This property is gorgeous and spacious for large families and groups. The views are incredible…..rain or shine!! Everything is provided except for food and drink. I mean everything!! Our family thoroughly enjoyed the game room, televisions in each of the bedrooms, and a huge dining table for us to gather around and eat together. All of us thought the beds were super comfortable too! There was plenty of seating on that gigantic wraparound porch where we enjoyed our coffee or sipped on our cocktails. The hot tub was large and very clean too. Driving up the mountain and being greeted by several deer was an adventure for Louisianians like us. And the entire area of Mac Mountain Retreat Lane was peaceful and beautiful. After reading through the guest book on the fireplace mantle, I saw that many others were also delighted by their stay at “Archer’s Lair”. How could they not be?!

Amazing views! Everyone had an amazing time with all of the amenities. Road is super steep to get to the cabin but it is worth it for the solitude once you arrive. Plenty of room for our whole family group of 13. Would definitely book again.

Beautiful family trip

We had a wonderful stay with our adult children and grandchildren. The house was very clean, well stocked, and family friendly. The views from the deck were outstanding. Plenty of space for a large group and a great base to visit the area. Tom answers messages quickly through the app.

Beautiful Mountain House

This large mountain cabin is hidden in the Cowee Valley. It has plenty of room and the views are incredible. The hot tub overlooking the valley is the highlight as well as the game room downstairs. We highly recommend staying here.

What a wonderful cabin and location! My family and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving in a beautiful location. Everything is just as described - the game room is probably better than described. my family likes to cook and the kitchen facilities were great with almost every utensil/appliance you will need (three mash potato mashers? four pizza cutters?). Great view, comfortable rooms, good communication with host. Would recommend and come again. We were 12 - 9 adults and three older kids and everyone had a blast. Thanks, Ted!
