Phenomenal for distancing and relaxing

Cant say enough about the location and the cabin. I wanted something "away from people" for my birthday, and this was exactly it! Close enough to civilization with great wi-fi, but also felt isolated. The sound of the stream 24/7 was amazing. 11/10 -- definitely coming back. Will try to post video if I can figure out how.

Paradise!

This house is so amazing with its rustic interior, but the river/creek was very special with its rushing sound over the rocks! It could be seen and heard throughout the house. It is so private and peaceful! There were other homes to see walking, which was nice not to be so isolated. We were entertained by the bullfrogs in the pond with the lily pads. We saw a couple of blue herons, which was exciting! It was wonderful to have all the linens and other necessities provided. My husband and I hope to go back since we have family that live in that area.

Beautiful Cabin

My dog my dad 76 and I 31 wanted a nice get away to the mountains. We live 10min from the ocean in Maryland so mountains just amaze us. This place was perfect. We enjoyed listening to the river, we visited many waterfalls , Asheville, went to Gatlingburg and explored all around the surroundings area.

Favorite Mountain Getaway

Wonderful, secluded mountain spot great for couples or families. Perfect spot to fish and explore in the creek, hike, or relax. Located near small town eating and shopping, with larger adventures a little further away. Our family has chosen this spot multiple times.

He's four years old, but still has all the playful spirit of a puppy, so expect lots of happy tail wags. It's been a lifelong dream of ours to have a cozy cabin nestled in the beautiful Western North Carolina mountains. After years of dreaming, we finally made it happen, and now we're so excited to share our special retreat with you. We've poured our hearts into making this space comfortable and welcoming, a place where you can create your own unforgettable memories. We hope you feel right at home and enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the area as much as we do!
