Recent Nantahala National Forest guest reviews

Loved this place! Clean, great view and the fall colors were AMAZING! I drove a 2wd pilot and I was fine but, I grew up in this kind of area and know the drill. 4wd may be best. We came after Helene and this area was fortunate. The towns are open and people are great. The fam LOVES WNC and this place was perfect to get away!

Loved the Cabin and the view. Very clean and all amenities one could need for a multi day stay. Access is a little sketchy if you are on a large cruiser motorcycle.
