Martha Gilroy, Wilmington, NC, November 2011:

“Found you on the website un-seen, came up here for some much needed R&R and was not disappointed. The cabin was perfect! The cabin hot tub a wonderful added bonus after all those hiking trips. Hated to leave today, but will definitely be back. AWESOME EXPERIENCE. Thanks to all who are in the shadows making this happen! You guys ROCK!” (Bailey’s Best)

Brett & Pam Burbage, Bath, NC, November 2011:

“Bailey’s Best is a wonderful place to visit!! Great atmosphere, very relaxing, beautiful view, and much needed rest. Deep Creek falls were beautiful – enjoyed the trails by the creek – loved it!! Made trips to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge two days.  We drove through Cades’s Cove and enjoyed the peaceful drive and beautiful view. We visited Cherokee two days and bought several Christmas gifts for the family. Enjoyed shopping in Bryson City and Sylva. Most of all, we really enjoyed coming home every day to the cabin to relax after an eventful day.” (Bailey’s Best)

Dick & Shirley Harvey, Cudaky, WI, October 2011:

“October is a wonderful time to visit; the fall colors are breathtaking. We spent our time visiting with family and friends. Our Australian friends had fun doing day hikes. Best of all was time spent on the cabin deck enjoying the view, grilling out and sharing meals with family.” (Bailey’s Best)

“Bailey’s Best is actually one of the best! We enjoyed our relaxing and rejuvenating stay. The cabin was spotless and well accessorized. We enjoyed the cabin hot tub as we spent our day at the Fontana Dam and hiked the Appalachian Trail. We are heading to the other side of the park today and hope our second half of the trip is as relaxing and lovely as our first half was. Thanks again.” (Bailey’s Best)

Eileen & Andrew Stafford, Cornforth, England, August 2011:

“Enjoyed our week in the cabin and surrounding area. The cabin met all our expectations of what an American log cabin should be! Sat on the deck in the rockers in the evening watching the moon rise with a glass of wine. Pleased to be so close to the park and all the interconnecting trails. You can make your walk as long or as short as you want. Found everything very comfortable and easy in the cabin. Lots of photos to show back at home! Thanks for the wine! Best wishes.” (Bailey’s Best)

The Knoxes, Owens Cross Road, Alabama, July 2011:

The wine was yummy too :) And from Noah: “We really liked the hot tub! I really liked my tree top room!” (Bailey’s Best)

Bill & Carla Action, Gainesville, FL, June 2011:

“Beautiful cabin, great views, loved the hot tub – wish we could have used it more! A terrible storm hit here, and we had no electricity for the last half of our stay, so it felt like camping, but with a soft bed! We hiked in and rode the Dragon’s tail – what fun, and rode up the Blue Ridge Parkway and thru the park. We enjoyed our stay and the cooler weather, hope to return soon. GO GATORS!” (Bailey’s Best)

Melody & Brad Ellis, Efland, NC, June 2011:

“What a short stay, but we loved the cabin, view, and of course the hot tub. You were so very kind to us. There were so many things we would have loved to do just not enough time. We did get to relax due to the storms yesterday. Next time we plan to bring our girls with us, so they can go tubing, and Zip lining. Also, the bed was very comfortable and the pillows, we slept great both nights. Thanks again for everything and we will be back.” (Bailey’s Best)

Tina, Britt & Jordan Jones, Livingston, Alabama, June 2011:

“We are back for our second time, and once again we hate to leave. Our daughter turned eight while we were here, and we could not have celebrated her birthday any better anywhere else. We loved the hikes, the tubing, the hot tub, and the community. Thank you for making us feel so at home in the mountains. We will be back!” (Bailey’s Best)

Jordan Jones, Livingston, Alabama, June 2011:

Kelly, Scott, & Vivien Gallager, Summerville, SC, May 2011:

“Here we are once again. We had a great time and even hiked a little. I am usually opposed to any kind of physical activity : )  It was nice to have a little more time up here. Normally we aren’t up here for so long. We had a very low key, but wonderful anniversary. Having a 21-month-old toddler running around limited our options. Vivien enjoyed going to Cherokee and seeing the bears. She even got a picture with one! We will be sure to try and get back up here again next year. It is one of our favorite places to be. Hope the year is a great one for you. See you soon.” (Bailey’s Best)

Margaret Ingraham, Madison, WI and Chris & Kara Ingraham, Murfreesboro, TN and Alec and Cameron Ingraham, Murfreesboro, TN, April 2011:

“Tee, you were so nice to come out and greet us on the street. It was delightful meeting you. Again, we have loved our stay here and want to return. We had two days of hiking Kephart Trail and Deep Creek Trail, both were gorgeous and the little boys made it and happily! This is a very special place and we so appreciate your beautifully designed cabins and the way you and your staff maintain them. What glorious property this is. Thank you from all of us. We will see you again. Best wishes to you. p.s. I love the frogs and the rooster. Frogs are becoming scarce in Wisconsin and their sound is one of my favorites. What a place this is – perfection!” (Bailey’s Best)

Melvis, Mabel, Kayla & Joshua Dennis, Miami, FL, December 2010:

“We had a wonderful vacation. This was a fun adventure for our family. We are from Miami, Florida and were able to play in the snow for the first time. The cabin was fantastic. It was clean and had all we needed during our stay. Our favorite was the view of the “Smokies”. Just awesome! Our hike in the National Park, in the snow, was exciting. Mom’s favorite was being able to take naps in both comfy rooms. Thanks for the wine; it was such a nice touch! Our family was able to relax and enjoy each other’s company. We all enjoyed warming up by the fireplace with hot cocoa, too. Merry Christmas and many blessings to all of you in “2011”.” (Bailey’s Best)

“Well, I can’t really add much to what my daughter says here. We loved the visit. Dad” (Bailey’s Best)

Allen & Beverlee & Bella Brown, Cleveland, TN, November 2010:

“We loved our stay. The cabin, view, and hot tub were wonderful. We even had a dusting of snow our first morning! Thank you for the wine and dog biscuits. Bella tried to hide the treats so they may still be hidden somewhere. Thank you for your help and kindness. Everything was lovely. We have seen a lot of beautiful views from around the world, but this view was one of the most unique.” (Bailey’s Best)
