I highly recommend the Best Nest. This home had everything we needed and then some. I have to say Gene, the owner, was a champ! We lost power due to a downed tree in the middle of the night. Once i called, Gene responded immediately, contacted the power company and kept us informed. So many blankets had been provided with the house, that we never felt the cold and power was restored in about 3 hours. I can't say enough good things about Best Nest... clean, private, well stocked and the views were amazing. A all the way.

Great for our girls trip

The house was clean and perfect for our small group. The view from the home is gorgeous! Wasn’t totally prepared for the drive up to the house but it was manageable. Would not recommend doing it for the first time in the rain but we made it! There were a couple quirks with the house itself we didn’t love, like there being open spaces above two of the bedroom doors on the first floor. There was no real privacy for the people sleeping in those rooms. We didn’t love that, made it hard to use the kitchen early in the morning or late at night without bothering people sleeping. Gene answered all of our questions and was a great host. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and had a wonderful time, thank you!

Spring break fun.

Beautiful house and great views. We enjoyed the privacy and quiet. Gravel road to the house was longer than I expected but in the end I think it was still worth it for the view and beauty. Wished we could have had a fire in the fire pit by unfortunately burn ban in the area at the time of our stay.

Good for what we needed

His house is in a beautiful area and reasonably close to Nantahala, Smoky Mountains, and other cute little towns. Was also somewhat close to a grocery store, which was convenient.The house was well stocked with linens, included shampoo, soap, and conditioner in the bathrooms. The house was very clean. I could not tell from the pictures, but the kitchen is actually on the first floor and the only living space is on the second floor, which made it challenging to spend time altogether when someone was cooking.The beds were very firm which we didn’t find super comfortable, but was our preference.The kitchen was stocked well with silverware and plates, but definitely needed some additional pots and pans. Based on the location of this cabin, I would imagine most people would be cooking in and need to utilize the kitchen pretty heavily. We had a couple questions while we were there, and the host was super responsive. I’m not sure I would stay there again based on the kitchen location, but it worked out OK for our stay this time.

Perfect Holiday Getaway

The property was lovely. The views were gorgeous and there was plenty of space for the whole family to meet. The kitchen was stocked spacious enough for us to make a Christmas feast and there were multiple indoor and outdoor gathering areas. Gene, the host, was very responsive and available anytime I had questions. He even surprised us with a complimentary early check-in that was greatly appreciated. My family and I had a wonderful stay and would love to return someday.

Long weekend stay for the Polar Express

The house was beautiful and so was the view! Everything was clean and in order. We really enjoyed our stay. My only concern was the 1.5 mile gravel drive going up to the property. We had some spinning in our Honda Odyssey, but my parents had no problems in their Subaru. Overall I would highly recommend!
