Very pleasant stay. Loved the kitchen and how stocked it was with cooking items. The only suggestion I have is the downstairs bed mattress needs to be changed out. It sags in the middle, making it difficult for 2 people to sleep in it.

We absolutely loved this home and location. We enjoyed the hike, the waterfalls, the views and the house was extremely comfortable. They have done a nice job of extending the deck making it another part of the house to enjoy the views.

We rented this beautiful home for the month of August. We enjoyed every minute of our stay there. The home was extremely well kept, comfortably furnished and very clean. There were so many comfortable areas to relax in throughout the house. The kitchen was wonderful, very well stocked with everything you would need for baking and cooking. I can't say enough about the beauty and comfort of the outdoor area as well. We sat outside on the porch every day and enjoyed the surrounding beauty of the trees and the relaxing sounds of the creek. Sally and Jerry, the property managers, were wonderful as well. Very responsive when I had a question and when I needed an extra item or two for the house. We loved it so much. We have already booked for next summer.

Fantastic location

House was better than described, and the location was phenomenal. Just minutes to everything in town, but also gave the feeling of being tucked away in the middle of the Nantahala national forest. We hope to come back and stay here again in the future.
