Such an excellent house and Tapoco was an excellent host. The 7 of us had plenty of room and the fire pit in the evening was wonderful. Honestly, I can't think of a single complaint.

Fun, relaxing property for groups

This property was amazing. It comfortably slept ten adults. The access to the river was even better than seen in the photos! For larger groups you will need to stock up on essentials but there is a grocery store 10 minutes down the road. There is a lot more in the area than one would think. Grocery stores, gas stations, etc are just a few mins away.

Great stay

Cabin is perfect. Roomy for 5 people. Easily roomy enough for up to 8 I would say. It's probably one of the best stays we have had in the area. Plenty of room for trucks, trailers and motorcycles. Beds were very comfortable and with 3 showers, more than enough for the fellers. Great fire pit in the back tops it off.

Best Cabin in the area

Our group regularly visits the area of Robbinsville for Tail of the Dragon events. This cabin is by far the best we have stayed at and always have it at the top of our choices when we are looking to book. It's close to Topoco Lodge and Deals Gap and just a few minutes away from town. Plenty of space to spread out and relax and enjoy the views.
