We decided to take our adult children all on a trip for Christmas this year. This cabin was the perfect location. Everything was amazing. We all had our own rooms and everything we needed was here. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed grilling steaks one night on the grill. Close to town but private and quiet. The creek out back and firepit area are beautiful! My husband loved the hammock just outside the master bedroom. I highly recommend this for a family getaway!

The house and property were beautiful. The fire pit and trails put back were awesome. Unfortunately it was a little rainy/wet from snow during our stay so we were unable to use the fire pit. I hope to come back, though, because the entire environment is very relaxing and scenic. Easy check in/check out and Zachary was very quick to respond when we had one concern with the AC. I highly recommend this property.

The owners have thought of everything! We stay in the mountains every year and this is our favorite house we have stayed in. The play area in the back yard was amazing for the kids! The attention to detail was great. Would definitely stay again.

This house was "as advertised"; well appointed, spacious, and inviting. The neighborhood is very quiet. The wifi and TV worked well. The rooms are spread over 3 levels, so guests can have quiet time alone or sit together in the great room. I could not get much heat out of the living room electric fireplace. The HEAT/AC worked fine, so it wasn't necessary. The outdoor spaces were great for kids to explore. We had a very nice time.

Wow! What a beautiful cabin! We were a group of 5 women with a friendship history going back 60 years! We came here for a reunion and we were so impressed! The cabin was clean, the beds were very comfortable and the snack basket on the kitchen island was a nice welcome when we arrived! There was nothing better than having morning coffee on the deck looking at the beautiful mountain scenery! It's a short car ride to Waynesville for exploring and shopping, and about 45 minutes to The Biltmore Estate! We had a wonderful long weekend and we would absolutely book this cabin again!

This place is great!! The kids had a blast playing outside while the adults sat around the fire pit. Inside, the cabin was spacious and had everything we needed. The only problem was time went by too fast and we had to leave. If you’re searching for a place to stay in the area, this is it!!

The house is stocked with all you need to relax, enjoy and cook for each other. The grounds are lovely, with a firepit, a stream, hammocks, and swings for kids. We were there in April, and the green multiplied as the days passed. We recommend this property highly!

Excellent property and accommodations. Plenty of space for our large family. The outdoor space was the best! We enjoyed our evening gatherings by the fire pit roasting marshmallows.

Nice cabin with amazing outdoor space. We spent countless hours on the wrap around porch, fire pit area, and outdoor playground that has swings and an obstacle course all on the property, which was perfect for our 5 and 7 year old. Would definitely rent this listing again. Owner was very responsive to questions when we were on site. Great quiet location.

Thanks for sharing the home with us. Beautiful place.

Absolutely spectacular. Despite some inclement weather, we really enjoyed our stay. The property was fantastic. The wrap around deck was such a pleasure to have. We were able to enjoy being outside during some periods of heavy rain. This is a really nice house. Thank you to the owners for allowing us to be part of David’s Dream.

This place was Awesome! We went with my family of 5 and my brother's family of 5. And there was a ton of room. Kitchen was fully furnish the and everything worked. As for the property, it was amazing! So beautiful and very well set up for everyone age person in the family boy or girl. For the adults the sound that the creek made was just peaceful and relaxing! If I had a negative on the property, that would be, the fireplace needs to be cleaned properly or replaced with a gas one. Because the face logs that you have to use smell like chemicals and not wood. That is the only thing that was not just perfect for us.

Pros- We really enjoyed the home it was spacious, clean and comfortable. The waterfall behind the home was nice.
Cons- The HOA rules were strange with a 9pm light curfew even on the weekend which kept us from enjoying the outdoor space. (The owner Zachary was completely transparent about this we knew standard when booking) Also we had to find a place to dispose of our trash to avoid additional fees. That was a inconvenience since we were pressed for time traveling for a wedding.

Winter family vacay /ski trip
Property was beautiful. Very clean. Check in and out instructions clear. Pet friendly which was plus for us with a pet fee and pre approval. Cabin is beautiful. Zachary was very accommodating. I injured my knees skiing the first day. Tearing MCL on both knees. This made stairs and bathroom very difficult.. bars in bathroom were needed then. But that’s a special accommodation that was unforeseen. Loved the soft blankets in living room. Great touch!! Cute bear decor throughout. However some of the towel holders and TP bear holders were very heavy and screws were stripped. So bears were lose. Just needs some readjusting. Kitchen was fully accommodating. We used keurig daily. We made burgers on the grill. We had brought bunch of wood from home but no wood allowed in fireplace. Only duraflame logs. However beautiful wood firepit out back by the beautiful creek to use wood. After my accident I couldn’t walk to the stream.. I could only view from the deck. So I was sad about that but still could hear it. The view is really pretty too. I would recommend the property. It’s in an HOA so there are rules to follow but it keeps the area nice that way.
