This place was absolutely gorgeous, breathtaking, and serene. Pics can't even do it justice! The whooshing sound of the rushing watwrfall creek every morning with coffee is also the perfect white noise for a peaceful nights sleep. My kid loved exploring and playing in it too! The mountain air is fresh, with hints of floral in the breeze from the beautiful plants all around the property. Everything I hoped for and needed. And so welcoming with all the little added touches and "extras"... we had a blast putting together the Smithsonian T-rex puzzle and playing checkers, apples to apples, and the hook string game! Hot tub and fire pit were so great to have too, topping it all off for a perfect getaway. It's close to everything you'd want to do in Maggie Valley and Cherokee and Soco Falls/hiking as well, but you almost won't ever want to leave the cabin! It's a truly magical special place Owner is great too! Very communicative, flexible, and kind. If I could give 20 stars, I would.
