Cedar Lodge Condo
We had a wonderful stay! Great location that is close to many things to do in the area. Unit was very clean, spacious, & had everything one could need. Quiet and peaceful with a nice balcony looking over the river. Thank you for sharing your space!

Riverfront lodge - Class III
What a lovely stay! We really enjoyed making a fire and cooking by the river. Such an awesome location and only a mile from the Nantahala Outdoor Center. I’d highly recommend Donnie’s stay to anyone looking for a private get away in the mountains. We will definitely stay again.

"Farmhouse Chic: Poolside Luxury" Sleeps 16
I took my family to stay in the farmhouse the week of Christmas. The house was very clean and matched the description given. The heater in the pool was out but the hot tub worked. When I had an issue and reached out, it was resolved quickly. It is within walking distance of many things to do. We enjoyed the breakfast vouchers and drinks in the lobby. We also joined in the sing along and s’mores and loved it!

Cozy condo with amazing view!
Great place to stay. Location was excellent and peaceful. Host communicated exceptionally well. Condo was very clean.

Peaceful Creekside Getaway
This place was amazing and the backyard was beautiful. We had a blast. It's not too far from all of the restaurants and activities/attractions in pigeon forge. Takes about 30-40 mins to get to everything. The hot tub was the cherry on top. I 100% will be back !

D/town near Anakeesta
Clean, easy, good location. would definitely stay here again :)

5 min to Dollywood - Downtown 7ppl Condo
My family and I really enjoyed our stay. Initially we had a little trouble finding, but Romil was available and responsive to help. He showed us grace with an issue and we were appreciative. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

River Retreat in the Smokies!
The space was beautifully decorated and spotless. The outside area by the river is so peaceful. We really enjoyed our stay! Would definitely stay here again!

Mountain House Rental at the Lake
The home was very clean and comfortable and anything we needed was provided. It is quite spacious yet sitting in the living room at night with the gas fireplace turned on was so cozy. Sitting on the back porch was peaceful and serene - total bliss. Gloria is a wonderful host and I would recommend staying here and hope to again.

Creekside Cottage - Relax and Unwind
Reba was a fantastic host! Had lots of fun touches. The scenery and back drop of the location was amazing, we will be going back but will stay for longer to really enjoy everything the cottage had to offer!

Blue Heron Haven
Beautiful & peaceful location. The house was lovely, kitchen well stocked with kitchen items, gadgets. Big beautiful windows to see out to the lake; and both bedrooms w/ lake views. Beautiful house! Lovely porch & dock, where we spent all our time.

The Chart House, on Lake Santeetlah
It was the perfect place for a family gathering after Christmas at one of our favorite places. Only wished we could have stayed longer. We’d stay there again.

Riverfront Fishing Cabin
The place is exactly as described. Very close to WCU and worked out great during move in day. Relaxing place to stay.

English River Cottage
We all had a great time, house was exactly as we anticipated. Would highly recommend it to all, and would consider going again. Lock box was however hard to open.

River Front- 1 mile to Parkway- No Steep Roads
Great place, 2 bedrooms with king size beds and 2 full baths. Perfect for a family of 4. We went to Dollywood both days so didn’t get to enjoy the river but the view!!! You can just sit outside and watch the river flow or let the sound of it put you to sleep at night. Close to everything. We will be back for sure.

Nantahala Lake Family Home w/ Private Dock & Views
This vacation involved checking out the area for an upcoming wedding. For the house, we wanted lots of space in the house and easy parking, bathrooms for each family group, family space to hang out, easy walking, and of course access to the lake. All of these happened plus great porch space with the firepit and also the outdoor firepit. The stairs to the lake provided a work out and planning for the day. That is the only consideration for others to be aware of, is if they have a family member that has issues with stairs. The area is beautiful and exactly what we hoped for and this home with the easy contact for any issues or questions made it a great week!

Soothing Creekside Sounds
Great place to stay. Centrally located to lots of great restaurants, attractions and grocery stores. Loved sitting out back listening to the birds and the creek below. Very private and peaceful. Super clean with lots of extra nice touches. Check out Anakeesta, beautiful park and incredible Mountain views.

By Peaceful River/ Mountains Views/ Pigeon Forge/
We loved being right on the river with a view of the mountains. Also loved the gas fireplace since the mornings and evenings were cooler. Enjoyed not being in too busy of a place but it was so handy to whatever we wanted to do. It was easy to get to Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg or the park. Great place for 3 couples to stay. We thought it would be a great place for kids, too, but we didn’t bring any :)

River Dreams- Serene Retreat
The home was beautiful the outside was so beautiful and peaceful waking up and hearing the birds chirp in the morning was amazing all of the things they have on the Strip of Pigeon Forge to do was amazing we got to see things we've never got to see before my family of six was very happy excited and surprised

Riverside Condo on Peaceful Side of the Smokies
It was our second time to stay here. Quiet, not all the hustle and bustle. Easy to get to attractions when you want to.

Riverfront Condo close to all attractions.
We enjoyed this cute little apartment for our trip to Pigeon Forge. We had a family trip where we all met up in the middle somewhere and this was the choice for the destination. We were not there a whole lot to hang out because we were out and about doing activities together. Our favorite parts of the apartment were the balcony overlooking the river, the jacuzzi tub and of course the cozy cute fireplace in the living room! Was not too far from the main stretch in Pigeon Forge and was also far enough back to not hear all of the hustle and bustle from the main strip.
