comfortable and cute

love the layout for 2 couples, with 2 bdrms and 2 bathrooms on opposite ends of the cabin. loading and unloading was a little tough with lots of steps, but doable. only real complaint was road to cabin very rough, lots of switchbacks and huge potholes, which made travel to and from cabin after dark impossible.

Hilltop Hideaway

The driveway to the place is very narrow so use caution when coming or going. When we arrived, the parking was clearly labeled but the entrance you think you would use is not the entrance you do use so that was a bit confusing. When you walk in, there were lights on and it was very inviting. Everything we needed for our stay was provided-towels, a bundle of firewood, hand soap, movies, internet, laundry detergent, dish soap and detergent etc. The beds were super comfy except for the master on the one side; as soon as you lay down, you sink into a hole so it could use replaced. Only other downfall to this property is it could use a deep clean; there was a lot of pet hair on the floor and baseboards. Other than those few things, this property is absolutely beautiful. I loved all the little touches to make it feel like home. Our kids loved roasting marshmallows over the fire while watching a movie in the beautiful living room. There are sliding glass doors everywhere so there was beautiful views surrounding you all over. The internet was just upgraded and it worked great!! I would definitely stay here again the next time we visit the area! Thank you for having us!

ONLY DOWN SIDES WAS THAT I WAS HOPING TO TAKE A LONG BATH AFTER NOT HAVING A TUB FOR 3-1/2 YRS, BUT THERE WAS NO PLUG. HAD TO USE A WASHCLOTH.

absolutely not

the pictures of the place are great, however not what it looks like, you are 15-30 feet to TWO diff houses up there, there’s not a private place on any part of the porch bc of the two neighboring houses…good stay but not all what it looks like, i wanted it for privacy, felt like there were eyes on me from every angle all throughout the house. makes creepy scary noises at night all throughout the house as well.

Breathe taking

This location was sooooo breathtaking. We love the view of the mountains surrounding us. Plus this location is smack dab in the middle of pretty much everything. From Nantahala River to Fontana Lake to the Great Smoky Mountains. I wish we could’ve stay more longer. I will definitely recommend this cabin to family members and friends 100%.

Fall getaway week

Love the property and location. Fully furnished with everything needed to enjoy a quiet week. The TV channels were non existent because the internet speed was too slow and no satellite TV provided. Plenty of DVD's were in the cabin. Access for elderly people was difficult with no railings on the steps.

Property could have been a bit more maintained and cleaned.

Spider webs and dead bugs in the corners. Internet was very intermittent. Could not enjoy a movie w/o it stopping. The deck was nice. Enjoyed the scenery. Absolutely loved the hiking trail near by. Lastly, bad smell coming thru the vents, had to burn candles to offset for it to go away.

Relaxing Fall week

The house was very clean and well stocked. We enjoyed the large deck and comfortable rocking chairs. The one lane mountain road inside the neighborhood gate was unnerving. Once we arrived at Hidden Adventures all was peaceful!

Adequate but awkward

It was described as having steps to access property but did not include fact that there were no handrails. Steps up the incline to house were very steep! Property was clean but had several repairs that need to be addressed.

nice cabin in the woods

quiet, secluded, in the woods. internet is slow, but it is all we needed to check in with the world and it is very helpful since cell service in the area is slim. yes, I would say 4 wheel or all wheel drive vehicle needed. the rock road into the mountain side is steep, and narrow. (but not out of the ordinary for this area) look up/down the hill to see if another vehicle is coming before you drive to help everyone have a better drive. house had all we needed to be happy. very much appreciated the laundry washer/dryer. beds were comfy. cooked with ease whole time we were there. grocery stores about 15 minutes away. good location for accessing the lake, trails and NOC.
