JoeRating, 5 stars4 days 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.

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.
