The cabin is wonderful! The photos don’t do the property justice and you’ll be very pleased upon arrival. The back deck has great dusk, dawn and overnight sounds, including turkeys, owls, loons, all sorts of other birds, and out of our 4 night stay I heard coyotes 1 night. The host was very helpful in my time of need despite his family being on a very important trip out of town. If you’re not quite familiar with Lake Gaston/Roanoke River, make sure you understand the cabin’s proximity to the water and get a better idea of what to expect.
