We found the cabin to be clean, very well furnished and comfortable. It appears to be fairly new and everything worked just as it should. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing views!

Beautiful home with absolutely everything you need to relax and have fun! House was spotless upon arrival. Beds were comfy and kitchen was well stocked. Outside deck area was where we spent most of our time. Couldn’t ask for more! Takes a while to feel comfortable with the ride up to the house as road is narrow and steep, but totally worth the view!

We celebrated Christmas week in our cabin. We had such an amazing time! We were a short drive away to Gatlinburg and Asheville but we’re able to come back to the seclusion of our quiet cabin. We had a great family trip and can’t wait to book another experience in the future!

Girls Fall Trip 2021
Stayed 4 days ending November 2021
Overall satisfaction: Services from rental manager: Cleanliness: Location: Property condition:
Girls' weekend - Pulled up to the house we knew we were about to have an amazing time. The house is beautiful. The house, is very welcoming. There was a fresh bouquet of flowers on the counter. The house was just like the pictures show but more beautiful. The decor was lovely, they had these cute lights on the wall by the staircase made out of shovels, absolutely love them. It was the small details. Had 6 ladies in our group, we had plenty of space. There is a sofa sleeper and also plenty of room for air mattresses. We did cook a couple of days and we had plenty of room in the kitchen. The outside area became our favorite spot. Having the covered area made with a fireplace even better. Helped keep it warmer outside. There was also a sauna. (Added Bonus)Temps at night was in low 40's. The beds in every room were comfortable. The host Tom reached out to me a couple of times and replied back within mins of any questions. I can't say enough about the house and the location. If you have someone in your group that has a hard time walking up steps, this is not the place for them as there are steps. We had an amazing trip. Recommendations - Waynesville is very close and they have lots of cute shops. But most of them close at 5 or 5:30 pm. Looking for a dinner place nearby, Haywood's smokehouse - a 10! Bogarts - a 10! Breakfast The buttered Bisquit, a 10! If you don't mind driving about 45 mins to 1 hour, take some snacks or a picnic lunch, there are some beautiful hiking trails with waterfalls to see. Most of them were easy to moderate. (read up on them). One thing to keep in mind, the driveway. You do need a 4 wheel drive or a vehicle that can get you up a steep hill. There were lots of leaves that were falling and a little rain one night. it made the leaves slippery. We had to use our 4 wheel drive one time. I can go on & on how beautiful this house is. You will not regret renting this house. I will keep this house on my favorite list. I hope to revisit again!
