My husband and I really enjoyed staying at Gentry's Rest Stop 2 for a few days. The house is comfortably furnished and well-equipped. Honestly, I could have stayed on the back deck all day listening to the creek, but we did venture out to places close by: the Blue Ridge Parkway, Barber Orchard Fruit Stand outside Waynesville (happened to be there for opening day!), and Lake Junaluska to enjoy the beautiful gardens on the grounds. We are looking forward to future stays.

Nice place. Quiet and peaceful.

Easy access, back porch very comfotable as you can sit and listen to the creek.

I stayed all week with my 80 year old mother, sister, and chihuahua Babee. Mom was able to move about the cabin and get from the car into the cabin with no problems. It was so peaceful and quiet. You can hear the creek outback and watch the chipmunks in the mornings. We stayed 7 days and enjoyed everything the area has to offer. The cabin is absolutely spotless and even better than I expected. I definitely plan to stay again.

Quiet, secluded, peaceful and relaxing.

We had so much fun! We saw elk right out our front door, it was so nice to relax in the hot tub after a day of hiking, the house was clean, and the view out back was gorgeous! Everything was perfect!

This is a cute place and overall great. There is a lot of "stuff" in this house- like decorations, dust-collectors, etc. way more than I have seen in a vacation house and the only problem I have with that is that we saw a roach in the kitchen and couldn't take care of it because there is so much kitchen clutter. There are LOTS of supplies for just about any purpose, but not great pots and pans. The policy of having guests wash and put away all their own dishes is not my preference because people might have different cleaning methods and while we hope they do a great job, we pulled out a couple of kitchen items that didn't seem to have been put away clean. Personally, I would prefer if the policy was to put everything in the dishwasher and start it before leaving so the professionals can determine if everything is clean enough. The stuff on the porch makes it hard to walk around, but the check in process was easy, beds were clean and comfortable, plenty of water pressure, hot tub very clean and nice!

This cabin is great. It is perfect for families with kids. Our kids are 7 and 9, and they absolutely loved it. They played out back by the creek and said that was their favorite part of our trip! Getting to and from the shops, Tube World, and restaurants was an easy drive. The kids room that has bunk beds was so cute! Lots of toys and very cozy feel. Really, the entire cabin was very cozy. The gas fireplace was awesome. The kitchen has everything you need to cook! We went grocery shopping and cooked most of our meals there. We did try Joey's Pancake house which was SOOOO good! The hot tub was great, the beds were comfy, and the place was very clean. We met the neighbors dog, Dorothy, who is the sweetest! Our kids were so sad to leave her! Rhonda was very kind, and let us know about a winter storm warning on our last night there. She even told our kids that if it did snow, she had sleds for them to use! It didn't end up snowing (just rain), but what a sweet gesture! All in all, we loved it here and would absolutely stay again. We are already thinking about heading back in the fall to see the leaves changed color. TIP: make sure you listen to Rhonda's recommendation to print out the welcome packet she sends! We didn't and had no cell service, so didn't know the code to get in. Thankfully, even though it was 9pm, she came and let us in! Thanks so much Rhonda! You made our family vacation wonderful!
