We loved our stay here! Con’s shower isn’t the best and the stairs to the bedroom are super steep if you have any mobility issues. Pros all the other things! Hot tub was fantastic! Lake view although it was low I looked great. All the amenities you may need and plenty of towels, throw blankets etc. the gas fire pit was a plus too! The bed was sooo comfy nad the bedding was to die for! Over all a great stay!

This property is was perfect for my husband and I. Private, quiet, Great Lake access. Hot was fantastic. Kitchen had everything we could need. Super clean! Looks exactly like the pictures. I would say if you have an issue with stairs as they’re very steep to the bedroom and down to the dock, it might not be for you. But thankfully that wasn’t our case. Wonderful property! Will be staying again!

Great location for a little bit of everything! Enjoyed time on the lake, Bryson city, Cherokee, hiking the national parks, and Fontana. Everything you need in one place. Hosts were very helpful.
