We had an excellent stay at this property, one of the best I've ever enjoyed.
WHAT I LOVED:
1. Wood-burning fireplace
2. Well-stocked kitchen with coffee filters, extra paper towels, leftover containers, and a blender
3. Night lights, flashlights, those little portable battery lights
4. The view!
5. Space heaters for bathrooms
6. Lots of pillows, towels, sheets, small rugs
7. Clean and large washer and dryer
8. Rocking chairs on the porch
9. Cute ladybugs for good luck
10. Many electrical outlets, fast wi-fi
11. Hot tub and easy-to-use cover
12. Good communication with the host who answered my not-really-dumb-just-tired questions
13. Plenty of hot water for the shower, the variety of lighting in the bathrooms
14. Unscented laundry soap
15. Subtle holiday decorations
16. Extreme privacy
WHAT WOULD HAVE MADE IT BETTER
1. The hot tub temperature only got to a high of 97. Fortunately, the shower was good and hot
2. Neither of the DVD players worked but there was a good HDMI cord so I used my laptop to stream Netflix
3. Like I ask all hosts, more hooks to hang clothes and towels, unscented hand soap.
This was a fabulous cabin and a great location. I enjoyed hiking all the way up, up, up the road where I saw deer and turkey and made my legs good and sore. I like that the road is gated; I didn't worry about hunters. We mostly relaxed and rested on this trip but in the past have spent more time in downtown Bryson City, hiking in the woods, and shopping in Waynesville. This is an absolutely beautiful part of the country and I'm grateful to the Lasseters for sharing their delightful house with us. We'll be back!
