We just finished a 7 night stay at Quiet Haven. So beautiful, so easy and so much to do. One thing, we have a 4x4 Tahoe which made the drive up the driveway fun, but with just a 2wd vehicle you may find the driveway challenging in rain or especially snow.
That being said, the cabin is at the top of a mountain and has awesome, unobstructed views. It sits just off Wayah Road - one of those mountain roads that provides miles and miles of nature, which is the sole reason we go to the mountains. Just sheer beauty.
On our stay, we rented a pontoon boat at Lakes End Marina ( an absolute Top Notch establishment), white water rafted at Nantahala Adventures Fast River Company (Highly recommended), did gem mining at Masons Mine (lots of fun for the kids and good rainy day choice), visited Bryson City (Deep Creek hiking is great!), visited Franklin (awesome) and simply relaxed in the cabin one day.
We hated leaving! We come from Florida to the mountains of NC every year and this is by far the best cabin and location we have rented! We highly recommend this cabin and this area!!!
