Beautiful Cabin

My family came to Waynesville for a wedding but we decided to stay a week and make the most of the area. The cabin was a perfect place for my family and pups and like so many others said, it was well stocked. There was nothing I needed that wasn’t in that cabin. The neighborhood was nice too and my kids loved the donkey at the gate of the community. Overall, the cabin was perfect for us and exactly what we needed. If we ever come back down, we’d definitely choose to stay here again.

Absolutely Spotless

This cabin is beautiful! The cleanliness was the best we have ever seen! The house had everything we needed and more. The porch was so relaxing!!! Comfy beds, great decor and furniture. The only feedback would be the porch doesnt have a gate for four legged members of the family so be sure to bring a baby gate or something to block that exit point.

Amazing!

A great, warm, cozy little cabin that was the perfect size for a family of 4 plus 2 dogs. Very pet friendly with the fenced backyard. The location was central to many hiking destinations as well as Catalochee ski area. Would absolutely recommend and stay here again. A gate would be a great addition to the front porch to keep in pets and small children. Thank you for the perfect winter getaway!

Superclean home in a great wooded setting. Had everything we needed. All we brought was food. Private firepit area in back with fenced in yard which was perfect for our 2 small pugs. No maintenance issues at all. 5star.
