We had such a wonderful stay in this beautiful cabin. It was so relaxing and peaceful. The community is spectacular. Definitely will visit again very soon.
Beautiful weekend getaway, my husband and I. The cabin was so wonderful it was so beautiful and peaceful! The hot tub was also great and had a fire place inside and out side. I got spoiled we didn’t want to go home! Loved it!
My husband and I had a great time at this cabin for our anniversary. It was a beautiful place. The Watershed staff communicated with us and the check in and out process was a breeze. It was a bit of a drive to hiking trails but not too bad. Our only complaint was that there was a good bit of dust on the bathroom counter. Nothing major. We will definitely return!

If you want a place with a view of the mountains, this is not it
Sadly, as someone else said, the pictures do not accurately depict the views of this cabin in the summer and we paid more specifically to sit on the deck and enjoy the view. The house was ok (maintenance issues and cleanliness) but somewhat worn and not worth the extra money. Stargazer was right below it, same layout and had a nice view of the mountains, at least for now.
Beautiful spacious cabin! Quiet, peaceful, very relaxing. Perfect couples getaway. Well stocked supplies for kitchen, bath and laundry. Great hottub and outside deck and grill. Very good location. Close to Bryson City, rafting, hiking, and Fontana Lake. Recommend arriving before dark as the ride up the mountain is a bit adventurous but fun! We were so pleased with this gorgeous cabin!!!
All in all, I really enjoyed my stay in this beautiful cabin however, I was quite disappointed that the pictures on the advertisement shows a scenic view of the mountains but the truth is… the trees are mostly blocking the view. The kitchen is fully furnished with basic kitchen and cooking utensils that you may need. It is a very quiet place and you will wake up with the birds humming. So relaxing!
I loved our cabin and hated to leave. It was perfect for a romantic get away. We were able to get some adventure in on the zipline and white water rafting and spend the evening by the fireplace in the hot tub. We will be back!!
Great cabin to stay in. Beautiful view and glass windows
The wife and I stayed here to river raft the Nantahala River (15 mins away), do some hiking and enjoy peace and quiet on top of a hill. It was everything we wanted. Great place to book.
We enjoyed the weekend at this cabin. Even though there are other cabins near, we still felt secluded. Cabin was well equipped and met our desires. Was a great weekend for sure.
The road up the mountain can be a challenge. So heads up. There is also a large amount of poison Ivy right off the cabins deck. So ensure you know what poison Ivy looks like. And be careful of the deck boards, several are cracked and split. Watch your step.
The place was perfect, our stay just wasn't long enough. I 100% recommend for a romantic getaway. We loved the morning view and enjoyed admiring the stars from the hot tub at night. There are some spiders, ants, and other critters inside the cabin and lots of bees outside, but that is to be expected with the location and had no impact on our stay. The only reason we aren't rating a 5/5 is because there were lots of cobwebs throughout the cabin and thick dust under and around the bottom of the furniture. We also want to thank Watershed Cabins for the detailed directions and instructions for check-in/check-out.
We asked for seclusion and intimate and that is exactly what we got! The property was beautiful and the cabin was so cute!! One of the tvs world not work/ change channels, one of the showers would not get hot, and there were some light bulbs burnt out in the ceiling lights (it was in the kitchen so it made a difference) but these things did not take away from our experience. The bed was super comfy, the place was exceptionally clean, and the check in process was super simple. It snowed on xmas and was a prefect 10 year honeymoon for us. We will be back for sure!!

Beautiful!
Overall, we had a great experience with this place. Beautiful cabin and amazing sunrise. Make sure you scope it out in daylight when going for the first time; it was kind of tricky in the dark. We will definitely be visiting this one again in the future.

Beautiful cabin !!!!
It would have been a 5 star for sure but the roads getting to the cabin are in horrible shape . We drove a motorcycle to the cabin and ended up dropping in twice because of the road .
But the cabin itself was beautiful and perfect !

Great!
The cabin was beautiful. My gps took me right to the cabin. The power went out while we were there, but we played board games and still had a great time. The only complaint we had was the dirty dishes in the cabniets when we got there. Other than that everything was perfect!
