Great place for us to stay on some outdoor adventures for our family. Had plenty of room for several kids and kitchen was very well stocked. Great communication with property manager on any needs we had and plenty of upfront details in the check in process and binder in the house. Definitely a steep drive up at times with the rain but our van made it easy enough. Again, had plenty of kitchen items and towels for showers and hot tub. Game room was a great addition for us to get some more space to relax and enjoy the trip. Would recommend with any family but just general caution for edges with littles and anyone with being on the side of the mountain. You are a little bit away from things so plan for 20-35 minutes for some dinner and grocery options but, that’s what we wanted. More wildlife and enjoyed being on the NC side of the National Park instead of near Gatlinburg and sevierville craziness.

Amazing views!!! Clean and fully stocked for what you need especially in the kitchen. Had a wonderful time. Hot tub was great and the game room was awesome. Highly recommend a stay. Side note… the road entrance to the house is a well maintained gravel/dirt road with an incline. We made it up with a truck (non-4wheel) and a ford Edge during spring. Thank you to the host!!!

Very nice cabin with an amazing view. Carol was extremely accommodating and communication was excellent. For anyone who is new to the mountains, the last part of the drive up may be somewhat intimidating, would definitely recommend arriving in daylight. The house was well stocked and clean. Would highly recommend this cabin for a couple or a family with kids, lots of things to do!
