Don't forget to check out the area and all the amazing fun to be had. Bryson City is 16 miles away and Cherokee is 24.6 miles away. The NOC is right down the road for whitewater rafting, zip lining, bike and hiking trails, shopping, and dining.

Enjoy the two large decks as you sip your morning coffee or evening cocktails while taking in the majestic mountains and nearby lake around you. The bubbly hot tub offers the ultimate relaxation spot - treat yourself to a soothing bath after a thrilling day exploring the area. Or you might as well gather around the firepit for some storytelling with your group. Inside, the wood-burning fireplace in the living room will make sure to keep you all nice and toasty during your stay. Curl up near the fire and stream your favorite series on the smart TV. The kitchen will have everything you need to create your favorite meals, or sizzle up some deliciousness on the grill and dine alfresco. Decide who is going to do the dishes by playing foosball matches. The basement is 504-square-foot and is a great place to unwind and play games.

Missy R.

The cabin was laid out nicely. The neighborhood was peaceful. The only complaints I have is the hot tub was unusable due to the lid being broken and too heavy to lift due to water logging, the cleanliness was great on the surface but each bed had food and bottles under them and the kitchen trashcan had molded cookies and old food in it along with molded coffee grounds in the coffee pot. The large trashcan outside was half full of loose garbage from previous renters which made me nervous that I would be accused of leaving loose trash in the can. Despite that, I thought the cabin was lovely and added to my vacation experience.

fun game basement

Fun game basement for all ages. Cabin is old but very clean. No dishwasher so bring paper plates or extra dish soap if staying more than two days. Hot tub not working first day. Vacasa quick to respond and working the next day. Beautiful mountain view. Very hard bunk beds to sleep on. The theramstats are Eco and very difficult to regulate. Never did figure them out. The management Vacasa was great. On the rental of cabin you pay a fee to them and VRBO.
