We never attempted to contact the hosts because we just didn't need to! The cabin was easy to find. Getting up to the cabin on the steep, narrow, mostly-gravel road was a bit scary and challenging without FWD, but once there, everything about it was wonderful! It was very comfortable, well-stocked with everything you would need, and had beautiful views, as promised. With plenty of puzzles, table games to play, and dvd's to watch, we never used the hot tub, but kept busy with plenty to entertain us, for the times we were there after our daily jaunts. Other than the sketchy drive up the mountain to get there, we couldn't have chosen a better, more centrally-located place to stay for all of the relaxing things available to do nearby. Thanks for your hospitality!

Excellent is all I can say. The Cabin, the view, the directions to get there. Everything worked, the cabin was well stocked. There are 3 Hummingbird feeders on the deck. It was fun watching one male ruby throat trying to keep all three to himself.

Wonderful Thanksgiving Getaway

We were pleasantly surprised when arriving at the cabin- the pictures did not do it justice! The owners were so friendly and responsive to our messages leading up to our stay. The cabin was beautiful, clean, and had a well stocked kitchen for preparing meals. The views were gorgeous. We hope to be back! I do suggest an SUV or Truck for accessing the cabin.

What a view!!!

Location can't be beat. Within 10 minute drive to Bryson City, which is a charming little town. Million dollar views. The drive up the mountain should not be an issue, even without a 4WD vehicle. No close by neighbors, so very private property. The cabin is very well taken care of, nicely decorated, clean, well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. Convenient location to several great hiking and bicycling trails. Highly recommended: 5 stars all around.

Majestic Mountain Views

Wow…The location & views are amazing, no doubt, and we had an excellent time during our stay. However, the drive up is pretty scary(to those of us who are not used to the mountains) & I would stress that someone be an experienced driver & have vehicles that can handle the terrain of the unpaved roads. I would suggest this be stressed within the listing itself as well, so that people like us, coming all the way from (very flat) Florida are prepared for the harrowing journey up the mountain! Also, please make sure to read the instructions on how to find the place after you book, that is a little tricky as well. Communication was excellent & over all, I would highly recommend this place if you’re looking for spectacular Mountain View’s & serene surroundings! Once you figure it all out, it’s very worth it, despite the initial stress. Thank you for the opportunity to experience an unforgettable vacation!
