Absolutely amazing stay, couldn't have asked for a better experience. Was far from planned but it started snowing right as we arrived. Lucky for the wife and kids they have never seen snow so a much welcomed surprise. The views are breathtaking. Literally a perfect sunset view. The cabin is gorgeous and spacious. Our kids were obsessed with the game room. There is also a blackstone flat top rather than a grill that's shown in photos which was a huge bonus for our family. Host is amazing and responsive as well. Fair warning it's stated but I will say it again, you need 4wd. Really sad to say we didn't make it all the way to the falls. We got a decent amount of snow so we only made it about halfway down the trail. Definitely plan to go back and stay again though.

Host was nice and responsive. The cabin was perfect, great views from the fire pit and jacuzzi, and well maintained compared to many of the cabins we've stayed at. So far it was my wives' favorite stay. We found it to be well stocked with necessities including cook and tableware which was great.If you have any experience driving true mountain roads, imho the roads to this cabin are no problem. Gravel was down where necessary, and a good portion is paved. 4wd high and enjoy the view on the way up. Our 2 golden doodles had a blast hiking around with us, and the waterfall was incredible and a fun little trek. We hope to be staying again this coming fall. P.S - Go pet the highland cows at walnut creek with Ms Faye in Bryson City if you get the chance.

Absolutely loved staying at this home. Had everything we needed. Very clean, had plenty of games, pool table and arcade for my nephew. Us adults enjoyed the blackstone and hot tub. The view is stunning, just know...take the hosts advice, go up the mountain in the day time first, lolThe host is very responsive.

You really need to be adventurous to appreciate this Cabin in the Woods. It was very beautiful and immaculate and the amenities are wonderful however it was too adventurous for us it didn't even want to go back down the mountain for any reason. The drive up is impossible in anything but a four-wheel drive and even then is so steep you feel like you're going to fall backwards and the hair pins turns only add more Adventure to the 20 minute drive up the mountain. It is a great adventure for those willing to rough it up the mountain but I wouldn't book this location again. If you do book I go to the grocery before you get to the cabin because you aren't going to want to track up and down no matter what vehicle you're in.
