GREAT MOUNTAIN VIEW/CABIN/Reviews! (#34797)

Write a review We've rented cabins in the Smokies before, but never in NC. Wow! In the future, we'll skip Gatlinburg and PF and go right to NC, Nantahala, etc. The road up to the cabin is a couple hundred yards off the Blu Ridge Parkway (a beautiful ride all the way in). We were so busy on our summer vacation, we usually got in after dark and left early morning. Next time we'll enjoy the sunrises and sets on the huge porch and back campfie area. We had everything we needed at the cabin. We wish we would have spent more time there. The rate was extremely attractive for in-season, and Robert was very gracious (we actually booked it after midnight the first day of our stay!). The southern side of the Smokies is the place to be. Our family suggests White watering the Nanatahala River, renting a pontoon for the day on Lake Fontana, Bryson City, the Jet Boat Ride just past Bryson..and of course, all of the normal hikes in the park (to the top of Chimney Tops...wooo-hoo, we made it!). Thanks Bob. Our stay at this cabin was great. They didn't forget anything. There were even night lights for the kids. It was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the porch, firepit and the convenient location to everything. I have already told my friends and they are planning trips as well. We will surely go back again. We were looking for a mountain retreat with access to the hiking trails of the Great Smokey Mountains to enjoy with our son on leave from the Army before heading to South Korea for a year or two- we were very pleased. If the master bedroom had a queen-size bed, we would have rated this home as a 5-star experience. But everything else was so nice that we will certainly consider coming back again. We also appreciated the very warm and hospitable interactions that we had with both Bob and Glenda. Although we do not know them personally, we very much appreciate the sincerity with which they tried to ensure we had a great time. Finally, our security deposit was returned in a very timely fashion. Anyone wanting away from the hustle and bustle of everyday should book this cabin retreat! A great place to relax and enjoy nature during the day as well as sit on the porch relaxing in the coolness of the evening/nights. Thank you for sharing this little slice of heaven with us. Even though we were only there for four days it was just what we needed. The cool mountain air, the beautiful cabin, the gorgeous view. This was the most relaxing and rejuvenating vacation we have ever had. I can't explain what it does for your body and soul, to be on the porch in a rocking chair enjoying the view and watching the hummingbirds. For a little while you let go of all your worries and cares and just relax. We will definitely return, God willing. Thanks for working with us to make our vacation happen. We had a really great time. The view was everything you said it would be. My 4-year-old saw his first hummingbirds! He did not want to go. My 13-year-old and I had a wonderful time riding all over on the ATVs. Even my parents enjoyed this activity! how awesome!! My wife really enjoyed lots of relaxing peace and quiet. The home was very clean and ready to use (the breakers were on and hot water was available!). Everything was great! Thanks! What a joy to leave the mid-80 degrees in Florida (in April) for temperatures dropping to 30 at night, 50-60 during day! Our 3rd stay, and it's just getting better! So much to enjoy, but the most enjoyment for us is to be away from it all, and take in the simple things in life.....real peace & quiet, daily walks, reading, naps, and special time to let your mind unwind. Excellent location; just a short drive to restaurants and most anything else you need. Very convenient! Clean, comfortable, relaxing, friendly locals. We'll be back soon! A place where beauty is more than can be imagined.You can sit back in a rocking chair on the porch,drinking your morning coffee.From there you can see all the fall colors,and the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.The cabin itself makes you feel right at home. You have everything you need right there.It's really nice the way it's decorated,so cosy.I will be going back.The cabin is set in such a beautiful location,there is still so much to see.But just sitting in that rocking chair,looking across to the mountains,I believe was the most peaceful.I will go back,Brenda It was everything you said it was!I had such a restful, relaxing time.It was neat to watch the hummingbirds and other wild life.The mountain view was beautiful.I would recommend this cabin to anyone!Can't wait to go back, Jeanette We had a wonderful time at your cabin. It was so cozy and very clean! We will definitely visit again. It is such peaceful spot and the relaxation was just what we needed. We enjoyed sitting in the rocking chairs on the porch and watching the hummingbirds. Also, loved the ever changing mountain views! We visited water falls and enjoyed ride on the "Great Smoky Mountains Railroad". Thanks for sharing your cabin with us!

What a wonderful visit we had in your peaceful cabin. It was so delightful to watch the hummingbirds and chipmunks make their daily visits. We were also treated to a late afternoon thunderstorm which was so relaxing. The soft rain was just the perfect backdrop for a good book and a little nap. Thanks for sharing these experiences and fantastic views. We loved every minute. Thanks again.

Dear Mr.and Mrs. Bennett,

We had a wonderful 2 days at the cabin last weekend, and thank you very much for helping make that possible. Our friend from Clemson University and my wife are like sisters (my wife is an only child) and I don't think they stopped talking for a minute except when sleeping! I enjoyed the quiet location and just doing some good R&R!
May you have a blessed Labor Day weekend!

Faithfully,

Steven F.

What a wonderful time to stay at your cabin! It was in the 60's most of the time. The rhododendron were in full bloom and we saw many hummingbirds. We will come back again soon.

We enjoyed our stay here. The waterfall was a peaceful thing to hear. The rain was also wonderful. We went to J. Arthur's for supper and enjoyed the meal. I would love to come back and stay again.

We have had one of the best vacations of our lives. Temperatures from around 30 to 70 degrees. Most beautiful views ever and colors too beautiful to desribe. The cabin is also too lovely to describe. Had the most relaxing time of our lives and got to know each other better. No person can sit here and look and see and not believe in "God". We thank you with all our hearts.

With love,
