Great Weekend Getaway

Perfect 10/10

We loved every bit of our stay! The views were incredible and it was very secluded and private! However there is a cute little town not too far so everything is very convenient!! If you are looking to stay in and cook it's perfect and fully equipped to make full meals, or a grill to cook outdoors! If you choose to go out, there are tons of restaurants nearby! Best of both worlds! We made a fire @ roasted smore's every night and had a great family bonding experience ❤️

Great Cabin

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin was exceptionally clean and we enjoyed the hot tub. The kitchen accessories; pans, skillets, cooking utensils, etc. were very well stocked. Location is close to Sylva & Dillsboro. The mountain top views were incredible; be sure to see at least one sunrise!

Quiet mountain seclusion

We had 4 adults in our party but would have been comfortable with 6. We chose this location for the views and it didn’t disappoint. Would recommend a truck or SUV to get to location. We wanted a grill, fire pit, and hot tub and it had all 3! WiFi was very good. Sitting on rocking chairs on front porch in with your morning coffee was special. 15-20 minutes from casino and we also did hiking and kayaking in the area. Would go again!

Amazing

This property is amazing, the landscape, the home and the property managers are truly incredible. My wife and I were there during Hurricane Helene and we lost power and water for 2+ days. The property company Sundog brought us water up the mountain to the cabin for us . They're amazing and the property is stunning and beyond clean ✌️💜

Great stay

Weekend getaway was spectacular. The home was spotless, and inviting. We grilled out multiple nights, and everything we needed was in the well-stocked kitchen. Our boys (3 and 5) loved their bunk room at night, and exploring the property during the day. The overlook perched on the hillside behind the house was a great spot to check out at the fall colors. Roasting marshmallows over the fire pit was their favorite way to end the day. The home was great but we chose it due to its convenience to our favorite fall activities. Short drive to Blue Ridge parkway, Great Smoky Mountains National Park and great smoky mountains railroad. Even the management company was prompt and helpful when we found an error in the WiFi password. No complaints and looking forward to booking another stay soon.

Refreshing Mountain Home with views and comfort

Our family's stay at Wanderlust was exceptional. From the views to the comfort of the home, we were impressed and refreshed. The living room had great views, was furnished comfortably, and was stocked with movies and great books (local birds, maps, etc). The kitchen was well stocked and very clean. Details were considered in the items provided for us. The bedrooms were cozy, specious and well organized. Our favorite being the sunroom with beautiful views, adorable bunk beds with personal lights and fans for the children. However, the mattress in the master bedroom is very done in/squishy. The surrounding walking trails on the property were fun to explore and many nights spent by the fire recounting the greatness of our God in His beautiful creation. We are excited to come back again if the Lord wills and stay at this mountain home away from home. Note: the driveway is very steep. We had a van without 4WD and struggled to get up it.

Great Place to Stay!

We reserve Wanderlust Ridge whenever my family comes into town to visit. It's well located - just a hop from Sylva/Dillsboro - and is a nice property. We like that it is private and secluded but not too remote and has great views. The house itself has good flow and is very comfortable, from the beds to the recliners and sofa. It is also very clean, which we appreciate. When we go up and visit, the kids like to play in the great room, the one with the high windows and built-in bunks, while the adults chill in the living room space. This visit, we took advantage of the hot tub on a chilly night. The view of the stars from there is fantastic. High speed internet is available and cell service is good as well. I also want to shout out to the management company and owners who worked with us during an unexpected power/internet outage. They did a great job communicating with us and getting information from the owners about the outages. Finally, wrap up when leaving is pretty easy - unlike some other places that have many chores. We can't recommend Wanderlust Ridge enough; it's a wonderful place for a mountain getaway.
