The place was spacious and well kept. The boys enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit. The stove was Hughes. It was close to Cherokee and Smokey mountain pRkway

There were 5 of us and only 2 wash cloths. There was food left in fridge and pantry when we got there but that is all. Our over all stay was awesome and I do recommend this cabin. I would rent again

best views in WNC

Beautiful views, hot tub was a little tedious but overall had a great time

Very good place to stay would stay again and again. The view was amazing

The view from the property is breathtaking. It was very peaceful with beautiful flowers galore. This property is for people who love nature, peaceful isolation, and relaxation. We did spend time in the Great Smoky Mountains and Cherokee, but we didn't want to go up and down the gravel road more than once a day. This property is rustic and not for those that prefer fancy accommodations. If you love wild flowers more than cultivated roses, this is the place for you.

This place was perfect for a week long getaway just to relax. We came for ten days and only left twice, which was perfect. All the other reviews are pretty spot on - views are amazing, place is very comfortable, no AC is needed as with windows open it stays cool, fully stocked kitchen, and very peaceful. We had no trouble getting up and down the mountain (and I have a sporty car) but it is a longer drive and as others say best to do it first in the day time and follow the instructions provided. We had good signal with Verizon at the house just as an FYI. The place is amazing, the only thing I would say is if you are used to pristine brand new things then this may not be for you as some things are a bit older and show wear (though the owners are clearly updating items too). Overall would definitely recommend and would definitely go back in the future!

Pros: Location is on top of the mountain with exquisite views! Cons: The HUGE deck the is on the second floor is rotting and needs replaced. We stayed off the deck, which was a shame, we would have preferred to be on the deck. We went during a heat wave, and no air conditioning. It was recommended to leave the crows nest open and all the windows to create a draft. It was breezy, but only if you wanted NO PRIVACY and left all the doors open. The gardens needed more kept and trimmed out. You cant see the house from where you park. It is a long walk to the house and not ADA friendly. So, It is not a perfect fit for everyone. We had a daily slithering visitor, a (not exaggerating) 9 ft. long black snake. We were cautious of him, I don't recommend walking thru the overgrown garden from the back porch to the hot tub. Especially, at the pond , where it sunbathed on the rocks surrounding the pond. It's a critter-eater, rat snake and not poisonous, so, don't kill it. We were warned about bears, but did not see any or evidence of any.

The property is a great remote getaway. With Amazing views. It's high elevation offers great views and cooler Temps. We enjoyed our stay.

Interesting place saw a giant black bear add some paranormal experiences overall a good time was had by all

If you like being in the mountains with nature, this is the place. Water Rock Garden

A family vacation with lots of room for all to have space. Yes, a good chance to return!

Like all of our past visits here, we enjoyed the peaceful remote location and the outstanding views. Glad we made it up here for autumn leaves. Enjoyed many great hikes from the house and cooked in the spacious kitchen. What a great place!

We enjoyed our stay. The views were beautiful and being located right under Water Rock Knob was special. The drive up to the house was no problem. It was one of the better drives we have had to a high elevation property.

What a magical location! The views are stunning, you feel as if you are living amongst the clouds! This home and it’s location can’t be beat! The owner was also very responsive with questions.

We visited with my son who returned from active duty deployment. This was the perfect place for family to visit. Different ones came at different times and stayed for a couple of days. We were there for a total of 5 nights. We enjoyed the hot tub, the fire pit, and sunset on the deck. We played games and cards and enjoyed large family dinners at the kitchen table. The host always responded quickly and kindly. We did not need or try the TV or Internet, but had consistent cell service on ATT, Verizon, and Sprint. This was a perfect trip. We hope to be able to visit this property again!

We had an absolute amazing time. Really just an incredible property. So serene and private and comfortable. I almost decided to stay forever. A total gem.

A group of friends reunited after a long and lonesome year at this marvelous house on the mountaintop. We played games around the table and in the lawn , cooked incredible meals, took in magnificent sunsets from the upper deck, soaked in the hot tub under the stars, tramped down to the waterfall to play in the water and relished in the absolute quiet and privacy you find at the end of the long mountain road. After a week here, each one of us was visibly more relaxed and joyful. Thank you, Tama, for creating this peaceful and stunning setting for our (and others') reunions and retreats.

The best vacation we have taken. We have already started making plans to return. I continuously found myself just walking along and had to stop to admire the view, again and again. The wood fired hot tub is just the cherry on top. For those that complain about the critters or wildlife, that is what going to places like this are about. Don't want wildlife, go to New York. Again, had a blast. Thanks for the memories. Hope to be back next year.

We had a great time together. Very unique views! 😍. But a few comments: There is very extreme gravel pass up to the house location. No groshery stors near. The house needs a lot of upgrades. No internet connection by Tmobile. Only home Wi-Fi. Old kitchen appliances...

We very much enjoyed our time at this lovely and private location despite the fact that the amenities within the house are not as updated or perhaps as functional as would be optimal. Explicit instructions on the use of the remotes and accessing the full functionality of the Direct TV system would perhaps have been helpful. In any case, the WiFi signal and internet access were seamless during our stay and enabled us to make this an effective and pleasant working vacation during the heavy rains we experienced over several days. We enjoyed the access to the semi-public hiking trails whose locations were described to us, as well as the steam shower and hot tub, and had a memorable face-to-window encounter with a coyote (red wolf?)!

We enjoyed every minute of our stay. We did not get back in the car until it was time to leave which was amazing. We walked to the waterfalls close to the house and hiked to Black Rock one day and towards Water Rock Knob another. The views are amazing from every window and all outdoor spaces. Perfect space for kids and dogs to run around and play close to the house. Clean and bright.

Although we were rained out of many of our planned activities, including an opportunity we had hoped to have had in remarking one of the trails, the storms lifted long enough to enjoy several of the most spectacular sunsets on the planet! We were told that several planned renovations are in store for the home, and look forward to returning again in the future to enjoy this amazing property. Thanks for sharing your home.

Best getaway we have had in years. Can’t wait to go back. Huge place and very comfortable. We had 10 and it was perfect. Long drive up the mountain but thats the only way to get a view that amazing. The host was amazing and made sure we had everything we need. Get there in the daylight the first day and put a fire in the hot tub fiirstbthing. Its a learning experience but proved to be fun. Enjoy. We willl be back for sure. We ledt to go skiiing but you really dont need to. Enjoy.

One of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed. We enjoyed our time here very much. Thank you, thank you.

The location of the property was perfect. The drive up is long, but the road is in good condition. Make sure you are comfortable driving on mountain roads and read directions carefully. The views are great and I’m certain even prettier in the spring/summer. The wood fired hot tub was a fun experience for adults and kids. The water is a little difficult to adjust since we weren’t used to it, but it was a fun experience. The house was in need of a lot of repairs. There were minimal curtains/blind on the windows, visible water damage on ceilings, and the stove handle was broke upon our arrival. There were several lightbulbs that were blown and we actually replaced a few during our stay. The couch had some tears and furniture didn’t match. Games in the closets were missing pieces. The downstairs bedroom is TINY and even though there are two bathrooms, there is only one shower which made it difficult for two families (although the wet sauna was nice in the shower). There were enough towels but only a handful of wash cloths. There is no dishwasher. There is an advertised walking trail, but so grown up we couldn’t find it until messaging the owner.The owner was prompt to respond but didn’t include check in instructions until we requested. A map of the area would be helpful. Overall the area and view was perfect for a secluded Covid getaway, but the place is definitely in need of some love, and some easy fixes would greatly increase the value!

Rented this property for its location and beautiful views and we loved every day we spent here. Host is very responsive and helpful. A bit difficult to find the place on the first day, please follow instructions from host carefully.

This is the second time we stayed here. I absolutely love this house. It has its own charm. Inside you can find everything needed while outside you can find much more. Beautiful gardens, breathtaking views and glorious sunsets! Super close to Cherokee and hour and a half away from Gatlinburg. We had a wonderful weekend! Thank you!

Very serene beautiful location on top of mountain. Incredible views! House was clean and comfortable although there was seriously a lot of lady bugs. We had a lot of fun with the 3.5 mile windy gravel road but definitely do it in day light first time. Firewood was unfortunately wet so had a tough time with fire for hot tub. Nearby hike to waterfalls was nice once we figured out where the path was. Furniture needs upgrade and a gas grill would have been nice but regardless we HIGHLY recommend this place for an adventurous family or just a romantic getaway.

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful home with us! Everything was perfect. We did the tourist thing, but, really we didn’t need to go anywhere because everything we wanted was right here! We did yoga in the grass facing the mountains that were full of colors. The hiking trails to the waterfalls were awesome. The stargazing was incredible at night with owls hooting. We enjoyed the hot tub and the fire pit where we roasted marshmallows for s’more‘s… So many good memories were made here! We also love this house! — The Cupolla, the deck, all the windows and the big open kitchen, the furniture, the Art and of course, the landscaping and the spectacular views!!Peace to you!
