It’s 5 O’Clock Here-Waterfront Cabin w/Hot Tub! Pet Friendly, Blue Ridge Parkway
This cozy cabin is in a terrific location right off the Blue Ridge Parkway! The cabin had everything we needed - from a coffee maker to a hot tub! The morning sun on the pond was gorgeous. We took short trips to Chateau Morrisette and Mt. Airy, NC. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Time to Unwine-Waterfront Cabin w/Hot Tub! Pet Friendly! Blue Ridge Parkway
Check in was easy. The cabin was comfortable. The hot tub was not able to get above lukewarm. I would recommend getting rid of the rug in front of the kitchen sink because it’s a slipping hazard. Otherwise, everything was amazing.
