    Beautiful, peaceful, secluded property off the beaten path but still within a short drive to everything. Loved the kitchen. Comfortable beds. Plenty of space in each room for all your things and be able to move around without feeling cramped. Wonderful view of surrounding nature from both inside through large windows and outside from huge covered deck. Everything was as described and provided a much needed escape from our daily lives to unwind and relax. Thank you for sharing with us!

    A perfect elevation hideaway! We watched humming birds by day and lightning bugs at night! Coffee in the clouds! Thank you for being pup friendly.

    Loved the grounds and privacy of the cabin. Great central location to activities in the area. The interior is a dated but the space is phenomenal. Lots of room for large groups. Would absolutely return as a guest. The host was exceptional and quick to help.

    Our family had a great time. Lots of places to visit like.... Dillsboro, Silva, Franklin, Bryson city, National forest, and Highland. Kids had fun at the gem mines, parks, train museum, and fishing. Adults liked the shopping, especially the Christmas shop, many good places to eat, and loved the boiled peanuts! The road to nowhere is a must to see! The property manager was excellent and respond promptly.

    The cabin is well appointed and comfortable. It was wonderful to be able to walk out the door and take a quiet, peaceful walk to a mountain stream. We look forward to another visit. The host is wonderful and communicates regularly. Loved it!!
