Between the NOC and Cardinal Coffee - I couldn’t have found a better spot. The cabin is perfectly sized for 6 adults. And the little extras for your fur friends were very thoughtful- a clean blanket, extra bowls, little mats. The front porch and rocking chairs made morning coffee very peaceful. ##### Melanie C.

We were looking for a place close to our family in Bryson City yet situated in a secluded, natural area. This place checked all the boxes. The cabin was extremely well-kept and clean upon arrival. The kitchen had all the cookware, eating and drinking necessities which made cooking meals very convenient. Ingles is about 15 minutes away. The hot tub provided great relief after busy days and the master bed was really comfy. The fireplace was especially nice for watching some TV on the colder nights. If you’re looking for a place for privacy and to just disconnect, this is the perfect cabin. ##### Scott C.

It is very secluded. We stayed mid November, no leaves on the trees, and could barely make out the roof line of the nearest cabin. Probably at least a football field or more away. Gas fireplace gave us some trouble so that was a little disappointing, but not enough to lose a five star rating. We notified property management and they were very friendly and responsive. We will definitely stay here again. ##### Russell R.

The only issue we had was with the keypad lock. Sometimes it would work, sometimes it wouldn't. A light near the sign at the end of the gravel driveway would be a bonus because it was very hard to see at night and especially in the rain. But I would 100% recommend this cabin! ##### Bridgett M.

My husband and I put our phones on airplane mode and just enjoyed the four nights in five days with each other in our children. It was close to part of the Appalachian Trail which we totally loved and enjoyed hiking with our dog and our children. We went gem mining and our kids found some awesome gems and of course we visited the national Park. The only complaint I have is that my dog was acting goofy the first couple days and we couldn’t figure out why but then my husband found a no bark thing and it was turned on so I don’t know if it was like making a noise that was bothering my dog but my dog doesn’t bark to begin with so we shut it off and he loved it after that. ##### Abbie M.
