The rental was so cute and clean. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was amazing. We unfortunately were only able to stay the weekend and never got a chance to use the hot tub but we did look at it on arrival. It was very clean and felt nice and warm.

The property was extremely clean and well described and appeared exactly as photographed. Communication with the host was easy and convenient and the check in/out process was smooth. The house had lovely upgrades and amenities! The road into the property was a typical, hilly mountain road so be prepared for that. We loved the quiet and conveniently located neighborhood. Only a couple of small things would have made our stay better but they were minor (cooking spray, curtains over open windows, hooks in bathroom) We would love to stay here again!

We stayed here four nights in July 2025. The house is attractive and feels surprisingly spacious despite the modest size. The front room has a high ceiling and lots of windows. The bedroom is roomy and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped with a large fridge, and the bathroom contains a large shower with nice design features. We appreciated having the washer and dryer, and the front porch was a great place to drink coffee and watch bunnies in the mornings! The location is convenient to Bryson City, Cherokee, Sylva, Deep Creek and lots more. Reaching the house requires a short drive along a one-lane road with some blind curves, which was a little nerve-wracking the first few times. But all in all, this is a great little house!

Short vacation

Wouldn’t have changed absolutely NOTHING about the home! Only thing that was disappointing was we had to leave a day early due to being self employed. One of the BEST properties we have ever stayed in loved it!!
