Great hospitality

Great experience and hosts were very accommodating and helpful. Always ready to provide anything you need. Great location embedded in the Nantahala Forest and close to the river. The van out front with the bears in the front seat is likely one of the coolest things. Had a great time and recommend to no-one so it’s our little secret! :-). JK. You won’t be disappointed staying here. Cheers!

I love how small these cabins are nestled in the mountains. The rooms are decent size but only ten of them so a very small community. Which is quiet and great. Easy to get to. Has kitchenette which is great and ice and little snacks in vending machines for purchase. Comfortable beds and very clean. Would stay here again.
