Thanksgiving weekend getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the cabin has all the essentials, easy access, level parking with an open expanse around the property. It’s close to great hiking in the Nantahala Forest- we enjoyed the fire place and hot tub to warm up after the hikes. Beds were comfy- we would definitely like to rerun here again. Great hosts!

Road trip to Nantahala Wedding

We had a fabulous stay at this perfectly situated cabin. Close to Bryson City Dragons Tail Franklin Murphy and Cherokee. The area offered myriads of day trips and our 5 days there barely touched all of the things to do.

Unable to sit outside because of barking, howling dogs. The view was not as depicted on website. Needed some safety features in bathrooms. Also, places to hang coats would have been helpful.

Awesome Cabin with great amenities

My family and I very much enjoyed our stay. The cabin was exactly as described. We have stayed at Nantahala several times so we are used to some of the disadvantages in the area. (No wifi or phone, very steep driveways, no central AC etc) We had NONE of those issues at this cabin! The wifi was excellent and very fast for the area. The phone provided worked great. And the cabin was fully equipped with a great hvac system. The property is beautiful and is really well kept. The grass in the yard is better than mine at home! The kids had space to run and play ball. In the evening they ran around chasing fireflies (I've never seen so many). We will definitely check this cabin first for our future trips!

Overall Great Place

Property was clean and well-maintained. Barbara was quick and easy to communicate with. Hot tub was nice and worked fine. I do have to say I wish there was some coffee, tea and basic spices in the kitchen. It’s a little off putting to see cabinets that are nailed shut and paper notes taped to the living room walls. The WiFi instructions in the email I was sent were wrong, and we had to look on the router to see what the internet password was. It would have been nice to see a list of things to do in the area as well. Also, some small shampoos and shower soap in the bathrooms as well as a hair drier would make the place completely up to par with other rental. Overall, the rental was excellent.

We had the best summer vacation here. The property itself offered so much from the hot tub, to the firepit, the sounds of the Nantahala River close by, exploring the property, enjoying all the fireflies at dusk was incredible and the night time stargazing show topped off every day. Location was also perfect, LakesEnd marina just minutes away, super fun family owned business with restaurant and water sport rentals we enjoyed it all. Nantahala Outdoor Center ( the NOC ) became the epicenter of our week, white water rafting, cornhole tournament, hiking the falls, restaurants and so much more. We also took the long drive to Gorge’s State Park to hike into Rainbow Falls and Turtle Back Falls, if you like the thrill of swimming and jumping in nature’s beauty, this is a must do adventure!The cabin has everything we needed, the two en-suite rooms were perfect, big kitchen & open floor plan made family time easy and fulfilling. There’s not an extensive amount of pots & pans but we were able to cook almost every night we were there, which was helpful because the restaurants all closed early. Basic spices in a cabinet but you’ll need to bring any foil, plastic wrap or leftover containers you might need. The host were very respectful of our time on their property and responded quickly to the only question we had.Highly recommend the house, property, location, activities and lifestyle the Nantahala area has to offer.

Nice Private cabin in the woods

The cabin is on it's own multiple acre lot and own entrance road. It is just off Wayah road, and the driveway is well maintained and although a bit steep, our low clearance Miata had no issue with the entry. It is an updated rustic cabin with top notch kitchen appliances (a pretty new kitchen remodel). We had no issues with missing any kitchen cooking or minor baking needs. Upstairs bed was a nice comfy pillow top and being a loft the bedroom felt very big. Some of the reviews mentioned barking dogs, we occasionally heard some, but were not bothered by it. We will be back.

Wedding Weekend

My best friend and I stayed here for a wedding located in Nantahala. We loved the home. I loved the kitchen since I was in charge of the wedding cake. Communication with owner was top-notch, after we mistakenly ended up in the wrong place. If we ever make it back to NC, we will definitely use this place again.
