This cabin was perfect for our fall getaway with friends. There were 4 couples and there was plenty of room! We loved the wonderful centralized location to Maggie Valley, Waynesville, Lake Junaluska and elk watching in the Cataloochee Valley. We used the firepit 2 of our 4 nights there and the lighting and ambiance was perfect. The outdoor deck and hammock were nice places to hang out and see the beautiful fall foliage. This cabin was everything we expected and so much more and Zachary and Amy were great to work with. We highly recommend it!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cabin. It was very spacious enabling our large group to enjoy their stay without feeling crowded. The cabin was clean upon arrival. Communication prior to our arrival was exceptional, the host offered valuable information regarding what to expect upon arrival. The host and property manager were very accommodating with questions during our stay. The grandkids loved the outdoor play areas and constantly utilized them throughout our stay. The fire pit surrounded by the two streams was a very nice relaxing touch. The s'mores at the fire pit were a hit with the entire group.We have stayed at many cabins in the past, but none were stocked as well as this cabin as far as cooking utensils, coffee makers, etc. We hope this cabin will be available for our future trips to the mountains. Absolutely loved it!

My mom, sister, daughters and I had a wonderful, relaxing stay at this beautiful cabin! The grounds are amazing with a creek forming the fire pit island and the super cool kids' obstacle course. Extras were provided that are not usually provided by VRBO hosts like shampoo/body wash, coffee/tea pods and creamer. It was obvious the owner wants his guests to enjoy the cabin and feel welcome. His online guest guide was very detailed and very helpful. We hope to return one day with the rest of our family!

A three year old and a mountain stream is a combination that never fails. That creek is the reason I bought this place to begin with. Glad the house gave your family room to spread out. Come back and see us! Zachary

Smokey Mountain Dream was beyond our expectations! The grounds were a playground for adults and children from the babbling creek, the canopy of trees, the trails, the rabbits, the swings, the children’s obstacle course, the birds, fire flies and flowers, and the 2 fire pits. The cabin was perfect for 5 adults and 4 children. The house was well stocked with necessities and the furnishings enhanced the mountain experience. The proximity of the cabin to town, the Blue Ridge, Asheville, and Deep Creek was a plus.

What a lovely thing to read. You noticed the fireflies and the rabbits, which is exactly what I was hoping people would find out there. Nine of you in the house with room to spare is what this layout is built for. Great having your family here. Come back and see us! Zachary

My family had their 2nd stay at this property. There were many improvements from 5 years ago. Last time we stayed the grandkids had the best time in the steam/creek. This time was no different. They would have been happy just playing in the water looking for salamanders again this time. The house has a lot of room for all ten of us. Grandkids are 12,9,8 & 4 years of age. Seating by the fire making s’mores and listening to the stream was also fun for the kids and very relaxing for the adults. Our host was very quick to respond and has a lot of information of things to do in the area. Had a great time again!!

We enjoyed our visit. Well maintained property. Excellent outdoor space. They even provided firewood for the fire pits. You could hear the stream from the house if you opened the window. The host was very responsive

Hearing the creek through an open window is my favorite thing about this house, so I am glad you found it. The firewood is there because a fire pit with no wood is just a hole in the ground. Great having you, and come back and see us! Zachary

House is clean and well maintained. Well appointed and has everything you need to get started for a long trip or make it through a weekend. Outdoor space is super kid friendly. Beds comfy, and great water pressure. House is on the Johnathan creek side of town if you’re familiar with the area, which means about 17-20 mins to downtown Waynesville and 10-15 for Maggie Valley. Would and will likely book again. Great spot

You gave the drive times better than I do. Jonathan Creek side is exactly right, and it is a big part of why the road stays paved and easy the whole way in. Glad the outdoor space worked for the kids and that the water pressure held up for a full house. Come back and see us! Zachary
