The cabin is great. Nicer than in the pictures. Just on the shores of the rivers. All the facilities worked well. Nolan our host was extremely helpful and nice. Its the perfect place to relax and only 30 minutes away from great smoky mountains National park. We firmly recommend staying here!

This place is fabulous ! Everything was perfect. Nothing better than sitting on the deck watching the water go by. And briefly talking to rafters as they went by.

What an amazing place

We stayed for an entire week and didn't want to go home. The house is beautiful and the view is even better, a great location for outdoor activities. We went hiking and the guys did a little fishing. I would definitely recommend to friends and hope to come back again soon.

This property is directly on the Nantahalla River with room to play at the rivers edge. their are very few homes on the river with this type of access. it is a real gem. Our host, Nolan, was very helpful. We will stay here again.
