Please limit parking to four full-sized vehicles or up to six smaller vehicles. The property is unsuitable for large trailers, RVs, or boats (small trailers are generally OK). While the road is well-maintained, it is narrow. Please drive slowly and do not block the road when parking. For your security, we have two exterior-only security cameras. These cameras are positioned to protect your privacy while providing protection for when the cabin is unoccupied. They are not actively monitored. Finally, while we maintain the property with regular pest control, mountain life comes with visitors. You might see the occasional bug, bird, or critter — and yes, ladybugs too.

The feeling is isolated, but there are neighbors. Plenty of space for multiple families. Refrigerator is huge for all of the food we brought. We didn't have to run into town for any basics. As the grandparents, my husband and I were grateful for the bedroom and on-suite on the main level. ##### Lori S.

What a fantastic property and an even better booking experience. From the very beginning, Alex was extremely responsive and answered my seemingly endless stream of questions. I was very impressed by what the property had to offer, from the beautiful wood interior to the pool table and hot tub, to the exceptionally well-stocked kitchen. I had a group of 10 friends and we had plenty of room. We were only there for 2 nights but I wish we had stayed longer!We stayed here to drive on the Tail of the Dragon, which is about 45 minutes from the house. We had zero issues fitting a bunch of cars in the driveway, and there was even a hose to wash them :)Alex continued to answer questions throughout our stay and I always felt taken care of. Absolutely no complaints whatsoever and I look forward to staying here again! ##### Daniel T.

Friday was my 49th birthday, graduation on Saturday then ended on Mother’s Day Sunday! There four generations there for the weekend and everyone had the most amazing time. My four year old grandson was never bored, between the jacuzzi, air hockey, arcade game, Lincoln logs and fire pit…he was able to find something fun to do from sun up to sun down! My mother-in-law, husband and 2 sons played a very competitive game of pool while the rest of us chilled out on the couches. The many chairs on the beautiful porches gave us many options of quiet places to sit and laugh and make more memories . We enjoyed our traditional low-country-boil out on the spacious picnic tables. The convenient check-in and check-out process made this trip even more stress free! I cannot think of one thing that the amazing host,Alex, could have done to have made it a better place to stay! I highly recommend this place and we are definitely looking at coming back! ##### Amber W.

From the moment we booked until the moment we left everything was perfect! We have three grown children and arranging family vacations is hard with everyone's busy schedules, careers, spouses, etc. But this mommas heart isn't ready to give up these precious moments. This house was perfect to accommodate everyone with their own bedroom, and provided plenty of bathroom space. The owners have thought of everything to make this home away from home experience warm and welcoming. An abundance of activities for us to spend time together instead of in front of a TV or tablet/phone. We cooked out, had smores over the open fire under the stars, played pool, airhockey, arcade games, and cards while listening to music and talking for hours. We really enjoyed sitting on the back porch in the mornings sipping coffee. It was so peaceful and relaxing. We did not take advatange of the hot tub, but it was clean and would have been perfect for a dip. The pond in the community was great for and evening stroll, fishing or swimming. Our boys brought their mountain bikes and were just a few minutes away from the awesome Tsali trails. They had a blast and I believe that was the highlight of their trip. I booked a guided fly fishing trip for the 6 of us with Fontana Guides had a great time wet wading in the river casting flies and trying to land a few trout. I believe our daughter is hooked and will be back again again to fly fish. Check-in/checkout was a breeze! We will definitely be back ##### Samantha B.

It is very private and felt like a very safe place. We were within 30 minutes of Bryson City, the Cherokee Casino, tubing and golf. So will go back to this location. ##### Cynthia D.

We fell in love with the house the moment we walked through the doors. The layout is perfect whether you are having a friendly reunion or a family gathering. The road to the cabin is up-kept and easy to navigate. We are familiar with the area, but to those new to this region, there is a plethora of things to do! It was the perfect getaway for my birthday weekend and I would 100% recommend this place to anyone! We can’t wait to come back! Thanks so much Alex and family for opening up your home! Better Together Lodge was just what we needed! Angela D. ##### Angela D. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2021 ---
