Beautiful, cozy cabin

We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin has been beautifully updated and has a very warm, inviting feel to it on the inside. Also plenty of outdoor space to relax. Very clean all around. Quiet and tucked away but you are 28 in just a few minutes and close to Bryson, Tsali, Fontana. We had a great time.

Perfect mountain vacation

This property is amazing! There are plenty of beds, great spaces for kids. It comes well stocked. Great kitchen supplies and very comfortable beds. The host is awesome and responds right away. The back deck is amazing. Coffee on the back deck was my favorite. The kids used the hot tub quite a bit. The property is very clean and organized. The neighborhood is quiet and there is a fishing pond just down the road with a nice deck and benches. The area is perfect for those wanting to visit the Smokies, NOC, Bryson City area. I would absolutely stay here again.

Grands trip

What a fantastic place to stay with 5 grandchildren ranging from 8-17. The HOA grounds are wonderful & nicely maintained & safe for family fun. The property is centrally located with plenty to do in every direction. The hosts were wonderful in answering any requests. The home is perfect for family gatherings & even though the kitchen is small is very doable. Will come back again.
