Just Right
We were in town to visit family and found the cabin clean & comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and the laundry room as well. The hot & muggy weather made the a/c so important, and the two units easily kept us cool. The cabin's large livingroom and diningroom gave us plenty of room to gather as a group when Burnsville crew came over.

My husband, son, and I loved this cabin. It is in a very peaceful area of Burnsville, yet so close to the center of town. The house was clean and tidy. We had no issues whatsoever. We would definitely stay here again.

great cabin.....miserable check in
would love to stay here often, but communication & check in must drastically improve. 3 phone conversations with VRBO proved unsatisfactory.....no real help; finally got in the place 2 hours post check in time in near freezing temps. Wanted to come one day early to spend more time volunteering in WNC but could not reach host

Enjoyed our stay at Cabin in the City
The cabin was very clean, quiet and comfortable. The host was very responsive and helpful. The king size foam mattress was very soft and the pillows were large.
The air conditioners and floor fan were adequate at cooling the house. The kitchen was very good, as were the washer & dryer. There is a nice front porch but some side deck boards need replacing. The yards of the adjacent homes are untidy, but we enjoyed seeing horses in a nearby field and the view of a mountain. It was a great location for hiking in the area.

Family time in Burnsville!
Communication was excellent! Property was very clean with well stocked kitchen, bath, and laundry. So happy to have a large fan + A/C in 2 spots with temps near 90! Lovely porch for coffee time in the morning & great walking distance up the hill to library and Playhouse - we visited both!

Great Spot for Hiking with Dogs
This is truly a cabin in the city. It has quick access to the nearby food/grocery store while also being thirty minutes from great hiking spots. The front yard is enclosed and allows plenty of room for your dog to be able to chill outside without worry. The house itself is clean and well-stocked with supplies that you might need while there, and it has a view of the mountains when looking to the right of the house. The town square has a few cute shops to browse through, and the nearby Garden Deli restaurant is really good. We really enjoyed our time staying at the “cabin in the city” and hope to return one day.
My friend, dog, and I stayed here for a hiking trip. We hiked the Roaring Fork Falls Trail which was thirty minutes from the house - highly recommend! We then drove to Mt Mitchell which was also thirty minutes from the house. However, plan for a full hour to get to the top of Mt Mitchell if you want to hike the Overlook Trail and the Balsam Nature Trail (also highly recommend) as it takes thirty minutes to just drive up the mountain.

Amazing hosts
In the hospitality industry, things don’t always go perfect. Sometimes things just happen that we have to roll with. The hosts and I did just that. They were apologetic over something minor and I helped how I could and hopefully made things easier on them. We can’t control every little detail, but we can control how we respond. I recommend this rental, it was adorable, the fenced in yard was a bonus!
