Beautiful property

Very clean, lovely cabin- right off the interstate so a bit of a drive to anything. No trash service at all- you have to take your own trash to the dump- which is closed on Sunday- be warned if you are a weekend guest with pets. Cabin itself is excellent, plenty of supplies and great views, peaceful area excellent for relaxing.

Beautiful Cabin

My family came to Waynesville for a wedding but we decided to stay a week and make the most of the area. The cabin was a perfect place for my family and pups and like so many others said, it was well stocked. There was nothing I needed that wasn’t in that cabin. The neighborhood was nice too and my kids loved the donkey at the gate of the community. Overall, the cabin was perfect for us and exactly what we needed. If we ever come back down, we’d definitely choose to stay here again.

Absolutely Spotless

This cabin is beautiful! The cleanliness was the best we have ever seen! The house had everything we needed and more. The porch was so relaxing!!! Comfy beds, great decor and furniture. The only feedback would be the porch doesnt have a gate for four legged members of the family so be sure to bring a baby gate or something to block that exit point.

Amazing!

A great, warm, cozy little cabin that was the perfect size for a family of 4 plus 2 dogs. Very pet friendly with the fenced backyard. The location was central to many hiking destinations as well as Catalochee ski area. Would absolutely recommend and stay here again. A gate would be a great addition to the front porch to keep in pets and small children. Thank you for the perfect winter getaway!
