    We had a wonderful family vacation at this cabin. We enjoyed the hot tub, ping pong table, foosball table, kayaking on the river, making s’mores at the fire pit and making meals in the well stocked kitchen. Looked just like the pictures!

    Spacious, clean home nestled in a serene river valley at the base of the highest mountain east of the Mississippi. The house is comfortable enough to never want to leave, but convenient enough to so many fun things to do, you have to venture out. Ramble down the hill to kayak, fish or swim. A quick 20 minute deive to an easy hike in to a waterfall (roaring fork) with the kids. Both Biltmore and Grandfather are within an hour making for easy day trip outings.And Emerald

    We absolutely loved this house. Being able to walk down to the river was incredible. We spent a lot of afternoons fishing and spending time in the water. They even have tubes you can use! The large deck was great for grilling out after some time in the sun. The sleep number bed was also perfect for getting a great nights rest. I highly recommend this property!

    Excellent house - plenty of room for all. The balconies/patios are beautiful with views of the forest and you can see the river (and hear it). We loved the river - were down there every day. My dad, who is 80, was able to get down there....but it was not easy for him - it's pretty steep. The grill outside is awesome and permanently hooked to gas line (so no running out of gas). The kitchen is very nice and well stocked. Has 2 dishwashers (but one can't open fully because it hits the fridge). Would recommend and stay again!

    Great 4 days spent with two families. Kiddos loved the bunk room and all that the cabin had to offer. Check in and check out was super easy and house is great.

    Overall this worked well for our large group and we had a wonderful time! A few things we didn’t expect: dog poop on the grounds around the house which we cleaned up on arrival, lower level shower regularly turned ice cold during use, the sleeper sofa on the lower level was broken and “not for guest use” but the house is beautiful and clean and well-stocked. Maintenance was very responsive with communication. We loved the river and the hot tub and the bunk room and of course the kids wanted to live there forever!

    this was an excellent space for us, 3 families coming together - floor plan perfect (everybody had their own floor), huge table for dinners & family game nights, river is amazing with lots of amenities (kayaks, tubes, life jackets) - kids spent hours down on the river. Kitchen was well stocked and location'/view was amazing. great family vacation.
