The property adjoins the beautiful US Forest Service land that extends to the lake. The hike to the lake is short, but steep enough to be a challenge to anyone with trouble walking. To any hiker, it's extremely easy. More challenging hiking abounds in the area.

A great stay for a trip to Blue Ridge! A very cozy cabin for a peaceful stay in the woods but also very close to downtown Blue Ridge. Cathy was a great host!

Overall, we had an amazing time at this cabin. It was super cozy, very quiet, and incredibly clean and well-stocked with everything we needed. The hosts were so friendly and accommodating, and their communication made the whole stay really easy and stress-free. We loved how private the cabin felt , it’s tucked away enough that you don’t feel like you’re in a neighborhood or right next to other houses. The hot tub was perfect and felt just as peaceful and secluded, which made it great for relaxing at the end of the day. The cabin truly felt like a little getaway spot where we could unwind, enjoy nature, and disconnect for a while. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and we would absolutely stay here again!

We had a great time at Cathy's Forest Retreat. The name is very accurate as it is definitely in the forest. We loved the scenery and relaxing in the sunroom. Cathy is an amazing host. She was proactive about everything and provided excellent directions to help avoid some very sharp turns on the way to the cabin. She even got us an ash bucket for the indoor wood fireplace, the same day.
