The house was just what we needed. We wanted a house in the middle between Bryson City and Maggie Valley. Every morning and evening coming back in the Elk were everywhere. The house was in a quiet area away from everyone. Sitting on the front porch was so relaxing. Host was very quick to answer.

We found the home to be very clean and had everything to make our stay comfortable. The host was so helpful with our last minute booking! And I can’t say enough about the location, it was located in the nation park and we were greeted by large herd of elk every time went drove down the driveway. We will definitely book this home again when visiting the Smokies.
