Small cabin in a beautiful location. It is only a short walk to the lake. It isnt fancy (no hot tub or game room). Perfect for small families looking to fish and just hang out.

The cabin was very cute and clean. A/C was advertised, but non-existent. The temperature was not bad, so it wasn’t a huge issue. Little things like creamer for coffee and salt and pepper would be a good addition to the kitchen. The outdoor fire pit was awesome. My biggest complaint is that we didn’t see the email about not using GPS until after we got up to the cabin and the GPS took us a dangerous way. This information needs to be on the description. For example, please say that the host will send you directions right on the description of the site. Once we knew the correct way to get up there, it was a safe and easy route. Overall, once we got settled in and had the correct directions up to the cabin, it was a great experience. Also, being close to the Nantahala Outdoor Center was a huge plus.

Terrible Booking

We booked a cabin, drove 5 hours there, arrived at 8:30 at night to find somebody staying in the cabin. We had to drive 30 min. back out for reception to call the host. She finally called us back and apologized and blamed it on the owner of the property. Our money was immediately refunded except for the insurance policy purchased. I am being told that I can't be compensated for my time lost and the gas spent driving.

Weekend in the mountains

Wonderful quiet retreat with a bubbling stream right by the cabin. Hubby fished in the small lake that was walking distance from the cabin. My favorite was the campfire at night by the stream. Everything except food was provided. We loved it and will be back again!

Frozen Perfect Getaway

Our trip was the best ever. Although it was the coldest weather we had been in, it was so exciting to see the ice in the river and the snow on the side of the roads to the cabin. The cabin was so cute and perfect. Everything was so pretty and the decor was perfect for the setting.

Picturesque Mountain Cabin

Great little remote cabin. Picturesque setting with creek burbling nearby. The cabin comes with all the basics plus WiFi and TV. The host is very responsive and attentive. I highly recommend if you're looking to get away and experience the smoky's. The trip up is from the valley puts you inside a painting. Really beautiful, pristine scenery.

Cozy cabin getaway

Very nice place! Only don’t go up or down the gravel road ! Always turn to the left when leaving the cabin! Somehow the way I followed the directions and our GPS took us up the gravel road when we arrived. An experience I will not soon forget. 😂. Overall had a good stay. Once I saw my Grandchildren all was well!!!

Such a peaceful spot!

We stayed here for a few nights in March 2022 and absolutely loved it. No problems with internet or house. Our dog was in heaven with the yard and stream on the property; you practically had to beg her to come instead. Follow owners driving directions and you will run parallel with the Nantahala River coming to/from cabin. Felt safe; cabin had everything needed. It can be hard to please a teen but this trip did; we talk about visiting again.

Beyond Our Expectations

The location of this little mountain gem is amazing!!!! You could here the steady stream of water as it moved down the stream - so beautiful. Sitting on the front porch we watched hummingbirds flying from tree to tree as if they were putting on a show just for us. Queens Creek is a short distance away for fishing. Going up and down the mountain was not a problem - sometimes deer were along the roadside. I could go on and on!!!We had a wonderful time and cannot wait to return. Thank you!!!!!!!!

Almost Heaven

If your looking peace and relaxation this place is it. Inside a gated community the cabin is pretty much too itself without neighbors under you. It is in the forest very peaceful. You will not have cellular signal, and I couldn't get wifi to do wifi calling, but there is a cordless phone in the cabin. We will definitely want to return here on another vacation. Highly recommend it. Note bring all you need, as the closest grocery store is about 35 mins away which isn't far. We came prepared.
