Perfect getaway for family
This home was the perfect distance from hikes, good food, horseback riding, and gem mining! The kids loved it all… but especially the hot tub. The layout is great for big families.

Great stay
We absolutely loved this cabin and its views. The location was close enough to town but just remote enough to enjoy the peace and quiet. It was also great that the cabin was fully stocked with towels, bathroom toiletries, etc. We loved that we were able to enjoy a vacation with our dog and hope to be able to return soon.

Absolutely Amazing!
This cabin was immaculately, clean and breathtakingly beautiful. During our stay, I develops a kidney infection and needed emergency surgery for a kidney stone and the host so graciously extended our stay by two days so that my husband could stay with me in the hospital and that my children could get home safely, I can’t thank Owner for their kindness. We will definitely be staying there again. It’s a dream vacation in the mountains and we’re so grateful that they were willing to share their beautiful home with our family.

Great House!! 4.5 stars
I can say nothing bad about this house! We spent 3 nights at Barefoot Retreat & It is absolutely beautiful and so well appointed! The drive in is gorgeous, with the gravel driveway & views. The owners really took their time to make you feel like you were at home with all the little details. The sauna was amazing !! I spent time in it every night along with the hot tub with beautiful views. The game room was a blast , we loved playing darts & the vintage arcade was fun. Where you can’t “see” our neighbors which is awesome, you’ll hear them. Some mornings it was hard to spend time outside as their dogs were very vocal, but I know that can’t be helped. It wasn’t all the time though. When we did get to be outside with our coffee was peaceful & truly beautiful.

Bear Cabin
I give this Cabin five + stars. Absolutely gorgeous fully stocked. Everything work properly. Enough beds for the family. Game room was great for fun time. Fire pit. Sauna hot tub. Music. Screen in porches but my favorite has to be the view from the second floor balcony. This cabin was everything and more. Easy check in and out.

Absolute favorite cabin in NC
This huge home blew us away with its amazing view. We also quite enjoyed being able to enjoy the night sky from the hot tub. We've stayed in a lot of mountain cabins, but this quickly became our absolute favorite. It was very welcoming, well equipped, and we enjoyed the Halloween decorations. Additionally, this was my 10-year-old son's first cabin trip, and he was in heaven.

Great Weekend
We stayed in this property over a holiday weekend and absolutely loved it. It is a bit of a drive to Hot Springs, but the dash over to Marshall is nothing, and the views are worth the trip in any event. This is a great home. Would 10/10 stay here again.

Perfect family getaway
The cabin is completely secluded with incredible views of the mountains. The cabin felt cozy and very comfortable yet spacious too. We prepared many meals in the well equipped kitchen and grill. When at the cabin, we enjoyed the hot tub and ping pong best...but the sauna was nice and we did play darts and cornhole. No one was ever bored (two teenage girls!). There is excellent hiking very nearby. It's an easy trip Asheville. Fun was had by all! 1

A true mountain cabin experience
This is a lovely cabin with beautiful Mountain Views on an isolated hill in the middle of the woods. If you’re looking for a remote but comfortable place to stay it’s great. Cute kitschy decor, well stocked kitchen, and comfortable beds and lots of space for a large group. The best part was the porch (multi levels) to comfortably enjoy the views. We had some issues with cleanliness on check-in, as well as smoke detectors beeping and no heat on arrival - but the issues were resolved by the managers in time for us to enjoy our stay.
