  5/5

  First, the owner is overly caring and responsive to your needs. They let us know before arrival that storms had knocked out power in the area, but stayed in touch constantly with power company updates. All questions were responded to in a matter of minutes. Instructions for the stay were clear and comprehensive. Before, during, and after the stay, they made sure we were attended to. This was greatly appreciated.Secondly, the house is beautifully appointed and stocked with everything you need. The owners also provided plenty firewood needed for this frigid weekend. We especially enjoyed the old, remote logging road trail at the bottom of the property where you can walk along the river for almost a mile. The fire pit down by the river provides the perfect late night setting (if it wasn’t in the low 20s). Instead, the family enjoyed the fire pit directly behind the house, cornhole set, ping pong table, and board games provided. Bathrooms were clean and had heating fans, which was a nice surprise. Bedrooms were spacious and cozy. One plus in our situation was parking space. Family coming from multiple locations had ample space to access the front door - we had 5 cars amongst 15 people in this cabin that sleeps 16. Location is quite perfect being only 10-15 minutes from Walmart or Ingles. The cabin is close to small-town Hayesville, larger town Murphy, and not much further to Lake Chatuge in Hiawassee. All felt close enough to spread our wings and explore. Fires Creek is worth the stop for a beginner hike with waterfall and bridge visit or a lunch picnic.Overall, this place is just about perfect. If I only had once suggestion being picky, I would suggest more seating in the living room with sleeping arrangements for 16. However, we made that work and will take away lots of memories from our stay in this mountain gem. Highly recommend any time of year!

  This was perfect for our family!!! Nice big home with comfort for all. Indoor fireplace with wood burning, and outdoor fire pit for smores and enjoying outdoors. Great kitchen with everything you need for cooking and grilling. Would stay again and would like to rent in warm weather too.

  Host was perfect for whatever comes up. I like these people!!!

  We loved everything about our stay here. The sitting areas on the porch were especially nice. Owner communicated well with us, and the home was nicely decorated and furnished. We will be back.

  Very nice clean home. Everything you would want for relaxing. Very spacious with plenty of space for a large group. Two outside fire pits stocked with wood to enjoy sitting around fire. One on upper back yard and one on the bottom back property next to the beautiful sounding river. Home has everything you need for the stay. Owner Gwendy was always checking in to see if everything was going well. We had 10 people there for motorcycle riding for 6 days. We will definitely be comimg back.Thank you Gwendy for allowing us to share your paradise.
