As always, time goes way too fast. This could be “the Johnson’s cabin”. I guess that’s why we came back to our honeymoon spot for our 1 year anniversary. The amazing view makes it clear our minds that our Heavenly Father, our Creator, loves us and truly wants us to be happy. Father be wiling, we will be back again to enjoy our place, Above the Clouds (LOL).

- 10/30-11/5, 2011 – Ben and Caitlin Church, Indianapolis, IN:
What a beautiful cabin! We found everything to be just what we aneeded – clean, remote, and homey. We saw a lot of turkeys here on the mountain and also saw a lot of elk at the visitors center for the GSMNP north of Cherokee – apparently they hang out there each night. Had a blast with the pool table and hot tub. Thanks for a memorable and relaxing honeymoon! PS, good places to eat in town (Bryson): Jimmy Mac’s, The Filling Station, and Nantahala Brewing (no food, but good beer!)

Thank you for letting us stay in your cabin. The drive up was quite an experience in itself!!

We had a great time in your wonderful cabin.

- 7/28-7/31, 2011 – Dave, Laura, John, Jake:
Great place with great views! The pool table is great! Make sure you get to the ziplines at Nantahala Canopy tours and do the jet boat ride that is combined with lunch and a hike. Very family friendly stuff – both of them about 7 miles away from here.

- 7/16-7/23, 2011 – The Parrish family, Nigel, Tiffany, and Logan of St. Marys, GA:

Thank you for sharing your awesome cabin and for helping us build some great memories.

We did all sort of things, train ride in Bryson City, Casino in the Cherokee area, Biltmore Estate well worth the money, horseback riding @ Arrowmont Stables, and Smokey Mtns and Blue Ridge Pkwy. We didn’t see much wildlife here except our last night we saw ELK! Well worth the trip. Perfect getaway. You will see us again. Thanks

We had a great stay, starting with the misty views over the mountains. Had plenty to do, kayaking, biking, tubing, and gem hunting to name a few. Loved the cabin, hot tub, and pool table real bonus. There are plenty of wildlife about, wished we had brought a hummingbird feeder as these are a couple about, squirrel opposite deck and lots of birds. Will miss the sunsets, stary skies, and the vast views the deck provide. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us.


- 7/31-8/7, 2010 – Titus and Thanda Liffel of Milwaukee, WI:
We very much appreciated this cabin! The view with the beautiful breezes in the evenings were just what we needed! To encourage the rest of your guests – do NOT miss the Biltmore House or Dollywood and the Dixie Stampede! Talk about the extremes of our world! But it made us so thankful for all that God has given us – we celebrated 28 years of marriage on 8/6 and praise God for giving us each other and this beautiful creation!


- 7/11-7/18, 2010 – Early and Nikki :
Nikki and I came here on our honeymoon. It was beautiful retreat. We left some Ghiradelli chocolates for the next guests. By the way, this area is beautiful.

Thank you very much for “Above the Trees”. The cabin is appropriately named and we enjoyed the magnificent view!

We enjoyed a murder mystery dinner and white watered. Thoroughly enjoyed the cabin! Thank you

- 7/1/10 – Janice, Tony, Zachary, and Stacy:
The view is exquisite! Sad to be leaving today. We have vacationed in the mountains for over twenty years. We have never stayed in the Bryson City area. We really enjoyed the area. Mostly, we loved the cabin and the exquisite view. We had a sensational moon shining through the windows one evening. Another evening, we watched lightning and the distant clouds and then the approaching storm. Thanks for being a pet friendly cabin.
