Inside, you can cozy up and chat by the fireplace, sit back and relax in the jetted tub, or play air-hockey with the kids. This cabin is yours to enjoy – stress-free.

The Appalachian Dream Cabin is just a few minutes from downtown Marion. It’s a quiet town where you'll find amazing local restaurants, wineries, coffee shops, and more — or you can take a scenic drive to nearby antique stores, snow tubing at Hawk’s Nest, and amazing mountain overlooks with snowy peaks.

Now this moment belongs to you.

These winter months fill up pretty quick, and for good reason. It has the peace, the quiet, the mountain views—and it’s all here for you.

Amazing time!

This cabin was absolutely breathtaking, and the views were even more breathtaking. The cabin was so clean, and had all the necessities in the kitchen and even for the wonderful grill outside. There was plenty of firewood available for the beautiful firepit outside. Any questions were very quickly answered by the owner. My family and I had the best time staying in this cabin. We will definitely be back!
