Diane’s dream was so comfy and quiet! We so enjoyed the solitude of our visit to the mountains. The house is decorated perfectly and the beds are very comfortable! We would definitely like to stay at Diane’s Dream in the future. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Weekend getaway
The stay at Diane's place this weekend is just what we needed! It is so quiet and serene sitting out on the wrap around porch listening to the creek. We enjoyed morning walks around the property taking in the beautiful fall air. The cabin is just as described and we had plenty of amenities to make nice meals and relax at the cabin. We will definitely stay here again.

Best Vrbo I have stayed at
We often travel for work and as a result stay at many Vrbo properties.. Ingles is one of our customers and we came to work the week of July 4th. this was by far the most pleasant stay I have had.. Clean, everything provided and well kept. At one point late night the power went out in a wind storm and a back up generator provided power for a short time.. love this place and would highly recommend!! Thanks

Home away from home
Thank you so much for opening your home to us. We had such a relaxing time there. We sat on the porch and watched the deer walk across the yard, and listened to a woodpecker in a nearby tree. The leaves were absolutely amazing. I will be recommending this cabin for sure!!!
