We had a birthday for my sister and brought her family and some of her friends up to Bryson city for their first trip to ride the train. We absolutely fell in love with the place and how convenient it is to everything in Bryson city literally being just a few blocks away walking we will literally be rebooking this again for later in the year for fall trip. 6-Star review!

Overall I would the condo 3 out of 5. Usually I start with the good points about where I stay but I'm going to lead off with the bad as they left a negative impression with me. The rest of my family that stayed were not as put off as I was. The bad: There was no Internet. At all. This was a major reason for starying town instead of out in the countryside. Everyone wants to be connected including myself. I pay for my cell phone data as I use it while the rest of my party have unlimited data plans. So when the condo listed Wi-Fi as the first essential amenity I was rather upset that there was none. After several calls to the host and rebooting the modem I was informed a service ticket would be created. After returning home and placing another call to the host I was told that since they don't charge extra for the Wi-Fi they would not offer any form of refund. So beware if Wi-Fi is essential to you it may not be available here. Bathroom 1: door was broken and the door would not stay closed. The toilet and sink were not secured and would wobble. The other bathroom had little to no water pressure in the sinks. The good: In town/close to everything. Unit was clean but was slightly more worn looking than the photos lead yourto believe. The beds and linens were clean and there were plenty to go around all the bedrooms. Could have had more toilet paper in the bathrooms as we ran out and just bought more at the grocery store Everything worked as expected except as noted above.

Here’s the truth…the house has been “rode hard” and is in need of some repair, but it’s a fantastic, large layout with an ideal location and lovely outdoor spaces. Main area is perfect for a larger group. Bedrooms are lackluster, but bathrooms are nicely done. Walking to town anytime you want is wonderful. Overlooking Main Street or the river your morning coffee is fabulous. And price makes sense for the accommodations. We will be back.

Great location to explore Bryson City and Smoky adventures

Everyone had a great time! The house was perfect and close to everything down town! We truly enjoyed our stay!

The Kephart was very nice and had plenty of room for our large family. Location was very convenient, we were able to walk to stores and restaurants.

This is our second time staying in this house. It is very beautiful close to everything in town. Can’t wait to come back.

This property was perfect for our group to all meet and get-away for a few days to enjoy some fun times golfing. The river views were amazing and the huge living room area were great for everyone to enjoy their space. Each person was able to have their own private room to enjoy each night as well, which is what really sold us on this location. The customer service was excellent for the entire booking and provided great instructions on the property during the stay. The only thing that we were a bit disappointed with (which kept us from making it 5 stars) was the outside patio area looked much better in the pictures than in person. It needs a little bit of maintenance to improve the appearance and I believe it would impress much better. The patio landscape was overgrown, area needs some cleaning up & repairs, and their were several loose bricks at the end of the stairs that need to be better placed or secured. Also, several restaurants & businesses in the town shutdown around 7pm so it was very limited as to what was available for a decent meal or things to do nearby in the evenings. However, these are in our opinion minor issues and did not negatively impact our stay. This is still a great rental that provides plenty of room for a large group and you will not be disappointed with the gorgeous and relaxing river views. We are already planning for our trip next year at this location!!!
