The cabin was great and clean. The cabin was well stocked. The porches and fire pit were nice. They were 8 ladies and we slept comfortably. The cabin is nice and secluded perfect for a relaxing getaway.
From the owner: "Thank you so much, Judy! It was a pleasure to host you and your friends."
When you plan a trip you can't always plan for weather. There were 8 of us and it rained a lot. We had a blast! The game room downstairs was packed with fun for all ages in our party. We had a movie night in the living room to catch up on some of the Marvel classics. The kitchen is perfect if your cooking for 2 or 8. Lots of space for everyone to be together, but not feel on top of each other. Oh and cards on the screened in porch was my favorite way to end the day.

From the owner: "Thank you, Courtney! It makes my day to hear that you enjoyed staying at Shady Pines. Please come visit us again soon!"
The cabin was nice & secluded as described. Be aware that the drive from the paved road to the cabin is very tight & turns sometimes steep. When first arriving it's best not taken at night or in the rain. My biggest issue was that while the whole cabin was on the surface clean - if you looked up & around, inside & out, the whole property needed a good thorough clean. In addition many of the dishes & cups were chipped or cracked and the kitchen had ants. For the price point I expected more than that. Despite those issues the location was perfect & the trip was great for our adult family.

Hi Mark, we're glad to hear you enjoyed the location and your time at the cabin. We take guest feedback seriously and passed your comments on to the homeowner who would like to share the following: We aim to ensure that our guests have a comfortable stay with us and provide high standards of hospitality.
- If anything fell short of your expectations or standards, we would have appreciated it if you had contacted us so we could have addressed the issue and made it right for you. We encourage open communication with our guests to ensure their satisfaction.
- We always make it a priority to replace any worn or broken items as soon as we're aware of them.
- We truly value the cleanliness of the cabin and we constantly strive to update it to ensure a better experience.
- In regards to the road to the cabin, we send out an email to every guest before their stay to suggest that they arrive before dark due to the steep curve to get to our cabin, as it is located on a mountain.
We'd love another chance to host you for your next vacation! We appreciate your support and hope to make your stay even better the next time around.
This cabin was surrounded by trees and peaceful, clearly well-loved by its owner. We had a relaxing holiday weekend, going to nearby Blue Ridge to shop and eat. We communicated briefly with the owner and she was responsive and very easy to reach. We would go back!!
