    Our stay was great. My wife and I have been coming to this area for over 30 years. This house was great. The view was awesome, as well. The house was well stocked with everything needed to make your stay perfect. The host communicated everything with us before arriving and after arriving. He reached out to make sure everything was going well after we arrived. We also requested an earlier check-in which was done, but unfortunately we ran into traffic and didn't get there any earlier. The hot tub was enjoyable and the deck was great for just relaxing and sitting. Thanks again. Danny and Lorian

    We only stayed one night but wish it could have been longer! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The host was welcoming and communicative, and the location was perfect — peaceful, yet close to everything. We’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting the area. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hot tub was perfect after long day of outdoors activities. Central to everything, NOC, Cherokee outdoor drama, Fontana Lake. Highly recommend.

    Our family of four stayed here in August 2025 for Miatas at the Gap. The cabin is as good as it looks in the pictures! Everything was clean, well maintained and well appointed. Lots of appreciated touches like extra power strips and USB power outlets, surround sound in the master bedroom and main living area, streaming services, reliable internet. TWO DRYERS! get your laundry done in half the time. The deck is where we spent most of our time; the hot tub is well maintained, the pergola offers some shade, the rocking chairs were perfect for morning coffee. The kitchen is very well stocked with usable cookware and cutlery - often rentals have someone's yard sale, mismatched junk pans, but this cabin had a full set of high quality pots and pans, and a rack of knives that actually cut what you're prepping. The cupboards held ample seasonings and flavorings for both indoor and outdoor cooking. The grill was well kept with plenty of useful tools and extra propane bottles. Check in and check out was painless, the main door lock's number pad made entry and security a breeze. The host was communicative and responsive. Be aware that the access road to the cabin is all stones, and could get steep. We were there in two mazda miatas, and while there was plenty of parking for the two, sometimes accessing the house and especially backing out of the driveway was hairy. That said, any normal car, van or SUV would have ZERO issues.
