Loved this place! It was clean and the host was perfect! I reached out to her a few times, and I was amazed that she replied so quickly each time!!! Perfect location. Minutes away from Waynesville. Cherokee and Bryson City were not far away at all. Very quiet neighborhood. Had the pleasure of seeing an elk right in the yard (of course we viewed him from a safe distance). We loved sitting on the porch and looking up at the mountains. It was so peaceful. I would definitely stay here again! The host was perfect, as well as the house!

Amazing! The cabin was extremely clean, comfortable for 6 adults and had a beautiful view. Norma was very helpful and quick to respond to my messages. We all loved seeing the elks, ground-hogs, chipmunks, hummingbirds and even one skunk. We truly didn't want to leave. We definitely will come back again.

Cabin was exceptionally clean and well maintained. Location was close to Cherokee, Waynsville and Asheville.There are a lot of new cabins being built so not many open fields and the Elk did not come close to cabin but there was a farm next to neighborhood where they would come every evening to graze and we would drive over there to watch them.Norma was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had about the property or area. Cabin is very spacious and perfect for a family vacation!

Could not have been better. Property was even better than expected. I spent time talking to and getting to know the neighbors, all very nice people. Spectacular views yet close to everything we needed, even saw an elk walking across the street. Communication with the owner was second to none. She replied promptly to every question, supplied area information, no detail left undone.

Quiet Getaway

We were looking for quiet tranquility with a view. Even though you have neighbors everyone is friendly and respects your privacy. Cabin is very well appointed and exceptionally clean. However the killer is the outside deck. Even when it rains you have plenty of cover to sit it out. We did not try out the fire pit because we were too lazy. Definitely a cabin I would return too many times.

About the host

Hosted by Norma Rea, Owner

Host profile image
My family and I have been visiting western NC for over 30 years.. I finally decided that this would be the best place I knew, for a vacation home for my family, friends and to share with others.
I've been in the real estate business for over 20 years.. I've owned many rental properties and Love to share my home with others. This is our 4th home in our "Linger Longer" Chain

Why they chose this property

There's nothing like a newly built home. While I think it is gorgeous, what can be better than the Elk that often wonder the neighborhood and graze right off of the back deck.

What makes this property unique

I've been in the vacation rental business for close to ten years. I feel that I have learned what guests need and want and we strive to offer a great experience. This is the 4th home that we've added to The Linger Longer in NC chain.
With also being a licensed Realtor, I think I'm fairly good at purchasing unique properties that others will enjoy. As they say.... LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.
