Just wanted to tell you what an incredibly beautiful place you have in Brooksong.  Our family had such a wonderful, relaxing time that we've already started discussing our return!  Our 2yr old son had an incredible time playing in the stream, and the waterfall is spectacular.  Thank you so much for sharing your home with us, and we'll be back!

A huge thanks for sharing your beautiful cabin with us.  It is really one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed.  You truly have a piece of paradise.  We took long hikes every day but hurried back to enjoy your property, even in the thunder storm!  We had wonderful family time and we would all like to return one day.

We had a WONDERFUL time at Brooksong.  The cabin, grounds, brook and waterfall were amazing and exceeded our expectations.   It was so nice being able to let the kids and dog play in the brook and waterfall right beside the cabin.  Despite the cold water, the kids were wet to their knees every day.  We also enjoyed building a bonfire outside each night.  My son thanked God in his prayers when we returned for "such a wonderful Spring break"-- it doesn't get much better than that!   We didn't realize there was so much to see right in Round Mountain.  We only left once to see the surrounding area (horse back riding and trip to Whitewater Falls) on the last day because we enjoyed hiking and exploring right there!

What a beautiful place. The boys had such great adventures climbing hills and playing in the creeks and waterfalls. We have shared your site with a few of our friends as well. We are 'adopting the house' as OUR mountain home and will be requesting same time next year when you have the calendar available. The kids even said the vacation was better than Disney. I know for us it was a heck of a lot more relaxing... a very special home and we appreciate you sharing it with us.

I wanted to let you know that we had a GREAT time at Brooksong.  Really, I think it was one of my favorite vacations in the past couple of years.  Your place is great and very comfortable.  Hiked about 20 miles in 2 days, made some great food and really just enjoyed the surroundings.  My 10 year old niece had so much fun with the swing, waterfall, hammock and generally just running around the grounds.  We made full use of the kitchen and grill plus enjoyed at least part of every day at the waterfall.  It even got bigger after Saturday's rain.  We were very sad to leave!  The dogs are still tired after all of the hiking.  They not only loved just being free to roam outside, but really enjoyed how much time we spent together outside.  Brooksong is not only great for families, but also a nice get away for just two.  We would have been happy whether we were alone or with my brother and niece.  Thank you so much for opening you home to us and I hope to make a visit back in 2008!  You have a rare gem in your hands.
 
Absolutely Beautiful!

I recently visited this absolutely beautiful property. The gardens are amazing. So lush and green as well as beautifully manicured. The sound of the water from the stream is an ever soothing sound just outside the windows. Close to the waterfall is a seating area that is wonderful to picnic at or sit and enjoy a glass of wine. I was there with my year old son and he enjoyed all the nature. The cabin is very family friendly but would also be a very romantic secluded get-away for a couple.  The owner is very accommodating and helpful in recommending places to visit. I would (and have!) highly recommend this property to all my family and friends.

This luxurious cabin has a European feel and is set in the gorgeous Smoky Mountains. With its own exquisite waterfall to bathe in, lots of quiet and privacy and beautiful gardens and lawn rolling down to a forest stream, it is a magical get-away. My favorite thing was sitting by the waterfall for cocktails and then grilling dinner and eating on the huge back porch in the evening to watch night fall.  A beautiful drive through the mountains took us to Brevard for the summer music festival and some surprisingly good restaurants. Good gourmet food is also available at Poppies.(Like Whole Foods). A bit further on we explored Asheville (which some describe as the San Francisco of the south - burgeoning art community). And visiting the Biltmore estate was like exploring a European chateau. Add in some hiking and kayaking and you have a fabulous restful vacation.
