We loved sitting out in the morning and having coffee on the deck! Beautiful views and enjoyed the hot tub at night. Beds were comfy, although the bunks were a bit noisy. It was smaller than we thought it was going to be, but overall we loved staying here!
This property worked well for our group of 12. The view is beautiful and makes it worth the steep drive up to the driveway (also steep). We wanted secluded and it is that but still reasonably convenient. It takes about 20 min to get down to Polar Express/Bryson City downtown. We appreciated having multiple sets of cookware that were not gross nonstick stuff. There were even platters to serve on. The linens were comfortable and the cleanliness overall was passable.The noise insulation from one floor to another is not good. Those on the main floor hear every move of those upstairs.We enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit so much!
We had an amazing stay at this cabin in Bryson City! The cabin was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The setting was peaceful and quiet, yet close enough to town, hiking, and outdoor activities to be convenient.The views were beautiful, the beds were comfortable, and the cabin had that perfect mountain feel. It was the ideal place to unwind after a day of exploring the Smokies. Communication with the host was easy and responsive, which made the experience even better.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a comfortable, scenic retreat in Bryson City!
It's quite a long drive up. We weren't worried about the terrain or steepness, just weren't expecting it to be quite so far off the road. There are only 3 bedrooms. The bunk beds are in an open loft. There is no WiFi, and the satellite TV is spotty. Make sure the oven works when you get there. We never did have a functioning oven. The queen bed upstairs isn't the most comfortable. The bathroom on the middle level has a pocket door right off the kitchen. The (very comfortable) King bed is on the bottom level. The view from the porch is amazing. The A/C is great. The pots and pans are nice, and there are plenty of plates/glasses/cutlery. It's in a convenient location--close to Bryson City, which has a lot of restaurants and activities. We likely won't be back because the 4th bedroom was a clincher for us--had to rearrange our group accordingly.
