Lovely accommodations
The accommodations were excellent; however, getting to the house was a chore. And the cottage is not by the lake, you have to walk to get to the lake. All in all, we had an excellent stay and would recommend this listing.

Enjoyable Weekend
Property was accurately described and perfect for our needs. There are lots of activities in the area to keep the teenagers occupied. We hiked in the park, rode the trails at Tsali, visited Bryson City and NOC. We would book again.

Perfect, peaceful surroundings
Very clean, very comfortable everything is in working order. We came in on our motorcycles and the short distance you’re on Birch Trail is gravel and a little steep so a novice rider should be aware.

Hiking AT at Fontana Dam
This property had everything we wanted. Well supplied kitchen with pots/pans, utensils, salt, pepper, coffee, etc., Roku, etc. The cabin was not far from Fontana Dam. Also not too far from Bryson City and Cherokee. The owner was easy to get ahold. We really enjoyed our stay at this property.
