Family trip in nature
The porch is awesome. Played games at the outside table. Ate every meal rain or shine outside. The view overlooks the river. The fire pit is on the river. The roadway (Woodchuck Ln) is deceiving. It is a single lane gravel path that falls off the main road. The houses are on one side, the gravel, and then the river is on the opposite side. Cleanliness was middle of the road for Vrbo stays. Warning: Wi-Fi was very slow and almost nonexistent. Cellular service is null. We picked it to limit the teenagers time on screens. It is just “mountain” internet. Not the hosts fault. You cannot watch a movie and surf at the same time. Cozy cabin with a view.

Rubies and Black Walnuts
Our stay was very accommodating for our needs. We were very close to the ruby mines which was the main reason for us to be in the area. Not only did we find rubies, but we also were allowed to gather black walnuts that had fallen. So, we REALLY enjoyed our stay! The only disappointment was the lack of accessibility to the river from the property.

Relaxing Porch Time
My husband and I stayed here to celebrate our anniversary. We really enjoyed it. The cabin was clean and set up well. We loved the front deck and having access to the Little Tennessee River. Occasionally, we did hear a good bit of traffic noise during certain times of the day. But, overall, it is a great get-a-way cabin for a couple or small family.

Relaxing vacay
Loved the location, very quiet and peaceful. Loved sitting on the porch most of all. Very clean and well stocked kitchen. Loved being here!!!
Needs more light on the porch we spent a lot of time out there playing cards and was a little hard to see. The only drawback we had.
Will probably book again for next year.

Wild Bill's
Had a great time fishing, floating, and kayaking down the river. Water access was difficult from the cabin, but Kevin, the full time resident next door allowed us to use their stairs and we were able to put our kayak in and take it out there. The view of the river from the large covered deck was beautiful and was the perfect start and end to each day. We enjoyed morning coffee and ate several meals out there. All in all, Wild Bill's cabin was great, and we look forward to returning!

Great last minute getaway.
Sufficient,clean comfortable cabin. Bed in Master was very high. One in spare room very low. Take your pick. Not secluded but neighbors are very nice. Grandaughter enjoyed the mountains for the first time. Went tubeing on Deep Creek. Was nice to escape the heat of Florida for 5 days. Weather was 60s in the morn.and 60s at night. In July!

Relaxation
A very wonderful stay. Was so peaceful and relaxing, just what we were looking for. Loved the view from the porch, could sit out and just watch the river flow. Will definitely be going back. The only issue we remotely had and we had figured out the best way for us, but was getting in and out of the driveway to the cabins. Still giving everything a 5 star either way and would definitely recommend to other people. ❤️

A nice stay
The cabin is nice. The Jacuzzi was a great place to just relax. I was a bit put off by the extreme "religious" quotes, pictures and decorations used in the cabin. As a person who has had very bad experiences with religion, I didnt appreciate all of that. The bed in the master bedroom is really too high and we ended up sleeping in the second bedroom. We made the most of our vacation, though, and will definitely book through VRBO again.

Relaxation dream cabin!
We absolutely loved this cabin. The location was beautiful, restful and a great local for fishinermen. The view was incredible and even the rain on the roof one night was so relaxing. The cabin was immaculate and very well stocked. The welcome book was a big help. They think of all your need. Belinda was super helpful!!I!! It was so great we had to add a night and she got back to me super prompt. So thankful for this vacation home for family together time.
