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.

Enjoyed our stay, visited Hot Sprogs to get the warm mineral springs. Please reserve in advance, was great. I am going thru chemo and immunized the mineral bath was extremely smoothing to my skin not I want to convert my hot tub/spa Great little restaurant in Marshall, was an old Texaco gas station with old Yellow cab out front. Only downside was The water filter needed to be changed. Strong odor from the well Water.

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.
