Well they weren’t lying about the 4WD but the neighbors in passing seemed friendly and shared the road in. Once you get up to the house, you really don’t need to leave. The fire pit is perfect, we didn’t get eaten up by bugs and enjoyed making s’mores! Grab some wood in town and buy a lighter. The hot tub was hot on arrival, we adults spent a whole day recouping from our drive. The front porch has amazing views, we had some rain roll through and the valley was just gorgeous. There’s also a screened in porch w gas grill, we didn’t use that area. Kitchen was equipped with everything you need, can opener is a little out dated.. bring the cans you can pull open. There is a large fridge and freezer, which was awesome! Thankful to have had a laundry area and two bathrooms for our family stay. The WiFi worked well enough for kids to play video games and stream a show before bed. We couldn’t figure out their living room tv set up but the bedroom downstairs has dish tv. We brought our own Xbox and had no problem connecting to or using the internet in the living room. Water is hot, which was refreshing for a “northern” home. The A/C worked great, set to lowest 73 degrees on cold in summer. There’s ceiling fans also! Lots of great food options in the area, a Walmart and grocery close by and many family attractions. We drove into Cherokee, Asheville and Gatlinburg during our stay. We would definitely stay again, it was perfect for our family of 4 and two other relatives.
