Super clean and recently updated property. Very spacious, plenty of room and super nice deck spaces to hang out and enjoy the woods. Very clean hottub and the fire pit area is a great gathering spot. The HOA grassy field and gazebo was an easy walk, the field next to the pond made for a fun afternoon of frisbee throwing and gathering. Highly recommended!

Come up for my oldest daughter's birthday and to take the kids on the Polar Express. Angie and Russell were extremely helpful with recommendations for the area. Property was amazing and clean. We had a wonderful time around the fire pit and kids really enjoyed the jacuzzi. Highly recommend staying at this property and we will definitely be back to stay. Thanks again for a memorable weekend.

Beautiful Family Cabin

Really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful cabin in quiet neighborhood & no scary roads to get there! Loved the upper deck, really felt like you were in the treetops. The game room & kids area was perfect, kids loved it. Also, the hot tub & fire pit got a lot of use. Great rental for family vacation.

Beautiful, cozy cabin

We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin has been beautifully updated and has a very warm, inviting feel to it on the inside. Also plenty of outdoor space to relax. Very clean all around. Quiet and tucked away but you are 28 in just a few minutes and close to Bryson, Tsali, Fontana. We had a great time.

Grands trip

What a fantastic place to stay with 5 grandchildren ranging from 8-17. The HOA grounds are wonderful & nicely maintained & safe for family fun. The property is centrally located with plenty to do in every direction. The hosts were wonderful in answering any requests. The home is perfect for family gatherings & even though the kitchen is small is very doable. Will come back again.

Our only issue was that we couldn’t stay longer! Our little family of five had plenty of room to have our own space, yet still feel close. We were far enough away from town to not feel crowded and close enough for our adventures out. The house was equipped as described with nice fluffy towels, easy to use TVs, and comfortable beds. The little caring touches throughout the house did not go unnoticed, soaps in all bathrooms, stairway gates, labeled switches, motion lights on stairs, supplies for making coffee (even the to go cups with lids), fall decor and excellent communication. If we venture back out we will surely reach out to rent again!

12/10 stay at this cabin! Our family travels 2-3 times a year and we always stay in a Vrbo/Air B&B. This has been our favorite so far because: The cabin: So well appointed. We always pack an emergency bag/tote of stuff that Vrbos seem never to have and we didn’t have to break into our emergency supplies this time. We had everything we needed and more! The cabin itself was so cozy and relaxing – we loved the hot tub and fire pit mostly, which made this such a relaxing trip. The Christmas decorations were such a nice touch over the holidays too.The neighborhood: Soooo quiet. Plus the common area with the lake was awesome to walk around and the boys got to do some fishing. We took walks every day and explored and just loved it. The communication: Most times we have to beg for info, but not this time. Wonderful, proactive communication that really went above and beyond, with suggested things to do in the area, driving directions, and so much more. 1000% will stay here the next time we are in the mountains – highly recommend staying here!!

Perfect mountain vacation

This property is amazing! There are plenty of beds, great spaces for kids. It comes well stocked. Great kitchen supplies and very comfortable beds. The host is awesome and responds right away. The back deck is amazing. Coffee on the back deck was my favorite. The kids used the hot tub quite a bit. The property is very clean and organized. The neighborhood is quiet and there is a fishing pond just down the road with a nice deck and benches. The area is perfect for those wanting to visit the Smokies, NOC, Bryson City area. I would absolutely stay here again.
