Cabin in Whittier
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 20 reviewsGrand Seclusion: A Great Smokey Mountain Getaway
This house was very comfortable, clean and conveniently located to the towns and activities we were planning to enjoy. It is nicely furnished with pretty views and a beautiful deck. Kelley was an awesome communicator and even reached out to let us know about local activities we might enjoy. We recommend this property for a wonderful time!
Cabin in Bryson City
4.9 out of 5 average rating, 273 reviewsMountain Memories Cabin/Great Smoky Mountains
We had a wonderful stay in Christina's home. It was a perfect base for our Polar Express experience in nearby Bryson City. The cabin was clean, cosy and comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed all the amenities it had to offer, particularly the hot tub and fire pit. The peaceful surroundings and views were spectacular. I would highly recommend this property to anybody visiting the area.
Cabin in Dahlonega
5 out of 5 average rating, 36 reviewsHot tub - Private Pool - King Beds - Pet Friendly
Very cute and clean place in the mountains. It was easy to find, and convenient to downtown Dahlonega. We really enjoyed our stay here!
Home in Dillard
4.82 out of 5 average rating, 22 reviewsBig House with Big Mtn Views, Golf & Pool Access
Michael and Tara’s house was perfect for a group of 12 adults and a few small children. The bedrooms were big and comfortable, the kitchen was very well stocked with cooking utensils, and we had plenty of room to spread out. They also stocked the house with dish soap, garbage bags, shampoo/conditioner in each bathroom etc. which was a nice surprise. Michael and Tara were very quick to respond to messages and super accommodating when we needed an earlier check in time and more parking space. The view from the house is beautiful and we enjoyed the pool and the waterfall about a mile away.
Home in Sapphire
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 145 reviewsWonderful mountain cottage with amazing view!
This is our second stay at Matt’s place, and we hope to go back again in the future! The view is incredibly beautiful, and the home is spotless, comfortable, and well-supplied with everything you could need. Special surprise this trip was a lighted Christmas tree in the living room upon our arrival!
Cottage in Sapphire
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 183 reviewsSki Sapphire and enjoy Hot Tub at Traveling Bear!
It was me, my 17 year old grandson and my sons girlfriend so this place worked out great because everyone got their own bedroom, TV and bathroom. The location is good, only a few minutes from town, trails, sights and endless outdoor activities. We were a little bummed that we couldn't use the indoor fireplace but we were only there a couple nights so it wasn't a big deal. I would recommend this place for long and short term stays and would definitely stay here again.
Townhouse in Helen
4.88 out of 5 average rating, 17 reviewsAlpine Adventure Getaway ~ Location ~ Game Room
As advertised.
Cabin in Murphy
4.8 out of 5 average rating, 40 reviewsThe Great Escape
This is the perfect spot if you want peace and seclusion. It is about a 20 minute drive to sights and amenities (groceries). Very clean, lots of games if you get bored, and the kitchen is well-stocked. We were just a couple vacationing but it would have been a great house had we any children or friends in tow. Gorgeous view
