Beautiful home with a great hot tub and fire pit. Very private.

This is a very clean and convenient property to stay 10 min up the mountain from Nantahala outdoor Center. You don’t have to have 4x4, but it does help because there is loose gravel that makes it a bit tough for 2 wheel dr vehicles. We loved the fire pit and the hot tub!

The cabin was very nice, but do not try to find it in the dark. Roads to cabin are narrow, steep, and have some sharp turns. We almost didn't make it up the hill to leave the first day. We were in a mini van, but after down shifting and giving it a better running start we made it. Four wheel drive would be recommended. Cabin is dog friendly and we love dogs, but the cabin furniture had a dog smell which was unfortunate. We were missing some linen, but the staff was very helpful and took care of things quickly. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Location is perfect for relaxing and close enough to all kinds of activities.

We checked into cabin after dark on 12/26/22 and received a message that the water to cabin had frozen. So we would not have any water in the cabin and should use the jacuzzi water to flush toilets. The cabin did not even have a bucket to use for collecting jacuzzi water to flush toilets with. So we had to use a cooking pot. Obviously we could not use jacuzzi water to cook, drink, shower, wash our hands, or brush our teeth. And we couldn't enjoy the jacuzzi because that was our only source of water. We tried to find bottled water in several stores, but all were out of stock. So our vacation did get off to a good start. I even drove to the Watershed office in Bryson city to ask if there was any assistance they could provide. Maybe just a gallon of water. They told me that the whole area was affected by the freeze and they already bought up all the bottled water at the Ingles supermarket. No other cabins were available. So the only option offered was for us to cancel and receive refund for our unused nights or stay at the cabin and get a 50% water credit for the nights without water. We ended up spending 2 nights at the cabin without water. Finally on the 3rd day we received a call that the water issue has been resolved. 3 weeks later, I am still waiting for the "50% water credit". I understand this was an extreme weather issue. But the cabin should be stocked with some gallons of water in case of emergencies like this. So if you are staying at this or any Watershed cabin in the winter, make sure to bring some gallons of water just in case. Otherwise the cabin was great. The road leaving the cabin is steep but we were able to get in and out with our front wheel drive. Obviously a rear wheel drive or 4x4 would be suggested in situations of heavy rain or snow/ice.
