Feb 26, 2025 #### Amazing stay I've been renting from GSCR for a dozen years, and they are awesome. Our rental had to be changed last minute due to an issue with the house I had booked. The replacement was an awesome house that was very clean, functional, and well provisioned for cooking and bathing. As always, the directions, house instructions, area information, and customer service were top quality! I will definitely continue using and recommending them!! ##### William D. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joan C. Jul 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Short vacation trip We were very pleased with this rental. Kitchen well stocked with cooking utensils, appliances, dishes. Loved rocking chairs and swing on the front deck. Didn’t use the firepit but wood was supplied. Only complaint was the bed/mattress was in 2nd downstairs bedroom creaked every time you turned or got up. Overall a nice few days! ##### Joan C. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Tim D. Jul 7, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Home for everyone This home is for everyone, the view can't be imagined. It has so many bedrooms and bathrooms, and space we loved. Half wrap around porch with rocking chairs, swing, picnic table, hot tub. It truly is a wonderful place, as for the inside cleanliness, spotless. The cleaning crew does an amazing job. As for the outside, the owners need to have a cleaning crew come out and get the dead bugs off the porch and get rid of some of the many spider webs. But, all in all this place truly is amazing. We would love to come back in the future. ##### Tim D. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christina And Scott H.

Jul 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice house We were a party of 8. We brought a single air mattress to make the sleeping arrangement work. The location was nice for Deep Creek, Bryson City, and Nantahala. The pictures of the place are all spot-on. One of the bathrooms only has a tub, so there are only 2 showers. The two single beds are in the open loft, so if you put little ones there it is quite time for the rest of the house. I definitely recommend the place. ##### Bruce C.

Having the hot tub to relax in after a day of exploring the area was a huge plus. Everything you would need to be comfortable is in the cabin. Very homey. My only complaint would be the driveway. It’s extremely steep. You definitely need a 4x4 to get up it. That being said, we would definitely come here again if we were in the area. ##### Allison Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Silver Reef Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Silver-Reef-Casino-Resort.h16231932.Hotel-Information) > > [The Trail in Adams - Berkshires’ Art Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Adams-Hotels-Topia-Inn-An-Organic-Oasis.h12259511.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [C'mon Inn Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Cmon-Inn-Hotel-Suites.h1510580.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [Darien Lake Lodge on the Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Corfu-Hotels-Darien-Lake-Lodge-On-The-Lake.h13279584.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Kings’ Land Waikoloa](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Kings-Land-By-Hilton-Grand-Vacations.h2303745.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information) > > [Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Bavarian-Inn-Of-Frankenmuth.h9809515.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah’s Laughlin - A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Laughlin-Hotels-Harrahs-Laughlin-Hotel-Casino.h43310.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah's Cherokee – A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Cherokee-Hotels-Harrahs-Cherokee-Casino-Resort.h13319510.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Hilton-Waikoloa-Village.h19640.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [Semiahmoo Resort Golf & Spa, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Semiahmoo-Resort-Golf-Spa.h13986.Hotel-Information) > > [Shooting Star Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Thief-River-Falls-Hotels-Shooting-Star-Casino-Hotel.h28874246.Hotel-Information) > > [Canad Inns Destination Center Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Canad-Inns-Destination-Center-Grand-Forks.h1713856.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Southern-Pines-Hotels-Pine-Needles-Lodge-Golf-Club.h2222358.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tipsy Pelican- The Best Place To Relax!
