We found a private little gem! Enjoyed our stay for the weekend. We loved all the personal touches to make our stay one to remember.

Just wonderful. The husband and wife owner met us when we arrived to welcome us and provide keys. They live on the property. Both are very nice. We didn’t see them for the rest of the stay, and their house is far enough away to provide plenty of privacy. In fact, the house felt wonderfully remote despite being so close to a major road. It is a new build, and obviously very well put together. Everything you will need in the kitchen including sharp knives (I find the knives in VRBO houses are often very dull). The bedrooms and bathrooms are very clean. There is a very nice fire pit. My kids say that the WiFi only provides 4 megabits per second, which I guess is less than we have back home. But it was plenty of megabits for me. We had an amazing time and would definitely return if we vacation in the area again.

The host was amazing, very communicative and helpful. The location is as described, close to hiking, biking, fishing, and rafting. It's nestled in the woods with a steep and winding gravel driveway, a perfectly serene and tranquil place. I wouldn't want to navigate the driveway on a Harley, but most vehicles would have no problem. The kitchen and sleeping accommodations had all you could ask for. A gas grill. They even had a blender for my daily protein smoothy. There is a firepit, complete with chairs and wood. Plenty of room for all of us to stretch out, and come together for games or a movie. I loved my morning coffee in a rocker on the front porch looking at the squirrels and birds. The SmartTV was having challenges due to the internet service while we were there. A testament to how great Ray and Ann are, they bent over backwards to get it working, and ultimately the service provider fixed a bad line and it was back in business. There's so much to do in this area, and this home was a great launching point for our family!

We had a fabulous stay here. Within 1.5 hrs for day trips to Asheville, Gatlinburg, and Murphy. Easy drive to Bryson City, close to great hiking spots, but also pleasant enough to just chill and do some front porch sitting. Ann was very responsive to questions, check in and check out was easy. The house is clean, well stocked and beautifully decorated, we felt right at home. Driveway might be intimidating, but my minivan handled it with no problems ( I was worried by other reviews). We had Internet connection issues, but had good cell signal. We took time to relax read, and watched a DVD we had in the car. I totally recommend this place and would stay here again anytime.

If you like to be close to town but away from everything. This is the property for you. The owner meet you at the property to show you where everything is and answer any questions. I will recommend this to anyone who will be visiting the area.

The owners of this cabin make our experience extra special. The cabin was extremely clean, kitchen was fully equipped with daily needs, bedrooms extremely comfortable, bathrooms well supplied with linens and the washer and dryer was fantastic. The location was perfect and the Mountain View was beautiful and my grandson loved the fire pit for roasting marshmallows. We will be back for future vacations and highly recommend this cabin to family, friends and others looking for a great private mountain get away.

The host is very professional and friendly. My friends and my wife were very satisfied with this place. If the host has an Instagram tag of this place, feel free to let us know. We would like to add it!

The cabin was beautiful, clean, and very well set up for family stays: great kitchen, laundry, indoor and outdoor fireplaces, and just great facilities. The house is new and everything is in great condition.

As someone in a earlier post stated " the photos don't do it justice". This home looks like it's brand new. The dinner ware and pots and pans are better than my own. Ann and Ray met us when we arrived and are the nicest folks. They are the kind of neighbors you want to have.

My family and I spent our Fall break in Ray and Ann's cabin. They greeted us for check-in, gave us basic instructions for the house, and gave us suggestions for things to do in the area. They left their number with me should we have any issues or questions, making themselves readily available. The cabin was decorated so nicely for the fall, which was such a nice touch. The inside was very nice and very clean and the perfect amount of space for my family of five. The outdoor space had a lovely firepit, complete with firewood ready to go. My husband and kids enjoyed the long driveway for running around and riding bikes. The location was away from crowds but easy access to all of the activities in the area. I would highly recommend this cabin as a great spot to land for the family getaway in North Carolina.

Everything about this house was perfect! We stayed here two nights. The bed was clean and so comfortable. It was so quiet and just relaxing. The house is tastefully decorated and the setting on the mountain was amazing. The clean up check list was not over bearing and very simple when it was time to leave. We definitely will be recommending this place to family and friends. Pictures of this place do not do it justice. We were about 45 minutes from the Tail of the dragon at Deals Gap.

Ray and Ann were great hosts! The house was exactly as described. We were very comfortable and felt that the location was fabulous. Very easy access to out planned Nantahala Outdoor Center excursion as well as downtown Bryson City. Just wish we'd had more time to spend in town and relax more at the house.

Totally appreciate hosts attention to detail and ez communication from booking to leaving. Location is very convenient for us.

Clean, comfortable for family of 4. Great location, close to a lot of outdoor activities and fun!

Ray and Ann have a beautiful home in the mountains. The space was perfect for our family of six. It was close to fishing, hiking, tubing and other adventures in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Fontana Lake area. We loved the fire pit and front and back porches. The home was located in a more remote area than we expected, but it was an easy drive to gas, groceries and attractions. The steep, uphill gravel driveway is intimidating at first but is well maintained. We would definitely stay there again.

We had six couples split between this property and another. Those who stayed here were very pleased with all that this property offered. Before our stay, Ray and Ann were quick to respond to any questions we had and very easy to work with. From the greeting we received from Ray and Ann, their thorough tour of the house, and the well-stocked kitchen, we had everything we needed! It was a very comfortable stay. I would highly recommend this property. It's a gem in the Smokies!

This property is beautiful, peaceful, relaxing!!! The kitchen is stocked & we enjoyed grilling!!! Nearby things we enjoyed were the Deep Creek Park (went tubing) and of course the casino. We would recommend this vacation spot to all!!!

Ann and Ray were great hosts, very helpful and accommodating. Their home was beautiful and perfect for our trip. The location is quiet, secluded with a gorgeous wooded setting.. We really enjoyed and would definitely come back again.

Place was exceptionally clean. Very secluded. We were delayed on our arrival and they went out of their way to make sure we had access. Thank you. Will stay again.

We had a wonderful week at this cabin. There were 4 adults and 2 kids and the house was perfect for us. The beds were comfy (my teenager also gave high marks to the futon), the kitchen was well stocked and the fire pit provided a nice way to end the evenings. We went hiking, tubing, horseback riding, gem mining and whitewater rafting, and the cabin is conveniently located to all of those activities. We can’t wait to come back!

House was well maintained, clean and well supplied. Great location too, close to a lot of activities, we would stay again.

The location is close to so many natural attractions and the cabin is roomy and very clean. Couldn’t ask for a better experience.

The house is close to a lot of great attractions. Our family loved whitewater rafting at NOC and hiking up Deep Creek to view the waterfalls. We didn’t tube down Deep Creek but it did look like fun. The kids liked gem mining as well (Deep Creek). We walked around Bryson City and did a little shopping. Harrah’s Casino is close by, and there are things for the kids - bowing and arcade. The house itself was very clean and quiet. There was plenty of room for our family of 5.

Stayed in the house in June 2021 for a long weekend, 4 adults and 1 child, age 9. House was very clean and well equipped if you like to cook while on vacation like we do. All beds were comfortable, even the futon for our son. Location is absolutely perfect for anything you might want to do on a Smoky Mountain vacation. We managed to fit in horseback riding, tubing at Deep Creek, gem mining, the Road to Nowhere, ziplining, and more into a single weekend because they are all so close to the house. Easy access to whitewater rafting, kayaking, and other activities in Bryson City as well.Would definitely want to come back for a repeat of a perfect weekend! Many thanks to the owners for offering such a great place!

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It was so peaceful and quiet. The cabin has everything you need for a perfect stay. It was a short drive to the Nantahala River where we caught many fish. It is also not too far a drive to Bryson City and Cherokee. We actually fished all three areas. All in all it was a great vacation and I highly recommend the cabin for anyone looking to visit the area.

Very quiet yet convenient to everything

We had an amazing long weekend in the Smokies! The house was beautiful, clean and had all the amenities we needed. There was a nice view from the top the wooded property. We made some beautiful drives to the national parks and completed family hikes with breathtaking views. Our kids loved roasting marshmallows by the fire pit. All and all, the perfect trip! Thanks, Ann and Ray!

We cannot wait to stay at this house again! From our arrival, where the owners met us with the keys, until our departure, every moment in this beautiful house was a great one! The house was sparkling clean, beautifully decorated and the hosts thought of everything we might need. There are plenty of dishes and kitchenware as well as more than enough towels and linens. There is a great little fire pit outside with plenty of fire wood and a big front porch for relaxing. The house is secluded enough but really close to attractions and all of the sweet little towns nearby. There is a grocery store within 15 minutes. The driveway is gravel and long and fairly steep in places but an suv or 4wd isn't required. Our sedan made it with no trouble. We would recommend this lovely home and hosts to anyone looking for a mountain getaway!

Our family wanted to get away for spring break and this house proved to be the perfect retreat. The house was the cleanest property our family has stayed at thus far with Vrbo. The decor was beautiful and impressive. The house was well stocked more than other rentals. Our highlights were the gas log fireplace and the spacious garden tub! The beds were super comfy and we all slept like babies. We enjoyed all the family games, and I never thought my tech savvy teens would get so invested in a game of Pictionary. We have two boys who are avid gamers, so we always travel with a tv for them to use. Keep in mind, there is only one tv in house so if you have teenagers like ours, you might want to bring one. The firepit was awesome and the hosts had fresh wood in it ready to go, which was an awesome touch. The mountainous views were beautiful and the starry night skies were amazing. We arrived really late and the hosts had the lights turned on and house ready for us. FYI depending on which direction you travel you may lose your phone signal in the mountains during your drive in like we did. Backup GPS helpful we forgot ours.

The cabin is spacious and had everything we needed for a memorable Valentine's weekend. We enjoyed the firepit and the gas fireplace in the living room. The beds were very comfortable. The cabin had everything we needed to cook and prepare meals. Ray and Ann thank you for sharing your home. They were great hosts and easy to communicate with before and during our stay. We would definitely love to visit again!

Wonderful cabin, great location, welcoming hosts!
