About this house rental
Our 70-acre private cove opens to a small rolling pasture enclosed by a dense natural forest. Skinner Spring Cove is a registered Tree Farm with the North Carolina Division of Forestry. Miles of logging paths traverse the property allowing guests to leisurely explore the natural habitat.
The deck faces The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, with sunsets that shine behind Clingmans Dome in the distance.
Built in historic Thomas Valley, the Peacock Family Lodge makes a modern day return to our early American roots. Whole log construction and furnishings brought from our grandfather's Pennsylvania farm, the atmosphere of this rustic log house is one of simplicity and authenticity. The great room features scissor beams that vault high overhead and an immense stone hearth. It is a warm and welcoming lodge.

We stayed here because we wanted to be close to the Polar Express at Byron City. The location was great. In fact, our drive to Byron City Polar express from the house, literally passed right by the Santa Clause destination, which then afforded us a second look, which was a real treasure to the children. The house is on top of the mountain and presented us with great views, exactly as the pictures on the listing described. We spoke to Ann, communication was great. We would definitely stay there again.

Our daughter got married at The Parker Mill so the location was great for driving back and forth on Friday and Saturday. However, I was a little disappointed to find out that the description of the property was not accurate to my specifications. I was expecting the "70 acre private cove" to be... well private. The property has a keeper on site. Like 30 yards away. Whoever did the pictures did a great job cropping the house out of the shots.
Overall, the house was great!

Cabin was loaded with beautiful antique furniture. Well maintained, comfortable beds & new well equipped kitchen. Expansive view from the deck, complete with really comfortable seating and a new grill. Amenities and linens where excellent. Stone drive in would not be suitable for touring motorcycles, we did make it thanks to the amazing property manager. Many thanks for all her help and hospitality!

When my son graduated from high school this past June, all he wanted was to see the Great Smokey Mountains, so I surprised him with this getaway. He, along with a few buddies and two Dads, had the best time! Not only is the whole area of the Great Smokey Mountains breathtaking, but the cabin was PERFECT! The rooms were spacious, beautifully decorated, well maintained, house well stocked with the basics and the owner was wonderful to communicate with. It was an amazing trip and one the boys will never forget! Thank you again!!!!

We had a wonderful stay at the Peacock family lodge. There was plenty of room for all eight of us to spread out and have a space of our own. The lodge had lots of character and was very clean. Location was perfect with a short drive to all sorts of activities. I will definitely look for availability due our next trip to this area.

Wonderful Whittier Lodge
We had a wonderful stay at this amazing mountain lodge. Built 45 years ago, it is still owned and loved by the original family, and it shows. The place is just wonderful. It's large, but cozy. It had everything we needed. The architecture on the inside, particularly the scissor beams, is impressive. The communication, both with the owner and the property manager was excellent, with quick and informative responses. We look forward to returning to this property.

This place was awesome!! It was our first vacation as a family. I became engaged on the breath taking deck. We enjoyed family dinner, board games and made memories that will last a life time. The bedrooms and beds were super comfortable. The cabin was super clean and very close to all the activities we wanted to do. The deck was where we spent most of the time. The scenery and tranquility were unforgettable. We've already started looking dates for next year so we can book this again for a week and make it our annual family vacation spot.

Incredible stay
From start to finish, this was a wonderful experience. Ann was very accommodating and quick to answer any questions or concerns. The property is breathtaking in and of itself, but upon entering the home, it was so much more than I could have imagined! Beautifully decorated, well appointed in every aspect, so many special touches and so very comfortable. It felt like coming home. The caretaker, Becky, was helpful, very kind and patient with all our questions. We enjoyed every moment of our stay and made some wonderful memories! We are trying to make plans to return to this little piece of heaven, as soon as possible!

Peaceful, Rustic Escape
Tucked high up on a Smoky Mountain Tree Farm, this rustic log cabin home has a charming history and a peaceful vibe. Lovely porch views, comfy beds, and a well-appointed kitchen made this a perfect spot for our family to relax. The location is central to all the things we love: rafting, golf, hiking, fishing. The place is spotless, fully stocked with quality linens and supplies, and roomy enough for a larger group. Beautiful antiques tell a unique story and add to the charm. Our teenagers were happy to have good Internet and a smart TV, as well as a big grill! Our only caveat is that the bedrooms were hot, but we understand that's being fixed.

It was the most relaxing mini vacation. We all loved it!!
It was better than home. Extremely Clean and cozy, it had everything we could’ve needed in the kitchen and bathrooms. It even had a piano which my daughter enjoyed very much. Becky was super nice, and even her dog lucky was very cute and friendly.

Great old log cabin
We had a lovely week in Skinner Sring Cove. The cabin is huge, and it has a wonderful living room where you can enjoy family gathering.
It is in the middle of the woods, but with a terrace oriented to a clear from where you can enjoy awesome sunsets.
Do not miss a walk around the house to watch the amazing fireflies that makes the place somehow magical.
The location is perfect if you want to do south Smoky Mountain National Park hikes, A lot of river and lake activities too,
Becky and Ann where all the time reachable and helpful.
5* for the house, the owner, the caretaker and the experience.
