Gorgeous views and relaxing stay

This home has amazing views. You are on top of the Mountain so yes the driveway was long and mountainous but we had no issues in our SUV. Clean and comfortable stay. Temps were so much cooler. We had an amazing tranquil stay. If looking for a place to enjoy nature and the quiet this is it.

Awesome Visit

The location is off the beaten path. The driveway was an adventure but that's what made it cool. The location is about 40 minutes from some of the more major hiking opportunities if that's what you're into. Great space for hanging out, cooking, and enjoying family time.

Super clean.

My mother traveled with us & she’s an over the top clean freak. She commented on how clean everything was upon entering the cabin. So it was definitely clean. Loved the privacy & enjoyed the Mountain views from the hot tub. We had a great stay!

Review about my stay

Very nice house. The pictures of the property were accurate. Our stay was very enjoyable with beautiful views. The only downfall about the house is the internet was spotty and you needed to leave the house to make a phone call. The bed in the downstairs bedroom was quite uncomfortable, but overall we would definitely go back.

Private, Relaxing, Peaceful, Super Dog-friendly

This is our first time travelling with our rescue pup (3 year old lab/pit mix) and it was amazing. The house is 100% dog friendly with a gated deck area, a nice dog run, and a large crate already set up for dogs that are crate trained. Our pup enjoyed plenty of time to run around, fetch sticks, and generally exhaust himself hiking around the property with us. Our only quibble is that the gas tanks on the grill were empty and we had been looking forward to grilling a few meals while we were there. But highly recommend this property and we hope to come back again to enjoy it.

Nice property.

Nice property with amazing views. The property was clean with comfortable furnishings. The property is remote but for the privacy the drive was not bad at all( I have had a lot harder, Narrow but not steep). The only reason I don't give a 5 star is there are a couple of thing that could be updated. The TVs( they don't support all Apps, Youtube TV) and the Heating and AC. The heat worked well( not sure about the ac) But there are different types of Propane heaters and baseboard heaters in different rooms.

Nice Visit

The house was very roomy. We loved the privacy and the porch the best. I do want to say that the driveway is something that needs to be noted. The neighbors that live on the property line have put no trespassing signs up everywhere. These signs make you feel every uncomfortable as you drive the long, narrow driveway! With nowhere to turn around you have to keep driving no matter the level of discomfort. Just keep driving to the top. We will go back!

We had a great time at this location. It was comfortable with many spaces to relax, a great kitchen, and very comfortable beds. We loved the hot tub - it was isolated but not covered by any tress, which was nice. It did get hot with there being no AC - but it was manageable since it was May. I don't know how it'd be in the dead of summer though. WiFi and cell service worked fine for me. The only time there was an issue was when Netflix was playing on the tv and I was trying to download a show on my iPad. But once I paused Netflix the download worked fine.

Mountain top excursion

This house was perfect for me and my 4 teenagers. The teens needed their own space and had a blast playing ping-pong and cards every night. The house was nice and clean and the kitchen was well stocked, so we could cook dinner every night. The deck around the house was very spacious and we used the hot tub every night. The weather was perfect in the mornings (even in August) for a walk down the mountain road and back up (which is a real challenge). The drive up the mountain is an adventure and I'm grateful to have read the other reviews about "keep going" to the top. We would plan 1 trip a day, so we would only go up and down once per day and back before it was dark out. But it's a beautiful location, lots of space and we enjoyed every minute. Be sure to read the other reviews about the drive up/ parking. There was a new hammock installed, but sadly, the posts were not dug deep enough and fell over when my daughter sat in it (needs to be fixed). There were enough towels for us for showering but recommend packing extras for water sports/ swimming/ waterfalls/ tubing. There were new gates built on the ends of the deck, guessing they will also add one to the staircase, which will be SO helpful for families with younger children and for pets. There was no central A/C, but the window units in the bedrooms and one in the living room was plenty and kept everyone cool. It was fun being so high up and isolated, the kids enjoyed being able to explore the woods and I (mom) was not worried about anyone just driving by. The wifi worked well (password is lowercase) for kids to use their phones but was slow for laptop/ computer use (no working on vacation). If you enjoy a slightly adventurous drive, looking for a space to get away but large enough for your family- I would highly recommend this home!

Great house once you’re there.

This house has everything you need once you get there but the getting there is the hard part. Winding, narrow unpaved mountain road. You need four wheel drive to access the portion leading to the “driveway”. Great outdoor wrap around patio and comfortable furnishings in living room and master bedroom (we only used master as it was just me and my husband). Very spacious set up for more people though. Great set up for our dogs.

I would not recommend this house

Until they update the house with linen, fix the dishwasher and dryer, put some more gravel on the road up and clean the trees that can scratch your car. It was definitely not ready for us to check in, but it has potential. I'd say stay away for now until they can update some things.

House was clean and stocked well. The hot tub was a winner for my husband. The gas grill had to be lite with a lighter or it wouldnt light. The wrap around porch was nice for the dogs with gates to each end but one had nothing so we had to make shift a barrier for our pets not to escape. The road was narrow, rain ruts and scratched up our GMC 3500 Denali pickup truck from overgrowth of shrubs not being trimmed. We left 3 days early due to weather conditions and uncertainty of the travel back down the mountain. It was TO QUIET FOR US. IT WAS A ERIE QUIET. We only saw 1 bird and one squirrel. We wont be returning.

Wonderfully relaxing and fun

We enjoyed our weekend getaway. Went on the great Smokey mountain railway super fun time. Shopped downtown. So many great hole in the wall places to eat. House was clean and spacious. We didn’t have issues with wifi. Able to use phones and laptop but cell service was slow. Which we expect when going to the mountains so not huge deal for us. Will definitely be back
