This cabin was absolutely beautiful and the perfect size for our group of 10. We booked this cabin to stay since it was close to the polar express. The additional directions given by the owners navigated us through the mountain roads without confusion. Upon arrival, the cabin was clean and looked exactly like the pictures. As a bonus we got snow flurries out first night which made the trip even more special. Prior to arrival the owners communicated all check in directions hours before check in and cabin contained a book with additional house instructions. Everything was so convenient and well planned that we never had to contact the owners. This was definitely a memorable family trip and we will be booking again soon!

This place was perfect for our family of 6 on our Polar Express trip. Easy access to downtown Bryson City, but far enough away to get that great isolated mountain home feel. Definitely recommend.

This place is beautiful and spacious. Perfect for two couples, an infant, and our dogs. We had a great long fall weekend with the hot tub and fire pit. Thanks to the hosts - they really made us feel welcome and made a great home for sharing.

We loved the seclusion of the cabin. The hot tub was a perfect way to enjoy the sunrise in the morning and a perfect way to end our day. The cabin was very clean and furnished with more than what we needed for our 5 nights. We will definitely stay here again.

Was a very pleasant weekend. The home was amazing, it even had a pac and play, a high chair and a toddler play table and chairs. The beds very comfortable, the hot tub was much needed after a day of sight seeing. Which was planned with the help of the information provided by the home host. Highly recommend.

This landlord was exceptionally available and helpful to answer questions. The driveway is extremely steep, so be careful with vehicles that are not 4-wheel drive. Very well kept and stocked property! We loved our stay!!

Very nice cabin with lots of room for the family. Very nice layout. Everything was very well organized. The host was very responsive to the questions I had. Location to town was very good. The advertised 5 acres is true but most of the acreage seemed to be above the cabin site. We did enjoy hiking up the cut road for exercise.

Our visit was perfect. Our purpose for vacationing in Bryson City was to ride the Polar Express, which made the location of this property very convenient. The owners' communications were timely, complete and welcoming. The cabin is beautiful and comfortable. The amenities made relaxing as a multigenerational family easy and stress-free.

Awesome cabin with a cool layout. The large deck and flat yard is great. It rained the entire week so having a covered hot tub saved was perfect. The owners are very responsive and the overall experience was easy and relaxing
