Secluded Modern Cabin. Mountain Views! #wncstrong

We're so happy to be hosting again post Hurricane Helene! This home was NOT damaged by Helene, but our road took a beating. More than 1,000 miles of WNC roads had extensive damage in the storm. NC-9 that leads to our property and our gravel road experienced major landslides. The roads are passable by all types of vehicles, but are still regularly under construction. It may take years for all of the roads to be repaired and we thank you for your grace and patience as we rebuild. #wncstrong ♥️
