Perfect location
Came for the tail of the dragon, this was a perfect spot to stay with the boys to get runs in night or day. Literally 1 minute from the dragon shops and gas station. Will stay here anytime I can!

My family and I came up Thanksgiving day and stayed till the weekend. It was great, the view is beyond amazing I will say that. We did leave the night before check out due to them calling for icy conditions and we are from alabama and was not taking any chances haha. Overall trip was great I would definitely recommend anyone to stay here.

Cabin was nice and in a great location. It’s an older cabin but has a rustic charm. Internet was spotty but mostly fine. Everyone enjoyed the stay. We had low sports cars and were able to make it through the gravel road and driveway without issue , just go slow.

Great family trip to ride the tail to the dragon!
From the very beginning the host was incredibly responsive and inviting. The view from the porch was truly better than the pictures. The house was conveniently located just a few minutes from a couple of very nice restaurants while still offering a mountain getaway feel. Can’t wait for my next trip back to the head rest!

Amazing view! Location was great. If you are on a motorcycle the drive into the property could be a little challenging; the last 80-100 yards in is crushed shale. I had no problems at all but if you are a relatively new rider it could be a bit stressful. I would stay there again without a second thought.

Great location if you're primarily going to run Tail of the Dragon. Driveway is a little daunting, but most cabin driveways are. Low cars will struggle but be ok. This should be expected. House was clean, well prepared and felt like home for the 5 days we were there. Plenty of room on 3 levels. Enjoyed the stay. Host was easy to communicate with and replied to every message in a timely manner.

What an absolute great view! Perfect destination for our motorcycle trip.
Best thing about our stay was the view on the upper porch. We spent most of the time out there. Including dinners with the string lights on. House had split units and ceiling fans which was very nice for sleeping. Covered parking for our motorcycles and literally right on top of deals gap. Very easy getting the motorcycles to the place. The gravel drive was smooth enough where there wasn’t an issue. I have this saved for our next trip coming up. Thanks!

Great View and Perfect Motorcycle Location
The first thing you'll notice upon arrival is the amazing view from the deck. We spent every evening on the deck enjoying the view.
The were 4 of us down on our annual dragon trip (a tradition started as the Triumph Dragon Raid over a decade ago).. covered parking easily houses our 4 bikes and my jeep wrangler. We each had a private bedroom. Could have easily slept a few more between main floor and basement common areas. Kitchen was week equipped and the new Blackstone griddle on deck was amazing. We cooked some great dinners with what was provided. The best part is the location, you are in the sweet spot where when you go down the private road to the entrance of the neighborhood you have the dragon to the right, and hellbender to the left. The Tapoco Lodge is just a few minutes away, great food and beer.
The warning about a trailer are on point. My tiny Kendon folding trailer was not an issue, but anything larger and there's no room and the private road is only one lane.

Bucket List Trip
This place was in a perfect location for our motorcycle trip to the Tail of the Dragon. It was a fantastic experience with a wonderful, friendly and extremely accommodating host.
The view, the comfort of the home, even down to a kitchen stocked with the essential tools, pots, pans and cooking sheets made everything an effortless visit.
