Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you had a great time and enjoyed the peaceful setting among the trees. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back again soon!
Our family had a great time staying at this cabin. The cabin was just as pictured and our kids had a great time with everything that the cabin had to offer. The location is great, being a quick drive up the mountain allowing for quiet without taking forever to get into town. We would definitely stay here again.

Thanks for your thoughtful and thorough review. We're thrilled that your kids enjoyed the games and amenities provided during your stay. We'd welcome you back anytime you visit the beautiful town of Waynesville.
A wonderful property with excellent amenities and very responsive hosts. The only downside for us two older ladies was the steep stairs down to the lower level and a single handrail on the entry stairs.
Everything was just as listed. No cons whatsoever. Pros. : Very clean, plenty of cooking ware, appliances, towels, communication with the owners was spot on, easy access to check-in. We would definitely stay here again.
