House is in excellent shape and is better than depicted by the pictures. The location is very private, but also very close to downtown Blue Ridge. We would stay here again.
We absolutely fell in love with this home. It was very clean, spacious and had all the little extras you might forget about( spices, cleaning supplies, laundry and dish soap). The rooms are huge, beds are so comfortable and the views are so serene. Would absolutely recommend and I’ll definitely rent again!
Great location!!! We loved our 3 night stay here.
The smiling goat cabin is top notch. I had no idea there is a trail behind the property. It’s located minutes from restaurants and shopping. The decor has that classic cabin feel yet modern. I will definitely book this location in the near future.
This was our fifth trip to Blue Ridge in the last 2 years and this was by far our favorite cabin! We celebrated a small family thanksgiving and the cabin had everything we needed for our Holiday dinner. The layout and amenities of the cabin are so well thought out, we were very comfortable with our group of adults and children! The cabin was immaculate and very clean upon arrival. There were also plenty of resources for us to review (recommended hikes, restaurants, etc.). The location can not be beat, you can be in downtown Blue Ridge in about 8 minutes and in Elijay in 15! We can not wait to book our next stay :)
