Beautiful Views

We picked this for the view and it really delivered! There’s a cute little bar/seating area overlooking the mountains and next to the hot tub - which is perfect. The property was clean and well maintained, and we loved the fire pit. We had a great time getting away, and it’s so close to the Nantahala Outdoor Center (under 5 min), which was great for grabbing a meal or a drink and sitting by the river. We hope to return!

Perfection

Everything was perfect. Owner super nice and responsive to questions. The scenery was beautiful. Leaves were at peak color. House was well supplied and clean. We used the fireplace every night. Super place to relax. One thing we liked was the house wasn’t over the top with tacky nicknacks like most of the previous places we’ve stayed at. The porch was the perfect place to relax and take in the mountain views. This cabin just became our favorite and we are looking forward to returning asap.

Wonderful

Great location. Cozy and well-equipped, enjoyed using the provided firewood as well. Sad to leave but we will be back with our sweet dog. :)

Birthday getaway to go to NOC

I was told upon arrival that there had been a renter there before us for multiple months and had trashed the place. Under those circumstances I think the cleaning crew did a great job cleaning the hot tub and providing linens by the time we got there. The issues that we had during our stay were noted to the owners and I’m sure will be fixed for the future. The location is very convient to NOC and Bryson city. We were not in a 4x4 vehicle but I would recommended one if you stay here as it is way up on a mountain on all gravel roads. The twin beds were not comfortable at all and the bedroom carpet should be replaced as it is not in the best shape. Other than that the view was beautiful, fire pit area very relaxing, and kitchen is spacious.

Spring break get away

We've stayed at this cabin multiple times and know what to expect, always clean, great location to Bryson City or Nantahala outdoor center. The outdoor space is great, we can either enjoy a great view from the deck or hang out by the fire pit. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
