We fell in love with this place! The amenities were perfect, the host was responsive and HELPFUL, and the VIEW?! Absolutely incredible. It was the perfect mountain getaway to start out the new year.

We spent 4 days and enjoyed a peaceful getaway. The amenities are great - hot tub, upper deck and porch had plenty of comfortable furniture. We didn't use the bottom floor much but it is a great spot for hosting with a ping pong table, wet bar and refrigerator. Upstairs is the great room and fireplace were where we spent most of our time. The kitchen had everything we needed and we enjoyed many meals there. The location is remote, so expect a 20 minute drive to get to big-name grocery stores and restaurants in Waynesville. It's 40 minutes to Ashville, where we spent a lovely afternoon. Be sure to read the welcome letter for directions to the home because Google and Apple Maps will take you to the side of the road on I-40.

Very nice place to stay for the long weekend! Remote and beautiful location, and about 30 minutes to downtown and to hiking trains in the Smokies. Will definitely consider this again moving forward.
