Me, and my daughter rented a cabin at Raven Rock Mountain. She was on HBL and we were visiting waterfalls in the area. The cabin looked cute, and I'm sure it would have been somewhat nicer in summer months to stay there. We went on 01/01/2025 and checked in at 5:00pm and we froze. The cabin was not insulated at all, and it had a see through glass garage door on the side. The wood burning stove to keep the cottage warm had to be loaded every 2 hours. If you choose to stay here set an alarm every 2 hours to load the burner with wood. Also no matter where you are in the cabin you can be seen by anybody outside and there is a few other places on Raven Mountain around the cottage we stayed in. They really should invest in pull down blinds. I felt very uncomfortable staying there. The following morning I messaged Jen at 10:00 and asked if she could shuttle us back down btw it's a half a mile hike to get to the cabin straight up hill and you can't drive up it in 2 wheel drive. She sent her grandson to pick us up at 11:00 and we left. I am thankful she was able to shuttle us but that isn't the case for everyone who stayed here. It depends on if her, her husband, or any family is at home. I explained in a message it was way too cold. She just said ok. We didn't stay the 2nd night and didn't get reimbursed for it either. I felt she could have been more kind considering we absolutely hated our stay and was only there for 18 hours. Me, and my daughter got about 2 hours away and I got a call from Airbnb asking if I smoked inside. I explained I did not but that I do smoke but did so outside the door. We rented the room while we were in town and had service. I explained we didn't have sheets because we lived 5 hours away she did give us some to take up with us. I found that odd that she couldn't provide sheets already on the bed for guests so make sure you bring your own sheets. My stay wasn't worth the $360.00 I spent. Also everything to cook with was outside and had not been touched in awhile all the silverware and dishes were very dirty. Also service on the mountain is patchy even though it says there is service up there. I was able to call my family back home to let them know I was safe and 15 seconds into the call it dropped the call and did so every time I attempted to call out. I would not recommend this place to anyone. There are other places in Pisgah National Forest and surrounding areas with way nicer cabins, and tree houses. I wouldn't stay in the tree house there. It is held up with old very skinny trees but to each their own. Hope this is helpful to someone! Have a blessed day!
