My husband, 9-yo son, and I spent a long weekend here so we could go white water rafting. This house was an absolute little slice of heaven. Everything was very clean and well-maintained. There were tons of puzzles and games available, which my kiddo and I had a blast playing. The hot tub was a special treat! We enjoyed sitting on the porch and exploring in the woods on the property. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to the area in the future.

Best little gem in The Smokey Mountains

We came for our anniversary and stayed 6 nights. The home is so inviting and and is a very quiet area. After long days of hiking to waterfalls and explorig Bryson City, Cherokee, and Maggie Valley, it was great to come back and relax in the hot tub or by the firepit.

We had a wonderful stay in the mountains. Super responsive host and the place was cozy and had everything we needed. We enjoyed our quick escape and look forward to booking again in the warmer months. Downtown Bryson city was a Christmas Hallmark scene- I suggest spending an afternoon there!
