Our cabin - On the Rocks is perched on the edge of a rocky cliff surrounded by wooded forest and seasonal mountain view. It is not a safe place for small children to roam around unsupervised. You can cozy up by the wood burning fireplace (only in winter- Oct to April) or the firepit in the back yard (down 20 steps), explore the trail surrounded by mountain laurels and other wildflowers (Don’t forget to grab a coffee and sit at the table we made from a fallen tree along the way) to the old railway tracks for a perfect Insta-photo opportunity. Follow the stream on your way back and you will end up at the driveway - do stop and enjoy the Rhododendrons and Mountain Laurels on your way back (during bloom season)

Bring your hiking boots and a water bottle and hit the Benton- MacKaye trail, a major branch of the Appalachian Trail.

Relax in the evening in the basement porch and enjoy the Hot Tub that is always set at 100 degrees in a well-lit porch or sit by the fire pit (fire wood included) and toast some marshmallows over the fire.

We provide starter supplies of most amenities (toiletries, dishwashing pods clothes detergent, toilet paper, trash can liners etc.) but they will not be replenished during your stay unless you request it in advance (extra fee applies). We supply all towels, bedding, linen etc.
You may find some food items in the pantry as we often use the Cabin ourselves. You are welcome to use them if you wish, but please finish or discard any leftover perishable items that you use. Please do not leave opened sauce bottles in the pantry. Always check the label for your allergies. We are not responsible for any illness/adverse reactions that could occur related to any specific food.

Roads up here

We want you to enjoy your stay at our Cabin, but we also want you to be aware of the road conditions. The last mile to our Cabin is a gravel and unpaved road that can be a bit tricky to drive on. If you are used to driving in the mountains, you should have no problem. But if you are more comfortable on paved roads, you may find it challenging especially when it rains or snows. The HOA does its best to maintain the road, but sometimes there are holes and ruts. We suggest using a high clearance AWD / 4WD SUV for a smoother and safer ride. Once you're up here, you will feel fully secluded and settled into your romantic getaway!

Attention all Jeep 4Xe (and other Hybrid vehicle) owners!

A Stage-2 charger, 40 AMP (Grizzl-e) is available for you to use free of charge. Charger is located right next to the stairs that go up the porch next to the outdoor faucet on the Cabin wall.
Note: The charger only has J1772 plug (Does NOT fit Tesla and Tesla to J1772 adapter usage is prohibited). Owner is not responsible any damage to your vehicle due to proper or improper use of the charger.

You will have access to the whole Cabin including the basement apart from one closet in the second bedroom and the crawl space.

You will use a smart lock to unlock both the main floor and the basement. The lock codes are valid for the duration of your stay.

- Wild animals and inclement weather
We appreciate your understanding that our location in the woods (and mountains) may bring some challenges like bugs, bears, deer, snakes, other wild animals and bad weather from time to time. Please kindly adhere to safety protocols and be prepared for some unexpected events due to inclement weather (such as short power outages etc.). DO NOT leave any food items outside - Black Bears do visit this mountain quite often.
