We loved everything in this property. We had book the property for two days and felt its not enough to explore it to fullest. Kids and adults had great time in the game room, it was the best part of our stay. We didnt have to worry about kids, It was safe and entertaining. Multiple firepits and enough firewood. Plenty of outdoor space to relax and play. We will recommend and we will come back for sure for longer stays.

We had a fabulous time! It was a trip with extended family to celebrate my mom's 80th birthday and she says it's her favorite family trip we have taken because it was so peaceful and relaxing. There were so many fun things for the kids to enjoy outside and we loved how secluded the property was. We had fires every night, enjoyed hiking and the different swings and hammocks and all the great seating outside. The photos don't do the house justice, if we didn't live so far away we would buy it! Beds were comfortable and there are plenty of bathrooms. Kitchen was well outfitted and it was easy to cook meals for 16 people. The downstairs room was so adorable and the kids just loved all the bunks. We hope to come back again!

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful home and retreat. The expanse and beauty of the property absolutely exceeded expectations. The wild rasberries, humming birds, and visiting deer were an added bonus. Hot tub was great, beds were comfortable, kitchen was well-equipped and impressive. Recommend 4 wheel drive for the unpaved drive.

The hiking and spelunking was exceptional.
After climbing the steep driveway to the peek of the overlooking cabin the three families found their appropriate rooms and settled in. First impressions were great. Spacious and stocked kitchen and amazing basement game room for the kids and adults alike to have fun in. The trails were great and the two mines we explored left us eager to return. Hot tub was cozy and the playground was a cool design.

Could have stayed for a month!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautifully decorated property and honestly didn’t want to leave! The house is well-equipped for a large group, accommodating our family of children, young adults, and adults with ease. There’s so much to do here, from hiking and spelunking to stargazing and relaxing on the porch with a glass of wine. The numerous fire pits and trails provided days of fun and exploration, and the game room was one of the best we’ve experienced.
One note for future guests: the driveway leading up to the property is a bit rugged and challenging to drive on, so I’d recommend a 4-wheel drive vehicle and caution against using a low-clearance car.
Our host was incredibly communicative, keeping us updated with all the details we needed throughout our stay. Unfortunately, we were only able to stay for a week and couldn’t fully enjoy all the amenities the property has to offer. We’re already looking forward to coming back and making the most of it next time!

We were a large group celebrating a friends birthday
Everything was right there on the beautiful property trails,hot tub, volleyball,other games, hammock,fire pits etc. and the house itself was just amazing we were a group of 15 and it accommodated everyone amazingly from top to bottom!! The pics online doesn't do this place justice I definitely recommend this place for family vacations or larger group trips for birthdays or girls trip my only con is that we needed a heads up on the drive up to the house it's not for compact cars they can make it up but kinda difficult so it's best to drive a truck,SUV or jeep but it's well worth it to rent one of those types of vehicles if you don't already own one I was fortunately in my Equinox AWD and came up and down easily but some others had compact cars and had minor difficulties but other than that this is an Awesome place to vacation!! There are soooo many more amazing things about this house and property that you will see that I didn't mention because I will be tying forever but again amazing house and property I definitely recommend it!! ❤️ 5⭐s

Something for everyone at this lodge
The owner is very responsive and has great communication. Was quick to respond when we reached out.
The owner has put a lot of thought into this property. There is so much to do on the property for everyone. It was great exploring the trails and waterfalls, and the mine. They are fully stocked with board games, dvd videos, and books. There are plenty of comfortable sleeping areas.
Lots of places outside to relax...swings, hammock, fire pit, hot tub. You are in nature...so expect bugs of all kinds and sizes. Lots of beautiful birds too.
There is hand soap, but be sure to bring your own soap and shampoo.
To get up to the lodge, with its beautiful view, you go up a very steep and narrow, winding dirt road. It is much easier with 4 wheel drive.
There is a lot to do in the area. Its a great location. Would definitely recommend this lodge for a fun getaway in nature. We had a large group of various ages, and everyone really enjoyed

Excellent family home
Our extended family, ranging from 1-67 years of age, enjoyed a wonderful stay in this clean and spacious home in the Great Smoky Mountains region. There was ample room for sleeping with comfortable beds. The children enjoyed the bunks and spending time with their cousins on the property. It was nice to have so many outdoor and indoor activities to choose from. The kitchen had ample equipment and the second fridge in the basement was very helpful. The owner was very responsive to any questions. The basement is naturally cooler and the top floor a bit toasty but the ceiling fans, space heaters, and box fans supplied throughout make the entire home comfortable. The sturdy built in safety gates were wonderful with little ones and additional ones were supplied to be used as needed. Though others have mentioned the steep, 3/4 mile drive up to the lodge, it is doable. Highly recommend only going up and down in daylight if you are not used to driving on a mountain. This is an excellent location and home for a family getaway.

Full of adventures
Our family had a fun 6 day stay at the cabin. After figuring out how to negotiate the long, steep, and curvy gravel driveway when we first got there, we were very pleased with what awaited us at the top. The cabin was everything as described; the grandkids had fun sleeping in the bunkbeds in the play room downstairs, as well as the outdoor swings and games. The adults enjoyed the upstairs and the great outside amenities, including the fire pits and hot tub. Most of all, the two abandoned mines were enjoyed by all.

Birthday trip of a Lifetime
What a wonderful, magical hideaway this amazing property is. Our family of 16, ages 8-80, spent a week celebrating birthdays and enjoying the comfortable, clean cabin perched on the mountain. There is so much to do on the property, including hikes, abandoned mines, waterfalls, hot tub, fire pit for smores, and a hammock and swings for just relaxing. Sitting on the porch provided an amazing view of the mountains in the distance while the youngsters enjoyed volleyball, corn hole, and horseshoes below. The bedrooms and baths were comfortable and so interestingly appointed with various outdoor themes, and the game room well equipped including bunks to sleep 6. The host was so very welcoming and immediately available for any communication. This property is a jewel for any large group. We loved it and hope to return!

Yona Wrestling Stay
We traveled to Cherokee/Franklin for a wrestling weekend at The Yona. Four of our families stayed in this home and we had plenty of space. The house was clean, spacious, and had many amenities that kept our crew highly entertained during our stay. Our only complaint is that we didn’t get to enjoy the house as much as we would have liked since we were at a wrestling tournament all weekend.
Each of us agree that we’d love to rent this home again as warmer days approach so we can really enjoy not just the home, but the amazing property the lodge offers.
We had great communication leading up to our trip. Absolutely no complaints.

Perfect week in the mountains
Everything about this property is wonderful. There is so much to do and the lodge is huge and beautifully decorated. The driveway was a little scary the first time up but not quite so after that initial time. I don’t advise you to attempt it the first time in the dark. Can’t think of anything negative to say about this property. The Mountain Views were amazing and especially in the morning with the fog. We all had a fantastic mountain vacation and would love to come back again sometime.

Beautiful!
We really enjoyed our week at the Lodge. The Lodge is comfortable and well-equipped, and we took advantage of all of the amenities (air hockey, foosball, hot tub, fire pits, tetherball, sand court, trails, etc).
There ended up being 11 of us, and we never felt cramped given the large great room, finished basement and beautiful loft. We used the wall of bunks, which worked well for us as we had some working remotely and needing the privacy of the bedrooms. Internet also worked fine, allowing remote work for 2 for a couple of days.
Plenty to do in the area as well, and every trip out leads you through beautiful mountains and valleys. The Lodge is located within an easy drive of Franklin for groceries, churches and anything you might need.
Driveway is steep and gravel, but well-maintained. Our loaded FWD minivan handled it with no issues. And the drive up the mountain helps set the stage for the peace and privacy you will find at the Lodge.
Communication and hospitality from owner was excellent.
Note that some of the play equipment has a 100lb weight limit, but the kids that were under that really enjoyed the zipline and swings.
Truly a great place to recharge with family and soak in the beauty of God's creation. Great way to start the summer!
