The perfect week
Our family had a wonderful time at this amazing property. The entire property was decorated beautifully and had everything we could possibly need. Our sons loved every single thing about this place, so much so that my youngest is begging to come back for his birthday trip. And, it was perfect and comfy for our little fur baby. We've already booked our next trip and are counting the days. Thanks for everything.

Outstanding in every way!
Wow! We almost never leave reviews and if we do, they are usually not positive. But I am just so impressed with this property and Debbie/Dean that I had to post this review. You will not be disappointed. They have thought of everything down to details that other VRBO owners never even think of such as bars of soap, backup security codes, and other details that are noticed, appreciated, and impressive. You guys could give seminars on how to do a vacation property. Thanks so much for your care and heart in providing us your home for vacation rental to us. If we ever come back to Smokey Mountains, you will be my first call!

AMAZING customer service
The customer service at this location is PHENOMENAL! From the moment I booked, I felt truly welcomed. They were able to accommodate a special request that I had and they got back to me within 24 hours even over Christmas holidays. We chose this house because my mom was worried about staying in the winter up a mountain...this was low enough on the mountain that wasn't a worry and still had beautiful views. When I arrived there was a welcome note and basket. My mother just kept saying she loved the thoughtful touches throughout the home. We started saying that my mom was becoming besties with Deb. Everything that we needed was right there. There are fishing poles for the pond, a hot tub with tv, an ax throwing game, a stocked game room with an arcade machine, pool table and skee ball. The kids kept saying, "Will we come back here?" When we checked out, my daughter was upset because she left a stuffy there. Before I could mention it to the host, she texted me to ask if it was ours, and SENT IT BACK to our house (free of charge) the very next day. I just cannot believe the level of hosting that occurred here. It just went over and beyond what you would ever imagine at a VRBO. Thank you Deb for inviting us so warmly into your home.

Bach trip
Went for a bachelor weekend. And the property was amazing plenty of activities to keep busy during bad weather. Plus everything you could think of was included. Deb was an amazing host. Couple that with amazing wifi and water pressure which are usually the things you sacrifice with a mountain house. Pretty close to things without being right on top of them making it a quiet and peaceful stay.

Excellent Accommodations
This exceeded our expectations for our stay. Not only was it clean, comfortable, and enough room for 12 to earn 5 stars, the property owner went above and beyond. The Christmas decor was incredible, the kitchen had more than you would expect for a rental, and the house was stocked with everything. I wouldn’t hesitant to stay here again. In fact, I’d go out of my way to stay here again.

Ive stayed at several rental properties in the area. This place is the best ive stayed at. Everything was provided. The host was great and communicated well. There were 5 in my party and we had an individual bed for each person...with room for more. There was so much to do on the property we opted to stay in, rather than go out. We would definitely stay again.

Perfect getaway for golf and casino!
Spent a long weekend at Twin Ponds Retreat and it was perfect! Very quiet and exceptionally clean. We spent time fishing the pond where we caught 15-20 bass, played two great golf courses (Sequoia National was beautiful), and going to Harrah’s. The location is perfect and not too far from all of the surrounding activities. The host was also very welcoming and answered any and all questions I had in an extremely timely manner. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a convenient home base to all that Cherokee and the surrounding areas have to offer!

Annual Tuckaseegee Rafting Trip
If you’re looking for a place to stay near Whittier, NC and like myself, you have only one important requirement for where you lay your head at night - that’s right, I’m talking about Egyptian cotton luxury bath robes - then look no further. Many people refer to the Twin Ponds Retreat as the “Ritz-Carlton of the Smoky Mountains.” And considering the closest Ritz is 150 miles away in Atlanta, you’d be looking at one heck of a commute to explore all of the exciting adventures that the mountains have to offer. Oh and good luck trying to fit you, your 10 closest friends, and your weird uncle Andy, all into one reservation at the Ritz. Twin Ponds was incredibly clean, offered all of the kitchen amenities needed to satisfy Gordon Ramsay, and had plenty of games and activities to escape to for when Gordon blows his lid. Also, the amount of extra pillows, bed sheets, and towels provided could have probably stocked the Superdome after Hurricane Katrina blew through the South in 2005. And did I mention the bath robes!? Honestly, the best stay we’ve had in the area, after years of coming to Whittier to raft the Tuckaseegee - and we were only 5 minutes from the river!

Family Time!!
Took the kids and grand kids to have some quality family time. Looking at the pictures off site,I knew it was a nice place. But the pictures didn't do it justice. The home was beautiful, welcoming and relaxing. The home was stocked with everything you could imagine you'd need and more. The game room was well used by us all. The grands also had a blast fishing in the lake and using the Hot tub. I loved the big front porch over looking the lake and listening to the bullfrogs and Whippoorwill's talk & sing to us. It was so calming and relaxing. I can't wait to return. The owners were so kind and welcoming from time of booking to leaving property. They truly made me feel welcomed and that they wanted us to enjoy ourselves and have a great time. I highly recommend this property for relaxation and quality family time. We will be returning.

A true vacation!
If you’re looking for a place to get away and unwind, this is the place! The house was clean, and the owners provided so many personal touches — got cocoa/coffee bar (with local roast coffee), s’mores basket, soaps/shampoos in the bathrooms, and more. Before arriving, the owner reached out several times with helpful info about the property and surrounding area. They have an awesome game room that kept the kids entertained, a beautiful pond for fishing, hot tub, a fabulous front porch overlooking the pond (which was a great place to sit for morning coffee or evening chatter). We made so many great memories, and we will definitely stay again in the future!
