    This house was perfect for a 3 person fishing trip to NC.

    5/5

    The cabin is really high up in the mountains with beautiful views. Loved it being so quiet and peaceful. We loved the gas fireplace, no firewood to bring in and no clean up. You hardly needed to have the heat on even for the upstairs. That fireplace really warmed up the cabin! Even with the cold weather, I still had my coffee on the porch every morning. I loved it!

    The owners were fantastic, helpful with anything we needed! Answered our phone calls or text immediately.

    It did get down to 2*. So, if you're looking for some good cold weather, January and probably February is the time to go. Just have 4-wheel drive for those roads.

    There's a spacious fenced in area for your four-legged baby. Ours had a blast running around in it, first time she ever saw ice and snow. Just remember their jacket and booties for their paws.

    We always take our grandson with us to NC. We have missed the snow every year but this one. He loved the experience of seeing real snow. He loves Scaly Mtn for snow tubing. Had it been warmer, we would've gone gem mining. There are a few mines to go to.

    Hope to go back, but probably in the spring or fall. Most places are closed up for the winter, so there isn't a lot to do.

    Grandson wanted ice cream, so we had ice cream at Heavenly Fudge (yummy) in Bryson City. But with having our dog-we had to eat it outside. She also had a cup of ice cream. Lol. That was an experience!

    Bryson City has a lot of nice shops, friendly folks and pet friendly town.

    If you go--you will enjoy your stay!

    If you want a quiet getaway in the woods (on top of a mountain actually) then you will love this property. The views are breathtaking from the front porch. The house is nice and comfortable. I will say the couch has seen better days, but the indoor fireplace was a nice touch. There is not wood provided for the outdoor fire pit FYI. The property managers were responsive and helpful to our questions. I will caution the drive leading up to the house is tricky and somewhat difficult to find-with huge drop offs to the side of you. And then there’s the driveway to the house. Very steep with a curve and again a drop off to the left of you. Definitely recommend 4wheel drive or a big car that can handle it. It was a bit daunting. Other than that, we had a nice stay and the dogs loved it too!

    Property was well maintained and clean. The owners were super responsive and even took a late night call when we couldn’t find where to go due to rain and dense fog. Loved the views and the space. Plan to stay here again.

    Getting to the cabin is an adventure. Fortunately our map continued to work for the full drive up the steep, gravel roads. If not, we may not have found it with very limited markings along the way. Be aware that it seems to take a vehicle with a little more umph to get up to the cabin and should have higher clearance. Once at the cabin, getting in was easy. Lighting is one area that lost points for the stay. The main living area is dark with minimal lighting. There were three of us for the stay and we were only alotted 3 towels for the entire stay meaning use multiple times or do laundry while your on vacation. The cabin itself is very nice and comfortable. Overall, we did enjoy our stay but thought a little more forewarning regarding the drive was necessary.
