This was one of the best camp set ups we’ve been to by far. Parking is right there, great fire pit and grill set up. We had some light rain in the morning, so the covered porch was perfect while we waited it out and had our breakfast. Will definitely be coming back .

Dana was an excellent host and my wife and I absolutely loved our stay here. True 5 star experience. We loved the natural beauty and calmness of the area. There were also a couple personalized notes left wishing us good luck with our future together (we went here for our honeymoon). Just incredible, highly recommend!

By far the best place ever stayed. Perfect place for relaxation. The breakfast Chef was amazing (Megan) and the dinner by the waterfall was absolutely perfect with Chef Amber Highly recommend them both. The cabin is absolutely perfect and down to every feature and the shower incredible. The amount of care this place offered was 10 star for sure. Will be staying again. Dana and David are so nice and make this place the best place for relaxation.

Great spot close to the college and not far from Sylva. The house is very secluded and well built on the inside. It was a great stop on our trip through Western NC.
