GREAT house!!

Had the best Spring break vacation - not all family could come, but 9 of us did and we could stretch out and not be all on top of each other! The Game room in the basement and the Hot tub on the lower deck SAVED us! 3 girls ages 9-12 were very entertained!! Even had 1 bedroom we didn’t even use!!! We will be back!!!

Beautiful Mountain House

This large mountain cabin is hidden in the Cowee Valley. It has plenty of room and the views are incredible. The hot tub overlooking the valley is the highlight as well as the game room downstairs. We highly recommend staying here.

Excellent Mountain Getaway

The cabin is excellent! The road to get there is a little steep and twisty, but that’s true about most mountain cabins with a view. The back porch was perfect. If we had been there in the summer, that’s where we would have gathered. We came with our adult children and my mother. There was plenty of space to be together and also to be apart. The basement game room was a huge hit. The “kids” connected their switch to the tv for games. There was also many games of pool, foosball and Pac-Man/galaga/burgertime. The long table in the kitchen was great for meals and board games. We also used the hot tub and fire pit. The one time there was an issue, the owner had it fixed in a timely manner. We hiked, went to Biltmore for a day, and just enjoyed the company. Great place, as expected, would definitely return!

Beautiful and quiet

We enjoyed our stay! The cabin was nice and peaceful. I loved the rocking chair on the back porch and spent a lot of time just sitting out there in the quiet and enjoying the view! The cabin overall was lovely and it was nice to stay there. Game room for the kids was what sold us on this cabin over many others! We don't have many complaints but I will list them if you are curious about what they were... but in no way would I say the cabin was bad. Beautiful cabin, beautiful view, in a beautiful town! We enjoyed it overall very much! We did have a few struggles and I will list them here in case you are interested: The driveway up to the cabin was very steep. ( I feel like that should be mentioned in the description. My mother called it a goat trail 😂). It was nerve-racking the first day till we got the hang of it after a few trips, ...but I literally said a prayer every time and hoped we didn't meet another driver coming or going opposite direction because there was only room for one car and no where to pull off and let them through ...and it would have been a nightmare to go backwards ( up or down!) to let them through. We liked that there were Plenty of towels and beds. I was able to wash towels and still have enough towels that were clean. The dryer needs servicing,barely dried and took forever. I heard our cook complain about the oven was very dirty. Some of the linen had holes ( blankets, towels, and the bed sheet) but didn't make them unusable. Cabin is all wood and ec

Beautiful cabin in a setting with scenic views, a hot tub and a huge fire pit. We ended up with 14 and had plenty of room both in the common spaces and beds. The dining room table is is single cut polished tree trunk and makes a fun dining atmosphere. The host was helpful and responsive when we had a minor alarm issue and sent help out right away. We will def do this again.

Everything You Need

We had a good sized group of 16 and never felt cramped. There’s plenty of games and activities for the whole family and enough space to get away, if you want, especially on the massive back deck! During our stay we had a few personal issues with our vehicle and a few with the cabin, but Ted, Crystal, and William were extremely helpful and accommodating through it all. Thank you for letting our extended family make memories together in your lovely cabin!

Overall a nice place to stay, but could use some TLC.

The property and location are beautiful. Some of the amenities at the property could be improved and or repaired. The pool table, foosball table should be maintained. Bathrooms are dated, but functional. Toilet paper not enough supplied and single ply like sandpaper. Paper towels, not enough. Some lighting fixtures didn't work and some burned out old florescents bulbs and no replacement. Soap, shampoo not supplied and they should be included in dispensers in every bathroom. All the 5 bathroom and kitchen are functional but dated. Loose toilet in the upstairs bathroom. Garbage has to be taken to the dump in Franklin or there will be a charge if left behind. The American flag on the front entrance is ripped and faded. The AC/Heat system is not sufficient for this size house. There are 2 thermostat (basement and main) and you can only either run Heat or AC at the same time. If the basement is cold, but the main floor is hot you cannot run them separately. It's either heat throughout the house or AC. This size house needs at least 2 separate units. Overall, it's too much responsibility on the renter.
