Your cabin is spacious, with plenty of room to roam. Spend your mornings sipping coffee on the covered deck overlooking the forest—cool mountain air, birdsong, and sweeping Blue Ridge views. The great room features soaring vaulted ceilings with clerestory windows that bring the outdoors in. Cozy up by the crackling stone wood-burning fireplace in the overstuffed recliner or comfy sofa. Watch your favorite shows or movies on the large Smart TV with streaming apps (Netflix, YouTubeTV, etc.).
