Fun, comfortable house with great views and excellent service & communication from the owners. This house is an awesome base for exploring the area around Bryson City or for just hanging out. Very roomy with more beds than our family of 5 could fill and an amazing wrap around porch with unbeatable views. We spent most days hiking or rafting and then spent the evenings relaxing on the porch and participating in epic pool tournaments. Rooms and beds were very comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped for those nights that we cooked instead of going out. The house is an easy 5 to 10 minute drive to Bryson City and a short drive from multiple hiking sites. It’s about 25 minutes to the Nantahala Outdoor center and the activities they have as well.

We booked Sky Bear Lodge in February for Mid October. Our group included people driving from TX, CO and MN. Sky Bear Lodge was our hub for the week and is a beautiful property with absolutely stunning views. We hauled motorcycles up to do some riding in the beautiful Smoky Mountains and the tail of the dragon. The driveway is a little tight with some pretty tight corners, but we were able to get three trailers up and riding back and forth was a little slick in spots because of the dew and leaves, but doable. We reached out to Matthew for a couple of questions and he was very responsive. Hight recommend this property!

Our son and his (now) wife wanted a spot overlooking the mountains. It needed to be intimate, a place we could have shifts of guests, places we could separate, share a meal, and if needed have a view from large windows in case of rain. Sky bear covered that completely. Though is was supposed to rain all day, the sun was out and beautiful. The deck made the perfect place for a trellis, wedding party and aisle way for the bride to make her entrance. Because of all the different entrances from the deck, we could make it a perfect day with many memories. The groomsmen and bridesmaids each could have their space, and the few guests theirs. We had porkchops on the grill and plenty of plates and utensils for a sit down dinner. We had no problem with parking, and the grocery was just 10 minutes away for all the trips for forgotten items. The prewedding festivities had a quaint town within minutes with many options. Perfect

The place was as the listing shows. Family was very happy with the place, the view and all the things. The gameroom was especially enjoyable. Had everything we were looking to keep us busy. Location close enough to the park and other sights within a short drive.

Beautiful cabin and great host!

Our visit with 6 adults and 3 children was absolutely fantastic. The game room is such a fun bonus as is the hot tub. The view is absolutely unbelievable-- we almost didn't want to leave the house for our day adventures! Matt is a wonderfully responsive host as well.
