Great house for party of 18 or more adults.

Great place for a huge gathering. Would be nice to have access down into the river on the property. Had to drive or walk down the street. Road access is dirt road and single lane. Not too bad has section to stop and allow car to pass by. Host was responsive and helped with all the request ask.

Great cabin for a large family getaway.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The road is very narrow and windy leading to the cabin, but the parking was easy. Everything was as advertised about the property. It was spacious and cozy. Would recommend to anyone traveling to the area.

nice family getaway with lots of amenities

Beautiful well kept property. we did have a few issues and reported them to the owner, but they couldn't be fixed during our four day Christmas stay which is to be understood. Nice property with very high end amenities and lots of games and things to keep everyone busy!

Family Christmas trip

First let me say the cabin is very nice! The road to get to the cabin not so much but I guess that’s what you get with mountain cabins. Very narrow. Only room for one car to pass through. The bathrooms are a little odd to me. There’s 2 full bathrooms on the main floor and only 1 bedroom. There is 1 full bathroom and a half on the second floor with 4 bedrooms. Then in the ground floor you have another full bath and a half with 1 bedroom. We also had one of the ceiling fans in one of the upstairs bedrooms malfunction and we could not get the light or the fan to turn off. When I contacted the property manager I was told he could not get a maintenance person out there cause it was Sunday. It was difficult for my family to sleep in that room with the light on cause we couldn’t figure out how to even get the globe off to remove the light bulb cause it had a metal cage around the globe. We made the best of it and still had a great time! We went specifically to ride the Polar Express so the cabin was located approximately between Bryson City and Cherokee.

Great house!

We loved our stay in this home! We were especially impressed with all the helpful little details like night lights in bedrooms and the small things that make being in a different house easier. I was thrilled with how well stocked the kitchen was with dishes and kitchen "gadgets". It was easy for our large group to cook all our meals there. make

The stay was awesome, very clean and beautiful. The only thing we noticed were that the beds seem to be smaller like a full or double instead of queens. The king bedrooms were awesome! Thanks for the wonderful time!

Great House and Location

This property is fantastic! The layout allows for a lot of common space while also providing space for privacy. The kitchen was very well stocked and there were ample towels and blankets. The outdoor patio and deck had great seating. The hot tub was nice. The bunk beds are for kids only, our adults couldn't actually fit in them so keep that in mind if you're thinking you would share that room with your children! The house is truly wheelchair accessible, The elevator allowed my husband to access all floors of the house. The bathroom was very accessible for his wheelchair and there is a zero access shower with handrails. There are many things to do nearby whether it be hiking or shopping or just sitting by the river. I highly recommend this property!

We are a big family and the Miller Lodge is perfect. Very clean and in excellent condition. The checkin was simple and the manager Gene is great. He even ran down a baby gate to help us coral the little one. You have to try this one.

Great Reunion Location!

This was an ideal spot for our friends group to reunite. The facilities were superb. The beds were comfortable, and there was plenty of space for our large group. We loved being able to gather on the deck and watch the river. It was very peaceful outside. The inside open area got a little noisy at times with all our kids running around, so we spent a lot of time on the deck! :)

Wonderful- booking again next year!

We were beyond impressed with our stay. The house was clean and check in was easy. It is in a great location and made this trip a dream. The house was spacious and allowed for all our loved ones to enjoy themselves comfortably, not to mention the house had wonderful amenities. This house quite literally has everything you will ever need. The host was very kind and replied quickly with anything we needed. We have all decided this will become an annual vacation and rebook the same house!

Great house!

This is a beautiful, well-kept house. Plenty of room for our family. Two living rooms, two kitchens, three laundry rooms, game room, and a little play area with blocks and toys for the 18 month old. One son-in-law said it was the best house we’ve stayed in yet.

Family Christmas Getaway

Decided this year instead of spending money on presents for our children and grandchildren we would make memories together..oh we made memories alright..We got married in the living room after being together for 10 years.. The cabin was large enough for family to either spend time together or spend some alone time..very accommodating of a large family Can't wait to return.!

Family Cabin trip 2023

Our family cabin trip was great. The Miller Family Lodge was laid out wonderful for our family of 14 ages 6mos-83yrs. The house had everything we needed for our stay. The beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of towels and supplies. The road to the cabin was lit and not that bad. We were disappointed that the hot tub did not work for our 5 night stay. We enjoyed the Polar Express, Bryson City Brewery, Smokemout Riding stables, hiking Tom Branch and Indian Creek Falls, Cherokee Casino and lots of shopping. Lots of Family memories made at the Miller Family Lodge 2023.
