Secluded and Private

I was super impressed by how clean the home was. The beds were comfy, the kitchen was well stocked as stated in other reviews—I cooked/grilled all three evenings and had everything I needed. The home is well stocked with board games, puzzles, and even cornhole. The jets in the master bath tub did not appear to be working, and the outdoor furniture hadn’t been cleaned in a while. This was nothing a little Awesome, found under the kitchen sink, couldn’t fix. The representatives with the property management company were friendly, responsive, and welcoming. Overall, great stay.

Long-Weekend Getaway

House was clean and spacious. The agency was wonderful to work with, especially Stephanie. We took advantage of the grocery-shopping service and it was so relaxing to come in late and know there was food for an early breakfast the next day. Our main purpose in coming was to take my son and his two friends on a Raft & Rail excursion for his 16th birthday. House was perfectly located for trips into Bryson City. Plus had everything you'd need for a day in - a separate area for the teens, a beautiful screened in porch for sitting out and enjoying the fresh mountain air without worrying about insects, plus a hot tub ready for use. You also get to see the steam train from Bryson City which was a treat! The bed in the King master loft was one of the most comfortable I've slept on. Downstairs had 2 more bedrooms, one with twin beds and another with a queen. I loved that we didn't have to rent linens separately and the beds were already made when we arrived. All in all, I'd stay again.

Lovely, spacious cabin

We loved this cabin! Enjoyed the hot tub, drinking my cup of joe on the enclosed deck in the morning and walking my dog while enjoying the view of the mountains and lake. Dollar General was close by for lil extras you will need such as hand soap in the bathroom and snacks, etc. Cardinal Cafe serves a pretty good cup of coffee and is close by. Beds were comfy, kitchen roomy. Wi-Fi definitely needs to be upgraded with new router or add repeaters to the existing router. I would definitely return. Also, we enjoyed a trip to the Biltmore as well as a trip to Gatlinburg, TN which was not too bad of a drive… windy roads of course.

Relaxing Retreat

Our experience was so wonderful, even better than expected! The outdoor space on this cabin is just magical during day and night. We pretty much lived on the screened porch and in the hot tub. Staring off into the trees, taking in river, and gazing at the stars was just what we needed to unwind. I saw the reviews about neighbors close by but honestly they aren’t really. The homes are oriented so they feel very secluded. Internet is spotty, but we didn’t mind - Direct TV was fine. Finally, I always have back pain from the awful beds when we go on vacation. Not here - the master bedroom mattress was so comfy. Highly recommend and we will be back.

Just Right!

Lakeview Lookout was a lovely property with plenty of living space for our group of 5 adults and 2 children. We were visiting the area to ride the Polar Express and the cabin was convenient to Bryson City and other mountain entertainments. We especially enjoyed the hot tub after a grueling 5 mile hike!

Almost everything was fantastic. Cabin is beautiful. Only thing was that we could not find a way to get down to the lake besides a steep climb down then back up. I would definitely stay again.

Fantastic cabin!

We love the area, so we knew the lake and rivers there, but this was our first time at this cabin. It was perfect for our family and is now our favorite rental. The views were gorgeous and we watched the full moon come up over the ridge while soaking in the hot tub. Every couch and all the beds were cozy, and all areas well equipped (extra blankets, towels, even coffee filters!). We will be back next year! If you rent this location, be ready to not want to leave. Only words of caution... be careful and slow on the roads as they are a bit steep and the wifi is very weak (which was perfect for us as we were ready to "disconnect " and relax).

Nice Cabin, great location

Cabin was in great shape and clean for the most part. Fireplace was not working and the basement smelled a little like wet dog (smell dissipated after a day or two). Also there was no Salt, pepper or anything. However we'd definitely say again. Note- not exactly a motorcycle friendly Cabin BTW. The small parking area and one way steep gravel 2 track to the Cabin were challenging.
