We were not here long enough to cook for ourselves, but that is a big factor when I book stays. This had a full kitchen, grill, fire pit, washer, dryer and ample space to eat and lounge. Plenty of off street parking for our cars. In between the Tail and town. We will be looking to stay here again. ##### William S. Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ginger H.

The cabin is at the end of The Tail of The Dragon. We rode many beautiful roads from the cabin. It’s does have a musty smell but everything was nice inside. Little cover for the two bikes. ##### Brett G. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### deborah m. Jun 24, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Needs a great deal of work Three bedrooms and we could only use two since the other bed squeaked so bad, I slept on it instead of one of the couples and we had to use the couch. That was a problem with the yard light shinning in both windows Put the covers over your head. No soap in the shower so we had to wait until our next stop to shower. The water was so bad we use the bottle water to brush teeth. Fire had occurred in one room on door to the furnace . No ice trays, dish cloths to do dishes. It was a place we couldn't wait to get away from. Worst in all my VRBO rentals. I would like some money back on the rental since it was so subpar. How do I do that? ##### deborah m. Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa Oct 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Beautiful little home in a great location to the Dagon’s Tail and the Cherohala Skyway. One bed was a little low for anyone with mobility issues but they were all very comfortable! Lots of amenities and the host was super helpful. She had her dad replace the broken coffee pot the same day I reported it was not working. The home is located in a quiet neighborhood close to a beautiful lake and has cover parking for motorcycles and provides rags to clean them if you need to. I would absolutely recommend it to friends or family and hope I get the opportunity to stay again in the future! ##### Melissa Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jo Marie A. Jun 19, 2018 #### Enjoyed our stay! Adorable place. Amy has really thought of everything from the board games, kids toys, kitchen set-up, grill, etc. The only issue we had was that most of the windows weren't capable of locking. We had young kids with us and it was a concern staying in an unfamiliar place. We would definitely stay there again. It was a great location and great value. Thank you :) ##### Jo Marie A.

Aug 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Shower Renovation Away Very good location for driving enthusiasts in the area for the roads. Set on a quiet road just off Hwy 129 and less than 10 minutes from the conveniences of Robbinsvillle. It’s an older property and that’s most evident in the shower which has some mildew problems. Otherwise, the cottage is fully stocked and got rave reviews from my group of friends. I’m ##### Michael G. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kyle S. Sep 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Awesome owner!! This was the second time staying at the Collins cottage location. Would have been the third year but was booked up for the dates I needed it last year. The owner of the property is the best and love staying here. Was able to accommodate some of my requests and that alone is enough to have me coming back. Right in between the tail of the dragon and the skyway. For the price it's hard to beat since everything is more expensive and with a group of guys just needing a place to sleep between our rides it lines up perfect for us. Thanks again. ##### Kyle S. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joe R. Jun 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cottage Very cozy cottage. Positives, very quiet location. The fire pit and outdoor lighting was fantastic, added to the experience. Motorcycle covering was very nice. Negatives: the left rear element on the range was out. The dryer took forever to dry. Not enough electrical outlets, especially 3 prong outlets Again very peaceful and quiet with the lake close by. ##### Joe R.
