5 King Suites, Hot Tub, Mountain Views

The cabin was perfect for my family ranging in ages from 10-75. It’s well stocked with dishes, silverware, pans… AND the view is incredible. The cabin was very clean. The owner is very responsive and ready to help with anything that you need. We spent our evenings hanging out on the deck enjoying the view. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend if you are looking for a place with a great view and lots of wildlife.

The cabin is awesome clean and spacious. Beautiful views. But the road to get to the cabin is terrible and the trees have grown out in the road so they drag the sides of your car.

1) Road was described as country road with potholes. The gravel road portions were filled with potholes and on the hills were more like moguls than potholes very narrow and single car width. Also many areas of the road had vegetation, tree branches came into the road and scratched the sides, top of our vehicles. Twice when I was going down the road I came across someone coming up and had to back up the road hill to a point where I could get over far enough to let them by, in the dark, forget it.. 2) One AC system wasnt working and it was for the top level, quite hot. Temperature regulation was non-existent it was a 15 degree difference from the top level to the basement which was like a cooler. 3) Hot tub was slimy and the water was green. 4) Front windows looking out over the mountains, all seals were broken and there wasnt a clear clean window to look out of. On top of it, no effort was made to even clean the inside of the windows as there were little sticky globs all over 2 of the windows from a previous guest who used it to hold something up. 5) A fair amount of rotten boards on the front porch both rear decks which were coming apart was a surprise. Also lost count of the popped deck nails on the rear decks which caught our feet, shoes all the time and many lifted deck boards as well that caught our feet, shoes on. Just those alone are a big safety concern. 6) Four forks in the cutlery drawer, four, thats it. I could go on but there isnt enough space.

Property is very secluded, about 20 minutes from Parkway. There was a swimming hole anout 15 minutes away the kids really enjoyed. Cabin was very clean, we seen a single bear and then a mama bear and cubs were there. FYI they will climb the back deck to get to the grill. Would definitely stay here again.

This property was exactly as advertised! It is clear they have professional cleaners in before your stay. The road going up was slightly washed out due to some rain, but this was warned about. Recommend AWD to get up there. Also some small critters in the cabin, but that was also warned about. So everything was as advertised and it made a wonderful place for my family and myself! Had two communications with the host throughout and they were timely and very helpful. We had a small issue with the air conditioning and the host had a technician out within 4 hours! Incredible host, incredible place, I recommend anyone to book this place!

This cabin is massive, and beautiful from the road. But, there were multiple issues. Hot tub was only 2/3 filled with water. 3 inch layer of scum around the edges, and water so dirty, it was hard to see the bottom. The basement was damp, and dirty. Over spray of stain on the satellite dishes made TV and Internet very spotty. Scorpions and millipedes were on every hard surface (tile) in the house. We looked past that as we realized being in the woods, there would be some bugs. However, what we discovered on 2nd night after the sun went down was an absolute infestation of German Roaches'. They were pouring from every crevice in the kitchen. This was not an oversight, or an unknown problem. I find it impossible to believe that no one knew of this infestation. They were impossible to miss. I don't mean to harp on this issue, but we had a large group, and we brought hundreds of dollars in groceries that we had to throw out. Add that to the fact that we now had to eat out for every meal, and the food loss coupled with added meal cost was the same amount as we paid for the cabin for the week! It also added tension, we couldn't rest until we checked for bedbugs. We found none, but who knows for sure? The views from the balcony are the ONLY thing that kept this from being a 1 star review. It is dirty, ran down, and infested with German Roaches. Host was sympathetic, but claimed no knowledge of the issue. However, 0 reviews from 2024 seems odd for an infestation this obvious.

Way better than we thought it could be. Awesome view from the deck!!! Had an amazing time. We even got to see a Bear!!

The house was just as described. Spacious with plenty of room for the whole family. The only problem was the millipede infestation. We would vacuum and sweep every morning and by the next morning they were back. The ground level floor was the worst. Be prepared for an adventure on the road to the cabin. It is two miles of one lane, extremely graveled road with many pot holes and wash outs. Our suburbans made it but would not recommend any low clearance cars. The scenery was gorgeous and sitting on the porch was breathe taking. All in all it was a great stay.

Mid-May; during a long road trip, my dog & I stayed at this beautiful cabin instead of a hotel. Loved it! It was peaceful, quiet, & private. Lots of trees but none obstructed the awesome mountain view or of Wears Valley which is down low. Property is exactly as described & photos are accurate. Cabin was clean. All 5 bedrooms are BIG and have their own bathroom. Only issue: I was unable to sit on the back deck due to carpenter bees which are common in the mountains. I would confirm w/Helen that pest control treated the area prior to your arrival. Prepare for off-road adventure. The road between the mountain and cabin is ~2 miles of mostly unleveled gravel road. Rocks kick up & your vehicle will get dusty. A few areas were very steep & I hoped my AWD Tesla could do it. No problem at all. Not the case for a pickup truck that got stuck in a ditch. But, hey, you want a true mountain experience, this is it. Helen replied to my messages immediately. Booking, check-in & check-out was simple. No ridiculously long list of rules or contract to sign. Just be respectful & leave dirty dishes in dishwasher :-) In my opinion, this is not for kids who need entertainment. No backyard, pool, swing set, etc. Overall, I’m glad I stayed there and will consider it for future :-)

It was a great experience. Just verify you will not have an issue with the road leading to the property. Recommend arriving during the daylight.
