Thank you for your kind review! We’re so glad you found Silver Linings well equipped for your Thanksgiving meal and that our responsiveness helped make your stay smooth and enjoyable. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime!
This place was adorable and so big! There were 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The drive to the house was secluded and at the top of the hill so there was a beautiful view! The drive to town was about 15 minutes away and there were so many great places to eat and visit. Overall, this place was perfect for our weekend getaway and the hosts were very helpful and great at communicating in a timely manner.

Thank you Deborah! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay. Come back and see us!
I appreciated the couple of Xmas decorations. The house was very nice and cozy. My dog enjoyed being able to be off lease and run around in this very private setting. I would have liked to see an air fryer/convection oven as I'm so used to cooking with them now that I felt the absence of one. Also I do want to say that if there was any snow or ice that getting to this house might be tricky.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! It’s wonderful to hear your dog loved the freedom to explore the private setting at Silver Linings — that’s one of our favorite things about the property too. We appreciate your suggestion about adding an air fryer/convection oven and will certainly keep it in mind as we continue to improve the guest experience. And thank you for noting the winter access — mountain roads can be tricky in snow or ice, and we always recommend checking conditions and using appropriate vehicles when needed. We’d love to host you again!
My significant other and I drove down for a nice relaxing getaway and received just that. Alexis was an absolute gem; extremely responsive, kind and inviting. She even checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. The home was exactly what we were looking for. Something calm and peaceful. The trek to it was fun in a Honda coupe, but once I got the hang of it it was a breeze lol. The home was cozy and the view of the mountains was excellent! Would 10/10 recommend and visit again!

Loved this property - very nice amenities and clean! Great set up and easy to use electronics. We had rainy weather the whole time so did not get to enjoy the outdoors. The only surprise was the gravel road to get there.

Wonderful house at the top of the mountain! Very private and plenty of room for the pups to run and play. Hot tub had a fantastic view. Fireplace was great. Lots of extra blankets to keep warm (it was in the teens at night). House was as comfortable as being at home - had all we needed. Host was very responsive and made the trip easy. Would definitely stay again! Thanks Alexus!

Isolated with great views = perfect family getaway. The host was extremely responsive and the property as advertised. Beds were comfy and the house is very nice for the area. We enjoyed sunsets in the hot tub! A bit of a bumpy ride up the long driveway, but very manageable. Internet was spotty at times, but worked well enough to stream football games and movies with minimal interruptions. A small price to pay for mountain seclusion.

So glad you enjoyed your time away! We look forward to hosting you again!
We were only there 2 nights, traveling through. The road to get there is sketchy to say the least. Tiny but has huge potholes, fiber optics lines on the ground from a storm. House could be taken care of better on the outside. The view is beautiful, but not much outside space to go on a walk to enjoy. Inside, it is nice, spacious, has mostly everything we needed. They provide 1 towel per person (as listed) but no extra for the hot tub. The white bath towels didn’t seem like the best idea to be outside. But we made due. It was clean and secluded, just like we wanted. It was beautiful and a good place to stay.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughtful feedback about your stay at Silver Linings. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the beautiful views, the clean and spacious cabin, and the seclusion you were looking for during your stay. We also appreciate your honest notes about the road conditions, outdoor upkeep, and towel setup. Your input helps us know where we can improve to make future stays even better. We’ll certainly take your suggestions into account, especially regarding extra towels for hot tub use and outdoor maintenance. We’re happy you found the cabin to be a good place to stay, and we’d love to welcome you back on your next trip through the area!
We didn’t get there until about dark. The road was challenging, but Alexis sent us excellent directions. We were so pleased with the house. Didn’t really get to see the wonderful views until the next morning. We spent a lot of time on the front porch. The kitchen was well equipped and easy to work in. One of my daughters is trying to convince me we should come back soon! Wouldn’t take much convincing.

Everything was as advertised. A relaxing getaway. It had great views. The house was well set up with a master BR downstairs and two queens upstairs. Alexus was very attentive (though since everything was as promised, there was no need to be.) If you've stayed at other places which had almost no supplies, you'll be very pleasantly surprised at what you'll find here. I'd suggest driving up during the daylight on your first visit, but once you get the lay of the land, it's an easy drive. It's also close to skiing and tubing at a Cataloochee and to groceries and restaurants (Haywood Smokehouse was a family favorite) in Waynesville.

Host is very responsive and communicated well. Directions to home were perfect. The home was clean and cozy. It was fully stocked with everything youd need in the kitchen and bathrooms! Washer and dryer were great after the ski slopes to clean our gear. My daughter loved the hot tub. Highly recommended going out at night when you can relax and star gaze. Just make sure to bring some extra towels for the hot tub If we make another trip to this area we will definitely book again.
