Polar Express
We stayed there to take one set of grandchildren to Polar Express and will be back in 2 weeks with the second set. This was not just a house … it’s was more like a home. Has everything you could ask for and is immaculate. Check in and out is a breeze and owner answers quickly, Wow, a great choice!

A vacation to remember
The house was very comfortable and welcoming. Well stocked with everything we needed there is a store within about 6 miles which was convenient. We did a lot of riding while there and loved the area. We have a big bike trailer it was a little tricky getting it parked for us to get the bikes in and out but once we did it worked great. The covered patio was nice for leaving the bikes out of the weather. I would warn if you are not an experienced rider the road up to the driveway is a little steep and gravel so just be careful coming up and down it. The road coming in is windy and narrow as well but other than that we didn’t experienced any issues.

Best Little Get Away Ever!
This is undoubtedly one of the cleanest places we have ever rented. The beds were comfy and had the crisp white linens I like. The kids loved the downstairs playroom and all the games. The fireplace with instant heat was wonderful and so was the hot tub! The TV's were so nice and giant sized. The kitchen was well stocked and everything labeled. We came to ride the Polar Xpress and to tell the truth, the house surpassed the train. Thank you for a wonderful rental!

Wonderful polar express
This house was just perfect. Our weather was rainy but there was plenty to keep us busy inside, puzzles and fooseball. There were little touches of Christmas all around which enhanced our polar express experience. We will be back for sure.

2023 Vacation
Had a wonderful time. Hot tub was spot on. 20 minutes to Bryson City. Even went into Cherokee for a little gambling. Just a nice quiet place to stay. Would love to come back. So sorry for leaving food in the fridge. We were all heartbroken that no one got it. Pot roast was so good and the chicken pot pies. We’re looking forward to dinner when we got home and realized no one got it. 😜🙄

Awesome VRBO
This place was great. Clean neat and comfy. Location was nice and conveniently close to things to do. Finger Lake is minutes away for swimming and hiking also only minute away. The driveway could use a smoothing for 2 wheels but overall manageable. Very cool place would enioy another stay.

So happy we came across this listing. Took at couple of motorcycles and enjoyed the roads and a little hiking. Very happy with everything at the house, spa, comfortable beds, enjoyed the dart board, bluetooth friendly radio, and smart tvs in every room. Would like to stay at this property again. Highly recommend.

The property was immaculately clean on our arrival, it was better than described. The layout was perfect for 3 adults upstairs and 2 adults with 3 toddlers downstairs. Geographically it’s a short distance from many of the areas awesome attractions. We will likely return.

Tucked away gem
Tucked way back off the main road this cabin was more than I had anticipated. It was still decorated for the holidays which made NYE feel like we were right at home. Situated close enough to the casino, Bryson City and the many breweries to make day trips an ease. Enough space for us all to hang out together and it was doggie friendly! I would definitely recommend and I will be staying again!!!
