Beautiful property and view.

The cabin was very clean and large. It is great for a large family. Plenty of room to hang out. The deck had amazing views of the mountains.

Awesome place to stay...100% recommend!!!!

The hosts were amazing from start to finish. They were up front before the acceptance of the booking about the need for a 4WD vehicle. The home was immaculate and would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a seclided beautiful mountain home to rent.

Serenity

The home and surrounding area are beautiful! Alan gave very thorough instructions and checked on us via vrbo. They had everything we needed there. The view is amazing from the picture windows and porch. There are many amazing things to do within 20 to 60 minutes away. Would absolutely stay here again. You do have to go up the driveway carefully but is well worth it. There was plenty of room and they had everything there that we needed.

Wonderful location and property!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The pictures do not do this beautiful new property and gorgeous view any justice! Alan communicates very quickly and is a gracious host. The place is very remote and quiet. The last few hills leading to the house are very hard for a regular car to climb so if you don't have a 4-wheeler prepare for a short but strenuous hike. We did not mind it but a person who is not in good shape may not be able to do so. There are plenty of trails around the area and Alan has some spare maps in the house. When not hiking, we stayed on the porch all day enjoying the view. We highly recommend the Smoky Mountain Bakers which has a great stone oven pizza (and pastries).

Amazing Property Off the Beaten Path

We were looking for a place with a view that could accommodate 5 adults, and this location did not disappoint! It was as out-of-the-way as you could get. And, yes, you really do need 4-wheel-drive to make it up the driveway. The amenities were exactly what we were looking for. There were enough plates, pans, serving dishes, and utensils for us to serve our Thanksgiving dinner. I personally loved the radiant heat floor, and I now know what feature to look for in my future home. It was amazing that there were so many windows to watch the sunrise. I would love to see the view in the spring, summer, and fall. I'm sure it's spectacular. The nearby hiking and state park conference center with wifi were great perks. I wish we had more time to explore the area. If we ever meet my parents about halfway again, this is where we will stay. Alan was so communicative, and made sure everything was great throughout our stay. We couldn't have asked for a better host! Our best VRBO pick to date! Easy check in and very easy check out. Thank you!

Beautiful Autumn Weekend

This cabin is perfect. Lots of sleeping spaces, plenty of bathrooms, large kitchen, movies and books, beautiful views! The place is spotlessly clean. It is very near our “ancestral home” so is just what we needed. The colors of the trees and the weather was just beautiful!

Spectacular view

My husband and I stayed in this home while hiking in the area. The home was far more than we needed with one bedroom on the main floor and the other bedrooms with bathrooms upstairs. It is a great set up for multiple families or couples. The drive is steep, but our Acura MDX was able to do it without difficulty. Watch for deer as you drive as you are likely to see them on the way to the house. Very short drive from Carvers Gap and Roan Mt State Park.

Beautiful

This is a wonderful place to stay, and was centrally located to many great visiting sites. The house was clean, well stocked and a very comfortable place to stay, and the views from the deck were beautiful. The hosts were great and communicative. As others have mentioned, the road is best suited to a mid to small AWD SUV or an AWD car. I was in a 3/4 ton truck, and it was more difficult for me than my friends in their SUV.

Beautiful View and quiet

The Family and friends as well as I loved everything about this house. I would love to stay there in the summer as we went for New Year and the first time snowing Tubing. The place was clean, and quiet and had everything you would want for a mountain stay. It is a steep climb but typical mountain terrain. My Suburban did the climb in two-wheel but I know how to drive the terrain and if you're not accustomed use 4 or all-wheel drive so you don't mess up the road. I would highly recommend this house if your willing to treat it with respect as it deserves that at the very least. The area is great for anything you want to do and if you just want to stay home it is great for that too!

Relaxing, Getaway Location

Everything in the house was as described. Alan was a great communicator and replied quickly. His written directions were indispensable and a must have. The driveway to the house is difficult. A GOOD driver, dry driveway, and patience are necessary to successfully climb the driveway in a two-wheel vehicle and you won't want to make the trip often.

Beautiful get away!

We loved the seclusion of this place. Spent a lot of time on the covered deck enjoying the view of the surrounding mountains. Even though the cellphone service is spotty it was nice to still have WiFi available. The layout of the house was great. We had 3 couples and two teenagers with us and never once felt crowded. The 4 bedrooms and three baths were a big reason we chose this place. Would love to stay here again.

Perfectly Serene

This was such a perfect place for my family and I to stay. The location is secluded without neighbors within 300 yards. The home is large. It feels much larger than the pictures actually portray. We spent most of the days just relaxing on the deck and listening to the birds sing. It is about a 15 minute drive to the grocery store and gas. Roan Mountain state park is right down the street with beautiful hiking trails and the Doe River as well. The views are amazing!!! I cannot honestly think of anything this property lacked. We will definitely be booking this home again.
