Newly rebuilt and updated inside and out. Light and bright wood cabin every detail has been thought of for you and your entourage to enjoy a well deserved getaway to the beautiful Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. The cabin sits on a secluded ridge hidden among the trees but within a few minutes to world class fishing, whitewater rafting, canoeing, boating, and the lively vacation town of Bryson City. Do it all or do nothing and just hang out on one of the 3 decks while listening to the sound of silence...or crickets. The cabin is fully furnished and equipped with everything you and your spouse, your family, or friends need to sleep, cook, make s'mores at the firepit. You can grill on the national park-style charcoal grill. Please bring your own charcoal because we don't provide it. On the main level the brand new kitchen has all new stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher. Enjoy the convenience of central heat and air conditioning while hanging out after a day of hiking, biking, horseback riding, or boating. The bedroom on the 1st floor is large with a queen bed and plenty of room for your stuff. Upstairs you will find 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and a loft. One room has a double bed and twin bed, the 2nd room has a double bed, and the loft has a day bed that doubles as a cozy place to watch a movie with the kids or friends. One bathroom is upstairs and one is downstairs. Please note that the last 1/4 mile is gravel drive and not recommended for motorcycles or trailers although there is plenty of room to park the trailer if you are accustomed to driving in the mountains. All consumable products are renters responsibility to bring. There will be a starter amount of paper products/soap for the first day or so. Ingles in Bryson City is where most people do their provisioning. The lake is at the bottom of the 1/4 mile gravel road, which means this is not waterfront property. The view through the trees is approx 1,000 feet to the lake. \* You can rent boats at Prince Boat Dock, which is about 10 min from the house. Tsali biking/hiking trails and boat ramp (Lemmons Branch) to launch your own boat, jet skis or kayaks is a few miles away too. Although it is possible to bring a small (less than 21 ft) boat and park it (we have a large parking area), it would not be recommended unless you are used to mountain roads and have 4WD truck/jeep to pull it up the gravel road.

My family of 5 stayed here for our spring break. It was the perfect spot. Beautiful home, perfect view. Checking in and out was very easy. Communication was excellent with owner. House was clean. Plenty of cookware, for the nights/mornings you want to cook. We would definitely stay here again. Oh and the drive up to the home isn't as bad as I thought, just a little rough. Just take it easy! Location for our vacay was PERFECT! Went to the wsterfalls, so very beautiful. Visited Cheerokee, was a little disappointed bc the village was closed, only open in the summer. Plenty of shops! Just not what I expected. Our last day we went to The Tunnel To Nowhere, that was pretty cool. And I would definitely recommend checking out Sheffield Mining.

Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Amanda S., Hampden, Maine USA 28 May 2021 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Great spot, difficult owners The house is lovely and in a a great location. We were able to enjoy solitude and adventure. We worked and schooled from the location and the internet was adequate, though sometimes spotty. We did lose power several times during our stay. While the owners were responsive and courteous initially, they were became accusatory and angry. After check out, they accused us of not declaring our dogs (that we’re clearly discussed in our initial conversations in writing). They said there was dog hair in the hot tub and accused us of putting the dogs in the hot tub, which we surely did not. There was a broken bin in the fridge when we arrived and they accused (did not ask) us of breaking it. Regardless, we said because we did not declare it when we arrived, we said we would pay for it. The bar to the hot tub holder broke when we placed the cover into the holder. It was clear there was some previous damage to the holder given the easy break. Also, regardless, we offered to pay for it but they said they would need to buy an entirely new cover now. The list can go on. We are generally pretty laid back people and would just assume pay for a small item rather than fight about it. We’ve stayed at many short term rentals in the past and only received 5 stars. We were taken aback and disappointed in how the owners approached us. I might suggest if you are considering renting this house and have pets, to find a different location as I do not see the expectations for renting to pets aligning with the reality of hosting pets. Overall, the area was lovely and we had a fantastic month. The sour note the rental ended on was unfortunate. ##### Amanda S.

Great for families, we had parents who could not climb stairs and it worked out real well with just a few steps up and down and the car driving all the way to cabin. Close to lot of activities. ##### Santosh M.

The cabin was perfect for our group of two couples with kids and had a beautiful view. We had a great visit and enjoyed the large porches, hot tub, and open layout that was still cozy. The hosts were incredibly responsive and answered all of our questions. Thank you! ##### Rebecca H.

Just a few minutes from the water. This house has a nice layout and is very cozy. The host was always quick to respond and seemed happy to assist. ##### Richard C.

We had a wonderful time. The road up tested our nerve a bit but we got used to it. Could update suggestion book with attractions and supply locations that are close by, we discovered more places to visit on our own that were not an hour’s drive away. Otherwise, it was a wonderful experience. ##### Beth M.
