Other Details to Note
🐻 Wildlife & Mountain Living
Our cabin is surrounded by nature, so you may encounter birds, butterflies, squirrels, deer, insects, or even the occasional bear. We provide regular pest control, but wildlife encounters are part of mountain life. Encounters are possible and are at your own risk; we are not liable for wildlife activity during your stay.
⚠️ Bear Safety & Best Practices
🍽️ No food left outside-avoid leaving trash, birdseed, or compost outdoors
🗑️ Bear-proof trash enclosure-please place garbage inside & close securely
🚗 Lock your car doors-bears can and will try to enter unlocked vehicles
🔥 Clean the grill after use-prevents smells that attract wildlife
Please read the House Rules before Booking to make sure this is the cabin for you.

Michael’s cabin was a great place to stay at, beautiful view and extremely peaceful stay me and my wife had during our stay in blue ridge. Michael was very responsive to messages and very helpful with instructions and even helped me organize a surprise bouquet for my wife. I would definitely book with him in the future!

This was exactly what we were looking for. A peaceful retreat but not too far from town. The place is adorable and every detail for a comfortable stay was thought of. Michael was a wonderful host. We will be back for sure.

Michael's cabin was such a gift to us! We were staying at another cabin for a weekend getaway, but it just wasn't working. I messaged Michael and told him of our situation, and not only was his place perfect, he let us check in early and stay later so we had some extra time before heading back due to our circumstances.
Communication was amazing, the accomodations were prestine, and the bed was SO comfortable!
The sauna was super cool, and we loved enjoying a glass of wine by the fire. Not to mention the beautiful view from the front porch and sky view on the roof -- you couldn't ask for a better place. We'll definitely be back again!

Very easy check in and out. Michael stayed in communication at all times providing useful updates pertaining to arriving and departing information. Very punctual in responding. Cabin was perfect. Away from traffic back in the woods with walkable areas.
