Awesome Views, very clean and a nice hot tub!

The views are fantastic and the hot tub was excellent. Kitchen is well stocked and everything was very clean. FYI there is a few hundred feet of gravel before you get to the driveway. We would definately stay here again!

Delightful stay

We arrived late into the night on the date of our check-in, and were pleasantly reaffirmed that we made the right choice in our booking decision. Everything was neatly organized and conveniently labeled, leaving no real-time questions unanswered, and for any questions that did come up over the course of the weekend, the host was quick to respond. Further, everything was immaculately clean upon our arrival. This home was cozy, warm, and welcoming, and the mountain view from the deck was breathtaking. Highly recommended!

Amazing View

Beautiful home and amazing view. There was no hot water due to the filter being clogged. The owner was contacted Saturday but did not get someone there to repair until Sunday at 9:00 the day of check out. We had to leave for airport. My husband fortunately was able to clean it Saturday evening to provide my visitors with hot water before they left.

North Carolina getaway

This house was wonderful in every respect, but the view was so spectacular it made it very hard to leave the porch. The property manager, Heather, was the very best we have ever had at a VBRO stay. Extremely quick with responses to inquiries and very helpful in every way. And Waynesville and the entire surrounding area was a joy to explore!

Amazing house with quiet views

The Tuckaway house is just that. Tucked away, nestled in the woods with great views, tons of hummingbirds, silence, and a well stocked, clean home. Very comfortable furniture and all the amenities you can think of. Definitely our top choice in the area. Close enough to pretty much everything you want to see. Thank you for a great property!

Relax, refresh & regroup

We traveled from the triple digits of summertime heat in central Texas, picked up our daughter from the panhandle of warm and humid Florida to spend some time together in a cooler new area (temperature & adventure). We were drawn to this home by the mountain views from the photos, it's proximity to walking/hiking trails, and being pet welcoming of our two well behaved/kennel trained labradors. This home proved to be a great choice for us. It was well stocked with kitchen utensils to cook breakfast, lunch or dinner. A washer and dryer and TV's in every room. It's the little touches of labeling the light switches so you know which one you need. Even though we were a small group of three, it was a perfect size home to be together or room to spread out. Spending three nights here gave us time to relax, refresh and regroup before heading back to the daily grind of life. Thanks The Bradleys

Family Vacation in Smokey Mountains

Visited with family of five for vacation. House is high enough on Utah Mountain for great views off deck but not so high that it takes forever to drive up/down. The house had plenty of space and sleeping options to keep everyone happy. We also loved the location. It sits roughly between entrance to park and Asheville. The house was clean and easy to check in/out. I would recommend it and stay again.

Beautiful home with long-range views!

The reviews here do not lie... We found everything to be as pleasant as described! The mountain climb was high but the roads up were excellent and GPS had no trouble getting us right to it... We loved the coffee filters and baggies/foil/etc. that were offered, and a great mix of adult and kid (plastic) dish ware. We did lose power for a few hours due to high winds (just beware that it can happen) and the hot tub did not warm up for our first two days, but the owner was able to walk us through a code sequence to reset the heater. Also beware that the garage is on the lowest level, so there are steep steps up to the porch outside or the main level inside from the walkout basement, which could make suitcase hauling difficult for some. The double-decker decks with great rocking chairs is where we spent most of our time in the day-long sunshine. Proximity to Waynesville and Maggie Valley were perfect... about a 20 min drive to everything you could want/need. Would rent this property in a heartbeat again!

About the host

Hosted by Scott and Heather Williamson

Host profile image
Dustin, Allison, and their son Carson, live and work in Key West, Florida. Dustin is and an Attorney, Allison is a teacher, and Carson is an on-the-go two year old! In their spare time, they enjoy all manner of outdoor activities. It is that love of the outdoors that led them to begin vacationing in the Waynesville/Asheville area a few years ago. After hiking together as a family to waterfalls in the Pisgah National Forest, hiking throughout the Great Smokey Mountains National Park, and just relaxing on the deck taking in the mountain views, they realized what a special spot this was and decided to put down root in the area.
