We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It was exactly everything we all needed. The view was breathtaking and the hot tub was an amazing add on. The kitchen truly is fully stocked of everything you need minus food. The location is very child friendly ( crib, toddler dishes, high chairs, children's books/ movies, games, etc). The fence in the backyard is perfect for children and pups. Our dogs are so happy to have their own space and the fire pit was a great touch! The location was perfect as it was just over 2 miles to River's End Restaurant ( amazing food!), NOC Outfitters ( great place to shop, get a demo boat or head to the adventure center for a kayak shuttle to the beginning of the lower nantahala run- our favorite). This is also only 3 miles from Endless River Adventures which also has a great Outfitters store, offering rafting, shuttles, etc. We were lucky enough to have the BEST all day lesson at ERA and highly recommend.
