"The property is wonderful. The cabin is clean and very well stocked. The bed is super comfortable and the view from the porch is amazing. The only issue we had was with parking on the steep slope...just didn't feel comfortable parking our vehicle at that angle so we went up a little higher and parked on a more level area. Aside from that it was a wonderful stay. The area is absolutely beautiful!"

"This place is simply magical!"

"My wife and I were looking for a place to have a quiet and secluded retreat to celebrate our 30th anniversary. This was the perfect place for just that! The location is very remote, yet also close to many hiking trails, and other outdoor activities. We went to dinner in Bryson City one evening, which was not too far away. The cabin is very clean and stocked with plenty of dishes, small appliances, linens, towels, blankets, etc. All major appliances were in great working condition. The TV's in the living areas and bedroom are hooked up with DirectTV, but they were rarely used as we spent most of the time on the porch soaking in the amazing views and listening to the chattering birds. The hot tub was in perfect working condition and was greatly appreciated after a morning of hiking and for an evening soak. We were nervous about the driveway at first based on other reviews, but our Odyssey minivan made it up with no problems. Put it in low gear, take it slow and easy, and enjoy the climb as it takes you deeper and deeper into the woods with a wonderful refuge at the top of the road. It was easy and fun each time we traversed it after that! It is difficult to put into words the feelings of isolation, peace and calm that we felt during our stay. We didn't want to leave and we definitely want to return. If you are looking for a place to escape the stress of everyday life and relax surrounded by nature’s peace and quiet, this is the place!"

"Super nice cabin, clean and had everything we needed. Would not hesitate to stay here again which is the best compliment!! Manager Tracy is really great at her job and on top of whatever small issues we had."

"We have loved this cabin and have stayed here many many times over the years however our recent visit was very disgusting. Mouse droppings were found on the dishes and later that night, we discovered a ton of large rat droppings beside our bed. We then realized that the very foul smell that permeated the cabin was rodent urine. It became very clear the cabin had a severe rat and mouse infestation. We then notified the host, who then confirmed there had been a large rodent infestation just weeks prior to our stay. But unfortunately, they have done very little to prepare the cabin after dealing with the infestation. Despite our fondness for this cabin, the new management company are currently doing a very poor job of cleaning and maintaining this property. And although we received a 75% refund and an offer for alternative accommodations, I must warn others about the severe infestation and the lack of proper cleaning. In fact it was confirmed by head of house keeping that the soft goods such as rugs, carpets and couch pillows have not been washed or shampooed since the infestation and I suspect the hard surfaces were only vacuumed at best. We have decided not to revisit until the property undergoes significant management improvements. I caution others to seek lodging elsewhere until these unresolved issues are addressed. The management's lack of interest in thorough cleaning raises doubts about their commitment to guest satisfaction."

"This property was perfect for our group of 7. Just a short drive to whitewater rafting in Bryson City, huge open kitchen for meals, and a great outdoor area for grilling/fires. The beds were even comfortable! My favorite part was the creek that wrapped around the house. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a private spot where you can entertain a small group. Cell phones do not get reception so plan to unplug for your stay. The host was very responsive when I had questions. Would definitely stay again."

"Loved this place. Very peaceful"

"The views were nice and the hot tub was clean and relaxing. We in enjoyed hanging out at the pond.Cabin was nice and clean."

"This cabin far exceeded all expectations! The property is private and has stunning views. The fire pit and decks and hot tub offer multiple outside areas to enjoy time together. The cabin is fully stocked with everything I needed, way more than most VRBO homes. While this was so peaceful and remote, it’s a very short drive from NOC and each day we enjoyed the activities around and on the Nantahala River, then a quick drive “home” for a little rest by the fire pit. I will be coming back again soon, this was a special place…"
