Dragon Trip

We had a great time on our stay here, and it was just a short ride to the dragon and town. The only issue I had was with the driveway going in the cabin property was super tough to get a small trailer in with the bikes. Other than that I don’t have any complaints and I will stay here again in the future!

Great place and good host

Came into town on a short vacation. Host was very good. Good communication and check in/check out process was a breeze. Property was very nice. It is also close to fontana dam and tail of the dragon, where we planned our day trip. I would recommend this place.

Cabin Yona

We absolutely loved our stay, the cabin, and our host. The cabin was very nice, clean, and it was so peaceful there- We were there overnight to visit Robbinsville, Fontana damn, Deals Gap, and the Cherohala Skyway- we cannot recommend a better place or host for this area!

We came to fish at Fontana lake, the pricing on this property was what caught me eye. Communication with the host was prompt and friendly. Cleanliness of the cabin was above expectations! If I could give it ten stars I would! Highly recommend this property for a getaway whether you’re coming to hide out or enjoy the mountains it’s just great. I will be back!

Great place to get away for a few days, we wish it had been a week. Centrally located to tons of outdoor activities when the weather is perfect and plenty of options if it fouls up. Would give the host communication 6 stars if possible. Thanks again!

Great place!

Came up to spend a day driving the tail of the dragon and other roads, road was gravel and turn into house was a bit uneven so not low car friendly. ALL THIS was clearly disclosed in the description but I felt the cabin was worth it as far as pictures showed a clean and safe place to rest and that’s exactly what it was! Lovely host to talk to via messenger and very cozy vibes!

CHD 2024: DOIN' the DRAGON !

My son, two grandkids, & I came to Western Carolina / TN to do the Tail of the Dragon in my Honda Civic Type-R. This is the Classic Honda Dragon that occurs each year in October. Directly on the "heels" of Hurricane Helene, we were able to get here on a beautiful sunny day. What a GREAT place & location to stay in attending this event. The kids LOVED it. It is well-stocked with necessary items for cooking, Entertainment, & sleeping accommodations. The fireplace gives the cabin a really neat, cozy tone in the evening. Communications with our Host was immediate & helpful. Thank you Sharon !

The place could’ve been a little cleaner. The refrigerator was left dirty but other than that we had a great stay. Would I stay in that cabin again probably not not a very good view that’s the only reason and also not enough room in the bedrooms. The bedrooms are very small no dressers and no TVs. The shower in the master bath is really small the washer and dryer in the basement is not very convenient the road going up to the place without four-wheel-drive. It would be hard to make it up there. We had our motorcycles and we got up there, but it wasn’t very fun. Other than that I give Camp Yauna 3 1/2 stars out of five only because you can’t see nothing for a view and the small bedrooms other than that, it was perfect. We did enjoy our stay and I would recommend for anyone to stay there. It is a good getaway if you wanna be away from everybody and in nature.

Cabin in Robbinsville

Overall, we enjoyed our trip to Robbinsville! The area is beautiful and there are endless trails, lakes, and rivers to explore. The cabin was cozy and the large windows made for great views. It was, however, quite dusty so we turned off the HVAC and left the windows open. The fresh mountain air was wonderful. You may have to buy your own paper towels and trash bags (and almost toilet paper) as we did. The grocery store is a short drive away but with all the roadwork currently going on it’s about 45 minutes travel time. The amenities are a bit misleading as originally it said it had a hot tub - it did not, the fireplace is gas (not wood burning as the pictures portray), the washer/dryer we almost didn’t find but were in the tall crawl space under the cabin, and it is not as secluded as you’d think as you have neighbors on both sides and across the street. None of these were huge issues, just unexpected. It’s a great spot for being centrally located with lots of attractions nearby but still completely void of cell service so you can really feel the refresh of being off grid and unplugged. The kitchen was fully stocked for cooking each day. The porch was big and offered great views and seating. It also had a gate with a latch so it was great for the doggies. Communication was very good. We would definitely recommend this spot - just make sure to be more clear about what to expect. Thank you to the hosts for sharing their special spot with us!
