I cannot say enough wonderful things about our host, or the gorgeous tiny cabin! Our host thought of EVERYTHING that could make a place feel like home away from home. I would list things but, I don‘t want to spoil the surprises for anyone! I will say that we enjoyed our stay so much that we extended it, which was easy as pie to do!! We miss it already, and we can’t wait to go back! 5 STARS ARE NOT ENOUGH!

A Gem of a place!

This place is awesome -- it's just hidden away enough to insure privacy and space, with all the amenities you could ask for. The view of the mountains is incredible, and I enjoyed watching the beautiful sunsets each evening. There is an individual campfire at each site, which I loved. Being close to Bryson City and also the Nantahala Outdoor Center is a big plus, providing lots to do during the daytime. In the evening it was lovely to come back to a quiet spot and rest. The host was terrific -- professional, polite, and just plain nice! I will definitely come back again!!
