Very attentive owner
We had a couple of issues when we got there. When we reached out to the property owner he was very prompt with correcting them. The hot tub was a very enjoyable way to warm up considering how cold it got at night. If I had to give this any kind of rating it would have to be a 10 out of 10

Could’ve been a little cleaner it wasn’t cleaned very well. I wanted to have a birthday cake beside the hot tub on the table, but there was a big hole in the ceiling for the rain came in and Wet the table and chairs The host Was nice, but couldn’t get the water wheel to work. Just needs a little TLC around the area, but would love to go back.

WaterWheel cabin
The stay was okay.
Main complaint was cleanliness and maintenance.
Otherwise it was a very peaceful place and the owner was extremely nice. Troy was very helpful and check up on us often. He just needs to hire help for cleanliness and maintenance.

Family Vaca
The cabin was a cute, cozy getaway. My family and I enjoyed our stay and the jacuzzi was very nice and relaxing. I really liked having my coffee out on the back porch in the mornings. The jacuzzi building and the flower beds need a little TLC but everything else was great.

This was a great weekend getaway for two. Close to Bryson City, 20 mins from Cherokee and an hour an half from Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The hot tube was great after a day of walking even in the cold evening temps.

Cabin for Polar Expreza
So perfect for our family's annual Polar Express Adventure, the kids enjoyed the hot tub and loft. The cabin was as described and plenty of space for the five of us. Very ckean and host was quick to respond and informative.
We will be back in the summer.
Highly recommend as a place to stay with family.

Holiday getaway
Overall nice cabin, could use a little TLC on the steps and walk way to and from the hot tub. A few throw blankets for lounging after a long day of sight seeing and hiking would be nice. The internet is not so great so streaming movies had a lot of buffering but kind of expected that being up in the mountains it was really cold and Troy wasn’t happy with the comforter in the master so he brought us a brand new one that was so warm and comfortable. Glad we were in a Jeep not sure a sedan would make it up the steep dirt/gravel driveway especially after a good rain.
