Best cabin with awesome views

This was the 3 times we have stayed in this cabin and can’t wait to go again. Beautiful cabin and the views are just awesome. Great location; less than 15 minutes to Smoky Mountain NP and casino in Cherokee. The cabin has everything you need to have a relaxing and comfortable time.

Cabin stay

The home and view were absolutely amazing. The road being paved was a huge plus; these mountain roads are sketchy enough as it is. Having plenty of bed made a family of 7 with 2 kids sleep comfortably. Would definitely return in the future!

Great place!

The views were amazing! The cabin was nice and clean. The kitchen had everything that you might need. Everyone slept great! AC's worked great. Nice hot water with good water pressure for showers. Best to get there before dark. Driving up in the dark can be a little intense.

Great family Christmas getaway

Once you get past the steep mountain drive to reach the beautiful cabin, we had a wonderful family gathering with ample accommodations. We will return for other family getaways for sure.

Clean and beautiful

Cabin was beautiful, as was the view. This was a family trip consistent with two families ( total of 4 children 8-11yo). We would stay at the property again. Only issue is that the outside trash cans were full upon arrival and there were bear sightings so we had to keep the trash inside. Along with the fact that there weren’t enough towels for everyone.

Breathtaking!

I loved the location of the cabin. It’s gated for our peace and protection and the cabin itself was just perfect. Not to big and not to small. If we could, we would just live there. I know I kept saying it’s very peaceful up in the mountains, but to hear it from my own kids made me feel good knowing we picked a perfect spot! I hope we can be back again very soon!

Weekend of fun with friends

Great weekend with my husband and 2 other couples. Cabin had 360 views, just beautiful. Plenty of room for us to be together or apart. Cabin was so clean and had everything needed for us to cook or grill. About 15 minutes to Cherokee and 20 minutes to Bryson City

Awesome vacation with friends

My husband and I spent 3 nights with two other couples in this beautiful cabin. This cabin sits on the top of a mountain so the views on both sides are breathtaking. The home had everything we needed to relax and enjoy a relaxing and fun filled 3 nights. Wish we could of stayed longer and we will definitely return again

Spring break in the mountains

Our stay was great, the views from the cabin were amazing. The cabin had everything our family needed. Clean and fresh sheets and towels.Did a lot of cooking and some baking.Kitchen was stocked pretty well with pots, pans, baking pans & sheets. Good supplies of spices except for salt and pepper.There were some issues with the gas grill having only one working burner and the awning didn’t not work ☹️ it would have made grilling so much easier and comfortable. Use the fire pit almost every single night we spend there We found firewood outside of Great Smoky Mountain Park for $5 a bundle😃

Christmas at the perfect cabin!

It was a rough year for my family. My dad battling cancer has been a journey and we have gone through a lot together. We really needed this cabin to be a positive add to our much needed time together. It exceeded our expectations and more. Vacasa was great, but what made it all special was the owner’s personal touch into making sure this cabin felt like home. We found Christmas and hospitality in every corner! It was perfect and we are so grateful! My family and I will happily return.

Wouldn't recommend

Booked with Vacasa for a work trip and if I could go back in time and choose something else I would without a doubt. The cleanliness of this cabin was awful. One guest found their bedding to be unwashed and had bodily fluids on it from a past guest. There were dead bugs all over the cabin and live bugs flying around everywhere. The only thing that made this stay worth it was the view of the mountains but other than that it wasn't worth the stay.

Amazing House and Views

This house was great! The drive up the mountain can cause a little anxiety, but it is well worth the views once you reach the top. We did however run into a couple of issues once we got there. When we arrived the door to the cabin was wide open. Not sure if the cleaning crew forgot to close it after they left or what. The dishwasher was throwing an error so we had to was dished by hand. No big deal. We did report it to Vacasa and they said they were going to send someone out to fix it. Most of the trash cans were already full so it was a little challenging try to get all our trash in the bins. Makes sense though. I can't imagine trash being picked up every week. None of that would stop me from going back. This house and the views are well worth it. The sunset over the mountain tops was perfect. 5 stars all day long.

Beautiful home. Air conditioning on main level was not functioning

PLEASE NOTE: This rating would be higher if the air conditioning was functioning on the main level in the cabin. Unfortunately, my parents room were on the main floor. It would be difficult for them to use the stairs to access rooms on any other floors. It did get rather warm during the day and portions of the night which made that area slightly uncomfortable. I contacted guest services immediately on the day I arrived and I was informed someone would reach out. I contacted guest services again the next day b/c I never received an update. I was then informed that the local team was aware of the issue and I would receive an update. I never received any additional information and the issue was not resolved during my stay. Outside of that one issue, the home was very beautiful with amazing views. The kitchen, bathroom and laundry room was equipped with everything we needed. There was enough space for 8 adults to sleep comfortably. Overall we had a very enjoyable time. As mentioned in prior reviews the road leading to the cabin is very narrow and has a few sharp turns if you are not used to navigating through the mountains. I could imagine it would be very difficult to see at night so I would suggest that you plan to arrive while there is daylight.

Big Sky Cabin fun!

I would definitely recommend and look forward to returning. Everything was clean and operational with the exception of the main floor AC unit. Vacasa had someone come out the next day to fix it. The view is stunning. As others stated, the drive to the house is steep and single lane but once you do it once it’s not that bad. There is plenty of bedding and towels. It was stocked really well. Wifi worked well, as well as the TV. Close to the casino and a lot of Cherokee Native American /Tribal land culture shopping. Tips: 1. When entering there’s a really cute sign that cleverly request you don’t wear shoes in the house, so pack house slippers or socks and easy some easy slides/crocs if you’re going to going in and out. 2. Turn on the water when you come inside. The instructions are on the fridge at the time of this review. 3. Sound does travel very well in the house. White noise is helpful at night. 4. Traveling with kids under 2? The stairs are too wide for a standard lower priced baby gate. 5. Also, the Stairs are open under each step. Caution for tiny crawlers. Check lost toys before you leave. 6. There’s a Food Lion grocery store shopping center about 15 minutes away. This shopping center has everything you need. 7. Coming in late at night might be hard. Just remember to keep to the right, you’ll get there. Suggestion to owner: retractable Baby gate on the stairs.
