Cabin advertised is to sleep 14. We had exactly 14 people and we were packed in there like sardines. I will check the square footage next time. The living area could only accommodate about 4 people tops. Forget hanging out together. Carpet is original and shows it. The dirty/dusty carpet in the downstairs bedrooms made it miserable to sleep. I have allergies and asthma and couldn’t sleep past 2-4am. Walls/ceiling aren’t insulated so you can hear every time someone roles over in the bed anywhere in the cabin. Bathroom window faces the road and has just a curtain up. I had to place a bath towel over the window to add some privacy. No window coverings on any of the windows for that matter except curtains. No privacy shades/blinds in bedrooms either. Anyone outside at night has full view of what you’re doing. Maybe that was the goal, not sure. Amenities are at very bare minimum, not even a bar of soap. You shouldn’t have to ask for it. Very few wash cloths. If you plan to cook expect to get creative in having enough pots/utensils. Coffee maker leaks. Seems like the cabin got all the cast off appliances and furniture no longer wanted. Decor and bedding is from the 90s. The cabin also needs more safety lights outside. To me this is a safety hazard. There is only one oddly misplace light on the porch. Property overlooks an RV trailer park with outdoor toilets. Overall I was very disappointed and actually embarrassed booking this for my family. I felt like I failed them.

The cabin had all of the amenities we needed for an excellent weekend stay. It's very close to Bryson City and the Great Smoky Mountains, and served us well for day trips to ride the train, take short hikes to see waterfalls, and enjoy the outdoors. The fall leaves were beautiful and the large deck was the perfect location to watch the sun rise and set. The evenings were cool so the fireplace was a great place to warm up after at the end of the day. We had a great time . Thanks.

The cabin was nice but both bathrooms had very distinct odors of urine when we got there. To support 11 people, it was lacking cooking utensils as well as eating utensils. The location was very convenient to Bryson City and surrounding areas.

The house has very nice view with mountains. We had trouble getting internet the first night. But the manager tried to fix it and we got it next morning. Recommend to bring your own bedding because the bedding are not that clean. Our family really love the location and the view.

Our family enjoyed our stay very much. The owners were friendly and quite helpful. We had an issue with the gas grill and they replaced it with a brand new one. I would definitely rent it again.
