It is a beautiful, serene home with plenty of amenities and spots for relaxation. Close to John Campbell Folk School, it afforded me an opportunity to take a class while my husband took advantage of the many well kept hiking trails in the parks close to Brasstown. He and our dogs, who were welcome in the cabin, had lots of fun taking in the beauty of North Carolina’s stunning beauty. This impeccable home was a joy for all.

We stayed 4 nights last week and from the time you turn onto the short dead end road where the cabin is located, you feel a sense of relaxation. On the right was a green meadow where we saw a momma fox and her babies at her den. The drive in was beautiful and pulling up to the cabin itself, you see the view of the rushing river and you just go "wow"!! The cabin is decorated in cabin and wildlife decor. Loved the layout of the rooms. Very warm and homey feeling. The host Robbie, has indicated where everything is located in the kitchen. Beautiful view out of the kitchen window of a grassy knoll. We counted 15 deer out the back. There were 5 geese with babies on the rocks in the river, groundhogs directly across the river and an otter swimming along the bank. Birds galore. I had to get them some birdseed at Walmart which was very close. Dollar General was only a 5 minute drive away. An excellent priduce stand nearby as well. We all remarked how extremely quiet our stay was. All you could actually hear was the river and the birds singing. We spent everyday either sitting on the porch or walking along the river. Great accomodations if you are traveling with your fur babies in the fenced in back yard. We enjoyed our stay so much that I booked it again for next year. If you are considering a stay here, you will not be disappointed if you book it here. Perfect getaway to relax, destress and enjoy your vacation time.

The host was amazing leaving me a wonderful birthday gift upon our arrival. The location was gorgeous and the river sounds were so relaxing. I fell asleep on the swing listening to it. The house was very well supplied more than any other rental I have stayed in. The arrival steps was very well detailed and there was nothing outlined to do upon checkout which was unlike any other place we’ve stayed. We loved everything about our stay except the weather. If VRBO can control that we’re in trouble. Seriously one of the best stays we’ve had and already discussing when we can return. Thanks so much for a great stay!!
