View from the cabin through the hills was amazing. Property was EXACTLY as described. Perfectly clean, up to date, everything you would want/need for a great stay in the mountains. 20 minutes to Tsali, 30 min to blue ridge parkway, 30 min to Smokey mtn national park, 15 min into Bryson City!

Our fall vacation 10/27-11/1
We had a really relaxed enjoyable time in this cabin. We'll stocked, clean and the view was beautiful. Very clean hot tub and the firepit was awesome. Rap around porch, many board games and videos. Saw deer below us which was a treat. There were 2 skylight bulbs out over the living room and down stairs was was one but it didn't really effect us. The gas fire place was nice too! Thank you again!
The cabin was awesome, but not motorcycle accessible
I was stuck with hauling everyone up and down because of the bad driveway, didn't get to ride my like I planned, too tell you the truth I'd like my money back because of the description on one of the photos saying ( paved driveway and accessible)
