JoeRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We're still coming down from our jaunt up the mountain to stay at Tammie and Christian's little gem of modern cabin. Seclusion, well-stocked kitchen, layout, maintained property and a porch swing, exceeded our expectations to decompress for a few days after some stressful months. Most importantly, Tammie was extremely proactive in communicating instructions, checking in regularly which we find more value in these days than the property itself. Looking forward to a return sooner than later. Much love.

Roost on Rhodhiss pvt lower level apartment

What a beautiful little nook nestled alongside a tranquil lake (may technically be a river but seems like a lake)! I needed some peace and quiet to work on a project and even though this place is technically the lower level of Pam's house, it provided completely quiet and serenity. The adorable gated community provides great opportunities for casual strolls and a quaint little park with swings and a fireplace. I really enjoyed my stay, enjoyed my conversations with Pam and found this brand new AirBnB to be absolutely worth the price.

Six Waterpots Cottage II in Blue Ridge Mountains

MozamilRating, 5 stars7 months ago

This was a great little place to stay for a short stay. I will say, the place looks bigger than it actually is. There wasn't a dryer as mentioned or hair dryer. however it wasn't a big deal. I wouldn't bring more than 2 people here. Between having a 2 suitcases and 2 people, there wasn't much space. Again, its more of a short term stay for 2 minimalist people. Overall, it was a great place and great experience. The views were beautiful, the firepit/grill was big and lots of outdoor seating. private from other houses and very peaceful.
