We came up to go to my college graduation from WCU. Friday was my 49th birthday, graduation on Saturday then ended on Mother’s Day Sunday! There four generations there for the weekend and everyone had the most amazing time. My four year old grandson was never bored, between the jacuzzi, air hockey, arcade game, Lincoln logs and fire pit…he was able to find something fun to do from sun up to sun down! My mother-in-law, husband and 2 sons played a very competitive game of pool while the rest of us chilled out on the couches. The many chairs on the beautiful porches gave us many options of quiet places to sit and laugh and make more memories . We enjoyed our traditional low-country-boil out on the spacious picnic tables. The convenient check-in and check-out process made this trip even more stress free! I cannot think of one thing that the amazing host,Alex, could have done to have made it a better place to stay! I highly recommend this place and we are definitely looking at coming back!

Good location close to Bryson City but up on a nearby mountain. House was great, everything was as advertised and kitchen utensils are very well stocked, along with a pretty much brand new Weber grill. Overall it was exactly what we were looking for.

At first the road concerned us (a little narrow and rustic for .5 miles), but the destination is Hallmark movie worthy. The feeling is isolated, but there are neighbors. Plenty of space for multiple families. Refrigerator is huge for all of the food we brought. We didn't have to run into town for any basics. As the grandparents, my husband and I were grateful for the bedroom and on-suite on the main level.

The cabin was very comfortable and just as advertised. We had three families and each had their own floor with bedrooms. It worked perfectly for us. We will be back to visit again

From the moment we booked until the moment we left everything was perfect! We have three grown children and arranging family vacations is hard with everyone's busy schedules, careers, spouses, etc. But this mommas heart isn't ready to give up these precious moments. This house was perfect to accommodate everyone with their own bedroom, and provided plenty of bathroom space. The owners have thought of everything to make this home away from home experience warm and welcoming. An abundance of activities for us to spend time together instead of in front of a TV or tablet/phone. We cooked out, had smores over the open fire under the stars, played pool, airhockey, arcade games, and cards while listening to music and talking for hours. We really enjoyed sitting on the back porch in the mornings sipping coffee. It was so peaceful and relaxing. We did not take advatange of the hot tub, but it was clean and would have been perfect for a dip. The pond in the community was great for and evening stroll, fishing or swimming. Our boys brought their mountain bikes and were just a few minutes away from the awesome Tsali trails. They had a blast and I believe that was the highlight of their trip. I booked a guided fly fishing trip for the 6 of us with Fontana Guides had a great time wet wading in the river casting flies and trying to land a few trout. I believe our daughter is hooked and will be back again again to fly fish. Check-in/checkout was a breeze! We will definitely be back
