Honestly had a wonderful stay at Big Sky Lodge. Everything was just as noted in listing and Watershed Properties was easy to deal with. Owners could do MINOR updating of shower heads, toilets and carpet downstairs to keep property 4⭐️; but beds comfortable and kitchen well stocked. Had a wonderful visit and the view is spectacular!

Beautiful views and a wonderful cabin. We were so comfortable! 2 kids and 5 adults and a perfect getaway. Great cabin to relax for a weekend. Nothing beats having coffee sitting on a rocker and looking at this view.

Our family of 6 with all adult children had a blast for my husband's 60th birthday. The hot tub, pool table, fully equipped kitchen, wrap around porch, and fire pit were wonderful!!!

The property was super new. Clean and everything we needed were available. We did not need to contact the owner at all.

House was perfect for our needs. Property management is very friendly. Views are outstanding. Pictures don’t do it justice

Who we are: I am a cancer doctor, and stayed at the Big Sky Lodge with my cousin, who is a US Military officer. We know what it means to be of service to others. Potential renters: The cabin and its location are beautiful. The cabin is located at the top of a hill, with very steep and incompletely paved roads. We recently stayed at the cabin for the weekend, but unfortunately Winter Storm Diego decided crash our party. After monitoring the weather closely and speaking to locals, we realized that it would be unsafe for our families (with 4 children ages 7 and under!) to stay at the cabin for the second night of our reservation. We spoke with Ms. Linda, who is a manager at Watershed Cabins, who basically said that the forecast had changed (not true), and that there may not even be any snow in the area, and there's no reason for us to leave early--thus, we would not be able to get a credit for our second night for a future trip (we weren't even requesting a refund!). A couple hours later, the Emergency Notification Service in Swain County called the cabin and said that the storm was likely to leave treacherous conditions (snow, freezing rain, etc) with a high possibility of power outages. When I called Ms. Linda @ Watershed Cabins, she again did not see a reason why our families (with 4 young children!) needed to evacuate early and refused to consider a credit for our second night stay (did I mention the road leading to the cabin is very steep?!). Anyway, we left because it was the only logical and safe thing to do--and the area got hit with ~12 inches of snow that night...thank goodness we did not heed her advice. Lesson? PLEASE CONSIDER the horrible management team before choosing this property-->you never know when you may need something. To the Owner of this property: PLEASE change your management company. In this modern era, I think Ms. Linda and the Watershed Cabins management team is a LIABILITY for you--they are giving completely unsafe and self-interested advice. I predict that the negligence that Ms. Linda demonstrated may result in legal jeopardy at some point, unless the approach changes drastically. I will never be staying at this property again--never in my many years of VRBO rentals have I encountered a similar situation. To Ms. Linda: I hope one day you will see that morality still applies when you are dealing with a client...I'm very sorry that you could not be of any help to us in a possibly dangerous situation.

We enjoyed our stay and the house was perfect. The view was wonderful. Plenty to do just staying at the house.

Loved the cabin. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the driveway. We took a motorcycle trip and rented the cabin. Wish the description would have said NOT Motorcycle friendly. Other than that the cabin was clean and the views are beautiful. We will be back but in a car.

This cabin is so beautiful, perched atop the mountain with amazing views! We enjoyed the view from the hot tub, pool table in the basement, and just getting away from it all! GPS makes Bryson city seem farther away than it really is - it's a quick drive to town and even closer is the Nantahala. We didn't have trouble with the steep roads but it was summer. In winter you'd need 4wd or chains. You can tell the owners want to make you feel comfortable during your stay! Definitely recommend it!

The property was great.

Entrance is steep but 90% paved. Great all around experience during eclipse.
