Cozy Cabin

We would highly recommend staying at this cabin. The host was friendly and made our family (humans & fur-babies) feel welcome. The cabin is well-maintained and met all of our needs. It truly felt like we were in a home away from home.

Great stay at on top of a Barn

The family really enjoyed our time at Michael's place. We especially loved the sunsets, Michael's pup, hummingbirds, and playing board games on the deck. The place was extremely clean and accommodating. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Just came back from spending 7 days at the Alarka cabin with my wife and two grown sons. We really enjoyed it. The setting is peaceful and beautiful and within easy driving distance of both the Nantahala National Forest and the Great Smokey Mountains NP. Michael is a fabulous host - very friendly and with great recommendations for hiking and other recreational activities.

Incredible week in the Great Smoky Mountains

The reviews are spot on. Mike is an incredible host and super helpful suggesting great hikes and things to do in the Smoky Mountains and surrounding areas. We went horseback riding, saw black bears, went on amazing waterfall hikes, and discovered beautiful spring wildflowers everywhere. Definitely a trip to remember!

Sweet Barn Cabin

Cute barn cabin with awesome views and hospitality. This cabin is smaller than we are used to but clean and accommodating. Has everything you need. We brought our two dogs with us, we hate leaving them home: We came to visit the GSMR! Great location, close to all, pet friendly and would definitely stay here again! ♥️

This property is a converted barn that is really comfortable to stay in. It's in a rural area but just a 2 mile drive into town. The owners have put a lot of thought into providing anything of the little things that you might need. The internet reception is very good. Communication was great, I would definitely stay here again.

Fabulous place if you want isolation during the pandemic.

Unfortunately, we had problems with internet connection during our stay. However, our host was very friendly and helpful. This place is a perfect getaway location, very private and close to Bryson City and the NOC. It’s a bit rustic, but has all amenities one would need. This was our second visit and we will be back!

Beautiful relaxing weekend in the North Carolina Mountains

We had a very relaxing weekend here. The view from the porch is absolutely breathtaking. Grill some burgers and sit on the porch and watch the sunset. The host Michael is very nice. My husband took full advantage of the excellent fishing here. That made him very happy! After a fun-filled day the bed was so comfortable we did not want to get out of it. We will be returning to enjoy this quaint little cottage.

Just what we were looking for!

This small, unique cottage is not elaborate, but had all the things my brother and I (Ages 79, 80) were looking for in an "out of the way" location. Shopping BEFORE arriving is helpful because the nearest Grocery is several miles away. It is in driving distance of many wonderful places to see in the NC mountains. Not for everyone - but for us - it was great!

This is such a great little cabin. We wished we were able to stay a couple extra days. It's a nice small little cabin, perfect for us two and our dog. There is a mild pet odor, but that's to be expected with allowing pets to stay. It didn't bother us one bit. Our dog loved the open space and the deck is a fantastic place to just sit, relax and enjoy the view. We would absolutely come back to stay any time! I'd recommend this stay to anyone.

Before arrival the owner, Michael, let us know details with directions, access codes etc. He was extremely helpful & hospitable! He has a dog and I was traveling with my monsters, they had a blast with her!! The renovated barn is authentic, cozy, comfortable, full of amenities and very nice vibe. We didn't need for anything! Im definitely going back!

I can't say enough good things about this stay.The cabin was perfect. Amenities were more than expected. Spices, cooking oil, cookware, coffeemaker and Keurig. Beds were comfortable. Host was amazing. Even Enola (his dog) was friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend staying here if in the area. We will definitely stay here again if we are in the area.

Smoky Mountain Getaway

I was looking for a cabin with a view for my first trip to the Smokies. This one didn't disappoint. Our host welcomed us, checked in on us, and made sure we had everything we needed. The cabin is well equipped, and has everything you need, down to the smallest details. It might not be the fanciest cabin out there, but I'll take comfort and kindness over fancy any day. I would stay here again.
