Best of Smokies - Riverfront, Waterfalls, Unforgetable - Got It All - DEAL!!

My best friend from high school (almost 40 years) and I planned a Spring Break trip to Western NC. She loves waterfalls and photography but had never been to the Smoky Mountains. Both my maternal and paternal families are from Graham County and I wanted to show her the BEST part of the NC mountains.

Right from the beginning, Mike was very accommodating with me in making the reservations for our stay. Our original reservations were for April during Spring Break but with COVID-19 closures, Mike allowed us to reschedule our vacation with full credit before VRBO made the recommendations to property owners. And then... once my friend and I realized that we would probably be returning to our schools earlier than usual in August which would interfere with our August reservations, once again, Mike was very accommodating with our request and changed our reservations for June 18-21.

We arrived a little early to the property and Yaling was there finishing up with preparations for our arrival. Yaling is so very sweet and made sure we had everything we needed. She even helped us unload our car! The cottage was adorable and clean. The kitchen had all the utensils, dishes, and appliances you would use in your own home, and the beds were very comfortable, especially after a long day of sightseeing. The owners were available and responded quickly to our questions. Staying at River Dance Lodge was very pleasant and peaceful. It's close enough to the necessities and plenty of things to do and see, but away enough to feel private and restful. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a vacation in the Great Smoky Mountains. Thank you, Mike and Yaling for being wonderful hosts. I am sure I will be back in the future!
