The cabin was very well stocked with snacks, condiments/staples, and Kcups. Rooms were clean and spacious and outdoor space was awesome! We reached out to the owner regarding the hot tub water being low and he was very responsive, all we had to do was fill it a bit and it was good to go! A great rental in a beautiful area. We recommend Nantahala for rafting, kayaking, or zip lining. We had a great time spending the day there!

We only stayed one night but wish it could have been longer! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The host was welcoming and communicative, and the location was perfect — peaceful, yet close to everything.

This was THE BEST weekend getaway ever . We stayed to do the polar express with our three young boys . It was about 20 minutes away, also about 20 minutes from amazing kid-friendly hikes . Dons house was AMAZING. he had the whole place decorated for Christmas, which we were not expecting . The hot tub was a blast for the kids , and the morning coffee views from the back porch were over the top. In the morning , I’d sip my coffee , look at the mountain tops and watch woodpeckers zip past me Don was nice enough to give us early check in, as we were traveling about 6 hours to get there. This place was just the coolest experience . My kids have not stopped talking about it . Don’t hesitate, you won’t regret booking here .

Relaxing Getaway

It was a fabulous place for our getaway. The outdoor space was exceptional. The hot tub and views were spectacular. Even in the drizzly weather, we were able to enjoy the outdoors with the seating and games on the lower deck. There were thoughtful amenities inside and outside the cabin. The property manager was responsive and helpful.
