Three Peaks Basecamp

Vikki's place is fantastic. The location is wonderful. So beautiful. The cabin is set up great. They have a FULL kitchen. We made most of our meals. The driveway wants bad at all. We were able to navigate it in our sedan without issue.

Really pretty area, be sure to check out Little Switzerland. Tiny house was lovely. Soft cozy bed, nice bath towels. AC was on & ice maker was full. Felt very welcoming. Dog had to stay leashed but lots of room to walk about.

Had a wonderful using the cabin and lands as a basecamp for hiking. Well furnished cabin with plenty of supplies for anything cooking or fire related, the copies of maps on the fridge was a very nice touch. The property is well maintained and very charming, a barn with a large troupe of ducks at the end of the gravel road add to the backwoods demeanor and make for a relaxing early morning atmosphere. Owners were most accommodating and would whole-heartedly recommend them again!

Relax and Unwind

Our stay at Three Peaks Basecamp was peaceful and relaxing. My husband and I lodged in the cabin on the property. It was meticulously cleaned, well-furnished, and stocked with everything we could possibly want for a tranquil stay. The hosts did an amazing job at making this cabin feel like a true home away from home-- even stocking the fridge and pantry with some unexpected treats and baking essentials. We felt so well taken care of. The deck adjoined to the cabin and the outdoor space was perfect for relaxing and al fresco dining. We enjoyed watching the ducks ambling near the farm, watching the clouds float lazily float by, and taking deep breaths of the sweet mountain air. Linville wilderness is a short, scenic drive away. If in the area, it’s a beautiful spot to visit. There are so many picturesque hiking spots, and natural activities nearby. You can’t go wrong in this area; You’re sure to see something beautiful. Thank you for sharing your calm corner of pure country with us! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at Three Peaks Basecamp, and deeply appreciate your genuine hospitality.

Delightful stay!

It was an amazing little cabin. The host did an amazing job preparing it and even stocked it with some delightful breakfast foods. That was a nice surprise. I enjoyed the campfire and the basket of s’mores fixings. A beautiful state in the middle of everything. A hot shower in the extremely comfortable bed. I would highly recommend.
