Nice accommodations

House was very nice. Kitchen needs to be better equipped. Basement was great for the kids. Lots of room. Outside trash containers not designed to keep critters out. Drive to the house once in the neighborhood was narrow and winding. Not wide enough to pass another vehicle safely. Would not stay again only because of the road in.

We Loved It!

Such a beautiful house with everything you could possibly need. The well stocked game room in the basement gave us hours of fun! The home is close to attractions and has waterfalls in the neighborhood! Would 100% go back!

We loved this cabin! This was the first luxury cabin we’ve stayed in for a mountain vacation and I’m hooked. We had a problem the first time with losing water pressure during showers and the owner sent a maintenance man out the next morning. Communication was great, they responded to texts within a couple of hours or less. We did figure out that you can run the washer or dishwasher during showers, or those two things at the same time. It did not ruin our stay, but it was unexpected. The drive up the mountain was very winding and fairly steep, hit we’ve driven worse to get to our destination before. The view is always worth it! I will be looking for Watershed Cabins to stay in for future trips to the mountains! The management was super!

Dangerous road

Road to the house is dangerous to drive especially at night! Guests should be warned that road is narrow, mountain road with lots of twists and turns. Lighting is not adequate for finding the house in the dark. House is very nice and we enjoyed staying there and going to Bryson City for Polar Express.
