"Highly recommended stay. Very cozy and accommodating home with the feel of the outdoors, fire pit, near by lake access, and option to be secluded or not. Nearest restaurants/businesses approx 10 min drive (Inlet), and 20 min to Old Forge. Take screenshots of check in instructions before hand cause cellular is spotty, but once you're on wifi, good to go. The hosts are awesome and very helpful. We loved our stay, part of 4. Thank you!"
