Going to the chapel...

Great location for our daughter's wedding event at The Parker Mill in the next cove over from this house. House was very clean and well equipped for our large group of 10 adults. Check in/out was easy and communication from the property management was first class. Neighbors are close but everyone was very friendly.

Would stay again

We had a few hiccups when we arrived with the house but the management team was very responsive and took care of everything. The house has plenty of room, was clean and great location for our son's wedding at Parker Mill. Like any rental some things are looking tired but the beds are very comfortable.

Wonderful mountain home

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. Tucked away in the mountains and located closely to golfing, hiking and downtown Cherokee. Couldn't have asked for a better stay!

Enjoyed Stay.

The home was nice and just the right size for our group of 10! It does need some repairs to downstairs shower and the deck. There were a few minor things we worked around such as lack of frying pans but we understand when you rent a home not everything is perfect. We did enjoy our stay at this home and it was a great location, close to Bryson and Cherokee!

Zen mountain

Everything was great with only a few issues. Broil setting in oven does not work. Needed that for a meal we were preparing. Pool table is poor. Ok for children but we had 5 adults who enjoy playing pool and table condition is poor. Weak boards on back deck near master bedroom. Everything else was very good.

My family and I enjoyed ourselves at Zen Mountain. It was better than what the pictures described! The views were gorgeous and it was very quiet and tranquil. There was so much space for everyone to spread out and relax. I will definitely stay here again in the future.

Beautiful location

Loved the location and the home! Also being so close to Cherokee. Do not rent if you want to play pool. They have outdated sticks and the table is not level. Other than that the place was huge and area was great.

Your service to our concerns was quick and responsive. The home is nice, but needs repairs and maintenance. Issues with back porch take away from some of its beauty. Downstairs bed and bath definitely need updating and upstairs bathroom has a leaky tub faucet.

Very Nice

Home is spacious, very nice interior and wonderful decks to enjoy being outside, with one section screened. The home has a lot to offer if you need separate spaces to spread out, love the layout of this home as it offers a lot of privacy if you have a large group. Pool table, keyboard were great also....home was clean, and we loved our stay and would definitely book again when in the area.

Casino Retreat

Great Location, the house was clean and well kept. We had a party of 10, celebrating my grandmother's 88th birthday. I would have given “5” stars but the towels underneath the bathroom sink was damp/wet. Thank goodness for the washer and dryer, I was able to re-wash and dry them before using.

Almost Perfect

The downstairs shower had little water pressure and appeared to have a questionable patch job on the shower floor - we were each very careful not to step on it, as it did not seem sturdy. Also, we were limited by the amount of toilet paper available, but luckily we were able to make a quick store run to re-stock. Otherwise, the house was beautiful and we loved it! We would absolutely consider staying at this location again!

Zen Mountain Review

We weren't able to play pool the first day we were there because none of the sticks had a tip on them. I was looking forward to cooking breakfast for all my friends Saturday morning, but I couldn't do that because all the pans were scratched so badly I thought some of the pan might flake off into our food. I am frustrated that I chose this place for my bachelor party and I was restricted on what we were able to do. We did receive some new pool sticks and pots/pans, but we never got to use the pots and pans because we had plans and a time crunch, so I relied on there being good enough pans to cook with Saturday morning.

Great Family Vacation Spot

We stayed in late June with our four kids (ages 12-19) and two sets of grandparents. The house was very clean and spacious and we enjoyed amenities like the grill, the fire pit and the pool table. A ramp from the garage to the house provided nice accessibility for one of our party with mobility challenges. The kitchen had everything we needed and the view from the back deck was gorgeous! We also loved the location: 15 minutes to Cherokee/Great Smoky Mountains National Park, 20 minutes to Bryson City or Dillsboro for some fun shopping, and 1 hour to Asheville. The Cherokee Food Lion had all the groceries we needed. I highly recommend visiting the Oconaluftee Indian Village if you stay here - it was a highlight of the trip. We also loved the old growth trees at the Joyce Kilmer memorial forest - definitely worth the 1 hour and 20 minute drive! The street leading to the house is a very narrow gravel road that has some pretty rough spots. We were able to get through, but our vehicles (minivans and a RAV4) bottomed out pretty much every time. This is not the property owner’s fault, just something to consider. I was also asked to sign an additional rental contract - there weren’t any problems with it, I just hadn’t been aware of that from the property description. All in all, we would definitely stay here again and recommend it for any large group!
