Everything was perfect! We enjoyed a week of rest and relaxation. The kids enjoyed the hot tub and scooting down the driveway on their scooters. We will be back.

Loved the house

The house met our expectations. Good location, cleanliness, and assistance from property manager. The only negative was the master bathroom. It had a jet tub with a hand held shower. It was a little difficult to use because I had a fractured back and it was difficult for me to get in and out of the tall tub. For a younger person it might have been much easier. But overall, I would give it an excellent rating.

Home for everyone

This home is for everyone, the view can't be imagined. It has so many bedrooms and bathrooms, and space we loved. Half wrap around porch with rocking chairs, swing, picnic table, hot tub. It truly is a wonderful place, as for the inside cleanliness, spotless. The cleaning crew does an amazing job. As for the outside, the owners need to have a cleaning crew come out and get the dead bugs off the porch and get rid of some of the many spider webs. But, all in all this place truly is amazing. We would love to come back in the future.

Short vacation trip

We were very pleased with this rental. Kitchen well stocked with cooking utensils, appliances, dishes. Loved rocking chairs and swing on the front deck. Didn’t use the firepit but wood was supplied. Only complaint was the bed/mattress was in 2nd downstairs bedroom creaked every time you turned or got up. Overall a nice few days!

Nice house

We were a party of 8. We brought a single air mattress to make the sleeping arrangement work. The location was nice for Deep Creek, Bryson City, and Nantahala. The pictures of the place are all spot-on. One of the bathrooms only has a tub, so there are only 2 showers. The two single beds are in the open loft, so if you put little ones there it is quite time for the rest of the house. I definitely recommend the place.

This cabin is awesome. The views are amazing. Having the hot tub to relax in after a day of exploring the area was a huge plus. Everything you would need to be comfortable is in the cabin. Very homey. My only complaint would be the driveway. It’s extremely steep. You definitely need a 4x4 to get up it. That being said, we would definitely come here again if we were in the area.
