We had a wonderful time. The cabin is beautiful and cozy. We can’t wait to come back.

Very private but close enough to the outdoor centers for whitewater rafting.

We stayed at the cabin for 3 nights. Check in was easy and convenient, could be completed without stopping by office and all the information and directions for the cabin was accurate and easy to follow. Road to cabin wasnt too bad, we did have an suv which would probably be best. The parking area was easy with plenty of room for a couple of cars and turn around. We chose this cabin for the view and thats what we enjoyed most about it. We also appreciated the games/cards, pool table, and hot tub! The place was clean and there was enough dishes and towels for everyone (4 of us) We went to the NOC on our first evening, nice dinner on the river and sitting by the river. Was about 15 min from cabin. The 2nd day we rented a pontoon boat on nearby Fontana lake which was beautiful and we stopped by the river close to the cabin. There was a swinging bridge on Needmore road that was worth visiting due to proximity. The 3rd day we went to the Okonoluftee river trail at the entrance to the Smokies, about 40 min away. We walked the trail, swam in the river (there were lots of tubers) and saw some elk. We then drove about 25 min to Deep Creek and hiked the easy 3 waterfalls there, also lots of tubers there. Overall, the location was central to many activities and I would recommend this cabin to others.

Great secluded spot for a staycation. Lots of amenities to keep you entertained

The cabin was more remote than we realized it would be. The roads going up to it were rough and it was raining so that made them worse. The cabin was not real clean- I had to clean the vent on the refrigerator bottom on the first day because it was clogged with what looked like pet hair. I got a huge clump of it out. The frig was not cooling and I had to call about it. The property owner did come out and check on it the next day. We were appreciative of that. The kitchen floor was also not clean and didn't appear to be recently mopped- because I spilt some water and when I wiped it up the paper towel was filthy . The VRBO add said it accommodated up to10 but really the max was 6 so I was charged extra for the 4 kids. I brought an air mattress, so we used that. The furnishing are also dated. The kitchen was advertised as fully stocked but most of the pans were in bad shape. We had to use aluminum foil to cover all the baking pans and the other pots were scratched up pretty bad and some of the others had rust . The stove was very greasy - so we cleaned it with Clorox wipes. Coffee Keurig leaked when you made a cup. They also had a very cheap coffee maker. There was someone's wallet on top of the frig so again I don't think cleaning was very thorough. (We notified owner that it was there.) The fan in the downstairs bathroom sounded like a plane taking off so we had to make sure we kept it turned off. We had 10 people and there is only one small plastic trash can outside. The rules in the cabin say the owners will only take what is the can. We had to load up bags of trash in the pouring rain and find a place to take it too on the day we left. That was pretty frustrating. Internet was spotty as well. We were warned about that prior to coming. The back yard is really not safe for little ones to play (we had (2) –4-year, (1)- 5 and (1)-6-year-old. ) - it is narrow and has a steep drop off. The cross ties that were placed to form a barricade are missing in some places. It was nice to have an electric fireplace and a hot tub, the Christmas decorations were well done. The place was pet friendly and that was a nice feature. I would not stay here again .

I had to call 911 to the owner. We were out oh water for 2 1/2 days. He came to the cabin wanting to fight my 51 year old husband. The owner was a marine & is 82. He thought somehow we tore up the water pumps. It was 1 degree so they froze. He called my husband a MF & told him to come on the porch with his fist drawn. We had our 3 year old & 19 month old grandsons & their parents with us. His last words when he left he was coming back for all of us. I took that as he was going to kill us. The police came he came back & they know how he is. I deal with his daughter Ginger she’s so nice. So the first day no power for 4 hours the second & third day no water. Which we could have survived it just made us so uncomfortable that we all slept with our hand guns next to us & I told the police we had guns & if we had to we would use them. His daughter told me she wished I would have pressed charges she maintains all of his rentals & talks to her mean so she quit doing it for a year & his sales sank. Anyway he is mean & I will never rent from him again. Thank you Tracy Bennett

We really enjoyed the cabin from the minute we walked in. Very clean, well laid out, well stocked kitchen, fun activities, gorgeous views from the huge deck. We loved that it was already decorated for Christmas. The lot was perfect with so much privacy and a ton of parking. Every bed was comfortable and the family slept better than at home. Ginger made check in super easy and was very accessible. After some reviews we were curious about the driveway but had no problem with three types of cars (weather wasn’t a factor). You can’t get those views without some incline. We will absolutely book here again!

Cabin was very secluded and more than enough room. We only used the upstairs as it was only 2 of us, but view was amazing as the leaves were just past peak change. If you’re looking for quiet relaxation, this is a great place!
