It is a beautiful, serene home with plenty of amenities and spots for relaxation. Close to John Campbell Folk School, it afforded me an opportunity to take a class while my husband took advantage of the many well kept hiking trails in the parks close to Brasstown. He and our dogs, who were welcome in the cabin, had lots of fun taking in the beauty of North Carolina’s stunning beauty. This impeccable home was a joy for all.

The host was amazing leaving me a wonderful birthday gift upon our arrival. The location was gorgeous and the river sounds were so relaxing. I fell asleep on the swing listening to it. The house was very well supplied more than any other rental I have stayed in. The arrival steps was very well detailed and there was nothing outlined to do upon checkout which was unlike any other place we’ve stayed. We loved everything about our stay except the weather. If VRBO can control that we’re in trouble. Seriously one of the best stays we’ve had and already discussing when we can return. Thanks so much for a great stay!!
