Pack a cooler and spend a weekend in the great outdoors. In town there is rafting, tubing, and the hot mineral springs. There are a couple of restaurants and pubs too. Although town is just 10 minutes away, once you get here you won't want to leave. Owners Ken and Amy are the most hospitable people you will ever meet. They start a campfire on Friday and nights at the main house and it doesn't go out til Monday morning. Bring your guitars and sit around with them, or have your own fire at your private cabin. The cabins are rustic and mountain themed. You will enjoy the silence of a night of camping with the luxuries of a bed, hot running water, electricity, and a nice shower. They even have sweet tea in the fridge for you when you arrive!

This may have been the best child free getaway that we've ever had. Our cabin at Broadwing Farms…read moredefinitely helped us unplug and reconnect. We left feeling so many emotions, but renewed, grateful and inspired were the strongest. Check in was simple. I was sent an extremely well laid out itinerary for checking in, what to expect during our stay, procedures, directions. They thought of everything. I didn't need to ask a single question. We stayed in the Pine cabin. I was booking 2 weeks in advance, so I had to take what was open and change my dates to stay during the week. Initially I had my sights set on the cabin with a screened in porch, but this sweet cabin was perfect for just the 2 of us. I can't say enough good things about our stay. The view from our little front porch, paired with the symphony of frogs, cicadas, and other wildlife was intoxicating. It was my favorite spot to eat breakfast, have my morning coffee, and then tea after lunch and dinner. It was still cool enough at night to open the windows and enjoy being sung to sleep by nature. Our private, large hot tub filled with mineral water from the hot springs was heaven on earth. It really did ease our achey joints and my skin seemed to love it. There's just enough of an opening in the trees above, in this secluded little haven, to be able to see the stars at night. I thoroughly enjoyed floating on my back, gazing at the stars at night. Then again in the morning, while the light, cool rain washed over the top of me. Everything about our stay was sensory heaven for me. The cabin was well stocked with what we may need. Very clean and cozy. By bringing our own bed linens and towels we saved $35 off of our cleaning fee. Cell service in the community is really spotty, so I was relieved to have wifi access in the cabin. For some reason, we figured out that we got the best connection on the couch by the patio doors. While we wanted to unplug for the week, we still needed to be able to check on our feral roommates that we call grandchildren. I hope my review inspires others to travel to Hot Springs. This community is still recovering from Hurricane Helene and could use our support. Everywhere we went, we were met with such friendliness and warmth. We heard several stories of resilience and of a community coming together for the greater good. They deserve more help than what they've received so far.

This whimsical retreat is a three-story, stone covered, storybook castle in the woods about 20…read moremiles north of Asheville, North Carolina. It is built into the hillside, so the second floor is the main entrance. Downstairs is the kitchen and living area with a delightful patio. The second floor has a large bedroom, bathroom and its own patio. The third floor is a loft with beautiful, wood-carved, queen-size bunk beds and foosball - the perfect place to stash the kids if you couldn't get away without them! The retreat is an ideal way to be "off the grid" for a weekend or full week of personal reflection, romance, fun with friends or a family retreat, but off the grid is an option since the cottage is wired with internet and satellite television. The decorator must have a great sense of humor. It is sophisticated enough to satisfy the most discriminating, but there are stuffed animals displayed like hunting trophies and peering out from cubbies. The road to the retreat is gravel covered and steep in spots. I can imagine it would require four-wheel-drive in the winter and you wouldn't want to drive a ground-hugging Ferrari at any time of the year. That ruggedness helps keep the riff-raff out to provide an incredibly quiet experience. (If your Yelp shows the Google map to the retreat location, you can see by the twisting, winding roads how far off the beaten track this respite is located!) Beefy's Retreat provides an enjoyable stay and a great chance to let your inner Maid Marian and Robin Hood run free!

We just returned from our North Carolina vacation. We experienced several highlights,but this…read more little "micro castle" , as they call it ,was the most unique. It is near Asheville but really out by itself so you feel privacy and accessibility. This is not roughing it. My Lord, they even had an Ipod Dock (which I had no idea existed) It would be a good idea if you go to bring an ATV, plenty of places to roam on the road. It is also a great place to ride bikes,hike all that stuff. We saw a ski resort at the bottom of the hill but the kids seemed to be taking the chair lift up carrying their bicycles Oh and the critter are abundant but fortunately the cute little hot tub is privately fenced. The place is small but has lots of beds. We are a couple and it was perfect small and very unique like a storybook tower in levels. We especially liked the Gratitude Tree, where we were encouraged to hang a message of what we were thankful for on this tree in the woods just outside the cabin. If you have a large family and want to spread out this may not be the place but I will be back for a hunting trip Also not easy to find but the directions were great, also back there the gravel road is king, that may require a 4WD in snow but we were there just at beginning of the leaf season which was awesome. The Asheville area was quite a pleasant surprise they call it the Paris of the South but this isn't supposed to be about that huh? Bring Food and Spirits with you. Nearest store is like 15 mins away. Quiet YES!!!

The drive up the mountainside was beautiful (and slightly scary) but oh-so worth it! I was relieved to have made it through the weekend without a flat tire considering the gravel roads we had to trek up to get to the cabin and to the beautiful hiking spots nearby. We made the whole trip in a Honda Accord but with the knowledge we have now, we'd likely get a more rugged rental car for our next visit. As for the cabin...right away I was in awe of how cute and cozy the whole cabin/property was! The cabin was perfectly stocked with everything you'd need for two guests (planning to share a comfortable queen-sized bed) - soap, towels, linens, dishes, silverware, etc. Everything you'd have to bring on your own was very explicitly and clearly stated on their website so we were more than prepared for the weekend trip. I've always loved the idea of "glamping" in a furnished cabin and this was everything and more. The cabin was decked out with new kitchen appliances, a toaster, plenty of pots and pans, drinking glasses, cooking spices, a clean stove top, washer/dryer, spacious shower with benches, outdoor grill, new bath vanity, adjustable TV, fireplace and easily-adjustable air conditioning unit with an electronic thermostat right on the wall. The outdoor patio had a table with bench seats and grill supplies such as an extra tank of propane, a lighter, a spatula and tongs. There was also a nice rocking bench fit for two, a fenced in yard for the pups and a cute little doggy door with a ramp leading straight from the patio to the yard. And saving the best for the last, the patio included a spacious private hot tub! Throughout the cabin, there were friendly, clearly written tips/instructions posted to remind you of how to adjust the thermostat, what settings to keep for the hot tub and how to use the washer/dryer, etc. This was very helpful! I also appreciated the "concierge book" of local activities, menus from local restaurants, and maps with directions to local hiking spots. This was helpful considering there were very few spots along the mountain-side where either of us got any service on our cellphones - a detail that is also clearly stated on their website. Overall, this was a wonderful, relaxing getaway I surely hope to repeat! Thank you to Amy, Mike and Lisa for all of your hardwork and attention to detail!

The cabin was adorable, sparkling clean, and wonderfully secluded. We enjoyed the gorgeous sunset mountain views from the porch and hot tub, and the amazing concierge book filled with restaurant menus, hikes, and activities. They have thought about everything you'd need! From a washer/dryer to a flashlight by the door to take your dog out at night. It was so nice to have no phone service and disconnect from city living for the weekend. I highly recommend this place and we will certainly be back soon! Bonus points, the town of Hot Springs was also very dog friendly! It was so fun to take her to the hardware store and out to lunch with us.

As well, the woman at the check in was an absolute gem. True southern hospitality. The cons: This campground is nothing like I thought it would be. I was parked between a row of fifth wheel trailers in what felt like a parking lot with no shade to be found in the middle of the day. There was a "creek" behind us but not at all anything you could fish in or do anything with. Very underwhelming. I felt like I was camping in a parking lot. I was told I had a different campsite than the one I was given and by the time I had everything set up I did not have the energy to take it all down and move sites. The noise from the surrounding roads diminished any relaxation that was to be had. It was in a beautiful part of Tennessee and not too far off of I-40 which is why we chose it, but the noise from the traffic made it a destination that I don't think I'll return to.

Gnats are bad. The campground is right off a noisy highway. It's a bit "Rustic". Won't be back.read more

The couch looks like it came from a yard sale and when I reclined to watch TV then got up the stuffing came out. Looked like a squirrel stuck under it! There's literally dust bunnies everywhere including under the bed, on the ceiling fans and even the wall in the bedroom. The bed is completely worn out. The boards underneath are sagging so bad my wife & I felt like two marbles in a bowl. It doesn't look like it's been cleaned in years under the bed. The water in the shower was warm but had very little pressure. The facility is in a beautiful location but really close to a busy road. The noise will keep you up or wake you up. It looked so promising at first and turned into a major disappointment. The people are super nice but need to clean and replace some worn out stuff!

One of two cabins we booked for our ski trip was through Scenic Wolf Resort (at Wolf Ridge)…read more Scenic Wolf Resort is a collection of mountain cabins located at Wolf Ridge. I'm not sure of the construction date of the cabins, but they all look relatively new. The development is a bit "cookie-cutter" as almost all the cabins look the same. Most, if not all, seemed to have multiple balconies with hot tubs and nice mountain views. We stayed in Cabin #121, which was a 3-bed, 2.5-bath unit. The cabin was clean and in great condition. It was nicely furnished and decorated. The couches and beds were comfortable and the kitchen was nice. Thermostat worked well as did the Internet Wi-Fi. Gas fireplace. Several board games, including Catch Phrase, were provided. Downstairs, in the unfinished basement, there was an air hockey table, pool table, and dart board. Then, of course, there was the covered outdoor hot tub, which several of us made good use of after a long day of skiiing. Probably my favorite part of the cabin, though, was TVs in almost every room and each had cable. My only significant complaint is that the cell phone service (for most major providers) was very bad. Most of the time, we had no signal. My other complaints are minor and mostly inconsequential. For example, the hot tub could have been hotter (we couldn't get it to go over 99 degrees). The dart board was missing darts and the provided DVD collection was a bit weak. Overall, however, I was pleased with our cabin and had a very good stay. Check-in and check-out were both a breeze. We checked in late and checked out late. This meant we never saw a single person at the Welcome Center. Instead, we used the drop boxes located outside the Welcome Center to pick up and return the key and forms. Pricing for the cabin was reasonable and the owner was accommodating to our late checkout time. The cabins are located near the top of a mountain, the base of which starts at Puncheon Fork Rd. The base to the top is a slow and windy 8-minute drive. The entire path is paved. If there is no inclement weather (snow/ice), a two-wheel drive car is fine. However, if there *is* inclement weather, a four-wheel drive car is necessary. In order to get to the Wolf Ridge Ski Resort, we had to drive down the mountain and back up another way. The drive from cabin to ski resort was about 15 minutes. Scenic Wolf Resort has a "lodge" though we never ventured inside to see what it offers. It looked dead the entire time we were there. There was also a heated, glass-enclosed, indoor swimming pool with water slide.

Scenic Wolf Resort's cabin was probably one of the nicest cabins I've stayed at. Most previous…read morecabins I stayed at were more rustic and barebones. The cabin at Wolf Creek was modern and nice. The cabin was large and we were able to fit 7 people no problem. The beds were comfortable; we had no trouble sleeping. Most bedrooms had their own TV with cable. They also had extra bed sheets in the closet. In the living room, we had a gas-log fireplace. That's cool because we didn't need to mess with getting firewood or need to start a fire. They also had a ton of DVDs and board games for our entertainment. The kitchen was fully stocked with utensils, pots, pans, bowls, plates, cups etc. The kitchen was quite nice. It provided lots of counter space to allow many cooks in the kitchen. The basement was unfinished though. It kind of took away from the whole experience. I think if they finished the basement, it would add a lot of value to the entire cabin. The basement had an air-hockey table, pool table, hot tub, and a dart board. However, since it was so cold in the basement and was unfinished, nobody wanted to go down there to play any of the games. Their WiFi was great. It was fast and had no trouble connecting. There is no cell service at our cabin. They do have a landline available in the master bedroom. So if you have to make an emergency call, you can use the landline. The bathrooms didn't have enough shampoos, soaps, or enough towels. I don't know if extra towels can be provided, but I wished they had more. If you want to come here, make sure to go to weather.com and check for ice or snow. You will need snow chains if you want to come here during snowy, icy times.
