the 16 of us. Homes had the most amenities in the kitchen that we have ever stayed at. We would go back.
Nice stay! Place was exactly as pictured and Lori was an amazing help and responded promptly to any question I had!
My parents loved the house and the endless parade of local wildlife that came through too
Amazing property. Felt at home and safe while staying there. Houses we're beautiful and cozy.
This was a beautiful house! Loved the view and being a little remote. Also this was one of the cleanest houses I have ever stayed in. I recommend that you follow the directions provided by Lori. Print in advance and don’t rely on GPS. GPS steered us in the wrong direction.
I cannot say it enough, how stunning the view was of Mount Rainier from the porch!!
It was an excellent stay! The location was very close to the town and the groceries. Its surrounded by beautiful nature and endless views. The house is very stylish and comfortable for 2 couples and our 1 year old. We took advantage of the warm weather and enjoyed outdoor deck all the time. Indoor and outdoor wood fireplaces are great plus to enjoy the evenings. The host was very helpful during check in and out also provided us a baby cot. (That was very helpful) Thanks again! We can’t wait to go back.
I definitely recommend a peaceful get away to this charming location. The cabin was cozy and just as describe. The place was very clean, welcoming , and had everything we needed to feel at home. As for the host Lori she was quick to respond and her hospitality was outstanding!
Beautiful and peaceful location. The cabin was clean, private and nicely decorated. Absolutely perfect stay! Lori was a great host.
Beautiful modern cabin with amazing views. Will definitely come back in the future!
We loved the layout of the units for a large group. Both units were nicely appointed, clean, and very “homey.” Each unit had everything we needed to cook breakfast for everyone. There were even toys and play tents for children. It would be a great summer place as far as proximity to the lake and grilling out. It was in a quiet area and not too far from downtown for our activities. Great place for a large group or large family. We would love to stay there again next year!!!
We enjoyed our time at Lori’s cabin. I imagine it is best for a girl’s getaway, two couples or families with older kids given the bedroom layouts on all separate levels. The contemporary and minimal decor throughout the cabin is nice and the downstairs bedroom is incredibly cozy with a fireplace and quick access to the hot tub. The views from the deck are beautiful (especially at sunrise) and the deck furniture was so comfortable. Not very secluded as it is in a neighborhood but I can see that being a benefit to other groups of travelers who like convenience and quick access. Thanks again!
We really enjoyed our stay. The house was as advertised. Lori was a great host. Excellent communication. We would definitely stay there again.
