This is the first place we have stayed that really has fishing!! So many cabins say they they have a creek that can be fished but this one is legitimate. The property is also really well maintained and the host has great communication. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed our stay! The colorful view of the fall foliage was lovely while enjoying the hot tub. We also enjoyed S'mores by the fire pit and a game of horseshoes and corn hole. It was a nice getaway with family for the weekend. The house was perfect and clean.

Wonderful property. Excellent location surrounded by National Forest game land. For fly anglers, the private access point to the North Fork is a major plus . The house itself is large and functional for an active family. Few hosts are as communicative and helpful as John. Don't hesitate to book, if you're looking for a private retreat with easy access to some of WNC's best recreation!
