We had a wonderful time hiking, driving, exploring, etc.., but we enjoyed the views and privacy the most.

Our family really enjoyed the game room when we were there, with the foosball table being our favorite. My husband loved the old arcade choices on the arcade game--took us back to our youth! We came to ride the Carolina Shine car (recommend!) and ride around checking out antique and thrift stores and mom & pop restaurants. The Round House was a perfect base to come back to. It was rainy weather so we didn't hang out too much on the deck, but it was a nice, secluded place and I know that must be a really great thing to do in the mornings or at sunset with your coffee! Enjoyed the hot tub! A bit unnerving when we realized there were no curtains to close at night in the main area (we've see a lot of movies!), but it was ok. Loved the shapes of the rooms - unique! We ride UTV's in West Virginia a lot and joked about needing our rides to get up part of the drive, but we were fine in our F150. Loved the short distance to Bryson City. Only negative thing we noticed was that with the spiral staircase being open, the TV downstairs and the one upstairs were sometimes dueling for which could be louder over the other! #firstworldproblems #wecanovercome
5-stars - thanks to the owners for their thoughtfulness going into the house for a great stay!

Beautiful cabin! Property was well done. Amenities were fantastic. Great for families. Property management company was clear and communitive about everything before our stay. The cabin is not far from town at all, I would advise a truck or SUV to get to the cabin, a low riding car may have difficulty with some parts. Fireplace was easy to start and warmed the whole house. Hot tub is nice! Location is SUPER quiet and private, didn't have one car come down the street in 4 days. Very clean and very nice. View is good and cabin is super cozy without being small. Would absolutely go back!
