Guest Comments... Here are a few comments from our wonderful guests! "We have had a lovely week here at 'Cabin in Hidden Hills.' It has been so relaxing and peaceful. Our children have really enjoyed themselves at the Beach at Lake Lure, Chimney Rock and horseback riding at the Riverbend Riding Stables. They also had a ball here in the gameroom. What a great idea! The cabin is so beautiful, we love the decor and the furniture. We really enjoyed 'getting back to nature.' Hope to come again soon!" The O'Shields Union, SC "Thanks for the use of your beautiful cabin. Our boys had a great time. We spent most of our days sight-seeing, but this was a great place to come back to in the evenings. Hope to come back again sometime!" The Melancons Thibadaux, LA "Dear Shelly and Ryan, Like all of your guests, we want to express our gratitude for the use of your beautiful for the use of your beautiful cabin. We had a wonderful and relaxing visit and we'll definitely be back!" The Martins Bradenton, FL "Dear Shelly and Ryan, Thank you for sharing your "little bit of heaven." We toured the Biltmore House and the Grove Park Inn. We enjoyed dining at the Biltmore Stables Restaurant and got a "Pignic Dinner" to go from the Cajun Pig. The rain did not dampen our spirits nor our memorable weekend. Much thanks and God Bless." The Puckhaber and Cribb families "Wow, how awesome is this? We loved the peace and quiet. Just what a couple of overworked moms need to unwind. This place is incredible! The furniture is great. We'll be back." Name withheld "Howdy! Whatta place - what peace - thanks." Steff Adams "Great place, Shelly and Ryan! Thanks again for the chance to stay here. Like other comments before, it's a great place to come back to after a day of adventure. I'll (we'll) also echo the sentiments on your neighbor. Wonderful man! We thoroughly enjoyed: Chimnney Rock Park. We even hiked the top trail with my 3-year old walking and my 1-year old on my back. Boat cruise on Lake Lure. Grandfather Mountain. Thanks again, we loved it!" Joe, Rose and kids Wellington, FL "We had a great week at your cabin! Everything was very nice. Loved sitting on the deck in the swing just relaxing. We hiked around the property and saw a couple of deer. The dogwoods at your cabin are starting to bloom and will be just gorgeous in a few more days - wish we could stay long enough to see them. We went to Lake Lure and Chimney Rock and did some hiking there. Also took our son to the nearby gem-mining place where he hunted for gems and fossils. He loved it! On our last day we drove up to Blowing Rock and stopped at Linville Caverns on the way. My son fished a while for trout, neat place. Had a great lunch at the Canyons restaurant and then finally drove back to the cabin. What a nice place to return to after a long day of sightseeing. It is so peaceful and beautiful here. My son says we'll definitely be back! He loved it here. We all had a great time.! Thanks for sharing your cabin with us!" Jeff, Lynn and Ian B. Melbourne Beach, FL "Thank you for the use of your cabin. We had a wonderful time and the boys (ages 3 and 4 years) enjoyed the game room, watching the deer and the wild turkeys, especially the Tom. We visited Chimney Rock Park where the boys loved the idea of 'climbing a mountain.' The height was a challenge for me (wife) but overall I'd say that we had a good day despite the rain. We both look forward to future visits. Thank you again for helping us have a much needed family retreat!" The Harrisons Camp Lejuene, NC "We loved our visit to your beautiful log cabin. Thanks so much for the baby gates - we have a toddler with us and blocking off the stairways was a life-saver. Thanks for your hospitality from Florida!" The Wagenfeuhrs Columbus, OH "Thank you for opening your beautiful cabin to us. It was the ideal place to get away and relax. We enjoyed taking in the views and exploring. The game room is an excellent idea. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Hope to visit again soon. Thank you!" Julie R. and Andy R. "Ryan and Shelly, thank you so very much for letting me come to your beautiful cabin. It has been heaven. We got six inches of snow but it was the most beautiful sight I have ever seen. I have had so much fun and met some wonderful people. I hope to return in May or June. Thank you again!" Lisa W. Columbus, OH "Thank you for making your lovely cabin available to us! We had a wonderfully relaxing visit and we look forward to returning. We enjoyed the scenery, pool table, wood stove and of course, the peaceful surroundings and comfortable furnishings. Thank you!" Sonia and Alex Representing Duke and Berkely Universities "We are so glad we found you on the internet. Coming up here is just what the doctor ordered! The peace and quiet that surrounded us was soothing to both body and mind. How refreshing it was to be out of South Florida for the holidays. This morning's outside temperature was 22 degrees, then warming up to a perfect 45 degrees. The accomodations you provided exceeded our expectations by far. Your furnishings are quite unique. I wish we would have had time to visit the stores that made them. Maybe next time! The little 'added touches' here and there didn't go unnoticed. Jerry and our three daughters have never seen mountains before so you can imagine how much it meant to us to be able to walk out on the deck and admire them whenever we wanted to. One morning my 8-year-old and I were on the deck and saw three deer in the woods, what a moment to share with her! It was so fun to see them marching through the leaves. We had a blast picking up different colored and shaped cones, since we can't do this in Florida. Without the light pollution of the big city, we were able to see all the stars! We'd forgotten how many there are! This cabin is absolutely absolutely beautiful! We have never stayed in a log cabin before. We like the country comfort of it all. It's been years since my husband and I played pool. What a treat! Thank you again for a nice country Christmas and thank you for the memories. A good time was had by all." Susan and Jerry M. (and three kids) Jupiter, FL "We had a great visit. Cabin is better than we could have hoped. Weather was ideal - cold (20's-40's) and clear (incredible stars) but a little windy at the end. The wood stove got a good workout. Enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner at the Woodfield Inn in Flat Rock. Staggering buffet (prime rib, turkey, ham, salmon, duck, homemade rolls, salad, more) in an historic setting. We way way too much. We tried to hike all that food off Friday, at John's Rock & Cat Gap, near the Davidson R. campgrounds in Pisgah National Forest, west of Hendersonville. Perfect day, nice trails. Dinner in Hendersonville, and then the Mast General Store, of course. Saturday was warmer, so we headed up to Mt. Mitchell. Breathtaking. Clearest views I've ever seen up there. Hiked to Mt. Craig and back, then made our way to Black Mountain for dinner, etc. Enjoyed billiards and video games. Andrew (age 15) checked out your DVDs and CDs and decreed that "They have pretty good taste." Meg (age 10) liked the wooden game set and Scattergories. Loved the cabin, furnishings, little touches... thanks alot, and I know some other folks who'd be interested in visiting here." The Brysons Durham, NC "Thanks for the much needed weekend retreat. The beautiful scenery and serene environment did wonders for our tired minds and bodies. We all loved your enormous deck and spent of our time on it listening to birds and the acorns fall on the tin roof. The weekend was filled with peaceful surprises. All of us felt rested, yes surprisingly alive. We leave here in hopes of returning one day to once again partake in an unbelievable gathering of heart and soul. Thank you again!" Jeff, Beth, and Carissa M. Waxhaw, NC "Thanks for letting us enjoy your wonderful cabin. We loved the openness, and all the room. Much of our vacation was spent away from the cabin, as we explored the roads near and far. Chimney Rock was a special treat as we hiked all day. Hendersonville and Waynesville were so nice to explore, as was Asheville. We had a great time, took lots of pictures and will be sure to tell our friends." Bob and Barbara W. Lowell, MA "Dear Ryan and Shelly: we enjoyed your cabin these few days. Solid rain about every day that we were here but it was enjoyable - especially listening to the rain on the tin roof. I needed a vacation away from everything - this was perfect. My seventeen year old son taught me how to play pool (it was entertaining itself just to watch me). It was wonderful to spend quality time with my son in this beautiful log cabin. We spent relaxing moments watching DVDs together. We had a cookout with two other couples that we were close to when living in NC - nothin' like good food and great friends. Your neighbor stopped by and called often. He was so nice and helpful. He is the ideal neighbor to have. The leaves are at the peak now - the air smells so good with the fresh rain. Jeremiah (my son) and I did the tour on Lake Lure (highly recommended). We also had dinner at Laura's House (by Chimney Park entrance) - they have a great country home-style layout. Thanks again for sharing your log cabin! P.S. Love your decor!" Karri Ada and Jeremiah R. Cheyenne, WY "Super place! So big and open. Washer and dryer were so helpful! Wish we were here a couple weeks later to enjoy leaves and cool weather. Ryan and Shelly, thank you. What a great place!" The Prosheks Tampa, FL "We love the cabin, our kids were thrilled with the squirrels and acorns. We kept everything as it was - even left a few groceries for the next visitors. Thank you for the child gate - that was so reassuring. Thanks for sharing your cabin." The Murdocks Charleston, SC "We had a great time. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us. To all those who come after us please feed the squirrels, birds, deer, and of course the ground hog!" Cheryl and Jimmy W. Cordova, NC "Your cabin is just great! It is so nice and quiet here - just what we needed. Lots of things to do in the area. We had fun! Thank you, Shelly and Ryan, for the use of your cabin. We will tell our friends all about it and I'm sure they will want to visit." Frank and Evy Forquor Daytona Beach, FL "Shelly, I just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay at your cabin. You and Ryan have a beautiful place. We would definitely like to go back sometime soon. Word of mouth is a great marketing tool and we will surely be doing some marketing for you. Thank you for everything!!!" -C. Beall Columbia, SC "It's our last day and we are so very sad to that it is time to go. What a fabulous time we have had here in Hickory Nut Gorge! We made it to Larkin's for the boat parade Saturday night. The restaurant was booked so we ate down in the bar. The food was good and the boat parade was fun to watch. After dinner we drove down to the 'beach' and caught the fireworks, which were very impressive! We have had such a great time at the cabin. It is a beautiful vacation getaway with tons of stuff to do. We hiked all over the property. We played pool every night until the sun came up. (I'm exaggerating, but close. :)) We cooked almost every night and enjoyed the late evenings. To sum it all up we LOVE it and hope to return next year. Your neighbor was so very sweet to us our first morning here. We wish we would have had more time to spend with him, but we plan on seeing him again. In finishing, I want to thank you for sharing your beautiful place with us and we hope to meet you both sometime in the future!" -K. Noel "Thanks so much for the use of your lovely home in the hills. Our stay was a great adventure! So many places to go and things to do. It was impossible to get it all in. We will definitely be back! The cabin was even more beautiful than we expected and was a great place to return to at the end of a busy day of exploring. We will be sharing our impressions with all of our friends." -D. and P. Waters Tallahassee, FL "Ryan and Shelly: I just wanted to thank you both for providing us with the perfect place to spend our summer vacation! The cabin is exquisite; the weather was perfect, and if we had been more relaxed we wouldn't have had pulses. The girls had a wonderful time in your gameroom and visiting Lake Lure, while my husband and I enjoyed a few romantic nights swinging on the porch. Thank you for allowing us to experience your piece of heaven!! We look forward to visiting again! " -Barbara & Gary Bennett (and girls) Orange City, Florida "The cabin provided us the much needed space and privacy we'd been looking for... the place is gorgeous. We're looking forward to a return visit soon." -Eric and Kirsten Raymond DeLand, Florida "Thank you Shelly and Ryan for letting us enjoy the wonders of your lovely cabin. It was relaxing and peaceful. We also enjoyed your great game room, where my husband taught me how to play pool for the first time. We hope to be able to come back soon, this is the best place to get away and relax. Thanks again, Shelly and Ryan. Also we left a wooden game puzzle for your guests to enjoy trying to figure out. I would like to let your guests know some of the things we did while here. We went and saw Chimney Rock which was great, you will really enjoy it. We also went and saw Linville Falls which was just beautiful. It's a 'have-to-see.' Also while at Linville Falls you must see the Linville Caverns, too. We really wanted to see Grandfather Mountain but when we got there it was too foggy to see, so we plan to see it next time. We also went sight-seeing at Lake Lure and shopping in all their little shops. It was great over all!" -Tom and Janine Ash Daytona Beach, Florida
