Perfect for peace, quiet, and seclusion
My wife and I were looking for a place to have a quiet and secluded retreat to celebrate our 30th anniversary. This was the perfect place for just that! The location is very remote, yet also close to many hiking trails, and other outdoor activities. We went to dinner in Bryson City one evening, which was not too far away.
The cabin is very clean and stocked with plenty of dishes, small appliances, linens, towels, blankets, etc. All major appliances were in great working condition. The TV's in the living areas and bedroom are hooked up with DirectTV, but they were rarely used as we spent most of the time on the porch soaking in the amazing views and listening to the chattering birds. The hot tub was in perfect working condition and was greatly appreciated after a morning of hiking and for an evening soak.
We were nervous about the driveway at first based on other reviews, but our Odyssey minivan made it up with no problems. Put it in low gear, take it slow and easy, and enjoy the climb as it takes you deeper and deeper into the woods with a wonderful refuge at the top of the road. It was easy and fun each time we traversed it after that!
It is difficult to put into words the feelings of isolation, peace and calm that we felt during our stay. We didn't want to leave and we definitely want to return. If you are looking for a place to escape the stress of everyday life and relax surrounded by nature’s peace and quiet, this is the place!
