This range is home to an estimated 187,000 acres of old growth forest, constituting the largest such stand east of the Mississippi River. The cove hardwood forests in the range's lower elevations are among the most diverse ecosystems in North America, and the Southern Appalachian spruce-fir forest that coats the range's upper elevations is the largest of its kind. The Great Smokies are also home to the densest black bear population in the Eastern United States and the most diverse salamander population outside of the tropics.

Hinterlander's guests are welcome to provide their feedback about their stay. Guest Comments & Reviews " Exceeded expectations - Exceptionally appointed, extremely clean, and beautiful cabin. Normally, pictures of properties and their surroundings exaggerate … not so with this cabin! The photos do not do it justice, nor capture the view. You will be pleasantly surprised! We could even hear the distant waterfall on the far hillside during quiet evenings and mornings on the patio. - JF as posted on VRBO "Cabin luxury in the sky - A beautifully decorated and extremely well equipped contemporary A-Frame on top of a picturesque mountain. Three distinct living areas provide privacy. Perfect for a get-away-from-it-all recharging vacation, but close enough for a day trip to Biltmore Estate in Asheville or to shop in Blowing Rock. Local attractions include hiking to Linville Falls; visiting Winery, Caverns and Wilderness Area. Don’t miss a marshmallow roast in the fire pit on the terrace under a night sky full of stars. Ideal for a family get together Thoughtful, courteous and efficient hosts. Highly recommended. " - JM as posted on VRBO " What a wonderful place to stay! We have stayed at other mountain properties for vacations -- this was absolutely the best! The view is wonderful, the house is gorgeous and this lovely home is equipped with absolutely everything we needed -- except a martini shaker and glasses (we made do!). The peace and quiet was only interrupted by birds and crickets. The weather was so lovely -- cool after the really high heat of Florida where we live. A couple of afternoon showers filled up the waterfall, which we could even hear! The feeling of rocking in the chairs on the porch has stayed with me - so relaxing and peaceful. We felt like we had fallen into the very best vacation ever. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. (it's a good thing someone had booked it after we were scheduled to leave, or I would spend all my summer there!) Karen and Ryan - you "done good" with this one!" - R&K as posted on VRBO "Fantastic Stay! We really really enjoyed our stay at the Hinterlander. This cabin is second to none. It was very very clean and everything seemed almost brand new. The host were very helpful and accommodating. We highly recommend this cabin." - AE as posted on VRBO "Our Family Retreat - Our son goes to school in NC and we stay at Hinterlander 2 or 3 times a year to spend long weekends and vacations together as a family, including our two dogs. It may sound corny, but this place really has become our home away from home.” - Joy & Scott, FL “Beautiful Home Just off Blue Ridge Parkway - I've stayed at Hinterlander half a dozen times and love it. I never fail to discover new things to do in the area, towns to explore, or a new road to wind me through the countryside. It's a wonderful place to stay -- I highly recommend it.” - Linda, NJ "Perfect - That is the best home I rent thru VRBO" - KA as posted on VRBO "Peaceful & Clean - Hinterlander is set in the most peaceful location we've stayed in the area so far. The view was wonderful and the attention to detail within the home and cleanliness was top notch. Appreciated the EVC tremendously!" - The Berry Family, DC Hinterlander's rear deck offers a sunset into the mountains and a view of the valley below in winter, and a shady retreat on a summer's day.
