This house was close to Bryson City and secondly to all the great towns in the Smokey Mountains in North Carolina. The property was close to town but also secluded so it was quiet. We enjoyed the grill and the fire pit. The bedrooms were roomy and the beds comfortable. The furniture was nice and the house decorated beautifully. There was only one tv but we didn’t mind that. It gave us a chance to unplug. The WiFi worked fine.

We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Sunset Ridge. The area was secluded yet you had neighbors so you felt safe. The only complaint we had was the outdoor lighting situation under the porch where the hot tub is located. We were two moms with our 8 year old daughters who loved that area. The owner let us know where some flashlights were and it helped. It did not alter our enjoyment of the cabin and if we are ever in this area, we would love to be able to rent this beautiful cabin again. The owner was very quick to respond to any questions I had.

This property was everything stated and more. Even inside the cabin, you still felt a sense of the outdoors. The cabin was decorated beautifully, with more than enough room to move around. It was clean and stocked with everything you would need. I highly recommend this property. I really didnt want to leave.

Beautiful, well equipped, comfortable home in a very private but convenient location. Easy access to all that Bryson City has to offer. The porch and hot tub were favorites during our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Sunset Ridge!

This home exceeded our expectations. It was super clean and had all of the things we needed. There were six of us and we had no problems with space. The only downside might be that you have to haul your own trash, however, it’s roughly a mile from the house. It was super easy to find and wasn’t an inconvenience to us. The property is secluded and private. We were able to enjoy the outside amenities without any concerns. Overall we had a wonder stay and would definitely recommend to others looking to stay in the Bryson City area.

Spent 5 nights in this beautiful cabin with family. It was as described in the listing. It was well equipped with many thoughtful details well beyond what was expected. We loved the location, close to town yet very private, nestled up in the middle of a mountain with a great view of mountains. Morning coffee on the porch swing with that view is just amazing! It was "icing on the cake" when the steam engine went through blowing its whistle on a "smoky" morning and it echoed through the valley. Ingles Grocery store is 5 minutes away and we visited it twice for food and firewood (which burned great!). We ventured into the National Park 2 days, rode the GSMR, and took a trip to Highland to see Dry Falls, Bust your Butt Falls and Bridal Veil Falls along Route 28. We enjoyed the hot tub after long hiking days to soothe achy legs!
Our group described the cabin and the Bryson City area as a "hidden gem".

The cabin is always great. We love going into Bryson City and riding the train, hiking to the waterfall’s and the road to nowhere. It’s also close to NOC where we go rafting.
We always enjoy our stay. The owners are easy to dealing with.

The hosts were fantastic and the property and location were perfect! Close to attractions and area restaurants! Contact with the hosts was minimal, that being said, everything the Vrbo is spot on and upon arrival was even better than the post! The home was extremely comfortable and well appointed. You could feel the passion the hosts have taken! We were 4 adults up for the Labor Day weekend to take a Great Smoky Mountains Railroad tour and also go whitewater rafting (bucket list). We all hated to leave but with that said we wanted to return next year! I really don’t have anything negative at all. The gang enjoyed the fun filled weekend in Bryson City. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!

Loved this cabin! Super clean, 3 bedrooms, all with queen beds, hot tub and fire pit. And secluded in the woods yet just 5 min to an Ingles grocery store. Would stay here again.

Great property near in Smokies!
Great property! The entire process was very easy from contacting the owner the very first time, to getting instructions for access, to staying/checking out.
My disappointment was not having ground-floor access for my mom, but that's entirely my fault for looking at too many options and getting them mixed up. As is, she was able to get up the steps with relative ease and was even comforted to be safe from any unwanted bears (I don't think there are many bears around).
So the 2nd floor is the "ground" floor and it's immaculate. Plenty of space for watching TV together, cooking, and eating. I rarely ventured to the third floor but there was room for 3-4 people to sleep with their own bathroom.
The main bedroom on the 2nd floor is big and comes with a lovely full bath. Out in the main space there is a half bath. Worked out very well for a party of five.
Place is a little frightening when arriving for the first time after dark...that's the rural aspect. But that's part of the charm of the place. Turned out to be a very lovely property and I'm glad we were able to call it home for four nights.

Pro: Quiet, peaceful, beautiful home, richly appointed, nice master bathroom, great hot tub/outdoor facilities including ceiling fans on the deck, great A/C, comfortable beds, well-appointed kitchen Cons: 17 steps up to front door, very difficult for hauling luggage and for those who have mobility limitations, gravel road to home best described as narrow, rutted single track. (recommend high ground clearance vehicle - hope no one is coming from opposite direction), no TV in bedrooms, Not 3 bathrooms, really two and a powder room - second floor guests must share upstairs bathroom

The cabin is perfectly located. It is secluded, yet a short drive from beautiful hiking trails and downtown Bryson. It is just as pictured: nicely decorated, very clean, well stocked,, and comfortable with lots of outdoor seating on the wrap around porch to relax and take in the views and fresh air. We couldn't be happier with our stay.

This home had so many special touches. The decor was very cabin like and it had amazing lights around the property that kept the property lit at night. A night light in every room, hand soap pumps at every sink, fire wood enough for our first fire, wonderfully comfortable beds and cushy toilet paper! The only improvement I would suggest is to have wildlife on contract so they would make an appearance when I stood on the porch looking for them!!!!

Our family loved every piece of the house, especially the front desk. My kids practiced violin in the morning on the deck, staying so close to nature. I loved to sit on the swing to enjoy the quiescent surroundings, wishing time could freeze at that moment.
It takes about half an hour from the house to the Great Smokey Mountain. The location is quite convenient. The house has everything we need and well decorated.
The only issue was that we only got two tiny bottles of shampoo for a group of 5 people staying for a whole week. Also, the upstairs bathroom ran out of hand soap. Everything else was good.

Our family had a wonderful time at Sunset Ridge. The house was clean and it had plenty of space for our family of 4. The homeowner was quick to respond to a concern that we had.
We would definitely stay again if we are ever in the Bryson City area again!

We could not have asked for a better experience on our first trip to the Smoky Mountains! The cabin is beautiful and in a great location (the pictures in the listing truly don’t capture how amazing it is here!) Sitting on the front porch with my morning coffee, overlooking the mountains and listening to the birds was pure relaxation. You can easily access the National Park, and if you want to venture into Gatlinburg for the afternoon, it’s a gorgeous drive (only slightly over 1 hour). We hope to return again sometime!
