Wife and I were visiting the Smokies to see the fall colors and selected this gem for our stay. Think of it as a BIG tiny home. It has plenty of room for two and a pull-out couch for the littles if you need it. It is incredibly well appointed, quiet and very cozy. Bed was very comfortable! Also of note, there were snacks, water and a few sodas in the fridge. A very nice touch. The cherry on top was the decoration for fall and a bit of halloween. It is well off the beaten path out of Bryson City and Franklin NC. But not a bad drive, if a little twisty. Owners are on property, but we didn't see anyone. And communication was EXCELLENT! Couldn't recommend this property more highly.

The place was amazing! They decorated, it's so nicely.It was like being at something disney would do. It was a little tricky going back and a little intimidating, but it was so beautiful.We loved every minute of it. It's definitely the perfect getaway to get away from the hustle bustle. And everything you could want was in the cabin. We didn't have to look for anything. It was just right where you thought it would be. He was absolutely amazing. Thanks for such a great place.We will definitely stay again
