The cabin is located centrally to many activities we enjoy. It made an excellent base to explore the area. Super friendly neighbors just up the road.Our host responded to questions promptly.

We enjoyed our stay! The cabin is in a gated neighborhood where the cabins are spread out, not right next to one another. The view was pretty and the cabin was clean. The drive to either Bryson City or Cherokee was not far (maybe 10-20 minutes either way) so it's a great location.

The house was very clean beds were comfy and the view was wonderful. We really enjoyed the pool table each night. There is only one working television and no wifi, which I didn’t realize until we arrived. Cell service is not good in that location, so the kids were a bit frustrated but they will survive. There’s a couch and a futon in the living room, but the futon cushion is worn out making it very uncomfortable. The kitchen isn’t super well stocked, but it was sufficient. It’s definitely an interesting drive to the cabin, but it wasn’t very difficult, we did fine in my husband’s large pickup. I think I read a review saying the windows were dirty. They are not dirty, the seals on some of them were broken and condensation had collected between the panes, not much to be done about that without replacing them. Overall we had a great stay, it was comfortable and a great location!

The views and neighborhood are beautiful. The drive is steep but doable and should not deter you.Although, the home has basic acceptable accommodations, but generally needs some updates. During our stay, the dish washer did not working, the fireplace did not have gas, and there was piles of dead wasps that clearly accumulated over a decent amount of time that should have been swept. There was also a broken glass that ended up cutting someone pretty bad. There was also a broken door to the deck that although there was a sign to not use, I feel should have been fixed. For one thing I wouldn’t write a review, but there was a lot of little things that i would expect the owner to take more care of

We went up to the mountains for a weekend trip. I was expecting the house to be very clean, but it was not. I expected to have a really relaxing weekend but instead, it was a stressful weekend. I walked into a house with a huge wasp and ladybug infestation. The whole weekend I had to worry about my two children getting stung by wasps the whole time.
I do not recommend going to this house because it seemed like the owners did not really care about the cleanliness, it was not cleaned very well prior, or that there was wasps. I had to call them a few times and email them l just to get an exterminator out to the house. After the exterminator came, then we had to deal with cleaning up all of the carcasses of the dead wasps and ladybugs all weekend. They were everywhere. Including our bed!
Once again, we were not pleased at all. I would not recommend this cabin sadly.

We have stayed at this house multiple times, and each time we do, it’s better than before!!!
We actually live in a cabin (in another state) and it’s hard to find a cabin that we LOVE. And this cabin, is PERFECT! It’s has everything you need for a short or long term stay. (It could use a little more cookware, but we managed just fine with what they have) The pool table is GREAT to have for family nights! The cabin is very welcoming and cozy! I have seen reviews about this cabin and the “bugs/bees” getting inside, but that don’t bother us because we’re used to it. You will see a few bugs in any house that’s in the woods (especially a cabin) but it’s really not a big deal. This place is BEAUTIFUL and has the BEST VIEWS from every room in the house!!! This is literally our “HOME AWAY FROM HOME” :)
The owners are great and was quick to get back with us when we had any questions. All & All, we had an AMAZING time at this place!!!
We will MOST DEFINITELY BE BACK!!!

This property should not be on vrbo it gives the site a bad name. The host is very slow to response and very heartless. Despite the fact that the house was never clean spider web and hundreds of dead and live wasp mostly in the living room, dead roaches in the cubboard. My son got bitten by wasp and I told the host and he did nothing. I call vrbo about it they also try to call the host. I took some many photos of the wasp in the house we were able to kill most of them so we could have stayed in the house since it was Christmas and we had no where else to go plus the road to get to the cabin was nerve racking, steep and foggy. We keep saying the host will come but no one showed up. There is so many I could write that was wrong in this cabin. The only thing that kept us going was the veiw of the mountains. Please do not book this pleace it horrible

Party complained about steepness of drive to house. Overall everyone loved staying here. Description should say three full baths rather than two.
6.0 / 10.0
The drive up to the cabin is very steep with several sharp turns and a one lane road. We managed fine, but felt the description could have mentioned that. The view was beautiful, though.
The cabin was nice, but there were a few maintenance issues.
The knobs on the stove would turn on with the slightest bump. Felt it was a safety issue especially with children, had to check frequently that they weren't left on.
The shower in the basement level could not be used because the door was broken and would not open.
There is a washer and dryer, which is nice. However, the washer barely trickled when filling. We had to use a pitcher to help it fill so that it didnt take 3 hrs, especially since it was required to launder towels before leaving, which was fine, but frustrating and time consuming.
Also, not mentioned in the listing is that you either have to take your trash with you or pay an additional 25 bucks to have it removed.
But overall nice cabin in a pretty location.

The view is really absolutely beautiful. When you’re not used to it, the trip up and down the mountain was a real eye-opener.
The host was very helpful and really easy to communicate with
Just minutes from the casino and if you have little ones you’ll enjoy Santa land.

If you have a large truck, re-think driving it to this location. You will be making 3 pt turns going up the narrow mountain road. Small cars no problem! That being said, once you arrive it's great. There was not a number on the house to let you know for sure you were at the right place, but it is directly across from the Gadwall aterrace sign. The rooms were spacious, view was great. I wish we could have spent more time here honestly. All in all it was great. The cleaning fee seemed pretty high for what was expected of you at checkout and they had not deep cleaned for what seemed like awhile. It wasnt terrible but seemed like house had set vacant for awhile so it was dusty. Not a deal breaker though. Great place!

This cabin was amazing! The gated community was private and peaceful. The roads were all paved, which is perfect (there were a few sharp turns, but since it's all paved, it wasn't bad). The kids were entertained the whole time with the pool table and the fire pit. We couldn't figure out the fire place, but that may be because we're Floridians and are not used to gas fireplaces! The only complaint I have was that this cabin was very loud. Oddly enough, it creaked all day and all night. Although my kids weren't bothered by it, it kept us up the first couple nights. We did get used to it, though! And the upstairs toilet wouldn't flush very well, but after plunging it for a couple days, we were able to pull a toothbrush out of the drain, which helped a bit! Overall, the location is PERFECT! We went to Gatlinburg one day and Asheville the next. It's so centrally located that you can go anywhere easily!

Cabin is centrally located and easy to get to destinations, views are perfect as cabin sits on top of a mountain. Beds were very comfortable. Drive up is single lane with cut backs and should be expected for a cabin at the top of a mountain. Only a few pull offs for passing cars. Best advice was to arrive during daylight at least on initial visit. Gated community which is nice, worth the price.
4.0 / 10.0
To say the road to this cabin is steep in a huge understatement. The road is only wide enough for one car but it’s the only way in and out of the neighborhood. You just pray you don’t meet another car when you go in and out. There is no lighting and the hairpin turns are bad enough we made sure all plans had us home before dark. As for the cabin itself it is in need of lots of tlc. Rotten boards inside and out so watch your step. On top of all this the owner charges a cleaning fee but expects you to do all the laundry strip beds and take the trash to a recycle center about 15 minutes away. If you have to do ALL the cleaning then what is the cleaning fee for? Oh and if you fail to do these things he charges you extra $25 for each thing you don’t do. Ridiculous demands. The only thing that was accurate was the view was beautiful.

The property was in a great location, but very steep drive up. Overall the cabin and owners were great. A couple of beds did seem to have dirty sheets, but other than that great property.

Pros -
The view of the Smoky Mountains is spectacular. The location is good. The kitchen is well equipped. We really enjoyed the pool table. The beds are comfortable. Neighbors up the road are very friendly.
Cons -
I would strongly suggest arriving before dark since the very narrow road is steep and includes hair pin turns. Directions given should include street names since there are street signs on the way up. The house number is not visible at all. The large feature windows need cleaning. The large door leading to the deck does not open. There are only three dining chairs. There is no Wi-Fi. The futon in the living room is very hard and uncomfortable. The cleaning fee is high considering you have to take all the sheets and towels down to the laundry room and haul away the garbage with you upon check out, which is an inconvenience when checking out on Sunday and the place is closed.

We were very happy with our accommodations. It was very quiet and the view is amazing. We would not stay here in the Winter because the road is narrow and steep. Some large vehicles may not be able to make the turns. We have a F150 and had to make 3pt turns around some of the curves. The road is paved the whole way which is helpful with the incline. We would stay again. Also it's a great location if you're visiting Bryson City, Cherokee, or Sylva.

We were 6 of us who stayed at this property and all of us absolutely loved the house. Early morning and evening views were breathtaking. The pool table was such a plus... absolutely loved it.
Thanks for such a great place :)..
We were not prepared for non-wifi but it worked out for the good ..we were able to connect with each other better away from technology.
It would have been good if there were some additional amenities like coffee powder and body wash. But we managed to get those from nearby stores.

******** fantastic view **********
Enjoyed having my family together here and we all enjoyed it. I would not come in the winter. Drive up and down would scare me. Would consider coming back.
No internet and sometimes cell service. pro and a con. Needed to get away.
Cons ***major issues **medium issues * minor issues
*** Windows dirty
*** Propane for grill lasted 2 meals.
*** Guests clean dishes.
*** Guests Takes sheets and towels off beds and Takes to laundry room in basement.
*** Broken door to wrap around porch. Has been broken for a year reading the reviews.
* Drive up to the cabin.
*** Do not give directions on where to take trash.
*** Previous Guests trash awaited us. Animals had gotten into it.
* Terrible pillows.
* No internet and sometimes cell service. Pro and a con. Nice to have when searching for directions to places.
** Dirty grill, actually had a fire and lucky I was sitting outside with the grill when I was warming it up. Had to clean what look like years of grease in it.
** Couch downstairs was better than the main room fold down futon. Futon needs replaced.
** Ice cream and pops left from Previous Guests. Could be a plus if you do not care about health reasons. I don't like to use others coffee, condiments, food, oil, etc because I do not trust they were not tampered with.
Question - what is the cleaning fee for if the managers do not clean or fix anything?
8.0 / 10.0
The house was very nice but hated the road going up to it. Not sure I could have driven up it but my husband did a good job. I tried to call once because TV would not work. we finally figured out that it was hooked up to DVD player and not set back to TV. I never got a return call. It is a nice place but not somewhere we would try to stay again.
8.0 / 10.0
Overall, it was a nice and beautiful cabin. Some repairs could be addressed like the door out to the patio instead of putting up a sign for emergency use only.
The drive up to the cabin was scary but once we got there, the views were great. We left a day early because they were calling for 4 inches of snow. Although it would have been pretty, just didn't want to risk sliding off an embankment on the way back down to the main road.
We never found the garbage place. Please list directions. Wound up taking trash with us.
The basement shower could have been cleaner.
The kitchen could stand more bowls.
We all DID have a wonderful time though.

We had a great time. The drive to the house took some getting used to. It's a big house we were a group of 8 adult's, we had plenty of room. Everything you needed was there. A gorgeous view all the way around the house. I don't agree with paying a $25 fee, if you didn't want to take your trash off, but over all I was very satisfied.
