There are watercrafts that can be rented. Overall this is a gorgeous place to stay, quiet away from the busy tourist areas. Definitely a 5 star place if you want a quiet restful vacation with the family.

My family and I had a wonderful trip here last week. There were 10 adults and 8 children (7 of…read morewhich were 4 and under). We stayed in Villa 2 and everyone had plenty of room. We loved the huge deck and the easy access to the stairs down to the playground and dock (do be aware that there is no fence on either side of the stairs so you need to be extra cautious with little ones.) The pool was a huge hit as were the kayaks and paddle board. We rented a pontoon for three days and found several coves to swim on the lake where we were the only group there. A couple helpful hints if you plan to stay here...1. Bring lots of drinking water as the well water tasted very high in minerals. 2. Bring extra camp chairs if you are coming with a group and want to all be able to enjoy the deck at the same time (we ended up eating dinner outside every night). 3. Rent the golf cart if you have anyone in your party with mobility limitation. 4. Make sure you get up at least one morning for sunrise. You can see it while sitting on the deck and is truly magnificent. I can't recommend this place

The only downfall is they should invest in mattress covers on the mattresses. Cause when we get ready to leave the mattresses are full of undesirable spots..

We've been staying with Outrageous Cabind for over 20 years (before it was Outrageous.) This was…read morewhere we spent our honeymoon (well Gburg actually - in an old run down cabin that wasn't theirs). I don't even know if this place was around then. That was 41 years ago but we spent time up here for our 40th anniversary this year - using them exclusively since we found them about 20 years ago. I think the ownership went thru change since we've been coming here but we exclusively and use them at least 3-4 times a year. Their special for last minute trips is incredible. After 20 years, 3-4 times a year (so we've stayed in most of them), each one has always been clean as a whistle. We have figured that we have stayed with them over 60 trips. At least. We've never stayed with anyone else the past 20 years! Our favorite place is at the top of the mountain at the water tower. However three of the four we always stayed at and liked the best, all but one was burned down in the Gatlinburg Fire of 2016. It burned down to their concrete footprint. They finally got one of them rebuilt and just opened back up so we are leaving Friday to go there. It's at the very top of the mountain and you can see for miles and miles. Yet it is only 5 min from the Parkway, behind Dollywood. You would think a cabin on the to of the mountain with its incredible view would be miles from the Parkway but it's only a short 5-8 minutes. I can never praise their staff enough. They are awesome people to work with. Some of our favorite restaurants we never miss are the Applewood for bfast, Guy Fieri's restaurant and arcade ( this is awesome and relatively new and great to go because there is a Crumbl and Ice Cream shop next door that are for that sweet tooth we always seem to get worse up there), Chop House, Cherokee Grill (Gburg), Ogles Farmers Kitchen ( I think this is the name. It right close to going in for Applewood. We've just recently found this and have been multiple times), The Pottery Barn Cafe is usually our first place we hit coming into town. There is also Paula Deens, Chop House, and Johnny Carino's. This is just for starters. Stay here and you won't regret it!!!

Have made so many precious memories of our times together. Pictures of the great grandkids growing from year to year. Taking turns making meals & the fun & of exchanging gifts. The dirty Santa gift swap. Wouldn't trade it for anything. Jeanette is a fantastic hostess. Couldnt be more helpful. Have come to regard her as a friend. Cabins are the best. Will continue as long as we are physically able. Leaving today for a rare 3 night stay on a summer vacation at cabin #3. Can't wait. Highly recommend to all.

Group of 7 from Texas rented these cabins for a week to enjoy the local roads. WOW is all I can…read moresay. We fell in love instantly and enjoyed every moment at this cabin. We wish we could buy one for ourselves lol. The views aren't substantial, but the location was prime for reaching all of our destinations easily. This layout and floor plan easily accommodated all of us comfortably. If you are worried about space, don't even sweat it. I bet it could fit double with zero issues. All the amenities worked and Jeanette is so timely in responses and getting our needs met. There is something for everyone, seriously. The only bad thing you could possibly say is that the roads to get into the cabins is a bit confusing and a bit technical to drive with a full size truck and trailer. However, once you're in, you just hate to leave. I found at the end of every long day of riding, I was so happy to get to come home to Wildflower cabin #1 as my home. We checked in with friends who rented another cabin #7 and they raved about it as well. Look no further for your family lodging needs, this is the place you are looking for! =)

It overlooks Paint Creek and is located about halfway between the quaint mountain town of Hot Springs, NC and historic Greeneville, TN. VML is large enough to sleep 15 people in beds, and provides an excellent jumping off point for all kinds of outdoor adventures. Backpacking the Appalachian Trail, whitewater rafting the French Broad, zip lining through the Smokys, fly fishing the Laurel River, mountain biking the Paint Creek Trails, kayaking on the Nolichucky, and horseback riding through Cherokee National Forest, just to name a few. VML is available as a vacation rental for large groups, family reunions, or couples just looking to get away from it all.

It was a perfect place for our family to vacation and we really enjoyed exploring all of the sights along the Blue Ridge Parkway. We even got Elk Slobbered by a very loving, yet large mammal. We fell in love with the area and specifically with this exceptionally cute and private cabin. So much so that we found out it was for sale and bought it two weeks ago. It has been a great experience adding our personal touch to make it the cabin of our dreams. My wife and daughter and I hope you will love it as much as we have. It is truly a remarkable location and convenient to so many of the wonderful things that this section of the country offers for relaxation and recreation.

The location is remote enough to get away from the stree and noise of the City but close enough for convenient day trips to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The cabin has AMAZING Views and plenty of space for family members to spread out. if you are bring a group. The photos show that many renovations and upgrades have been made at this property to ensure a delightful and relaxing stay. We will be back, I recemmend this place without question.
