We rented a cabin (Cullisia) from them in August 2013. The cabin was clean and, for the most part,…read morewell stocked. It was pretty much as advertised on their website. They were easy to deal with and communicated in a concise and timely manner and genuinely seemed to be interested in making our stay an enjoyable one. From the comments in their guest book in the cabin, others feel the same way. We wished that the cabin had some space for storing our food (instead of out on the counter) and missed not having a couple of items in the kitchen (foil, a broiler pan/rack), but those are minor issues in the scheme of things. Bed linens, pillows, towels, soap, etc. were all provided and the cabin was clean and well maintained. We didn't use the TVs during our stay, but did make use of the Internet connection and Wi-Fi and I was pleasantly surprised at the speed of the connection. The cabin we were in had no cellphone service on our carrier (AT&T), so plan to be off the grid as far as your cellphone is concerned. This cabin is "off the beaten path", so make sure that you stop in Bryson City and pick up your groceries before you head that way (and have everything that you need) or you'll be looking at a 15-20 minute one-way trip back. Some people won't like that, but to us, it was part of the appeal of the cabin and the location. The rocking chairs and swing on the porch and the sound of the creek below make this cabin a spot well worth the time and effort if you're looking for something away from the city life. I can certainly recommend dealing with these folks for your cabin rentals.

Pool on the small side but its a small motel.The manager is very polite and helpful and is on call 24/7 as he lives at the property. Sadly this is Gracie's last year as she is being torn down by the owners to be replaced by a modern facility. If you love nostalgia, this is your last chance to book.

Nice clean motel within walking distance to downtown. The owners are great.read more

We stayed in early…read moreNovember but I am just getting a chance to write a review due to many unforeseen things upon returning home. This is our second visit to Lost Cove and we do not plan to look elsewhere and we plan to return yearly. It would be very hard to find a cleaner, well managed house in a rental. Tom and Kelly paid very close to ever detail in this rental and it offers so many amenities that most do not. It very clear that they want their guests to have the best experience they could have and we have always had just that. The entire atmosphere is just what you would want when you visit the mountains and the view is awesome. It is hand down the cleanest rentals I have ever had. Tom and Kelly are also just the best communicators you could ever rent from. I highly recommend you considering Lost Cover Lodge...you will not be disappointed at all!!! Anne Lineberry

We thoroughly enjoyed chatting with the other folks at our table. Always nice to share restaurant and touring tips. The menu is based on what is fresh. Our menu consisted of beef pot roast, pork roast, amazing cabbage casserole, famous tomato pie, green beans, tossed salad with yummy dressing, beets, carrots, garlic mashed potatoes, hot fluffy rolls, and cranberry orange poundcake. If you are a vegetarian, fear not. Plenty of delicious, fresh vegetables. It was like grandma reads Bon Appetite but also sticks to the favorites. BYO wine or cocktails.

There's also a walkway to the water if you want to take a dip. The sparkling pink and black tile in the bathroom surround a sunken tub. The beds were very comfortable and were sporting clean and crisp linens. My only complaint would be the lack of electrical outlets especially in the bathroom. There was only one plug in and that was on the light bar that I couldn't reach. Hence, I dried my hair near the front door without a mirror. I looked like Little Orphan Annie when I finished...lol Overall, it was a very pleasant stay. I hope to return some day in the not too distant future as well as having better luck at the casino...ugh!

The cottage we stayed in had a fireplace, two-person jacuzzi tub, covered parking, king-sized bed, full kitchen, full bath, and screened porch with two rocking chairs. We brought food for breakfast and lunch, but dined in nearby DIllsboro. (Sylva and Franklin, NC are nearby as well.) The owners are friendly folks and the cottages are spacious and relaxing. Mountain Brook is also centrally located in Western NC, near Asheville, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Appalachian Trail, Bartram Trail, Pisgah National Forest, Nantahala National Forest, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Note: Don't let the drive past the beat-up motel up the street deter you. For those who can't do without technology, this might not be the place for you. Internet service and cell-phone coverage is limited and there is no TV.
