Nice Property - Quiet Stay - 5 Stars

We enjoyed our short stay in Robbinsville at this clean, well-provisioned property. The view from the porch is nice and the creek behind the house was larger than expected. It is very quiet at night. The host worked closely with us to handle a special request and communications were excellent. We are looking forward to staying here again.

Motorcycle Friendly

This place was absolutely perfect. We came to ride the Tail of the Dragon. It was motorcycle friendly. The gravel driveway wasn’t bad since the gravel was packed down. Enough room for our truck and trailer. It is right beside Cherohala Skyway and about 20 mins from the Dragon. It was super clean and cozy. Also a plus that it was pet friendly. We definitely would stay here again. If there was a hot tub it would be even better.

So Serene!

This is the perfect place to get away and reset! The property is only 6 minutes from town, but has the most relaxing setting! It was perfect for two couples and our pup. We loved watching the sheep grazing in the distance every morning, and the creek that winds through the backyard just adds to the ambience. Rosie has many thoughtful touches throughout the home and made us feel very comfortable during our stay. I highly recommend this adorable property!

The property and facility with amenities is awesome; very clean, enough room for 7 people with 2 pets and excellent care and service by Rosie. The very well stocked coffee bar was worth a 1,000 points, because we arrived late and had no time to get the basic groceries before we got there, but what a great sight to see that Rosie had all the necessities ready for us. Thank you. We will stay again in the us place if we happen to be in the area overnight. Thank you for an awesome experience!
