This cabin was just exactly what we were looking for! It has an incredible view of the mountains and has everything you need to relax and unwind. From the rocking chairs on the front patio overlooking the gorgeous views, to the spacious living room, the hot tub and the fire pit, this place was perfect.

Great little Cabin!

Great find. A few amenities need a little TLC and the linen could be fresher but everything was clean and the cabin is a nice quaint find for a small group of adults. Nicely located close to Bryson City, Cherokee, and Maggie Valley as well as the Parkway.

Heaven on Earth

We needed to disappear for a few days and this was EXACTLY what we needed. You can’t beat the view and proximity to hiking. It was also close enough to town if anything was needed, but you feel just about like you’re the only people on earth at the cabin itself. Lastly, GREAT host communication.

Breath of fresh air

Lovely cabin with everything we could need, and then some. It was easy to get back into town for dining, and to Cherokee for sightseeing. The road up to the could be daunting at first, and I wouldn't want to go up after dark for the first time, but we had no issue in daytime.The view from the front porch rocking chairs is worth the trip in itself. There is lots of space for a family to be comfortable here, enjoying the amenities and privacy.

Relaxing cabin in the woods

Very nice! We enjoyed our stay. They provided propane for the gas grill, even had firewood for the firepit. Gas fire logs inside. They provide everything you need including regular coffee pot and a pod coffee pot. Definitely recommend watching the YouTube video the owner provides to get up to the cabin because the driveway is a little tricky.
