This property was cozy and clean. The view was beautiful and it was relaxing soaking in the hot tub in the evenings looking over the mountains. The hosts were kind and welcoming. They thought of all the supplies we needed! Would definitely stay here again and recommend.
The cabin was very cozy and comfortable, and we enjoyed our stay very much. The view was just fantastic into the mountains. I enjoyed the morning walk with my dog.Lots of games and things to do in the cabin you’re not getting bored anytime soon. We enjoyed our stay very much.
Wonderful location, just 20 minutes to Bryson City, and easy driving distance to amazing roads and hikes. Very well appointed, the owner obviously makes a distinct effort to make the cabin as good as possible.
It was a fabulous place for our getaway. The outdoor space was exceptional. The hot tub and views were spectacular. Even in the drizzly weather, we were able to enjoy the outdoors with the seating and games on the lower deck. There were thoughtful amenities inside and outside the cabin. The property manager was responsive and helpful.

Rest and relaxation
Our stay was great. My wife and I have been coming to this area for over 30 years. This house was great. The view was awesome, as well. The house was well stocked with everything needed to make your stay perfect. The host communicated everything with us before arriving and after arriving. He reached out to make sure everything was going well after we arrived. We also requested an earlier check-in which was done, but unfortunately we ran into traffic and didn't get there any earlier. The hot tub was enjoyable and the deck was great for just relaxing and sitting. Thanks again. Danny and Lorian
Loved our stay! Accommodated our family of 6 and 2 dogs perfectly. Very clean, lots of amenities that weren’t even listed. Loved the hot tub after a very cold day in the town. Just what our family needed during the holidays.
I loved this cabin since it was so close to many beautiful hiking spots and had literally everything you could ever ask for. It was incredibly well stocked with pans, spices, washer/dryer etc. The host was incredibly communicative and was very quick to respond to questions. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting some peace anf quiet for a perfect getaway. Btw the views and hot tub are amazing!

Beautiful Cabin
We absolutely loved our stay at this charming cabin. The cabin is beautifully decorated and stocked with everything you could think. The hot tub was a nice treat after talking walks around the area. The cabin is also located in quiet and peaceful small neighborhood with great walking trails and swimming all around it. We will for sure be back to visit.

Remote Work and Mountain Weekend
We had a wonderful time staying at this cabin in Almond, NC. The house was incredibly well stocked and we felt right at home. It was comfortable and cozy, yet still had the modern amenities we needed. The view was spectacular and we really enjoyed sitting out on the deck and using the hot tub. We worked remote during our stay. The internet held up well, other than one large thunderstorm one of the nights, which is to be expected. We were even able to stream the NBA playoffs without issue, other than during the storm. I'd highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking for a spot to enjoy nature. There is so much hiking right nearby. The drive to the cabin is easy and the whole neighborhood is great, with the shared lake down by the main road.

Absolutely AMAZING cabin
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful and well stocked cabin in Almond, NC. The cabin was perfect for our group. Tastefully decorated, yet cozy too. The views from the deck are breathtaking. The cabin is centrally located to Bryson City, Cherokee, Asheville to name a few. The property is well maintained with so much to do if you choose to spend your time there. There are lovely trails and a stocked pond. A nice hammock for a nap while listening to the many birds that will surely sing you to sleep! Hot tub, grill, well equipped kitchen. Couldn’t ask for any better!
The property was beautifully done. We enjoyed the cabin look and tastefully decorated for the season. Very well stocked for everything you need for your stay. The view of the mountains is breathtaking from the back porch. Enjoy the sunsets! Cabin is very cozy and comfortable. When we return to enjoy the NC mountains…we will definitely book again. Very close to Fontana Lakes and the Dam. Close to Bryson City, Cherokee and the Smokey Mountains. Close to the Blue Ridge Parkway. If you enjoyed walking and hiking like we did. The area near the home has many. We enjoyed the day and evening hikes in the mountains. The gravel roads to the home could look scary but as long as you are driving slowly and during the day you should be fine. We drove to the home on a suburban and we were fine.

Great little cabin
Cabin was clean and has wonderful linens, cookware, outlet availability, WiFi and cookware/dishes/utensils. Deck has great views, comfortable seating choices and chiminea for warm fires. Very pet friendly. Wonderful welcome tray of goodies and coffee choices provided. Great spice selection for cooking. Updated appliances, but ice trays for making ice. Bottled water provided. Washer/dryer very convenient for longer stays. Master bed is very soft, which some people probably like. Lots of steps to go from parking walk-in down to main living room and kitchen. Kitchen is cozy, so not a lot of counter/grocery space. Bathroom has limited counter space for toiletries/toothbrushes. Overall, great choice for our visit. We had a wonderful long weekend.
I took my mom here for her first retirement vacation. It was her first cabin stay ever and it was everything she had dreamed of and more. Couldn't have asked for a better stay. There are honestly so many amenities that we didn't even have to use half the stuff we brought. Plenty of supplies to make fires, quality tools, kitchenware and seasonings for cooking, lots of entertainment (when we discovered the entire deck underneath the top deck, we were blown away!). The view, the hot tub, the lighting, the deck was a dream. The layout of the house was perfectly cozy but gave us the perfect amount of room we needed for the two of us. We would have been just as comfortable bringing two more people. Everything was clean and the communication with the host was spectacular and was very accommodating to our needs when it came to our check in and out times. All in all a perfect trip. We also really appreciated the streaming services that were available on the TV so that we didn't have to sign into our own. Only things I have to remark on where that we couldn't figure out how to turn on the fireplace. We followed the instructions in the manual from the binder but it still wasn't lighting. Maybe it was out of gas. Also the DVD player remote in the living room was not responding (dead batteries?). I also couldn't figure out how to connect the Vizio sound system to the tv. But we were more than happy without those things and had a splendid time with all the accommodations. Thank you!!
