Colette was one of the best hosts I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Anything you need, she responds. I felt so welcomed. The cabin is comfortable and clean. It was well stocked with everything needed in the kitchen and bathroom. The washer and dryer is small but priceless for a week long stay. I loved watching the bird feeder, porch visiting moths and peaceful location. It wasn’t a long drive Bryson City. I made a day trip to Franklin for some gem mining. The in and out of the driveway was a little scary because I was in a big truck but it’s manageable. I recommend routing your gps/Google Maps before you leave the cabin for your outing. The WiFi was pretty decent. I would love to come back with my family and rent both cabins at the same time.
