Kayak an inflatable stand up paddle board available for guest use at Finger Lake. Finger lake is just down the road and is easily accessible for kayaking and paddle boarding.

All communication should be within the platform. I will return messages and assist as quickly as possible.

Great Cabin!
We had a great stay at this cabin. Was nice and secluded while still only being 20 minutes from downtown Bryson City. Interior of the cabin was very nice, only issue was some of the lightbulbs were burned out but not a big issue at all.

Honeymoon Stay
The place was beautiful and comfy! I had a hard time receiving info for the check-in process, but the host was quick to answer my call and help me get the information I needed. We spent most of our trip out and about in the area, so we didn’t get to take advantage of the hot tub. The road getting to the house was hard to find, but once we found it, we never struggled again. It was a nice quaint place to rest our heads as we explored the area for our honeymoon.

Ambience
Great location. Easy to get to. Parking easy. The inside was very sterile, not updated and not warm and inviting like a "cabin" should be in my opinion. We have rental property as well, but this property was set up as if there was a fear of property items being stolen. There could be more decor and update the curtains that were dingy and old.

Great Stay
Overall this is a nice little place to stay for a weekend getaway. Hot tub had to be cleaned prior to our check in which meant that it was not ready to use until 9pm which was a bummer but, we understand things happen. Communication with the host was excellent. Liked the 11am checkout, didn't feel rushed to check out even after sleeping in and getting in one more soak in the hot tub. Would stay again if we are in the area!

Great place
This was such a great cabin for a stay near Bryson City. It was cozy, clean, and extremely beautiful! The outdoor spaces were perfect and the inside fit our needs perfectly. The beds were even comfortable! If you do visit this location, Cardinal Coffee down the road is phenomenal for breakfast and coffee.

House Review
My biggest issue was with the cleanliness of the property. The garbage can in the upstairs bathroom still has refuse from the previous visitors. The bottom of the freezer in the refrigerator was filthy. The kitchen sink and faucet were dirty. Windows throughout were dirty. Lightbulbs in the fixture above the dining table and in the upstairs bedroom were out. The worst issue was that the shower tub in the upstairs bathroom would not drain and filled up to about the 2" mark in about 30 seconds. You ended up taking a shower in a tub of dirty water. There was no garbage can outside to remove our refuse as is requested in your check-out instructions. The fire pit area was a mess.

Property was perfect. Feels very private. Enjoyed the hot tub after various hikes and kayaking ventures. We were looking for a weekend to relax and just be together & this was definitely the perfect place for that.

We had a great time, and really enjoyed the property!
We had a great trip and really enjoyed the beautiful property! The house had many games, and fun things to do! It was pretty clean but could use some repairs and updates, wishing the kitchen was better equipped - we love to cook! Loved the side yard with the fire pit! This is a tradition for our family every year - we have found 2 touches that we absolutely love when staying at any cabin for the holiday - Christmas decorations make it feel so much more special and we were highly disappointed that you can’t have a fire indoors at the fireplace ( but we’re told this in advance, which was appreciated).

Excellent place to stay! Beautiful scenery. Just lover it. Hot tub was an added bonus!
Only suggestion is curtains or blinds in bathrooms and maybe 8 towels instead of 4. Everything though was absolutely wonderful and would stay here again.
