Property was very clean and had a beautiful river right outside. Not typically a fan of anything but hotels, but this had everything you might need! Hosts were also very responsive when we had any questions!

Wonderful spot for a couple and their pet! (singular) we had a minor mixup and booked before confirmation that two dogs would be permitted but were able to come to an agreement with the host and our stay was lovely.

It’s a great place to stay. The little cabin has everything you need to stay comfortably. Near downtown Dillsboro for a quick bite but isolated enough to be quiet. The view of the river is also a plus. I’ll definitely be back for my next year motorcycle trip. CD
