The cabin was beautiful everything that was advertised. The views were incredible and the stay was just fantastic. Highly encourage you to stay at this property. Check-in was easy and all of the details were provided for me.
Remote, rustic cabin had an awesome view of Nantahala Lake! Both the owner and property manager were very kind and user friendly.

Nice place
Nice cabin. Fantastic views. Easiest way to get up the cabin is from Rhododendron drive. Much better road and a front wheel drive vehicle can make it up to the cabin.
Great cabin, very comforting stay. Definitely do not take their warning of a steep driveway lightly, this is very much off the beaten path and you will absolutely need a good off road vehicle to get there as the entire path up to the cabin is a challenging climb especially if you enter on the same road as is on the address, I do not recommend that thought there is a much easier pathway if you enter at Rhodendron Dr instead.
We had the best time here celebrating a 25th birthday! The cabin is wonderful for hanging out with beautiful views or if you want to venture out to enjoy the lake or surrounding forests. They even provided supplies to make smores over the fire, which we so appreciated. Only complaint was the drive up, two of our cars had a really hard time on Ridge Top Drive, but the other road - Rhododedron - is significantly less scary.
