  Laine’s cabin is extremely clean and we enjoyed every day of our stay. The drive up is definitely worth the view. The kids enjoyed playing pool and having fires at night. Beds are very comfortable and we enjoyed the quiet surroundings. Perfect cabin for a week away from it all, and a beautiful drive to waterfalls with downtown Bryson City not being far.

  This place is awesome. Every thing was super clean and the beds were super comfortable. Only thing that bothered me was that it takes 25 minutes to get to the nearest main road. Other than that everything was perfect!

  The cabin was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT for a weekend getaway with my husband! The views from the porch were stunning. Per Laine's recommendation we did arrive at the cabin in the daylight. The drive up the mountain takes some time and there are quite a few twists and turns on some very narrow roads. That being said, it was well worth the drive!!

  Laine is an amazing host! The cabin was clean and tidy with most everything we need to make our time there enjoyable. The Mountain View was worth the trip! It’s a long drive up the mountain but when you see that view off the back deck it’s so worth it.

  Absolutely incredible view. House seemed brand new, even smelled brand new. The only downside of this cabin is the drive there. It’s extremely steep and precarious and when it’s foggy out, almost impossible to see. But the house was beautiful, view from the patio unbelievable. The pool table and putterball were lots of fun. I would definitely stay here again!
