Great Home for Family Getaway
The house was beautiful with amazing views! We had plenty of room with 6 adults and 3 kids. The host, Gene, was incredibly helpful and responsive! The kids loved the the loft and having their own space to hang out, and we all enjoyed the 2nd level porch. We would love to stay at the house again!

Lovely stay in the NC mountains
I'm not big on writing reviews but since every one of our six family members commented on what a great house it was I decided to let others know. Gene, the host, was so good at communicating with us after the uncertainty from Hurricane Helene. The house had everything you could possibly need. We only wish we could have stayed longer

Mountain House
Beautiful house. Beautiful views. Perfect for our three older adult trip to a convention. The one lane, mile long, curvy, steep gravel road and driveway were scary. Because of that we would not rent it again.

Excellent Vacation Home
We are really like the house , everything was good. Easy check in and check out. Owner was very responsive. Location is great. Hiking trails and Bryson city not far from the house. In winter months we would recommend 4x4 car. Overall good experience we would go back again.

Great house, great host, with some chills
The house was impeccable, the view amazing and our host was very accommodating. The only two caveats are that the fire pit is practically unusable and would need some repair and the water heater kept shutting off. Our host walked us through the fix, which we had to do daily. Other than that, the house, location, our host were wonderful. It was a great place to share with family.

Amazing views and Beautiful home
This home is fantastic, the property is well taken care of and the views were Heaven. Its definitely a drive up a mountain road so be prepared but after the 1st ride up it was evident just how worth it, it was. The owner was very easy to communicate with and we genuinely hope to return.

Great Smoky Mountain Retreat
We enjoyed our trip to the Great Smoky Mountains. The house has an amazing view and was a perfect place for my family of four adults. The kitchen is great and nicely stocked. The layout takes advantage of the fantastic views. Communication with the host was easy. Take notice to the comment from other guests about the access to the house. We had an all-wheel drive SUV and it was helpful. If at all possible we recommend arriving in daylight for the first drive to the house.

Mountain View and quite quiet q
The view is true mountain living just beautiful and totally relaxing. Sit on the upper deck and just let life pass on by, this happens without you even knowing it. The house is set up with everything you need for a comfortable stay. I would recommend a 4x4 if you have one the road is stip and it helps preserve the road.

Family getaway
This place was such a nice place. My niece(4) and nephew(1) really enjoyed their stay here. They loved sitting out in the deck watching the trees and birds. This place was only like 20/30 mins from the NSP. The owners were very nice and quick to respond if he had any issues. They gave us some good recommendations to do around the area. Would definitely stay here again.

Secluded and beautiful
If you want to get away from everything and enjoy mountain vistas, this is the place for you. You are far enough from things to disconnect and relax, but you are also right in the middle of several great mountain towns - we explored GSMNP, Cherokee, Dillsboro, Sylva, and Bryson City, all within around 30 minutes or less of the house. We had a couple of small mishaps, but the hosts were so quick to respond and very easy to work with. They took time to give us a lot of good recommendations for activities and restaurants in the area, which took the guess work out and made our trip that much better. The house itself is very comfortable and clean, and the kitchen is well stocked for cooking. We enjoyed our summer vacation in the mountains!

Smoky Mountain getaway
This house was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. The view from anywhere in the house was beautiful. We watched the sunsets off the deck and they were amazing. Our stay was very comfortable and even the kids were able to relax and enjoy themselves. I will definitely stay here again next time I am in the area. Check out the thrift store next to the hardware store at the bottom of the mountain. We found some good stuff there. She had a huge selection of items.

Stellar Stay at the Best Nest
You can tell that the owner has taken much pride in this property. The kitchen is one that I desire to have in my own home. The workmanship is wonderful. Even better is the solitude after you get up the windy road to the top of the mountain. Four wheel drive is recommended, but my Volvo XC90 T5 did make it just fine (if you have a 4x4 option it may make for a smoother ride). The location is close to many trails and Great Smoky Mnt National park. The beds are so comfortable - much needed after enjoying a long hike. Communication with the owner was easy with quick response times. You can tell they have taken pride into getting the property ready to rent and plan on being back (hopefully very) soon.
