Great cabin. We enjoyed drinking morning coffee next to the creek. Secluded but not far from Bryson City or Smokies. Highly recommend if you want accommodations outside of town.
Beautiful spot with gourmet amenities in the kitchen...every detail thought out! Overhead fans and a standing fan that was important to this aged woman. Super clean. Lots of fun decor. Every bed was comfy! Technology was excellent! Just cannot say enough about the nature around that house. It is a place that is loved and taken care of.... cheers to the owners for providing us this amazing space.
A literal hidden trail! Tucked into the top plot of a hillside, there rests a cozy hidden cabin slowly gathering moss that covers some covers the small creek beside. Hot tub, hidden meadow, multiple fire places and fog rolling over the hills. We stayed for our anniversary and loved the character of the inside.

Loved the old charm of the cabin, check in was a breeze, it could have been a little cleaner. The cabin was a little dusty, the refrigerator freezer was very dirty, and the down stairs bathroom toilet was dirty as someone had used it. Other than that it was a nice place.

I did not get a message or a phone call with any issues during your stay. I was in the cabin right before your stay and the cabin wasn't dusty or dirty.
A beautiful rustic cabin set in a serene setting. The cabin was very comfortable and cozy. The hot tub was perfect next to the babbling stream. I highly recommend staying here. Communication with the owner was timely and welcomed. Can’t wait to go back!
Perhaps the best cabin we have stayed at. The property was amazing with plenty of acreage to explore. Loved the two fire pits. Also loved the indoor fireplace which was so cozy. We caught 15lbs of trout right down the road at the trout pond. Host gets 5 stars for quick response. We will definitely like to go back.

Thank you for the fabulous review. Glad you all enjoyed your stay.

We loved the cabin. Some of the people we encountered weren't quite so friendly, but the "neighbors" don't have any bearing on my review. The hot tub was excellent and the cabin was just as described. My only real recommendation would be to make that one curve in the driveway a little easier to maneuver. The lawn maintenance crew showed up with a truck and trailer and seemed to have no trouble, but my little SUV is light, and we slid around a bit. With the rain, our last day there was a little rough climbing that one turn and hill. Other than that, we loved it. We did take a wrong turn on our first drive in, and ended up at the wrong place. I probably need better navigation than Google maps! Also, the gravel roads are narrow with a few hairpin turns, so go slow. You never know when someone might be coming the other way! My daughter is already asking when we can stay again. We thoroughly enjoyed the cabin, and found the owner's description to be spot-on. Also, the water tasted great to me right out of the sink. The icemaker does work, but our last dag the ice was very sparse. I may have hit a wrong button on the panel. Be careful which buttons you press if you don't know how to program things. I don't have any complaints and would definitely stay again. We loved the place!
Enjoyed hanging out every evening and cooking just to stay there

Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy
The hot tub was ice cold upon arrival. Couldn't use it until the next day. Extremely disappointing. The cabin is very old and could use a very thorough cleaning as well as several cosmetic repairs. The last five minutes of the drive was anxiety filled. The road goes from asphalt to a treacherous gravel road with sharp curves that you cannot see around and the last turn to the driveway was difficult for even our Durango to maneuver. However, the cabin is very peaceful with the creek running beside it.

You booked a cabin in the mountains, which is not flat. The hot tub had been drained and cleaned Friday morning! When the guest sent a message, I called them and told them and asked what the temperature was and they said they didn't know. The pictures of Serenity Falls are exactly what it looks like so you knew what you booked. If you wanted to rent a cabin that was a 2026 cabin, you should have booked it.
Absolutely wonderful place! Great communication, well equipped. Nothing like sitting in a hot tub while you can hear a babbling Brook next to you and have a fire right next to you. The trout farm a mile away is a must if you like fresh rainbow trout. Will be back!

My wife and I had a wonderful stay. The secluded location with the firepit and hot tub were just what we wanted. Beautiful area with several waterfalls very nearby.

Pet Rent is a total of $70.00 per reservation. When a pet has been a Guest, special cleaning procedures are performed and specific products are used. Our goal is to make sure no one can tell that there has been a pet on the premises. Please call or email me to ask about our pet policies as they relate to your request.
