Not impacted by Hurricane Helene! Our pods (arched cabins) are newly constructed tiny homes, well situated for both spectacular views as well as romantic privacy. Each home has an arched cabin style, cozy, yet well-appointed with a bedroom (queen bed), full bathroom, full kitchenette and living area with sofa and Roku TV. Homes are located close enough to enjoy a campfire with neighbors, but separated enough to enjoy that special romantic evening on your own large deck with spectacular views, or late at night enjoying the stars above. Each cabin has its very own fire pit. All cabins are outfitted with an outdoor hottub. Property is over 60 acres of onsite hiking trails, or find your special spot to sit on a bench and enjoy the view. We are just up the road from the Toe River. The famous Appalachian Trail is just minutes away, as are the Gem mines that made Mitchell County famous. Our property is historic and once a famous location for moonshine production, detailed in the book "Red Hill" available on Amazon. Or Google the "Bakersville Riots". Truly a place to enjoy hiking, or just relaxing on the beautiful large decks.

We'll be back!

Ocean Blue

This was a great place to stay. We went with a group that rented out all of the cabins for a group trip, but my wife and I will definitely be back for our own trip. The cabins were clean and well-designed. The property is beautiful, and the owner, Kevin, is a super cool and interesting guy. The hot tubs were perfect, the towns nearby are nice, and there's a lot of hiking potential nearby as well. Booking this place gives you everything you need to experience the mountains in comfort.

We went with a group of friends and stayed in multiple cabins to view the lunar eclipse. We all enjoyed the lodging, hot tubs, cooking over the firet, he views, and the amenities! We met Kevin he is very nice, responsive, and was a fantastic host. All of the cabins were exceptionally clean and well maintained. We really enjoyed all of the small thoughtful touches. Our pooch loved his time as well!

Great stay at the cabin

Brown

Kevin was a fantastic host, super responsive & gave us perfect details of everything! Very quick to reply. The property is great, with many places to hike. The cabin kept us warm & toasty. The only thing I would recommend is the tv mount be adjustable, it’s not a great angle to watch from the couch. But hey, you don’t go to sit & watch the TV! Beautiful views, would recommend to everyone, especially great for dogs that like to hike with their families!

Perfect weekend getaway

Sky Blue

We stayed in Sky Blue and it was perfect! The views are amazing, the hot tub is luxurious, and the cabin was delightful. It’s the perfect amount of space for two people with lots of attention to detail and little extras. Fyi, bring any pots/pans you may need, but everything else is provided! The space is clean and the communication with Kevin is excellent. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!

Sky Blue

The properties are beautiful and in the perfect location. The inside was beautiful and offered a lot more than we expected, they had several towels and the kitchen was well equipped. We enjoyed the hot tub very much and honestly wish we had stayed longer. We are definitely looking forward to going back for more days of course.
