Perfect

We had an amazing time staying at this property. We did the train ride through the mountains, white water rafting at NOC, tried (failed lol) fishing, and we were close enough to make a day trip to Pigeon Forge. The area is beautiful and so quiet. You’re close enough to go out and have fun but secluded and quiet when you come home. Absolutely beautiful and had an amazing time. Thank you so much.

Guys Weekend

There were 5 of us that have been friends since high school (or before) that hadn’t seen each other in years. We had a great weekend and LOVED this property! Plenty to do just staying at the house - everything was clean and as described. We had a great weekend and would absolutely stay here again!

Train trip

We came to the area for a train trip through the mountains. We ended up staying at a beautiful home in a very quiet and private area. The owners were awesome and we had a great time. Thanks for everything.

nice place

The place is wonderfully quiet, five miles from a dollar tree, which helps if you forget something at home. The cabin is great, except that we didn't have gas, or at least the fireplace didn't light up for us, and we could barely go down to the play area because it was too cold. Otherwise, we recommend the house, very nice and cozy, and we will definitely go back. We thank you for your work.

Everything is better with Friends

The house was amazing! The pictures didn’t do it justice at all. It was the perfect place for all of us to unwind and relax, the only place we’ve ever stayed that we felt cozy enough that we barely went out. And the lake was so lovely! 1000/10 would recommend this property to everyone!

Beautiful home with a matching view!

My family and I rented this home for our honey moon/ annual trip to Bryson City for the Polar Express. We arrived early and the property manager allowed us to go in early. There was a chicken that hangs around the property and it is the sweetest chicken I have ever met! The chicken let my 5 year old feed it! The home was spacious and cozy. The beds were nice. The home was more than we could have asked for.

Great getaway house

We have a family cabin on Fontana Lake but it's not big enough for everyone so we rented this house for overflow for a big family get together. We wish we could have stayed longer but we soaked in all the porch time we could get and enjoyed every moment. The house has everything you need, and appears just as described. It was clean and tidy and we've talked about staying again in the future. We didn't see the resident chicken some people have mentioned, but we did see some lizards and buzzards. We were sad to leave but were grateful for a quick getaway.

Rafting at NOC

Nice secluded house. We enjoyed the speakeasy downstairs and played several games of pool. Our second night was a cornhole tournament. We also enjoyed the hot tub and cooked a delicious dinner here. We had way too much space for the two of us but absolutely enjoyed our time here. We only had one truck with us and had no issues with the road or driveway. The NOC was less than 20 minutes away. Would love to come back with a couple friends! Thank you for sharing your home!

Motorcycle home base

Beautiful with lots of space to hang out. Surrounded by woods, making it feel very secluded. Only about 15 minutes away from the grocery store and right in the middle of a lot of great motorcycle rides.. After a long day of writing you get to come home and relax in the hot tub. Couldn’t ask for much more. I saw that the homeowner mentioned the Internet can be spotty and we happen to have a Starlink subscription for our Houseboat so we just brought our dish with us and set it up on the back porch that worked great..

Perfect way to get off the grid

Man, this place was secluded, just what we needed. Secluded but a short drive to Bryson City and Nantahala. Lake Fontana is beautiful. Internet at the house was spotty, so if you intend to work remote, take that into consideration. Barely any cell service in the area, either. Lots of dark territory. We 100% will come again, and explore some of the area we didn't get to. Nantahala only got 1/2 day of our time, so thats on the list. Thank you!

Great Mountain getaway spot

I would consider myself on the germaphobe side of things and this house was clean. This got the short getaway off to a great start. The kitchen was also well stocked which was a plus for my chef husband. In this house you are surrounded by trees - my husband's one request. And you had a view of the lake - it is exactly like the pictures online. This host had things you might have forgotten like soap, q-tips, make-up remover, and hair dryer. The TV had multiple different channels to choose from which was great. The location was also perfect easy drive to Cherokee, Bryson City, and the Fontana Dam which was really cool. Last but not least, the indoor corn hole was awesome! I would definitely book again!

Amazing time!

House was better in person than the photos. Even though the photos were awesome, seeing it in person, it was more than we anticipated. Especially the bonus area over the car port with the corn hole set-up. Made for some competition between family members on top of the daily evening pool games. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need and then some. Views were amazing. So many decks to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or sit outside at night and listen to nature and enjoy the evening sky. So close to everything you want to do. Tail of the Dragon, Bryson City, Cherohala Skyway and the Tsali mountain bike trails. We hit them all! The only thing I didn’t like, very minor, was the road up to the house and the driveway. Little sketchy but once you been up and down a few times and you get the “how to turn around” in the driveway, it’s wasn’t bad. We’ll definitely be back!
