This property is amazing! It's well maintained, clean, updated, spacious, and comfortable. The view of the lake is spectacular! The property manager responded quickly to all communications. We booked it because it is centrally located between two great parks with lots of hiking trail options that included waterfall destinations. Plus within an hour or two of several other towns that we wanted to check out such as Asheville, Bryson City, Maggie Valley, and Pigeon Forge, TN. Depending on what you are looking for the next few items may be pros or cons. The home is pretty isolated. There is one cabin just up the street, but otherwise, it's at least a 30-minute drive in either direction to get to a community with a grocery store. Also, there is no cell service at the cabin, but there is strong wifi. We would have to drive at least 15 to 20 minutes in either direction before we could get a couple of bars for cell service. The road to get to the cabin is paved, but narrow and very twisted. If coming from Franklin, there are a lot of hairpin curves. Coming from Murphy, it's curvy but fun. The cabin driveway is pretty steep, but not terrible. If visiting in the winter, you will need 4X4. Otherwise, will need a car with some height for clearance.
