We visited here from Colorado. When we visit a new area and stay at a hotel we tend to power tour. We get up and go non-stop, because hanging out in a hotel room is just not relaxing. But then we end up exhausted. Staying here was a vacation! At the end of a hiking in the Smoky Mountains we relaxed in the hot tub, with a fire in the fire pit. A couple of mornings we enjoyed our coffee on the swing by a fire in the firepit. There were books, games, and roomy couches for an evening in. The beds were comfy with nice sheets. There was a washer/dryer so we could throw in a load of laundry -- so convenient! And the location was perfect, close to the mountains, Maggie Valley, cute Waynesville, The Biltmore, Asheville.... Before we arrived, Stacy & Randy called to introduce themselves, and let us know of places to go, places to eat, hikes & waterfalls they liked, where to see a beautiful sunset. They checked in with us during our stay to make sure all was well, and to answer any questions. We were celebrating our anniversary and when we arrived there was a balloon, a bottle of wine, and a tin of cookies. When we left they gave us some GF banana bread and a GF cookie for the flight home! Wow! Just like visiting Mom! They have 2 other properties, for larger groups, one in the mountains perfect for stargazing. We are so glad we chose this place!
