Couldn’t ask for a more cozy cabin and the surrounding town is so cute with tons of great hikes.

We LOVED the Happy Top Hideaway! It was beautiful, clean, spacious, and conveniently located to all the things we wanted to do including river rafting and enjoying Bryson City. We planned to hopefully book it again next year!

The cabin hits all the high marks. It has a beautiful unobstructed view and it was clean and has all the conveniences of home. It is minutes from Tsali mountain bike trails and whitewater rafting at Nantahala outdoor center. You can also get on Lake Fontana paddle boarding or rent a boat. There is something for everyone, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

The cabin was bright and airy and we loved the location. Most enjoyed spending time on the deck with mountain views and beautiful forest surrounds. Easy accessibility to the NOC and Bryson City was great too. Cabin was well outfitted with all the necessities and very clean. The one suggestion for improvement would be more supportive beds/mattresses as we struggled to get comfy on those provided. Even so, overall had a lovely time and would return to the cabin. Thank you!

We stayed here for 2 nights and had a great time. We brought along our 3 children and it was an awesome place for kids to run around outside. Very clean. The driveway is steep at the very top but if you hang to the far left you can avoid the big potholes. Our minivan did it just fine.

Very spacious and comfortable property, the deck was wonderful! The drive up the hill is a steep gravel road, so a consideration for wintertime.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here! Very clean and cozy and all amenities:) You will not be disappointed. There is a gravel road up to the cabin that can be steep in spots so I would recommend bringing your awd vehicle just in case. Once you are settled in however, the cabin has tremendous views and there is great coffee shop about 5 mins from the cabin(cardinal coffee). Downtown Bryson City is about a 15 min drive so it's quite close with restaurants, pubs and shops for all different tastes. You will not be disappointed !

We loved our stay at the happy top cabin. The cabin was very clean and very cute. We would definitely stay here again! Only thing was there was a huge yellow jacket nest under the back deck on the right side and my son and I got stung a couple times on our first day. But other than that everything was amazing!!

My family and I enjoyed our stay. The cabin is very quaint and location ideal - close to town but still feels secluded. The way the company communicates via text/call center isn’t something that impressed me. Two of the issues that I reported never got addressed. I’d certainly come back, but it would be nice to have a local in-town agency/contact person for assistance.

This was a very nice and comfortable cabin located at the top of a small hill off the main highway just 15min from the great town of Bryson City and 10min from Nantahala Outdoor Center in the other direction. It has a great big patio deck with a nice view mostly surrounded by large trees. There was also a fire pit area we used and a grill we did not. Very nice stargazing spot on a clear night and we saw fireflies both nights we were there in the summer. Nice equipped kitchen area and cozy bedrooms. There were some larger tv screens available with satellite tv, but we did not use them. The washer/dryer inside were also very useful. As some other reviewers noted, the path up to this cabin is a bit of a steep drive up a gravel road with some bumps. We did not have 4WD or AWD and made it OK but our crossover did seem to struggle one time and this was without rain. Nice little coffee spot, Cardinal Coffee nearby too. All around great cabin for a short getaway near the Great Smoky Mountains.

Really lovely outdoor spaces. The deck is phenomenal and we enjoyed the covered porch in the rain. The inside is exactly as pictured. The WiFi does not work. At all. This is problematic for those of us who do need to check in to work while on vacation and a HUGE issue to those who work fully remotely. The half mile up the gravel driveway wasn’t terrible. I imagine it could be done in a regular car.

This home was exactly what we were looking for during our time to see the Polar Express. The road to get to the house was no problem for us. We have an Armada but I could see where it could be a problem for others in the winter for the last climb before seeing the house. The view from the back deck is simply amazing and the whole house itself is cozy. The wifi did have some problems streaming movies but other than that it was just fine. Towels, shampoo, conditioner, bar soap (all dove), dish soap, sponge, paper towel roll, and one roll of toilet paper were all provided in case anyone was wondering. We had our own but just in case. We will definitely be staying here again!

The gas lines are intentially disconnected so fire place will not work. I sent a video and pictures to VACASA (property management) and they did NOTHING for us. They said they sent this info. to the local property manager & owner and nothing was ever done even though they continually said they would send someone out to fix it starting on day 2 of our 16 day stay. We had to contact VACASA almost every other day for an update once no one showed up. For paying close to 3,000, we expect everything would be like the property listing description to be. We wanted a property with a fireplace and hot tube but found this property without a hot tube but it said in the LISTING TITLE and the FIRST SENTENCE OF THE DESCRIPTION that the fire place works!!!!!!!!! So we booked it looking forward to a working fireplace. VERY DISSAPOINTED that the fireplace didnt work while IT SNOWED during our stay. Vacasa never made an effort to make it right. I will never rent another place with VACASA. Also, general property maintenance noting: (decking boards need work, numerous major deep ruts in final driveway approach need repaired.) Kitchenware needs updating. American Flag holder was broken upon arrival and both (2) ourdoor grill propane tanks were almost empty at arrival. Large cold air draft under front door.We do not like making a bad review but this has been an ongoing issue with this property after talking with multiple people at VACASA during our stay.
