Loved the cabin, views were awesome! Interior had everything we needed and more. Getting in and out of the driveway in a full size truck was challenging. Hot tub was perfect. I will look to book again.
Our family vacation here was nothing short of magical. We had the most amazing time, thank you so much :) The house was roomy and clean, kitchen stocked with all the tools anyone could need. The hot tub was incredible and the view……pictures do not do it justice! Breathtaking! Bryson city is so cool, great shops, food, local brews ;) you’re just a short drive away from so many hiking trails and other fun adventures like whitewater rafting. Myself, the wife, and our 3 kids had the time of our lives there, thank you.
Amazing views and a great property! Would love to stay again!

We loved it! The view is phenomenal and the decor inside the cabin is very cool. The kids enjoyed the tree in the living room with the giant hornets nest(hornet free of course!)
The drive to the cabin is straight up but once we did it, it was fine. We did multiple trips to and from town for the polar express and the drive was fine. Would stay here again!
It’s a beautiful home in a lovely location. The rooms & beds were great, and we loved the porch and living area, as well as the hottub and firepit. The host provided s’mores supplies, which was most appreciated since we forgot to bring them. Unfortunately there was an issue with some sort of critter living in the attic which seemed to be ongoing based on comments from others in the guestbook provided, and hearing it moving around above is repeatedly prevented some of our party from being able to truly rest and relax during our stay. Without that, it would have been an amazing place to stay.

Response from VrboOwner on 10 Mar 2026
From the Owner: Thank you for staying with us and sharing your feedback! First off, let me apologize for the inconvenience you experienced during your stay. We have attempted several different avenues to remove the flying squirrel that has built its nest in our roof. Unfortunately, none have been successful yet, but please rest assured that we will continue to make this attempt.
This cabin is in a wooded/mountain area, which increases the likelihood that the wildlife may attempt to make it their home. We do not want this to negatively impact anyone's stay, and we will do everything we can to continue to reduce this risk.
Our stay was relaxing and overall amazing. Views were incredible! Cabin was supplied with everything we needed, roomy, and inviting. The owners put a lot of thought into the decor. Every day I was there I would find some other neat little feature like the tree coat rack, arrowhead side table, and the deer skin chair.
Cabin has fantastic views. The porch is fantastic. Property manager was communicative and helpful. We really enjoyed our time. This cabin was a great place to rest and relax for the week!
Nice property with beautiful hilltop views. Was well furnished and clean. Manager was proactive and made sure everything was OK.The best support is to not have to call for support and they did that well. We were a party of five out motorcycling and it was a fun stay.Would definitely recommend.
We had a great time here! LOVED the porch. We spent mornings and evenings on it just enjoying the view. Location was perfect for day trips for hiking and sightseeing. Hot tub was perfect after hikes. We visited in July and winding narrow roads up to house were fine.
The views were everything I had hoped for. The drive up the mountain was worth it. We got tons of use out of the game room and hot tub! I would highly recommend this rental!
The home is absolutely delightful. The view? Spectacular! Our and family loved the outside swing. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything we would neednto bake and cook a Christmas meal.Thendoceoqtiins
Steep climb to get to, but Oh...the views are worth it
My husband and I travel to the smokey Mountains aboit once a year, its our happy place. Out of the 10 or 15 cabins we've stayed in before, this cabin definitely has one of the best views we've ever had! The property manager was very responsive with a couple questions we had regarding check-in and temperature setting on the thermostats.
The drive to get to the cabin is steep, but not horrible compared to other cabins we've stayed in before. Its in a gated community that has only a few homes in. The drive through the community is one-lane, so it can cause some anxiety going up in case theres a vehicle on the other side. But the drive up does have a few areas you can pull aside to if there is oncoming traffic.
The cabin itself is very well-maintained. You can tell the owners have put a lot of love into their cabin between the timeless primitive antique decor and home improvements.
The one negative I would have is the green living room furniture. They are oldrr and dont provide good back support, they just kind of swallow you in 😅.
But, having a pillow behind helps.
Hope to stay here again, fantastic experience!

The cabin is beautiful and suited our needs perfectly. We were blown away by the beautiful views and the hot tub at night under the stars was awesome. We will definitely be staying there again! The host was available if needed, but it was perfect.
