Great family vacation

The house was very clean, well stocked and large enough for our family of 5 and dog to have plenty of space. The view was beautiful and we enjoyed swimming in the private lake. The owners are very helpful and it was overall a great experience.

Nice place, peaceful and secluded location

House is very nice, clean. Communication with the host was great. Unfortunately the internet reliability and speed was not great and we had to cut our stay there short because of it.

Wonderful place

This place was perfect for our family. We had 6 adults 2 children ages 5 and 3 and 2 infants under 2. There were 3 levels which gave each family their own space but also the main level which was great for gathering during the day. Patrick was easy to contact and quick to respond. I would recommend this place for any family gathering.

Couples get away

This house was very nice. Well stocked with items we might need, no cookie sheet or pizza pan! Location is fantastic close to many things. There is a steep hill down to the lake, a house next door that is really close and a pretty busy road on the other side but over all it was so quiet and beautiful. The owner communicated quickly and were very helpful. We would stay again and would bring more people! It was clean, quiet, close to fishing/hiking with plenty of room! Also for those who care which we did not; there are no TVs in the bedrooms.

Christmas trip

House was nice, clean and overall great for our family. But parking was not good! If you have more than two cars pick another home. Also don’t go in rainy weather. Driveway is very bad and almost needs a 4 wheel drive in good weather. Very steep steps out front and twice as many in back of home. Again home is great but driveway and parking is not

Perfect Getaway for our Family of 8

Loved our stay at Mallard Cove, the home was wonderful and the perfect size for our family of 4 teenagers, parents and grandparents. The home had everything we needed and the Christmas decorations were lovely. The fireplace and rocking chairs on the deck were a fav, also the view of the pond and surrounding area was nice. The home was clean except for one issue, the stove had something spilled in the bottom of it, looked like grease, so we were unable to use it. Thankfully, there are two full kitchens so we were able to use the one downstairs. The hosts were very responsive, I had one question during our stay and they were quick to accommodate. I would recommend this home and would stay again!

Beautiful Getaway

The house was very clean and well stocked. The owners respond right away if you need anything or have questions. The location was perfectly centered for all activities. We did white water rafting , kayaking and swimming at lake Fontana, while my husband enjoyed the tail of the dragon. All of which is in close proximity to the house. Our family consists of adults, teens, young adults and everyone had a wonderful stay. We make this trip yearly and I look forward to staying at Mallard Cove again.

Had everything we needed

Parking is a bit of an issue. 1 car is okay 2 is manageable but 3 won't work. The house is very nice, comfortable and clean. Check-in was a bit stressful but it all worked out. I believe the pond has been over fished to the point of there not really being any fish in there which was a bit of a disappointment to some of our party. I would recommend this place to others.

Everything was awesome and quiet! It wasn't too far from everything we wanted to do, we fished, we shopped, we rode some of the good curvy roads. Fishing wasn't all that great because of the full moon. We had a great time overall. Thank you!

We Love This Place!

My wife and I really enjoyed the stay. We love this home. We enjoyed it even with the rain, the perfect place to spend time. The only thing we had an issue with is that all the beds have really firm mattresses. Really firm let me tell you. Just be prepared for that if you stay.

Annual motorcycle trip

The home is beautiful and in a good location for the motorcycle riding we intended to do. Extremely peaceful and quiet. Very enjoyable to sit on the deck having coffee while overlooking the pond. Bryson City being only 15 min away has everything we needed for supplies. Gravel road to house has several tight turns and is quite steep which got a bit washed out with the rains during our visit. Not very suited for big motorcycles but we were able to make arrangements to park our bikes next door. Real nice neighbor. Overall a very nice place. Would highly recommend.

Great little getaway

Everything was as listed in the add. If or when I return to ride Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap I will stay here again. Had everything we needed. Tucked away in the mountain with a private lake that had a dock for fishing or swimming. The grounds were very well maintained. Even the dirt roads were maintained no potholes or ditches. Was a bit challenging getting out 4 door f350 with dual axle 20’ enclosed trailer back to the house but we made it. Hosts were friendly and readily available.
