A lot of attention to detail to make things comfortable. Added bonus best little coffee shop down the hill! ##### Patricia B. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### A S. Oct 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Smoky Mountain retreat near the NOC We really enjoyed our stay! Cabin was clean with all the amenities - nice furnishings, appliances, TVs, and a hot tub, firepit too. You are between a couple other cabins on the road but it felt very secluded, and was easy to find and access. (Driveway seems intimidating but wasn't bad!) Located in between the NOC and Bryson City, we visited both. ##### A S. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Donna D. Oct 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had no TV connection on the first night we stayed. Coffee maker was very dirty had to wash it out ,to make a c up of coffee.House was clean , other than that ,furnished good. ##### Donna D.
