Summary: Beautiful home. Great place for all of us to spread out. The four teenagers enjoyed the games and movie theater. The four adults enjoyed the hot tub and cooking every night! All the dishes, pots and pans and grill. It was fun. We tooled around Bryson City, did whitewater rafting at the NOC and tubing on Deep Creek. Thanks for the memories.
