This little treasure featured some of the most hospitable hosts we've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Susan was extremely warm and pleasant and made sure we were well taken care of. The price was very fair and the location was well situated so that it was convenient to reach Grandfather Mountain to hike as well as SUPER close to linville vineyards. We plan to come back soon! read less

The cottage was so welcoming, from the twinkle lights on the front porch, well-equipped kitchen, and cute back deck where we relaxed most nights. The hosts we're so gracious, and the cottage was a great launching point for adventures in Linville Gorge and along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Would definitely recommend! read less

Winery and Falls just around the "corner!" Susan's place is centrally located to pretty much everything you need. In one day, we hit the Caverns in the morning, came back and had lunch, hiked to the Falls, hit the Mast General Store, and then the Winery and still time to come back and make dinner; all while not being rushed for time. Having the full kitchen saved so much money. I loved the carport since we were there while it rained. The landscape is beautifully maintained as well. The shower was hot with good water pressure. Nice soft, absorbent towels. We had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend away. We highly recommend. read less

Susan’s place was perfect for us! It was so close to the Blue Ridge Parkway. One day we drove our motorcycle to Blowing Rock and the next day to Asheville. After a busy day it was great to come back and relax on the porch with a cocktail. Susan and Daryl were so friendly and helpful! One night Susan even brought over some lasagna for us. The place was extremely clean and tastefully decorated. I highly recommend staying here. read less

We had a great weekend at the cottage near the Linville Falls/Linville Gorge Wilderness area. The cottage is not only a charming and nice stay, but its location is great to serve as the base point for several adventures and experiences in the area. We hiked trails on both sides of the Linville Gorge in the mornings, tasted wines in the Linville Falls Winery in the afternoons, enjoyed nice meals in the restaurants in Spruce Pine and Newland and watched beautiful sunsets from the Flat Rock on Blue Ridge Parkway. read less

Susan's responses were immediate. Communication was great, and she was very accommodating. Had many stories about the property to tell. The cabin was just what we needed. As Arnold S. would say, "We'll be back!" read less

If you are looking for a quiet get away this is the place. From the great location close to all the sights, the little country shops and restaurants to the soft sheets and beautiful outdoor sitting areas this is what a relaxing trip to the North Carolina mountains is all about. You will feel at peace at the Parrish retreat for sure.

My husband and I were looking for a weekend getaway and Susan's place was perfect! The cottage was perfect for the two of us and the location was great. It had everything we needed, full kitchen, TV, etc. The cottage was only 30seconds from the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway and only a short drive to neighboring cities, including Blowing Rock. There were a few restaurants just down the highway along with a general store in case you forget anything! We will definitely visit again!

The cabin was spotless, quaint and was perfectly situated to explore Linville Falls and the Gorge. It's only a hundred yards off the major road, but it is nestled with other cabins and a very nice residence. It's quiet, undisturbed and yet provides an air of security. The host assured everything was available in the cabin to meet cooking needs (if desired), clean linens/towels, lots of blankets for the cool mountain air; just everything needed to provide for an enjoyable stay.

Susan was an amazing host! Very communicative, had tons of recommendations for hikes and scenic overlooks in the area. The location is unmatched- right off of the blue ridge parkway. Very close to several hikes like Linville Falls, Hawksbill, etc. and to an apple orchard! We had a lovey time hiking, kayaking, and picking apples. We will definitely be back!

The cottage was in a perfect mountain setting with blooming rhododendrons. Susan’s husband Daryl was very friendly and helpful. We loved the “retro” feel in the cabin as well as the fire pit. It’s in a great location and very quiet at night. Internet connection is spotty, but that was a plus because it gave more time to enjoy each other and the surroundings. We definitely would like to return.

A cozy cabin in a beautiful setting. Special, welcoming touches - flowers, fresh eggs and snacks. Comfortable and clean, the perfect location. Would highly recommend.
