Very private, nice location,kichen is over packed with everything that you need for you stay.Nice and comfortable furniture the owners were thinking about everything that you needed .We really enjoyed our stay! It was home away from home Wewiswcould stay longer
Very clean, lovely cabin- right off the interstate so a bit of a drive to anything. No trash service at all- you have to take your own trash to the dump- which is closed on Sunday- be warned if you are a weekend guest with pets. Cabin itself is excellent, plenty of supplies and great views, peaceful area excellent for relaxing.
We had an wonderful relaxing getaway with our long time friends! The Propery manager was SUPER to work with...had a few questions on how Helene had affected thing! The town was incredibly welcoming!
The cabin is absolutely beautiful!! This was our 1 year old puppy's first vacation and she loved it too, sniffed every square inch of the cabin (LOL). All the amenities we could ask for.
Thanks again for letting us stay.
My family had an amazing time during our Presidents Day weekend getaway. The cabin is beautiful and just the right amenities. Anyone looking to spend a few days in the mountains- this is your place!
My family came to Waynesville for a wedding but we decided to stay a week and make the most of the area. The cabin was a perfect place for my family and pups and like so many others said, it was well stocked. There was nothing I needed that wasn’t in that cabin. The neighborhood was nice too and my kids loved the donkey at the gate of the community. Overall, the cabin was perfect for us and exactly what we needed. If we ever come back down, we’d definitely choose to stay here again.
This cabin was amazing! We loved it! It had everything you could ever need. We did not want to leave. We had the best time and will definitely be back!
This cabin is beautiful! The cleanliness was the best we have ever seen! The house had everything we needed and more. The porch was so relaxing!!! Comfy beds, great decor and furniture. The only feedback would be the porch doesnt have a gate for four legged members of the family so be sure to bring a baby gate or something to block that exit point.
Cabin was beautiful and very clean. Loved the fenced area for our dog. Very well stocked with the bare necessities until you can get to the grocery store. Very satisfied
We loved this cabin. So much beauty surrounded us and we loved the huge porch. The cabin is decorated in the best possible way and is equipped with everything that you would need. Whoever does the cleaning is exceptional!!! We can not say enough about this beautiful place. Such a great way to spend my birthday!
A great, warm, cozy little cabin that was the perfect size for a family of 4 plus 2 dogs. Very pet friendly with the fenced backyard. The location was central to many hiking destinations as well as Catalochee ski area. Would absolutely recommend and stay here again. A gate would be a great addition to the front porch to keep in pets and small children. Thank you for the perfect winter getaway!
