We loved this place. This large mountain house that overlooks a gorgeous lake is wonderful. The lake is low this time of year but it still didn’t deter the beauty of the lake surrounded by mountains. We loved everything about this house. The game room was great to hang out and play games on the pool table and foosball. We used the pontoon boat to ride around and just enjoy the surroundings. Highly recommend. It does cost extra but I feel it’s worth it. Just be prepared for a lot of steps in the house and outside but it is on a side of a mountain and the house is massive so we felt we got our exercise in. lol. The owner Greg and caretaker were very nice and always answered our questions in a timely matter. Thanks again for a wonderful stay.

Starting at the bottom floor - 1st floor - game room & half bath 2nd floor - master bedroom, theater, laundry room & half bath 3rd floor - Living, dining, kitchen, full bath & 3 bedrooms (This level has the front door). 4th floor - 2nd master bedroom & small landing Pros: -Comes with a pontoon boat that you can rent (small motor). -Great communication w/ owner. -Pool table & hot tub. -Ample parking compared to the neighbors. -Plenty of kitchen gadgets & cookware. -Grill stocked w/ propane. -Water at dock is deep and easy to swim in. -Beautiful setting. Cons: -140+ stairs 1-way to the dock. -Stairs to the water are fairly old and very slippery (We had 1 person and a dog fall on them). -One section of the descent to the lake doesn't even have stairs, just a mud/root area. -1 lane gravel road getting to the house. -Rentable pontoon boat doesn't leave the dock if you don't rent it. (We rented a jet skis and a pontoon with larger motor from the marina and it was a pain to dock all of it with the other pontoon there). -Lots of check out rules. -Small kitchen considering size of house -Dealing w/ the trash is AWFUL. (Instructions said trash drop off was open on certain days but those days were wrong, & pretty difficult to find - you'll be surprised how much trash you make in a week....). -Simple things like toilet paper & dish soap are NOT provided. -Wifi password was on a scrap of paper shoved in a box with random stuff. -Internet is pretty bad. -Only 1 TV would work.

The owners were amazing to work with, great location on the lake. The home was much larger than expected and the game room was excellent.

It was ok. The entire cabin needed a good cleaning. Walls and ceilings were very dusty. Also none of the pathway lights worked. And the steps and walk way leadi f to the cabin were in very bad shape and was not easy to walk with babies and elderly people. We will not be staying there again.

The house is far bigger than expected and it was a nice surprise. I would recommend putting better photos to receive more bookings. The WiFi comments are all true. There is no cell phone reception within a 10 mile radius of house which is a little scary until you get connected to internet. Trash Drop off is 27 minutes away from house. Would be ideal to share the working hours of location before driving there. Other than that the house itself is perfect.

The house was very nice, but it was obvious it had not been stayed in recently. The kitchen was well equipped. The hot tub worked well. There was plenty of room for 8 adults and 3 young children and we all had a great stay. The area is beautiful and remote. Parking was creative with a van, suv, and 2 mid-size cars. A sign in the kitchen said that we had to supply our own internet. We left a message for a property owner. Donna promptly returned our call. She was extremely nice and helpful. We had found the password for the free wifi by then. We let Donna know that lightbulbs needed replaced, fireplaces were not working, and slats on the stairs to the dock needed replaced. She had the repairman come out promptly and most of it was fixed. We contacted the repairman directly during the week (per instructions) concerning a garbage disposal clog, but he never returned the call. We let Donna know about contacting the repairman, the propane living room fireplace never turning on, the garbage disposal, and a broken refrigerator bin when we left as someone else was arriving after us and figured she would want to have some of that fixed. We also let her know that the trash disposal place was closed on the day we left (Friday) as trash is not supposed to be left in the house. We cleaned the house and took our trash with us. It has been over a week since we left and I am still waiting for our pet and house deposit to be refunded.

The property has so much potential given the location and amazing lake views however a lot of TLC and maintenance needs to be done. The pictures listed do not accurately show the current status of the house which include large overgrowth of plants starting to impede on the stairway to the boat dock, a poorly functioning AC unit requiring window units in a few of the bedrooms, trash underneath the cabin and scattered around the fire pit area to name a few. Like another renter stated you don’t feel welcomed into the cabin for your time there, it would be nice if the host could make you feel more welcomed upon arrival. Again a lot of potential but a little elbow grease would go a long way!

We stayed for a week and enjoyed spending time on the lake. Dock is spacious and equipped even with the rental boat there on the opposite side. Plenty of room for our 21' boat and close to the public ramp. Parked 3 cars and our boat trailer in the drive through parking area with no difficulty. House has great NC cabin decor and finishes which we love. Kitchen has everything you need to cook. Grill on the deck lights easy and cooks well. Kids loved the game and movie rooms. Weather was good so we spent most time outside. Bedrooms are spacious and beds are comfortable. Hot tub was nice after a day on the water. We took advantage of the NOC close by and went whitewater rafting and took the Great Smokey Mountain Train out of Bryson City for a ride on 2 different days. Only thing that gets you a little are the stairs to the dock, but we expected that and they are no worse than any other house there with these awesome views. Good workout frankly. Would definitely stay again.
