Had a great time in this nice cozy cabin. Was close enough to all of the hiking and other activities we were looking to do. Very easy and quick communication with the owners when needed.
Super cute property. The kids loved it! All the things you need. Host was very responsive as we had no power the first few hours due to a storm the night before, but all worked out.
I took my mom on a trip here as a “going away” gift since I am moving out of state. We were so impressed with the entire experience! Beautiful, relaxing, and so clean! 10/10 recommend (:
The Taoist was such a cozy place to discoonect! Private, quiet, well appointed, LIVE plants...everything you need to enjoy nature...when you are not "in" nature. The bed was SO comfortable and the two story windows were so amazing!
We weren’t able to stay for a weekend, but we were able to get away to celebrate our anniversary with an overnight trip. We checked in and immediately talked about how awesome the place and location was! After a hike and dinner, we came back for a quiet night around the campfire. Such a great place. We highly recommend
I couldn’t have picked a more perfect spot for our 20th anniversary trip. The drive to the cabin is probably the most steep incline I’ve ever driven, so mentally prepare yourself for that adventure. The cabin was perfect, clean and had everything we needed. While visiting, we enjoyed the skylight up the mountain and the hike down, the Nada tunnel and Toad’s Barn & Grill.
Very nice and relaxing! Has everything you need. Bathroom, shower, kitchen, 2 bedrooms. & small living room. Fire place. Would definitely stay there again. Make sure you have AWD vehicle to get to the location. Loved it.
This cabin was great. Very secluded and this one in particular was super private. The outdoor space was so peaceful. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was beautiful. It has pretty much everything you could ask for. Also they aren’t joking when they say you need four wheel drive. Overall a great experience.
My friend and I had an awesome time at the Taoist cabin for my birthday weekend. Everything was just as pictured and Michael is a very communicative host. A fire pit right off the porch gives the coziest feeling, and waking up to the sunrise through the large glass windows was so serene! Next time I go camping at the gorge I will 100% be revisiting this property!
Absolutely loved the scenery waking up in the morning. Sun rising directly out the bedroom window. We had an amazing time. Definitely need 4 wheel drive as the road to the property is steep and rough. Water did have a strong smell to it which I suppose is sulphur. Just running the sink would stink Up the entire cabin. But we had a great time regardless!
We had a great time! Fires in the firepit every night, great sleep, morning coffee in peaceful bliss, then off to hike. A great little place to unwind!
My wife and i was so amazed at our stay and so impressed we will be back in the future it was so beautiful and relaxing probably best place we ever stayed !!!!!!
What a perfect little cabin to enjoy while we attended our son’s wedding at neighboring Appalachian Rose Farm. Thank you for all the extra special touches you provided!
I can’t rave enough about this place!! Every single detail was just so perfect. From the responsive host, to the personalized touches, there was just so much beauty in everything. My husband and I couldn’t have asked for a more magical weekend in the woods with each other. Can’t wait to go back!!

Cleaning staff was in basketball shorts and no shoes or socks which was odd.
