Come up for my oldest daughter's birthday and to take the kids on the Polar Express. Angie and Russell were extremely helpful with recommendations for the area. Property was amazing and clean. We had a wonderful time around the fire pit and kids really enjoyed the jacuzzi. Highly recommend staying at this property and we will definitely be back to stay. Thanks again for a memorable weekend.

Beautiful Family Cabin

Really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful cabin in quiet neighborhood & no scary roads to get there! Loved the upper deck, really felt like you were in the treetops. The game room & kids area was perfect, kids loved it. Also, the hot tub & fire pit got a lot of use. Great rental for family vacation.

12/10 stay at this cabin! Our family travels 2-3 times a year and we always stay in a Vrbo/Air B&B. This has been our favorite so far because: The cabin: So well appointed. We always pack an emergency bag/tote of stuff that Vrbos seem never to have and we didn’t have to break into our emergency supplies this time. We had everything we needed and more! The cabin itself was so cozy and relaxing – we loved the hot tub and fire pit mostly, which made this such a relaxing trip. The Christmas decorations were such a nice touch over the holidays too.The neighborhood: Soooo quiet. Plus the common area with the lake was awesome to walk around and the boys got to do some fishing. We took walks every day and explored and just loved it. The communication: Most times we have to beg for info, but not this time. Wonderful, proactive communication that really went above and beyond, with suggested things to do in the area, driving directions, and so much more. 1000% will stay here the next time we are in the mountains – highly recommend staying here!!

Our only issue was that we couldn’t stay longer! Our little family of five had plenty of room to have our own space, yet still feel close. We were far enough away from town to not feel crowded and close enough for our adventures out. The house was equipped as described with nice fluffy towels, easy to use TVs, and comfortable beds. The little caring touches throughout the house did not go unnoticed, soaps in all bathrooms, stairway gates, labeled switches, motion lights on stairs, supplies for making coffee (even the to go cups with lids), fall decor and excellent communication. If we venture back out we will surely reach out to rent again!

Beautiful, cozy cabin

We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin has been beautifully updated and has a very warm, inviting feel to it on the inside. Also plenty of outdoor space to relax. Very clean all around. Quiet and tucked away but you are 28 in just a few minutes and close to Bryson, Tsali, Fontana. We had a great time.

What a fantastic place to stay with 5 grandchildren ranging from 8-17. The HOA grounds are wonderful & nicely maintained & safe for family fun. The property is centrally located with plenty to do in every direction. The hosts were wonderful in answering any requests. The home is perfect for family gatherings & even though the kitchen is small is very doable. Will come back again.

Perfect mountain vacation

This property is amazing! There are plenty of beds, great spaces for kids. It comes well stocked. Great kitchen supplies and very comfortable beds. The host is awesome and responds right away. The back deck is amazing. Coffee on the back deck was my favorite. The kids used the hot tub quite a bit. The property is very clean and organized. The neighborhood is quiet and there is a fishing pond just down the road with a nice deck and benches. The area is perfect for those wanting to visit the Smokies, NOC, Bryson City area. I would absolutely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Chris and Angie

Host profile image
I’m a retired registered nurse, after 26 years I decided to pursue my passion of real estate renovation and design. So I cashed out my retirement, and went to work!I think hosting is just a different way of caring for people, to make sure they are provided with everything they need for a great getaway. Everyone needs some relaxation and downtime, it’s truly important for all of us!

Why they chose this property

My husband‘s grandfather was an Appalachian Trail conservationist. We have been bringing our children to the Nantahala outdoor center, the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, and the Appalachian Trail since they were very young. We truly have love in our hearts for the area!

What makes this property unique

We love to travel, and stay in Airbnb‘s quite frequently. So I’ve tried to take all the best features from places we have enjoyed, and incorporated those things in our properties! I want people to walk in and feel at home, relaxed, and enjoy beautiful surroundings!
