We set the bar high when we planned our trip. Our twins had never seen snow so for Christmas we decided to take them to N. Carolina near The Great Smokey Mtns. We thought if it didn’t snow there might be some at least on the mtn tops. We selected this cabin because it didn’t have a steep driveway but we were thrilled when we pulled into the driveway. As soon as we turned off the car snow flurries were landing on the windshield. We could’ve gone home right then as our girls were thrilled. It only lasted about 5 minutes & there was no accumulation but it was pure magic to our girls! We went in the cabin & the posted pictures on VRBO did not do it justice. It was warm, cozy and inviting. Our hostess checked on us shortly after we arrived & provided a notebook with little things like where to find more blankets, instructions for the hot tub & thermostat. A reminder in the kitchen to leave the water dripping (since we are from Florida it was helpful!) She included places in Bryson City with different types of food. The cabin was only about a 30 min drive to Cherokee & The Great Smokey Mtns. There was wood for the fire pit & the fireplace. She included some info about warm weather fun too! We hope to return next year in warmer weather to give rafting & ziplining a try. We did get snow one night & our girls got to make snowballs. We did the Smokey Mtn Railroad & would love to do it again in the fall when the leaves turn colors. We certainly hope this cabin will be available then!

We had a wonderful stay! Everything was great—clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The cabin was perfect for a relaxing weekend, and we had no issues at all. We would absolutely stay here again.

My family of 8 (4 adults and 4 kids) had a wonderful stay here! It was close to everything we wanted to explore and had endless entertainment of games for us as we waited to ring in the new year. It fit us all very comfortably and our host, Jackie, was amazing at replying to our questions. The hot tub was also a favorite and was very clean. We would 100% come back!
