No central heat. We ask about it on the first day and the owner said to start a fire which we explained we had 2 babies with us one which was a premie and got sick very easily. She told us to try it and see how the night went. That night the people up stairs got smoked out and had to sleep down stairs on the floor and couch. We went to polar express at 11 and as soon as we got back we went to talk to owner. She was very rude and short. Told us to call vrbo so we did then we had a call with her which she was very rude. If have children don’t go. The pictures also do not match. The view is not that great.

My husband his 2 son's and their wives, my daughter her husband and 2 of my grands and myself stayed at the cabin for the weekend. It was great looking out across the field and seeing deer in the morning from the front porch. Mrs. Linda is such a great host.

My grandkids didn’t want to leave. The cabin is rustic & cozy. Plenty of room outdoors for the kids to play and they especially enjoyed the nearby creek. Linda was a great host and Bryson City is charming. We went mainly for the Polar Express (which kids loved, totally worth it), but there is a lot to do in area. Grandkids “mined” for gems (in spite of the cold), did Alpine skiing and went snow sledding at indoor facility in Pigeon Forge. Only down side was we could have used a bigger water heater (with 11 people) - but didn’t detract from the trip. It was winter when we went, I’m betting that area is beautiful in the spring/summer. We had a wonderful vacation.

This property is conveniently located near Bryson City and the Great Smokey Mountain National Park. We enjoyed visiting both, and we also enjoyed enjoyed coming back to a comfortable cabin, building a fire and catching up with old friends.
The weather was cold and it took us a day to figure out how to get the downstairs warm enough with over heating the upstairs, but we did figure it out.
The hosts were very responsive and helpful with all of our questions.

We found this vrbo listing and messaged the property owner , asking questions about the cabin. We got there and saw we had enough room for all 14 of us. The proximity to the white water rafting place was good. We are local and enjoyed that as well. Overall, we were happy with our stay.

Very clean. Comfortable beds and enough room to spread out. Cabins are in a row along gravel road. Beautiful scenery to look at from the porch. Our group of 11 stayed in 2 of the cabins on the property. Would definitely recommend this place for a large group. Very affordable and our host Linda was fantastic

The property was very nice and had anything we needed. The view outside is very pretty and the mountains light up with fireflies at night. Very magical experience! It was also a responsible distance from the places we wanted to visit in the area.
