Sitting in a rocking chair on the porch in the morning with coffee was so relaxing. All of the bedrooms are super comfortable and have private baths - perfect! There is cable TV and wifi for convenience. The kiddos are entertained by ping pong and foosball. The kitchen is gorgeous and we cooked many wonderful meals. There is a Wal-Mart a little under 10 miles away, and an Ingles grocery store a little beyond that. This cabin was phenomenal. Lots to do in the area. White water rafting, zip lining, aerial adventure park, gem mining, hiking, tubing, you name it. Don't forget to check out the nearby apple orchard. It has a great restaurant, delicious hard cider, amazing bakery and candy/fudge shop, and so much more. Best vacation ever for our group of 4 adults and 5 kiddos (some teens, some elementary age). |
