  • Carlos: We deeply appreciate your allowing us to rent your cabin for the last two weeks in October. Like many others, we waited too long before deciding to make this trip and then had to look on the Internet at many differnt cabins and in four different states to find just the right place to enjoy the fall colors. Your cabin was a great choice! We would highly recommend your cabin to everyone. It is extremely clean, very comfortably appointed, and has everything they may need. So comfortable, that we had no desire to go anywhere else on inclement days, although that was always possible due to the fully paved access roads. This is a great place to stay and we appreciate your allowing us to use it. Pete & Vi - Cape Coral, FL

  • We just spent last week in the Gaskin home and it was very nice. We have stayed in many places form VRBO but this one had the best supplied kitchen by far. We like to grill and "eat in" so we were very pleased. The view was incredible and ever changing depending on the cloud cover. We will definitely consider staying here again. Thanks, Carlos!

  • We spent a very relaxing Friday through Tuesday with family and friends at the Gaskin home. It was during the recent rains that affected Atlanta. Even though it was raining, the views were constantly changing from the deck of this beautiful home. The covered deck and swing allowed us to be outside to listen to the rain falling. I was so relaxed from the serenity of the Smoky Mountains. The Gaskins are the perfect hosts for sharing their wonderful view with us. You cannot ask for a more polite couple in all their concern for ensuring we had a wonderful weekend. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to recharge in your wonderful home.

  • We spent the month of August 2009, along with some friends, at the Gaskin home. The house easily sleeps eight and is equipped with everything one could need. The view of the lake and surrounding mountains is fantastic, and we enjoyed boating, swimming and fishing. An extraordinarily enjoiyable and relaxing place.

  • Our visit to the Gaskin home (5/19 - 5/22) was the perfect escape from hectic city life. The house has everything that you might need to feel comfortable and the view is absolutely amazing! We will absolutely consider renting from Carlos in the future.

  • We had a wonderful time staying at the Gaskin house. We had three kids with us and I was very happy to see a variety of games we could all play. There were also many maps of the area which we used to help find things to do and find shortcuts that we really enjoyed. They had everything that we could possibly need and we were all so very comfortable. We had a great vacation and have told all of our friends about their house. We definately recommend staying here.

  • What a wonderful and relaxing way to spend a week!! The first night my husband had a hard time sleeping, because he said it was too quiet. No sirens, no car doors slamming, no dogs snoring,etc. The view is just spectacular. The home is lovely withso many extras. I really felt like the Gaskins were sharing their home with us and My Husband and I were so humbled by their generosity. We expecially loved watching the birds. The weather was warm the day we arrived and the next day it turned too cold for hummingbirds so I never was able to put out the hummingbird feeder. The last day we were there Don say 1 hummingbird fly near the porch as that day was a warm day but cool air was predicted to come in again later that night and the next day. I feel like I spent a week in a fairytale land and now I have had to come back down to reality. I have already given the info to two friends and I am sure the Gaskins will be hearing from them in the near future.

  • This vacation home is amazing! I have 2 young boys ( 2 1/2 and 3 1/2) and they LOVED everything about the home...esp. the ping pong table and large ball! You made it so easy to relax and breathe. As mentioned on your website, the view is incredible. If anyone has questions regarding the choice to stay here, please feel free to email us. The Gaskins make this a home as if it were your own. Thank you for the memory!

  • The 10 days we spent in this house in Bear Paw was delightful. The house had everything we needed both inside and outside. The patio furniture was a big upgrade from plastic chaires, all the bathrooms had two sinks each and even came with night lights, the view was beautiful, the attention to detail was everywhere. We definitely will plan to stay at this house again, soon.
