Good time with the family

Over all it was good for a group of 10, 6 adults & 4 children. It was great for the four kids, 9, 10, 11, 12, Bunk beds, pool table and tv all in one room. The main level was good area for adults to socialize. The dining room table was large enough for everyone to eat at the same table. There was some minor issues with water pressure. It rained a lot during our week stay so if I sound a bit negative it has very little to do with the property. All my dealings with the property management was very pleasant. I did not go to any of property common areas but the family members that did visit them seemed to enjoy the areas. I would consider using this property again if we were to go to that area again.

Christmas Vacation

Wonderful cabin with a few exceptions….We came the coldest days of the year. Water/Dryer did not work. Heat was not very well regulated with the gas logs running which was needed with the 6 degree weather. Hot water heater was not big enough for the amount of people in the cabin. Water issues due to freezing weather. Very nice cabin, but needs a few updates. We had a wonderful Christmas’s. Sure wish the weather was warmer. WaterShed Properties was easy to work with and updated us on the dryer and water issues.

Great family fun

We visited Bryson City for the polar express train ride. We absolutely loved our stay at the cabin. The bunk room was a big hit among the cousin contingent! Well stocked, clean and roomy enough for our party of 10. The kids especially loved “the yard” where they could play and hang out. Camp fire, bocce ball, green space with a fantastic view. We’ll be back!

Great Cabin Surrounded by Natural Beauty

Just a wonderful experience. The cabin was great and we really enjoyed the outdoor fireplace. Swain County is one of the most beautiful areas I have been to. I highly recommend this cabin for a great get away for the weekend or an extended vacation stay.

Senior Adults Ministry

The property was very spacious an laid out great. It was a chore to get into due to the sharp turn into the driveway and no number on the post. Once we were there, everything was great. Loved the indoor & outdoor fireplaces. Did not use the hot tub. Having screened in porches were a nice bonus. Carpets upstairs need a good cleaning. We had a great stay and would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Vacation

We had a family of 14 and were very pleased that there was something to do for all age groups. The common area at the top of the hill (The Yard) was pretty neat and the view from up there was beautiful. The house had all the amenities needed. The terrain was very steep, but did not cause any issues. The hiking trails would be for more seasoned hikers and was not suitable for bringing our toddlers. The groundskeepers were very friendly. I have recommended this property to several friends.

Great Family Getaway

The property was nice. It was quiet and relaxing. Everything we needed was supplied. Towels, plenty of dishes, silverware, cooking utensils and pots and pans. Loved the convenience of having a full bathroom in each of the loft rooms and in the downstairs bunkbed room. We were so glad this was a dog friendly rental because we really hate to go on vacation without them as they are a part of our family. The children loved the tee pee and play area in the woods, by the house and the hiking trails throughout the area. It's a short drive to Bryson City in case you need to go to the grocery store or want to go out to eat. The only negative we can say about the house is the inside could use a good cleaning from top to bottom. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the house and area. We would definitely stay there again.

Cabin was beautiful, spacious, clean and cozy. Had plenty of accommodations for 3 families and friends a total of 15 people. Only negative we experienced was work was being done and we had 1.5 days where we had did not have free access to water and overall internet was poor but that is a given with the area you are located.

Nice cabin but could use upgrades

Steep incline to cabin. Plenty of parking space which was nice. It could use appliance upgrades in kitchen and laundry area. Lots of ants and stink bugs but it is in the middle of the woods. Cabin has plenty of room for our family of 10. We cooked every night and found every pot or pan we needed plus used the outdoor grill. The outside fireplace was our absolute favorite in the evenings and the kids really enjoyed the hot tub. Overall it was a positive experience although a bit overpriced for the age of it.
