Eve: Just a note to share about our stay at your cabin April 22-26. The six of us had a wonderful and relaxing time at your mountain home. On Monday morning we awoke to snow flurries followed by cool and pleasant days thereafter. We took advantage of all that the cabin had to offer, including the beautiful views from your balcony. We did some waterfall sight-seeing and took a drive around the lake. We were going to rent a pontoon boat, but it was a bit too cool and windy. We were fortunate to have excellent cooks in our group including a Cajun chef that fed us a gourmet meal that you cannot get outside of Louisiana. Denise and I cannot remember a better vacation get-a-way. Thanks again, for your participation in the St. Timothy Auction and the opportunity it gave us to make a mountain retreat. If we could, we would never leave the mountains. God Bless. Joe

Definitely loved this place & hope to return. Recommend both 4-wheel drive & bringing some DVDs for inclement weather, as the road is very steep & can be slick in the rain...and satellite TV isn't available in bad weather. However, the place is beautiful, views of mountains, forest, & the lake from deck & patio & hot tub & fire pit. Nicely decorated for the holidays as you see in photos...all photos accurately show how pretty it is here.

We won a raffle to stay here, and I can't even begin to tell you how nice it is. The cabin was one of the nicest places that we have ever stayed. The view was to die for! It was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Even though we won the stay, the owners were so accomodating! We saw 2 deer on the way up, and saw several hummingbirds. They have two feeders on the deck. I would highly recommend this cabin. Thank you Jeff and Eve!

Owner response:Dear Marjorie, We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Hope to see you sometime again. My husband has yet to see the deer.. he is so jealous. :) So glad you could enjoy everything. Thanks Jeff and Eve

Hi Eve and Jeff, wanted to email you and thank you for another wonderful stay at your cabin. We left Saturday around 11:00 and everything on the checkout list was completed. We did our best to minimize the maids cleanup and left some extra firewood by the pit. Two weeks up there felt like a month, as it always slows down once you're up there. Awesome!!! Had a great variety of weather during our stay, and the boat worked out as well. We treat the cabins we stay in as if we own them. I also wanted to thank you for being flexible about check in, and giving us such a great deal. We will be long term customers for sure. Even though we live on the beach, the kids did not want to leave your cabin. Thanks again, and let us know if there is anything we can do and when you have any spontaneous deals/openings you want to fill. Take care. Stephen

My husband and I stayed here for 4 days and 3 nights and leaving was so difficult!! The attention to detail in this house was just incredible, the views were indescribable, everything was immaculate and so comfortable. I cannot say enough positive things about our stay. We are already planning our next trip out there and advising everyone we know to make staying at the Brye Haus their next vacation destination. Seriously once you get there, you don't want to leave and go anywhere, we are so happy we got to have this beautiful memory and cannot wait to come back!!!!! :-) Kristen & Matt

Owner response:So glad you both had a great time. Thanks for all the kind words, happy we could make your experience so enjoyable. We hope to see you both again in the future. Happy Holidays Eve!!

This was an amazing property! Very well kept and decorated. Amazing view and very secluded love it. This was a real get away from Urman South Florida! Eve is very easy to deal with! and the prices you can't beat. Thank you Eve once again for sharing your home!

Eve, Happy New Year! I’m sorry this is so late, but I just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you so much for allowing us to rent your beautiful cabin. We had such an enjoyable time while we were up there – we went to Maggie Valley and skied, visited the Fontana Dam, the brewery in Sylva, the waterfalls near Highlands and loved driving around Lake Nantahala and the surrounding cities! We can’t wait to come back in the summertime – sounds like a lot fun water activities!

Good afternoon Eve, My husband I loved our visit to your cabin. The home is well decorated, very cozy, and very secluded. The view is awesome we saw many shooting stars Saturday night. I love the shower upstairs and took pictures we plan on doing something like that in our future home. The cabin is very well built. My husband is a carpenter so he was very impressed with the quality of work. You don’t find very many cabins these days that are well built. Again we enjoyed our stay so much that we wanted to see if it was possible to be able to rent your place every year around Dec 12th. Each year we have stayed in a cabin and yours is by far the best we have stayed at. I hope that you will think about it and we will keep in touch. P.S. I have given your VRBO number to a few people who are interested in renting out a cabin sometime next year. I hope they will decide on yours. They will not be disappointed. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us,

Hello, Well at long last I have the opportunity to thank you for the weekend at your home. It truly was lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed your home and the scenery. My daughter’s favorite was the hot tub. My wife’s was our hike along the Appalachian Trail. Thanks again. I hope that your rentals continue to go well. And, perhaps we can make a plan to visit that area again.

Eve, We had a wonderful week last week – your home there is spectacular – the leaves are already starting to change. We found the rugged beauty of western NC to be awe-inspiring and stress-relieving. We had great weather and we really struggled coming back to the 92 degrees yesterday in Jacksonville.We have rented several homes over the years and this was the first time we experienced such a well appointed vacation rental home. Everything was as advertised…….we truly enjoyed our time away. For restaurants, we tried a couple in Murphy – the Chophouse (very average) and Shoe Booties (excellent, went on all-you-can-eat crablegs Thursday). Thanks again, and hopefully we will be able to visit again sometime, perhaps next time with the kids in tow!Richard J. Alberti

Hi Eve, can't believe it's been a couple of weeks already since we left your cabin. Just wanted to let you know that we had a great time! Everything was perfect. The weather was ideal the whole time. Only rained the day we left. Anyway, we had a great time and wanted to thank you for letting us enjoy your beautiful home. Please put us on whatever list you may have and keep us informed, as we would love to visit again... Take care.... The Purcells

Hi Eve - Just wanted to let you know we left this afternoon instead of tomorrow morning. We had really great time & enjoyed your home! It is beautiful! We loved how comfortable & at home we felt there! The kids loved sleeping in the loft. The views were amazing & we really enjoyed the lake & boat! Although my husband & son would have loved to have caught some fish!! My son just chimed in & said he liked reading some of the books you had on the shelf but specifically "Do Not Open"! Again, thank you so much for all your understanding with our re-scheduling. We really appreciate it. I don't think we have ever worked so hard at getting to a vacation! Cynthia

Hi Eve, We had a wonderful time at the cabin. It is even prettier and nicer than we were expecting. We all loved it! We roasted marshmallows and wieners, went hiking, went out on the lake, and even white water rafting. It was so much fun. Thank you for everything!!!

Hey Eve, Just wanted to let you know we had a great time . Your cabin is beautiful and so comfortable. We loved the view . It was truly a great place to relax and enjoy each other. We celebrated our 25th and it will always be a very special memory. I love the pebble rock shower and would like to do something like that in our cabin. Hope to take our kids with us sometime.

What a great place! We're been from Cairo to Tokyo but the South is always our home. Thank you for sharing your piece of it. We were just needing a couple of nights to stay somewhere so we could whitewater the Cheoah River. But I think we might come back just to enjoy the view again from your place. JP, April 2009

Owner response:Glad you enjoyed everything, hope the Cheoah was all you thought it would be. Hope you visit us again.

I just wanted to email to let you know how much my family and I enjoyed our stay at the Brye Haus earlier this month. I wish we could have spent the entire week, as three nights went by just to fast! I think your kids were very brave to venture into the COOL waters of the lake. My godchild, my mother and myself hung out with our feet dangling from the boat launch -- we never made it actually into the waters of the lake. I hope that we can reserve the cabin for a longer period whenever we return to the North Carolina mountains in the future.
