Oh my God! We had a fabulous time! We could not go out on the lake because it stormed the day we plan to do so but we still had fun! We love the hot tub! The cabin is beautiful and the Mountain View is even more beautiful! I cannot tell you how much fun we had! It was out of this world! We have been there before and really enjoyed our experience. Great staff! Great amenities! And just overall a best vacation We have ever taken! Plan to come down every year in August!

Some of our favorite things about this stay were: The fantastic view from the cabin, The Hot tub and Pool Table, Having meals on the porch, Everything you need in a cabin. The kitchen is very well equipped. We went to Deep Creek and the Road to Nowhere. Took a cycle trip to the Tail of the Dragon and Mingo Falls in Cherokee. Our favorite memory is tubing at Deep Creek and Coffee and meals at the cabin

The favorite thing about our stay was the view, tubing and hiking. We went on the train ride through the mountains and ate at Pasqualinos. We loved hanging out with the family at the cabin, playing games, relaxing in the Hot Tub and looking at the beautiful sunsets.

As usual the sunsets were stunning and the view from the deck was spectacular. I know a lot of people go to the area for activities but to be honest it is a lot of fun to just stay at the cabin, take advantage of the hot tub and play games or whatever floats your boat. Everybody in our group was relaxed and having a good time. We had a blast. Escaped Atlanta during high 90s heat and mornings were so cool in the mountains that we almost needed sweaters. Any time is a good time to go!Will keep coming back!

The cabin exceeded our expectations! It has Amazing amenities and a fantastic view! It was a very comfortable and relaxing stay. A perfect weekend getaway in the mountains of western NC. We liked the pool table, hot tub, and views from the wrap-around porch. The people at GSCR made it a very seamless experience and were quick to respond to any questions.

The cabin is beautiful and exceeded our expectations. I was larger than we thought it would be. We loved everything about it and the space on the porch. We loved the hammock, the view and the hot tub. It was spotless when we arrived. We went hiking and fishing and truly enjoyed our Spring Break. Everything was perfect!
