This is an adorable and inspiring little cabin. Natalie has done an excellent job in creating and maintaining this space. The cabin is up on a hill above town, and the AT is just steps away from the door of Chickadee. We had an awesome time admiring the cabin's smart and beautiful use of a small space, walking to town, hiking up mountains, listening to bluegrass in town, getting into the extensive (and somewhat hilarious) DVD and VHS collection, and visiting the hot springs resort. We also went to Asheville several times for breweries and into Tennessee for a hike; we found it easy to get around to nearby places. Thanks to Natalie and family for an excellent vacation spot!

This is the most adorable little cabin! The Appalachian trail is literally steps away, and it's a very short walk or drive into town for some great food. Will definitely stay here again if I'm in the area!

Nice location. The cabin was nice and cozy. Easy to find. Cabin as described.

Natalie was awesome!! I asked her weeks in advance if she would be willing to leave some books about plants and she did! (There are a couple books on medicinal plants at the cabin already though). You also HAVE TO absolutely follow the directions she gives you. We came in through Newport which took us opposite of the downtown area. So start downtown and use her directions. The cabin is connected to her other cabin she owns (so like a duplex) which I didn't realize, but was totally fine with it. Also, it's across to an AT hostel (which is basically all hikers if you come at the right season) I recommend staying up late with them; they're always so fun!

We had an amazing time very close to trails and town. Walkable!!!

Natalie's cabin is wonderful. It has everything you could want and more. It is in the perfect location, near several trails and the town.

Natalie's little nugget of serenity in the woods is a perfect get away. Just off the main drag you feel as if you are literally in the woods! It was super clean, cozy, and well equipped. The DVD and VHS collection was nothing short of amazing and the double bench/twin bed setup in the den made relaxing for two so perfect. Natalie was very communicative and quick to respond with anything we needed during the stay and even let us check in a bit early so we could make our 4:00 appointment at the spa. I will definitely be back!

Roman was a great host and the cabin is in a beautiful location.

My family and I stayed here for an overnight trip and we loved it! This place itself was surprisingly spacious, quiet, clean, furnished with all the basics we need to enjoy. The location was perfect, close enough walk or drive to all the places in Hot Springs but surrunded by quite a scene of woods. Roman was very responsive and accommodating, always quick with answers. I would love to stay there again.

The cabin is awesome! It has everything we needed for an overnight getaway with multiple family members. There was more than enough space for a group of us, we really enjoyed the hot tub, and fire pit. It’s only a 15 min walk from downtown Hot Springs but still provided a secluded and private feel. It was more beautiful in person than in the pictures but Roman said he was in the middle of updating the listing during our stay with newer pictures. Once again, thanks for accommodating us on such short notice and we are already planning a trip back to Hot springs, this time for a longer stay.

Even though been using Airbnb for several years, there is still a level of nervousness not knowing what you are going to find when you get to the location. The second we drove in to the driveway I knew this was going to be an awesome location. Literally around the block from downtown it was so convenient to get to yet secured. The rooms were clean and spacious, the large deck and living room enable our large group to do lots of activities together. Roman, the owner was absolutely amazing. From personal touches to the amazing communication. We will be back again and can't wait.

What a wonderful anniversary trip! Hot Springs is such a magical place. The people are super friendly, and being able to stay so close to the Appalachian Trail was a dream. Melanie was a great host and her house was every bit of what we hoped for on our first visit to NC. Thank you so much for opening your home up to us. This is a trip for the books.

The space was great & the location couldn't have been better. All in all, very cozy. I'd definitely recommend staying here. Melanie stopped in just as we arrived & helped with the hot tub & the technical difficulties we were having. She was very pleasant & her directions were great over the phone. She was always available when needed before & during our stay. A very pleasant host & quite the perfect cabin. The 2 boys loved the bunk beds & the hot tub. The pink tiled bathroom was my favorite!

Description was accurate. We stayed in this cabin on two occasions. I'd highly recommend as a staging point for an AT hike, or to visit Hot Springs. I was made to feel very welcome.

A funny thing happened on the way to Melanie's beautiful Arts & Craft cabin. We were in the middle of dinner when Melanie and her husband showed up to gently inform us were in the wrong house. A good thing too since the one we were in was nothing like the pictures. We moved, she was as gracious as she could be and even delivered a special welcome package of great stuff for "her" mistake. The cabin is perfect, great front porch sitting or more private back by the tub or the cooking pit. The living room, dining room, bunk room and kitchen would be perfect for a larger group, all the mechanicals worked--we didn't try the hot tub cause we went to the Hot Springs instead. A short 3 minute walk into town or an offshoot of the AT about 50 yards from the house. The hiking near the house is the reason many people come as well as the views or white water kayaking. We shouldv'e stayed a week. Maybe next time.

Melanie was great and made me feel very welcome! Location was perfect and a great get away. Melanie also gave some great advice on what to do in the town of Hot Springs.

Morning coffee on porch toward mountain view. Leisure walks through Hot Springs. Glad to support local businesses (restaurants etc). Variety of hiking choices. Relaxing but tons to do. Glad to find a perfect vacation spot.

The host was very nice. The home advertises sleeps up to 6 people. Yet you are charged extra per night, per person for anyone over 2 people. Even young children. The home has peeling paint in several rooms. This is a very old house. Lead based paint is a health hazard if not contained as dust comes off of it when it is cracked and peeling. There were possible black mold spores, on the ceiling, in the one bathroom. The home was musty and damp. The front porch was nice and the hot tub was relaxing. We had 2 small children with us so for their health and ours, the lead based paint and mold was a big concern. The cabin is right on the main road in town located on a narrow blind curve So it is a bit scary getting out of the driveway. A circular drive would make more sense where the property is located. I would most likely check with some other options in the area when I come back. Definitely the peeling paint and mold would need to be remedied before I would stay here again. With all these challenges, the home did have a charming and homey feel. Ann Taylor

The Chestnut is a sweet cabin . I have stayed twice now and plan on making it a biannual family tradition ! It has beautiful dark wood everywhere , a kitchen easy to cook in , A HOT TUB , and a purrfectly charming front porch . Melanie has an impressive library , a spacious dining room and ( my favorite color ) vintage pink bathroom ! Finally , when I discovered that I forgot my fan which I require for good solid sleep , a simple text was all I needed to do before , BOOM ! There was a fan at my front door ! She also left us alone and didn't hover . A perfect hostess !

What a beautiful and peaceful place. We would love to stay there again, hopefully for a full week next time.

This was a fantastic spring break getaway for my boyfriend and I! Mary left 6 large eggs in the refrigerator for us which was an awesome surprise. The cabin was super clean and cozy. The hot tub out back was private and overlooked the pond and the mountains and it stayed warm enough when we used it. Chip was super cute! We would absolutely stay here again! There were coffee filters to use which was nice. There were plenty of clean towels and blankets.

Lovely, scenic, quiet and peaceful with a funky and fun decor. We would like to have been able to spend some more time here. Hot tub was excellent and love the 'on your honor' greenhouse.

Where do I start.. As two professionals who are surrounded by the hustle and bustle of life, this was a treat! The hot tub was amazing and being able to enjoy the quiet and peace was truly restorative. All around.. Just what the doctor ordered!

Excellent stay, great kitchen, courteous hosts, very private and quiet. If you need groceries to cook, I would recommend getting them before coming into town as the options are somewhat limited in the town of Hot Springs.

We loved our stay at Pine Cabin. Beautiful farm close to hiking and scenic drives. We especially loved soaking in the mineral water hot tub!

This was an add-on day to our stay at Goldfinch. This is an excellent place to take your pack off, take a hot shower, relax and enjoy the clean, comfortable and quiet rooms. Natalie is responsive and there when you need her. The cookies and sweet welcome note made it the perfect place. Highly recommended !!!!!

I arrived late in the evening in Hot Springs and it was really dark and rainy and I had never been there. Finding the Goldfinch was easy, though, because it is located right beyond the monument in town, and the town is very small. It was a welcoming, clean, quiet and comfortable place to stay, literally right across the street from a hiker hostel and the Appalachian Trail. We met Natalie and she is super nice. My phone did not work while in the car, but the wifi in Goldfinch works great. Just make sure to map your drive in and the address to the house and you shouldnt have a problem. I highly recommend staying there, and I hope to return.

Cabin was cuter than portrayed, and a perfect escape! Natalie was prompt and helpful in all her responses.

Wow!! This place was amazing! Comfortable, clean, perfect location, cute little town... My husband and I are still talking about it. It had everything we needed and the owner even allowed us to have an early check in so we could start enjoying Hot Springs and the AT. I will definitely be keeping this in mind if I ever get to hike the trail! Thank you for having us!

Natalie was very welcoming and helpful. Very clean and cozy cabin/apt.

We had a great stay in Goldenfinch. Easy access to everything we wanted to do. Comfortable, clean, and Natalie really had it dialed for convenience in the cabin. Can't wait to return! Thanks Natalie!

This is an awesome location— you are literally steps from the AT and surrounded on 3 sides by the woods, but if you forget something (which we did, of course!) you are also a minute from town. It's the perfect spot for exploring the area! Natalie is a great host, and we had a wonderful time!

The Goldfinch cabin was perfect as our base to explore the mountains!! It is in a great and accessible location , tucked on a hill right above downtown hot springs and close to a lot of areas to explore. There are a lot of little birds to watch in the hedges near the cabin and two black cats even came by a few times and visited us. Natalie responded to a plumbing issue very promptly and professionally. We were able to meet her and she was very sweet and accommodating. We definitely want to come back to the little bird cabins!

Great location, quiet, scenic and peaceful. Melanie was great, she was reachable at any time and quick to respond if anything was needed. Hot Springs is a hidden gem.

This was perfect for my trip to The French Broad River Festival. It rained most of the weekend, having a nice warm house to walk back to was nice after a long day of music and activities! Melanie was a great host! Stopped in when I was checking in to make sure everything was set for me and I didn't have any questions. Plus her husband stopped by my vendor tent at the Festival to say hi! They were wonderful hosts.

5 minutes after we walked in the door we were already planning our next visit Melanie stopped by to say hello and introduce herself -excellent host and has lived in hot springs a long time & knows the town Communications excellent The cottage exceeded expectations -immaculately clean , & comfortable Super fast internet Nice private back yard with a rare treat .. a bubbling brook/creek that was mesmerizing We love Hot Springs-got in 10 miles of loop AT Hikes and enjoyed local restaurants The hot tub was nice to relax in as well We will definitely be back Only down side was we felt it was a bit over priced With taxes, cleaning & fees we paid $451 for 2 notes that a lot

Hot Springs is an amazing little mountain town. From this cabin we walked the Appalachian trail in both directions, along beautiful ridges. The hot tub rescued our muscles on our return The kitchen had everything we needed to cook delicious meals, but the town has 3 great restaurants that can be walked to if your not into cooking. The space is large and welcoming, the couch and rocking chairs perfect for reading. We had a lovely New Years Eve bonfire in the fire pit. It was a perfectly relaxing few days and we will definitely return!

We had a great time and highly recommend Mary and Pete's cabin for a comfortable and peaceful stay. Everything was exactly as advertised.

We had a wonderful stay at the poplar cabin! Very clean and comfortable and felt like home. The owners even left us some fresh eggs in the fridge which made for a delicious breakfast. Our girls (and my husband and I) loved the hot tub. It was super clean and nice not to have to worry about chemicals with our little ones. Our dogs enjoyed swimming in the pond and relaxing on the big deck. It was a very short (1 mile) drive to the AT, where we spent hours hiking. We would definitely return in the future! Thank you Mary and Pete!

We loved the hot tub filled with the mineral springs water. After a long hike on the trail that was quite a treat. The location of the cabin was nice and Mary had everything ready for us when we arrived.

We stayed here for a quick girls trip--it was sooo lovely to have the hot tub with spring water!

Perfect cabin retreat! We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and were close enough to town to easily come and go, but also secluded enough to have a quiet stay.

Such a great place, I looked at a ton of cabins and after spending time in Hot Springs - I'll tell you this is the best place you'll find. The cabins are together on a farm / pond / large piece of land... Tho they are very separate. Doesn't feel like you're close to anyone. The cabin itself is spacious, stocked with the things you'd need like towels and spices, pots, pans, cutting boards etc. Then an awesome deck facing the mountains, a grill and a hot tub. It was the type of place you didn't want to leave. A few dogs around the farm too, which was super fun! Seriously stunning and incredible!!

Deb was really easy to communicate with and sent very comprehensive information about the house and the local area. The house is fantastic, even nicer than the pictures, and the view from the front porch is wonderful - but make sure to put bug spray on before you sit out there for too long! We only stayed a few days, but it would be a very comfortable place to spend a week or two.

deb was super quick to respond to messages and sent a very detailed email with a TON of suggestions for things to do in the area. the house was as-advertised, with an awesome view, and easy access to the town of hot springs. we will definitely be back!

Great spot for exploring the area. Cozy cottage, prompt communication from Melanie, and the hot tub was perfect for our snowy long weekend.

Melanie's place was great, and she was really wonderful about communicating. We had a wonderful time in Hot Springs and are looking forward to being back sometime!

Had a very nice weekend. Cabin is in a perfect location and nice and quiet. Lot's of great information provided regarding Hot Springs and local trails. Only criticism would be that the cabin was freezing when we arrived as the heat was off. Took a couple hours for the place to warm up and we debated going to town while it did. Also the water in the hot tub was set at a very low level, which I understand the owners had problems with people overflowing it but still could have been a raised 2-3 inches. Overall I would recommend and probably stay again!

What a cute cottage! It was exactly as described and definitely what we were looking for. It would be an easy walk into town but since it was cold we drove. The hot tub was such a relaxing feature. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook my husband a birthday meal. The bed was really comfortable and we slept well. Melanie was quick to answer all my questions and checked on us to make sure everything was to our liking. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful location in a great town. This is our favorite mountain town and Melanie's place fit what we needed. Shower is smaller than expected but the hot tub is such a great to unwind for happy hour or late night. Hope for a rainstorm so you can watch it from the front porch rocking chairs.

My husband and I had such a wonderful time at the Trailside cabin for our 1 year anniversary this past weekend! The cabin was so cute and in such a great location within walking distance of the shops, restaurants and hot springs resort. We spent hours sitting in the rocking chairs on the front porch relaxing and taking in the beautiful view. Also the hot tub was so relaxing! We didn't want to leave at the end of the weekend and will definitely be booking the cabin again.

Such a welcome place for us and our two pups. We were able to have such a carefree weekend w our dogs!!! We don't get to spend time all together as much as we would like because of our military service. It was nice to get away w no distractions. Definitely planning to come back:)

My girlfriend and I stayed out the Hound Heaven cabin. It was every thing we wanted and a little more. A short drive to check out the town of Hot Springs which was full of kind people. Plenty of hiking trips to choose from. This cabin was so enjoyable we plan on making it our annual getaway. The hot tub and cabin was clean and so relaxing. Other than hiking and checking out the beautiful views there isnt much to do. But there isnt much more to ask. In mine and my girlfriends mind, a vacation isnt measured in all the stuff you can do, its measured in the things you dont have to do. As for this cabin, a weekend of relaxation, freedom, and each others company it was the best vacation ive ever had. Thank you very much.

We had a very relaxing time at Hound Heaven. They had everything that we could have possibly needed, including some extra doggy toys and plenty of kitchen gear to cook supper. Loved the hiking tips too! Max Patch is a must see, and is an easy hike to the top.

Amazing, private cabin with a hot tub and fireplace! This little gem is close to hiking and the town of Hot Springs. Great suggestions from the hosts on area hiking and eating!

What a great cabin for a weekend getaway from Asheville. Private, clean, comfortable, and easy to access. Would definitely go again

After two days of hiking and camping on the AT with our dogs this cabin was a nice break like it had been before. Perfect fit for our visit and always a joy because of how wonderful it is for our dogs. Not to mention this visit a nice bottle of wine was waiting to welcome us. A wonderful way to spend some much needed time as a couple and fun for our dogs as well.

I had prompt and excellent communication with Jim and felt comfortable contacting him even after our trip ended. The house description was spot on, very clean and well stocked with supplies. We overpacked and could have easily just shown up with our clothes and essentials. The property was lovely, very safe (truly in the middle of nowhere) and our children had enough to do by exploring the house and grounds to be entertained for our stay. We were there with 6 adults and 7 children and had plenty of space to spread out with bedding options/bathrooms for each family. Would love to stay here again in the spring!

This was a lovely place to stay! The cabin was larger than expected and well designed with lots of places to enjoy the views and mountain feel. It also was well equipped with more than just the basics. Jim was very responsive and worked with us to accommodate a somewhat last minute booking. The trails on the property and neighboring paths were delightful. I highly recommend Doe Branch Mountain Retreat and hope to go back someday.

We had a wonderful time at Doe Branch Mountain Retreat. The pictures don't do it justice - the place is really beautiful, inside and out! It was very spacious, and with bedrooms and bathrooms on three levels, it allowed each couple in our family to have a little privacy. Our visit was in the fall and we thoroughly enjoyed the autumn colors, but we saw many rhododendron bushes so I'm sure it would be gorgeous in the spring, as well. We hope to return!

Jim was prompt in his response to our inquiry about the property and all subsequent correspondence about our reservation. He also provided very useful information regarding directions to the cabin which included important landmarks. The home was warm, inviting and clean upon our arrival. All the necessary kitchen utensils were available as well as beautiful handmade mugs for us to enjoy our coffee in each morning. With 8 adults and two children (3 years and 10 months), we had enough space to spread out and feel comfortable. The beds were comfortable and the additional blankets and sheets were useful for those who slept on the futons. The upstairs loft and bunk house were nice additional common areas to relax in and for the kids to play. The outdoor space and surroundings were lovely and peaceful. We spent most of our time outdoors hiking, fishing and relaxing on the porch with a friendly and sweet neighboring dog who liked to visit. Jim helped point us in the direction of a nice hiking trail that we all enjoyed as well as brought us supplies (paper towels, scrub brush) when needed. We visited the town of Hot Springs as well as Asheville and appreciated how close we were to them but how remote we felt when on property. Our time at doe branch was relaxing and enjoyable on many accounts. We would love to visit again, possibly in the fall or spring when the weather is a bit more mild and we are able to take advantage of the outdoor spaces a bit more as well as enjoy the views from the house. Our only concern with visiting in the winter again would be the drive up to the property-which is a steep road. 4 wheel drive and a strong stomach would be necessities to make it in the snow. Jim was available and helpful throughout our stay. The photos of the house don't quite do it justice. It's really a wonderful place to spend time in and make memories with friends and family.

Jim and Deborah's Doe Branch property is awesome!! Seven of us from Chattanooga, Raleigh, Boulder, CO and Tampa, FL gathered to celebrate an upcoming wedding and couldn't have asked for a better set-up. Everything was spot-on from start to finish, Jim was very laid-back and ready to help with any questions or concerns we had leading up to and during our brief stay. The cabin is fairly remote but not off the grid. It was really the perfect combination of modern and rustic and we were able to disconnect and absorb the great vibes of the Appalachians. The home is clean, well organized, decorated tastefully and all the amenities are provided including a good coffee maker and a beastly Weber gas grill. The outdoor fire place built into a retainer wall is a great feature. The land the cabin is situated on is gorgeous and we were able to really appreciate the diverse topography of the area on the various private trails on the property. Even our contingent from the Colorado front-range rocky mountains were impressed with the steep grades of some portions of the trails. This was by far the most professional and smooth airbnb experience we have had and I think folks would be hard-pressed to find a better destination in the Asheville area.

We had a wonderful experience at this beautiful home, secluded in the mountains of NC. An easy drive to downtown Marshall and not too far from Asheville make this a great retreat. Everything was just as described. Perfectly suited for large groups and wonderfully private for just two, as it was for me and my wife. Thank you Jim and Deborah!

Jim and Deborah stayed in contact before our visit and checked on us during the stay to make sure that we had everything we needed. The property is gorgeous and very serene. We are a family with 5 small children and the home more than accommodated us. We were lucky to get some early snow and sled down the hill from the house! I would recommend this property to anyone looking to "get off the grid" and will definitely consider it if we are in the area again.

My family and friends stayed at the "Vermillion Place" last week during the Memorial Day weekend. It was a vacation to remember and rejoice. This was the first time that we rented a place for family and friends to spend time together. The drive up the hill to the cabin was very beautiful and scenic. The last stretch up to the home was even more exciting.The drive through nature and away from the urban chaos was like arriving at paradise after a long and hard journey. The home was very beautiful. Everything that we needed was there. It was a very spacious and cosy place, and then suddenly we forgot all about where we came from, urban chaos!!! As we drove into the 50 acres of wilderness, Jim was mowing his lawn, he waved at us and then suddenly recalled this was an intellectual who loves nature and environment and is living with such harmony with nature. My friends and family had such a good time at this place that we fell in love with the home and its environment, it's beautiful trail, and the stream that runs thru it. This was more of a retreat for us than a vacation. We spend ourselves unwinding from our usual chaotic urban life and for once brought the kids out from within. And there was no one to watch or complain. One can scream and have all the fun with the family!!!

Danny and Ginny's are AMAZING hosts! Upon arrival we were greeted with delicious fresh organic veggies from their garden. The cabin had all the accommodations needed for a fun and/or relaxing get away. Perfect location and hiking trails on property. We will definitely come back and stay at Myra's cottage! Thank you, Elsa and Virginia!

Great weekend getaway place. Danny made us feel extremely welcome and the place was very clean with everything taken care of. Lots of fun things to do in the area including good hiking on the property. Would definitely come back here!

This is a great place to stay. It is quiet and surrounded by mountain beauty with the French Broad River at the bottom of the mountain. It is convenient to lots of hiking and rafting and the small shops, coffee shop and restaurants in Marshall are fun too. We thought that we would also do the 35 minute drive into Asheville but the area was so beautiful we were content right in Madison County. We did drive to Max Patch. Roads are windy and last part is gravel but in good condition. The view is fantastic. We ate like country royals. Even though it was late October we had fresh vegetables from Danny's garden every night.

To say that we had an incredible time at this cottage is an understatement. When we arrived, there was a fruit basket waiting for us and Danny was just up the road and came down to welcome us! This cottage is the perfect distance away from Asheville where you don't feel like you are spending too much time in the car. The scenery is incredible! I could have sat out on the back porch listening to the stream and playing ping pong for hours! This was my boyfriend and my first vacation together and we have already said that we would like to come back!

My girlfriend and I had an amazing experience at Myra's Cottage. The home was exactly as described, and Danny made sure to make us feel welcome and give us advice on the area. It was a perfect getaway vacation, and we would absolutely stay here again. Between the movie collection, ping-pong table, cast iron fireplace, outdoor fire pit, and the amazing scenery, it was impossible to find something we didn't like. If you enjoy a cozy, well-kept home with beautiful views and sounds, and the ability to hike around the woods, this is the right place.

This is the second time we have stayed at Myra's cottage. Once again, the host, service, setting, and experience were absolutely perfect. The cottage is squeaky clean, cozy, and located in a breathtakingly beautiful setting. We didn't have much desire to leave the property because there is so much to do right there - pingpong table, stocked bookshelves, tons of hiking trails (one leads to a waterfall) and a bubbling brook right outside the huge screened in porch. However, the cottage has easy access to Asheville, downtown Marshall, Hot Springs, and more. Cottage is also right down the road from the French Broad River and 15 minutes to the AT.

Danny's place was the most bang for our buck we've had yet. He is a very helpful and respectful host. The place was super clean, comfortable, private, very functional, with great access to the French Broad River. We came in the winter and it was kept nice and warm for us. The porch is a great bonus to play pingpong and hear the sound of the creek go by. There's a beautiful waterfall close to the house Danny showed us after coffee and tea before we took off. We'll be staying here again when we come to the area. We are giving Danny's a 5 star rating because we've never had such a comfortable accommodation for such an excellent price.

Nice anfrition and place Everything fill up our expectations Excelent is The word to describe this experience

Spectacular views of a peaceful serenity . Steve's place is amazing scape from the everyday hassle of life.

We loved our stay!! Steve was great and very welcoming, the cabin was perfect, very clean and the secluded location was amazing. Wonderful views and plenty of land and hiking for both the dogs and us. Such a relaxing stay and had so much fun, especially making s'mores at night! We are definitely planning a trip back!

This is a beautiful location, off the beaten path, peaceful, and serene. Steve was extremely welcoming and accommodating. He even had a fire going in his fire pit. After a long day of traveling, we had picked up some steaks rather than eating out - Steve let us use his grill to cook them, and he had cutlery & plates ready to use in the basement apartment. The separate entrance affords privacy and it doesn't get any more quiet than Deer Rock Chalet!

We had a perfect time here. Steve was so helpful and sweet. If you love dogs and the wild outdoors, this is a great place! He even built us a fire:)

Accommodations were very clean and well-kept. Host was very friendly and made the stay enjoyable. Would definitely come back.

Nice quiet place. The host was very friendly. It was not too hard to find at all and we made it up the little hill without any trouble in a Honda Civic. Hot Springs gets a little too crowded in the summer. I recommend you visit Hot Springs which is only 20 minutes away for lunch if you want but stay here.

Steve is a friendly, kind, and helpful host. Situated in a beautiful area of the Smokies, there is a balance between a sense of serenity and adventure in such a place. A lot of reviewers have noted the drive up, and truth be told, this is one of the better maintained private roads in the area, nice and smooth and plenty of grip. There's everything you need to get your day started, and a clean comfortable home at the end of it. You can take your morning coffee outside on the picnic table and Steve offered breakfast every day. I only wish we had more time there, to sit by the bonfire and hear more of Steve's stories. An excellent host, a lovely home, and a perfect stay. Ps: the man loves dogs!

We had an absolutely excellent time! Steve was a great host and the chalet was perfect. And my normally dog-shy German Shepherd even made some new friends :) all in all, could not have asked for a better stay.
