Amazing home

We stayed 4 days, it was not long enough! We enjoyed our stay so much. We especially enjoyed our visits with Maggie, she’s so sweet and entertaining. I hope we can make it back someday. Thanks so much.

Cute, cozy, clean and convenient!

We loved our stay. Our group ranged from 7 to 70 years of age, and everyone thoroughly loved this home. There was plenty of room, the house was stocked with high-end amenities and the outdoor fire pit area was fantastic. If you are planning a rafting trip with NOC or other near by rafting companies, you won’t find another house this nice or this convenient. I highly recommend this property!

Such a nice house

To start, cleanest house I’ve stayed in to date. So nice and well appointed house for what we needed. Kids had their own space, so did we and all of us were upstairs (very nice to be with the kids upstairs in separate rooms) and my In-laws down stairs. All furniture and kitchen items newer and had all we needed. I don’t know if I can say enough nice things, the owners were great and available at all times via text. The only thing I think is worth mentioning was the driveway was a tiny bit intimidating, it’s a nice gravel road but windy. By the 2nd day though, it was no problem at all and to be honest it’s the smoky mountains so most of the roads are windy so you get used to it, we live in flatter land so we were not accustomed to it but adjusted quickly. Would absolutely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Ray & Ann Converse

We have been married 41 years and have 3 adult children and 4 grandsons. We've been coming to this area since we married and honeymooned in the Smokies. Moving to the Smoky Mountains 6 years ago was a dream of ours and we always hated leaving when we'd travel. We enjoyed the mountains and activities so much that we finally made the move and have no regrets. We want others to enjoy their stay in the mountains as much as we always have.

Our three adult children and four grandsons all love visiting and exploring in the mountains. We do quite a bit of fishing and hiking with the boys, but they absolutely love tubing down Deep Creek. Whitewater rafting is one of our favorites and we recently went ziplining for the first time and will definitely do it again soon.

Why they chose this property

We built this vacation rental for others to discover nature, the mountains and just relax. We are located only 3 miles from Tsali for mountain biking, hiking and boating. Nantahala is only 3 miles for hiking, swimming, Whitewater rating, ziplining, kayaking, canoeing and The Rivers Edge restaurant.
Bryson City is a quick 10 miles for shopping, hiking, tubing, swimming and picnics at Deep Creek, and discovering three beautiful waterfalls. The Great Smoky Mountain Railroad offers different excursions during the year, but The Polar Express is a must with children. The Road to Nowhere is also in Bryson; great for hiking and horseback riding. Cherokee offers shopping, restaurants and Harrah's Casino, which is about 20 minutes up the road. There is a lot of history in Cherokee. Waynesville is a great city to visit with unique shops in the historic downtown district and also antiques. Waynesville is about a 40 mile ride. We want your stay to be enjoyable and will do all we can to accomplish a great visit.

What makes this property unique

We chose to build this vacation home on our property for others to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and serenity the mountains have to offer. You will never sleep better than in the mountains. Bonfires at night are a great way to enjoy each other's company, ghost stories and don't forget the s'mores. The home is secluded and you will feel like you're the only ones in the world while enjoying all the comforts of home.
