It is a beautiful, serene home with plenty of amenities and spots for relaxation. Close to John Campbell Folk School, it afforded me an opportunity to take a class while my husband took advantage of the many well kept hiking trails in the parks close to Brasstown. He and our dogs, who were welcome in the cabin, had lots of fun taking in the beauty of North Carolina’s stunning beauty. This impeccable home was a joy for all.
