If you are looking for a secluded cabin high up in the mountains, this is a perfect place to stay.
Getting to the cabin is a bit challenging…the drive on the very narrow winding steep road is quite challenging, especially at night (our stay included a performance of “Unto These Hills” in Cherokee and required us to return to the cabin rather late in the evening). There were 3 couples in our party, and the layout of the cabin lended itself very well to accommodating us all with its three bedrooms with private baths. Also, the kitchen is very well stocked with dishes, glasses, and cooking pots, pans, and utensils.
Our biggest complaint (hence the 3-star overall rating) is in that, when paying such a large fee for cleaning serves, the cabin was, at best, only “spot cleaned” when we arrived. Cobwebs hung from light fixtures, the table was so sticky, we had to pull off the table runner and placemats and wash everything down in order to use it. There were other things we noticed as well, mostly small issues; however, when paying a rather large amount to have a place cleaned by a professional service, you expect a better outcome than we found.
That being said, we did have a wonderful time and enjoyed our stay.
FYI….be aware that there is a massive poison ivy vine on the tree directly in front of the porch area.

Very nice cabin. Lots of small things that made it a great experience.

Great. Plenty of rooms, bathrooms, kitchen was well stocked and easy to get around in. Loved the firepit and hot tub.
Needed a TV downstairs, just for emergencies like a rainy day and something to entertain the little ones.
No lights in the stove microwave. Hard to see food when cooking.

Four couples came to Bryson City for the Moonshine Express on the Smoky Mountain Railroad, some waterfall gazing, and time together in a beautiful setting. We loved staying at this home. The layout is perfect for four couples (everyone had their own bathroom). We enjoyed the hot tub and the firepit. We spent a lot of time on the back deck enjoying the view of the mountains. The kitchen was well stocked and there was a Blackstone grill on the deck as well as a regular gas grill. It's a bit of a winding drive from Bryson City, but the setting and the seclusion are worth it.

The journey to the house from the bottom of the mountain, in the snow was a little scary and we were in a truck. However, the house is beautiful and so was the view. We had a great time.
4.4
Beautiful property with great proximity to mountain activities. The house was very clean and well stocked.
4.4
The house had 3 master bedrooms with king beds. We played games on the porch and enjoyed the firepit. We had family in several cabins and they all came for dinner. There was plenty of plates and glasses and silverware for everyone. We would definitely stay here again in the future.
