Beautiful views and peaceful area. My dog and I enjoyed walking the road and cemetery. There is a dog that lives close by and it was not friendly. Thankfully my dog and I were already inside when it showed up but definitely be aware and keep your pets safe. Also, plan ahead, there was no gas station or grocery store or restaurant close by so make sure you stop in a larger nearby city! Overall, this cabin was clean and comfortable and as I said, a beautiful view!

Great getaway

Brand new house overlooking the mountains. Property managers were great to assist with any needs. Great location for short drive to Cherokee, hiking trails, waterfalls, and restaurants. Amazing kitchen and bathroom setup. Great place to unplug and unwind.

Perfect

Perfect sums up our stay. Home itself was adorable, kept telling my husband, “I could live here”. Well equipped and beautifully decorated. Peaceful setting. So quiet while I was sitting outside reading that I could actually hear the birds wings flapping as they flew above me. Just the relaxation we were looking for.

This was a great find in Whittier...just outside of Bryson City. This place is new construction and very well appointed. Well decorated and all the amenities anyone needs. The layout flows well and a very open feel. The outdoor seating and hot tub were perfect! Master bedroom bed was very comfortable and the spa-like shower was a treat!The hosts repsonded to all of my questions very quickly. There was construction on a new unit next door which did have us blcoked on one afternoon but we resolved that easily with the construction workers. This is a GREAT place to stay and I will certainly look to stay here again the next time we plan a trip to this area!

The cabin was dusty, esp above the fire place. Bedroom had a q tip and large ball of dust in it. The shower doors in the hall bathroom would not stay closed. Hung on angle. Added water to the hot tub, was very low. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was nice except when we went to run the dishwasher and there was no tablets. Notified manager and was asked to go purchase some, I would get reimbursed. Schedules were pretty full and a trip to the store wasn’t in there.
