Favorite Mountain Getaway

Wonderful, secluded mountain spot great for couples or families. Perfect spot to fish and explore in the creek, hike, or relax. Located near small town eating and shopping, with larger adventures a little further away. Our family has chosen this spot multiple times.

Phenomenal for distancing and relaxing

Cant say enough about the location and the cabin. I wanted something "away from people" for my birthday, and this was exactly it! Close enough to civilization with great wi-fi, but also felt isolated. The sound of the stream 24/7 was amazing. 11/10 -- definitely coming back. Will try to post video if I can figure out how.

This house is super comfortable and makes you feel at home. Not mentioning the chanting creek in front of it, the privacy and the fire pit. We all loved the place and Deb was always there to ready to help if necessary and answer all my questions about the area. Not to miss!

Beautiful Cabin

My dog my dad 76 and I 31 wanted a nice get away to the mountains. We live 10min from the ocean in Maryland so mountains just amaze us. This place was perfect. We enjoyed listening to the river, we visited many waterfalls , Asheville, went to Gatlingburg and explored all around the surroundings area. Thank you for allowing my dad and I to spend some quality time together.
