We hit the jackpot with this cabin!! I truly don't have a negative thing to say about it. Our family of 4 stayed here for the weekend (our kids are 1 and 4) and had a wonderful time. The cabin is a true log cabin, but it is brand new and has all the modern amenities. It was stocked with everything, super family/kid-friendly, it was extremely clean, well organized, and John & Tammi are very communicative and thoughtful. I just wish we'd had a few more days to enjoy it! We would definitely stay here again if we make the trip up here next year.
The location is amazing... Gorgeous mountain views without the endless miles of winding roads. It does have a steep gravel driveway, but we made it without 4WD. It's close to multiple quaint towns with adorable shops, good restaurants, etc. We picked this area to be close to Bryson City for the Polar Express, but our favorite outing was in Dillsboro to see the Christmas lights & luminaries which John & Tammi recommended. We ordered dinner to go from Foragers Canteen, and they brought it to us at the brewery next door, Innovation Station. The food and beer were delicious... and they have an area outside for the kids to play with a beautiful view of the lights. It was magical!!
