A Few Letters from our Guests

We just wanted to say thank you for an awesome mountain cabin for our weekend getaway Sept. 21-23. Your Tyme to Remember cabin was absolutely perfect for our weekend trip. We were amazed at how perfect it was. You have provided everything that a couple needs for a relaxing weekend away from it all. The cabin was immaculately clean and furnished with comfortable furniture and everything we needed for a very comfortable and romantic stay. We were almost in tears when we had to pack up and leave on Sunday. The cabin was exactly as you all had described on the Internet and it exceeded our expectations!! The view was spectacular and we enjoyed star gazing as we sat in the hot tub on the deck. We cannot wait to plan our next trip to Bryson City! We will definitely be contacting y'all for another spectacular weekend away! Thank you again for helping make our getaway so spectacular!! This was definitely a Tyme to Remember for both of us!!

Just wanted to let you guys know, we had a great time and the cabin was perfect. You have definately gotten ur business for the future, as we have rented cabins around this area for years. The quality, value and customer service were outstanding.

CMV, Thank you for the follow up. We had an absolutely wonderful time at the Bryson View Chalet and it was everything and more than what you have advertised. I cannot commend the staff on how well we were treated. There was absolutely nothing not considered for the chalet making the visit so enjoyable. We only needed to go to the grocery store and found every possible utensil available to make us feel right at home. This was truely a treat, no hidden fees, everything up front just like you stated. A company that we will do business with again in the future. You are a AAA rated company in our book and I want to highly endorse this organization for any other folks wanting to rent a cabin in the NC Smoky Mountains. All costs are clearly stated up front and they were available to answer any and all questions we had no matter what the time. It is always nice to deal with honest people, which as we all know doesn't happen all the time, but you far exceeded our expectations. I want to completely endorse you to the American public and you have my permission to use this email as an unbiased testimonial from a paying American consumer. With my Best Regards,
Jack:Prospect, Ky.

I must tell you that everything was simply wonderful--better than I might have expected. In this case I was looking for a true getaway, to a quiet and tranquil spot where I could read and relax and escape from months of concentration on work. Mountain Hideaway fit the bill perfectly. It is a lovely cabin, with a spectacular and constantly-changing mountain view and a feeling of real seclusion. I didn't expect or need satellite TV or central air, but I did appreciate abundant towels and a well-equipped kitchen, the relaxing jacuzzi, and the sparkling clean cabin that awaited me. I tried to leave it as clean as I found it. Bryson City also turned out to be an utterly charming place that drew me down the mountain more often than I anticipated. Ingles is probably a better supermarket than any in Miami, and the produce place across from the IGA is a delight. I'm still enjoying the giant homegrown tomatoes I brought home with me. I've even emailed the publisher of the Smoky Mountain Times to tell him how much I enjoyed the paper as a window into such an interesting community. Count me as an enthusiastic customer. I'd like to come back today, but I hope to return one day for sure.

We stayed at Racoon retreat a couple of weeks ago for our 25th anniversary. We really wanted to go on a cruse but unfortunantly could not afford it. I just want to say the house was wonderful we could not have picked a better place. I think things really happen for a reason. Thank You For a Wonderful Weekend

Hi Everyone, We stayed in Good Life Cabin #2 back in October, and with the holidays, and rushing around, I'm finally able to reply to your follow up email. I want to thank you all for everything. Your directions to the cabin were great and easy to follow. The cabin was perfect! We found it to be clean and cozy, nicely decorated, and thanks to your shopping service, I was able to arrange a nice birthday surprise for my Fiance with balloons, cake and champagne. It was really great to be able to surprise him. We look forward to returning in the future. It was a pleasure to work with your company, everyone was so professional and knowledgeable. Your company was the first to respond to my inquiries about what was available during the time that we were going to be in your area, and I am so glad that we chose to work with you all.
Keep up the good work. Thanks a million!

We so enjoyed our special Xmas vacation. The Mountain Top Lodge was EVEN better then the web site made it. What a wonderful home.You were so in tune in helping us choose it for our Christmas vacation.My 82 yr old father in law could just relax by the fire and enjoy the view, What a treat for him after beating cancer and his heart surgery in October..I want to commend all of you on your up most professional demeanor.Everything went so smoothly from reserving the cabin to an easy check in and out. The owners of the cabins you represent made a great choice.in obtaining your company. We have rented beach houses and mountain cabins before. This was , by far, the best experience.Keep up the good work. I have already recommended your company to friends and family. Dave and I plan on coming back up for a weekend of our own. We have yet to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We plan on using you again and again AND AGAIN. Thanks

Dear Carolina Mountain Vacations Friends, I want to thank you for everything that you did to make this last weekend a truly enjoyable and memorable vacation for us and our grandchildren. We arrived at the last minute on Friday, but there was a friendly helpful person there to take care of everything. The Chalet itself was beautiful and very thoughtfully arranged. We have been to Bryson City several times, following the Thomas the Tank Engine and Polar Express schedule of train trips, but we were completely unprepared for how enchanted the city looked through the Chalet windows overlooking the town at night. The game room was a special favorite for our grandson, who gleefully beat me at several games of Ms Pac-Man. We were very much unwilling to leave on Sunday, and if we did not have other obligations, we would have stayed. All of us look forward to visiting you again. Again, thanks for everything.

soon to be returning & regular customers.

Just wanted to let you know my family and I very much enjoyed our stay in Mountainside Chalet. Everything was clean and perfect. We really liked the cabin, it had so many new gadgets, like the instant hot water in the kitchen, the nightlights on all light switches and especially the nightlights INSIDE the bathroom sinks (that was neat) We brought our motorcycles and cruised all over Nantahala and The Dragons Tail. Thanks for letting us bring our dogs. It is so nice not to have to worry about boarding them and they enjoyed the walking on the paved roads and the woods around the cabin. Thanks so much, we will be back to stay again.

Little Bear was great. The view was terrific, the cabin was clean, well appointed especially for a rental. From the grill to the kitchen, everything that I needed was there. The road in had it's challenges on the Harley but once I got the switch back's figured out life was good!! It was my first time to the mountains with a motorcycle so the learning curve was my issue. Will be back. Thanks

We will be back to see you!!!!! Thanks again

Dear friends, We do want to tell you that we did have a most wonderful time staying with Carolina Mountain Vacations. This was our fifth trip to the mountains of Georgia/North Carolina, and this was by far our best trip yet. The "Mountain Top" cabin was even better than described. The Sturgis' have a most beautiful cabin, and the most incredible view. Also, I wanted to let you know that I picked your cabins because your website in one of the most helpful I have ever used for vacation rentals. I love that you can sort by features (e.g. size, seclusion, mountain view, etc.) and not just size. I am sure we will be visiting again. Thank you so much,

Hi Folks; Just wanted to let you know, we enjoyed our stay at Mountain Hideaway immensely and look forward to a return visit. The cabin was well appointed, the views were awesome and the treatment from your saff was excellent. We will be back!

Hi! I just wanted to properly thank you, and the wonderful couple who helped us get down the mountain. Our stay was incredible! I was amazed at all the details, (ex. Christmas decorations), that were thoughtfully added before our stay. Due to the weather, we had a lot of cabin time, and enjoyed every moment. It was the first time my family had ever seen snow! The drive down the icy mountain were the most terrifying moments of our lives, however, we really appreciated you going out of your way to get us some help. Your cleaning couple (too terrified to even ask their names), went over and above to help us out. I intended to leave them a tip for their cleaning services alone, but wasn't organized enough to get it together. I'll be mailing a thank you note to you, to forward to them. I would appreciate you seeing that they receive it. We look forward to vacationing in Western NC in the future, and will certainly contact you when the time comes. Happy New Year!

Creek side cabin. I just wanted to thank you so much for being a great big part of our recent vacation! My clients loved the cabin (as did Tina and I)! You attention to us was the best customer service I have ever received! I will pass on our great experience to everyone I know that is planning a vacation to Western NC. Again, many thanks for the wonderful cabin.

To all, We had a great visit to the Smokey Mountain’s and the Mountain Top Lodge. The lodge was everything we hoped it would be. Even though the weather was hot and humid, we enjoyed the decks and the view very much. The lodge layout was very comfortable for our family. The owners did a great job of making the lodge a treat to spend a week at. We enjoyed the tubing and creek walking in the area as a way to escape the heat. However, the most fun was renting a pontoon boat from the Fontana Dam Marina and cruising the lake. The children enjoyed swimming (with life jackets) in the warm waters of the lake. Many thanks for your hospitality

We found the setting here to be peaceful and quiet (unlike other places we've stayed at). With a terrific view, and very convenient to most anything you want to do, this is the place to stay.
We'll be back.'

Grilling on the porch of our beautiful cabin was vastly superior to any restaurant experience. We had a wonderful time!!!
Alan & Jane: Conway, SC

We had a great time! Your cabins totally lived up to our expectations. WHAT A VIEW! We will be back!
Steve & Heather: Berea, OH

I just wanted to tell you we had the BEST time staying in your cabin! What a view! I've recommended your cabins to many of my friends - and I hope you will be getting many more reservations. Thanks again for being so friendly and providing such a wonderful cabin

The lightning bug "shows" every evening at dusk were just magical while toasting marshmallows on the front porch.
