We loved cooking at this house and the huge island provided a perfect place for all our snacks and to set up the buffet for meals. The house was so clean, even the outdoor/screened spaces were well-cared for and spiderweb free, which is no small accomplishment! It feels secluded, but is very easy to find and so close to downtown.

We visit the Smoky Mountain National Park often and this was our first time staying on the North Carolina side of the park. Our family really enjoyed the cabin as it was close to Bryson City for groceries and food but still felt secluded. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. We were a little uncertain of our kids sleeping on the other side of the porch/breezeway but it worked fine and they enjoyed it. We were also close to Cherokee where we did plenty of shopping too. It was close to many park hiking trails which we really enjoyed as well. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed at 131-Bear Trot in Bryson City, NC in mid-December. The main purpose of our visit was to bring family and friends together and to ride on the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad Christmas Train. From the moment we arrived at the vacation home, it was a pure joy. The home was beautifully decorated with stuffed animals that the kids loved and “bear” decorations everywhere. The kids had fun finding all the bears...a lot of them! The owners were very nice in that they had the kitchen stocked with many spices to make our stay easier. The rental company was very responsive during the rental process and available to answer any questions during our stay. Overall, from all of the vacation homes we have ever rented, this ranks at the top.

Nice furniture and beds.Clean and instructions on use of dishwasher and other products meant that all dishes had to be washed by dishwasher detergent and not enough kitchen linens. Lighting in kitchen was too low to see or easily use appliances at night.

House was perfect for our group of four - plenty of room, bedrooms. bathrooms and all very clean. Well stocked kitchen. Great location to Bryson City and Blue Ridge Pkwy. Management Company was very easy to work with and even called on Saturday to check in with us to make sure all was going well at the house.

The cabin is lovely. It seemed brand new. It was decorated beautifully and spotlessly clean. You can definitely see pride in ownership. The pictures don’t do it justice. It was well stocked with games. We played dominoes and backgammon in the evening. They even had corn hole. It was a great stay!

What luck that this cabin happened to be available for our vacation! It was our first trip to the Smoky Mountains from Wisconsin. This cabin is AWESOME! Everything was clean. Besides the fire pit and hot tub the cabin is stocked with games, books, and TVs for rainy days. There are extra blankets. Plenty of towels. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes and cookware. Close to The Great Smoky National Park and The Great Smoky Mountains Railroad. We enjoyed both. I would absolutely recommend this property and I would stay here again. It was an excellent experience.

This cabin was amazing. It was in a very quiet neighborhood. It was close enough to town where you could easily run into town and get necessities but fell far away at the same time. It was perfect!

We loved our stay! It was adorable and very clean!! The hot tub was amazing and location was great! Not far from Cherokee and there was a grocery store just a couple miles down the road!!
The only down side... there is not much for TV and no wifi and service is iffy! Fine for a night or two, but a long term stay would be difficult! And the water on the property was not hot, a little over warm at most. And check out time is a little earlier than most.
This is a great place to stay for adult weekend getaway or a family vacation!! Over all it was an amazing stay and we will be back!!

The house was very nice and provided a great getaway. The only issue was the hot tub was broken and we were not told of it prior to arriving. I was refunded the fee for it so the property management company worked it out but more of a disappointment than anything.
