I had a good time

This was a great place to stay. I think it should be clearer on the listing that there is no WiFi, but it was a very relaxing place to unwind.

The home instantly welcomed you with all of its charm. Excellent attention to detail with the decor, easy open windows, room darkening blinds etc. Communication & cleanliness were both great. Visited with my 8 year old son and we both loved every minute!Just show up and be ready to soak up the magical forest. (Ok bring bacon, eggs & potatoes because the portable induction range is awesome),Convenient access to the Parkway, Sylva, Dillsboro, Cherokee and Waynesville. 100/10 - can’t wait to return!

Thank you for the lovely review. Glad the home's charm and attention to detail — easy-open windows, room-darkening blinds, and decor- made your stay comfortable, and that communication and cleanliness met your expectations. Happy the portable induction range was a hit (great tip about bacon, eggs & potatoes), and that you both enjoyed the magical forest and easy access to the Parkway, Sylva, Dillsboro, Cherokee, and Waynesville. We’d be pleased to host you again.
