The cabin was beautiful and the view was amazing!!! The road was very scary, especially at night. I was not aware of the road until after I reserved and paid for the cabin. It should be mentioned in the advertisement in case people don't have the vehicle for it especially in the winter. I almost stayed on the mountain and called for a rescue. Lol Just kidding. My family enjoyed the cabin and downtown Bryson City very much, and researching our family history.
Beautiful cabin with amazing views! The porch was wonderful for drinking coffee or reading a book. The hot tub was relaxing after a long day of exploring. WiFi was great, cooking was easy. Check in and out process was simple. We’ve stayed in many cabins and this is definitely one of the best!
We had a great stay. Drive up was great and easy to get used to. Nice that we were close to a couple small towns for groceries and exploration! Very relaxing vacation.
The cabin worked great for our group of four adults and two children. It was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils and pots and pans we needed to cook a good Thanksgiving meal.
A challenge to travel the access road but nice views.

Hello Al and Thank You for your complimentary review. We just love hearing about how Clean, Enjoyable, and well Maintained the properties we represent are (so does the housekeeper ;o) I am surprised to hear you found the road challenging. Most people say they are thankful it is paved, and that they are used to it by day 2. Views as spectacular as that do require driving up hill. Kathleen

Our family can’t say enough about this property. The location was so peaceful and the views were amazing! The cabin was perfect for reconnecting yet spacious enough to allow for individual down time. The cabin was very clean, updated and overall gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Hello Sherryann, Thank You so much for your lovely review. Since your visit, the cabin has been upgraded, updated, and the entire lower level has brand new solid wood flooring that flows beautifully with the rest of the cabin.
We hope your family will enjoy a repeat guest discount with another visit to the Great Smoky Mountains! Kathleen and the NCMR Team
The driveway was a bit daunting with a motorcycle but doable. Lovely cottage, very clean, amazing view. We are already talking about returning next year.

Beautiful home, elegant yet comfortable. This cabin is truly the best of all worlds.
Home is in a beautiful setting. There is a cabin right next to it which at first I thought objectionable but in realty never bothered me in the least. The cabin was very clean and well furnished and stocked with all necessities with the exception of food. Located in a convenient spot. Close to town yet secluded. Bryson City offers many attractions and the smokey mountain national forest with all the hiking and water fun right there
Rental agent was very helpful and friendly.
Highly recommend this cabin and area

OUTSTANDING PROPERTY AND VIEWS TO MATCH
THIS MOUNTAIN HOME IS OUTSTANDING! THE ROAD UP TO THE HOUSE IS WINDING , NARROW AND A BIT DAUNTUNG THE FIRST TIME UP BUT THE VIEWS FROM THE OUTSIDE DECKS ARE AMAZING. THE INSDE IS DECORATED FOR COMFORT AND RELAXATION AND THE BEDROOMS ALL HAVE GREAT BEDS AND BATHROOMS AND FLAT SCREENS IN EACH BEDROOM AS WELL AS IN THE GREAT ROOM AND THE TWO GAS FIREPLACES JUST MAKE IT PERFECT! WE ARRIVED WITH SMILES AND LEFT WITH SMILES AND WILL BE BACK AGAIN!

Dear Perry, Hello and Thank You so much for taking the time to submit this 5 star review for Smoky Mountain Dawn. I agree with you, it is a bit of an adventure driving up the hill to the cabin the first time. You don't get views like that in the valley... The beautiful cabin and Views out to Clingman's Dome in the Smokies are completely worth it! I hope you and your Mother enjoyed the cabin and the area. You are welcome back anytime! Kathleen - Property Manager
We really loved this place. The views were stunning. We could sit in that hot tub for hours and just look out at the stars. The sunrise over the mountains is breathtaking. Cozy bedrooms, nice bathrooms, a fun little firepit and BBQ for hanging out in the evening.
Some folks complain in reviews about neighbors. The adjacent house was occupied, and we never heard a peep. YMMV
Bryson is close, the NOC is close. Lots to do in the area. A well stocked kitchen (dishes, etc) if you want to stay in.
Very recommend this rental.

Amazing! Best stay ever!
My fiancé and I work very demanding and stressful jobs and are accountable 7 days a week to our staff. We were looking for a nice getaway tucked up on a mountain with a view. This cabin delivered the on all points and then some. There was not 1 single thing we wished it had. The view is absolutely breathtaking! It was very welcoming as soon as you walked in the door. We will definitely be back! You just got yourselves forever customers. Thank you for giving us what we so desperately needed.

Hello Phillip, We are so happy to hear how much you enjoyed yourselves at Smoky Mountain Dawn!
I feel like I should share with you the story about how this relaxing and welcoming retreat came to be.
The current owners bought this cabin about 5 years ago, after the bank foreclosed upon the former owner. As you may imagine, the cabin was in a sad state of disrepair, and was stripped of all fixtures. The current owner had health issues and thought he was dying. He wanted to create a gift of Love for his Amazing wife, Dawn. He worked tirelessly and spared no expense renovating the cabin, and all of the bathrooms, kitchen, etc... have been updated and are all brand new! Not long after the cabin was done, he received word from the Doctors that he was mis-diagnosed, and was indeed not dying. Fast forward to today, both of the Owners are alive and well, and enjoy the cabin as often as they can get away, which is not often enough...
This labor of Love shines through!
Property Manager and Real Estate Agent for the Owners (then Buyers), Kathleen Ford
By far the best cabin I’ve stayed in. Extremely clean, no drafts or bugs. Perfectly laid out, spacious yet cozy. The downstairs has its own little private master bedroom oasis! With private hot tub access. Once kids are tucked away and asleep upstairs, time to make a drink and go downstairs to master bedroom with own private fireplace and private access to the hot tub. The kids loved making a fire outside and sitting around the fire pit! We only stayed a weekend but I feel like I was able unwind and relax enough!! I can’t say enough how much I love this place. This will be our forever cabin vacation spot. We can’t wait to come babk

This place was amazing! The views!!! Watching the mountains fade away at sunset from the hot tub or the sunrise from bed. The town and its people were amazing. The train ride was so fun! The hiking in the area was beautiful. The cabin has everything you could possibly need. Steve communicated almost instantly. So helpful. Additionally, I left some items in the bathroom, he called and we actually got to meet him. The drive to the cabin was curvy but not as bad as it sounded. The directions were perfect and our GPS directions actually worked. Everett Street Dinner - Mountain Layers Brewery - Unplugged Pub
Cabin was filthy. Mice were getting on the counter and in our food. Hot tub and dirt at the bottom and water was cloudy/dirty. Someone with long blonde hair obviously had stayed there prior because it was everywhere. I don’t understand how the previous reviews state the cabin was very clean. It certainly didn’t get that filthy overnight.

Hello Kimberly, The horrible conditions you mentioned are beyond unacceptable!
Your group stayed at Smoky Mountain Dawn over a month ago. I really wish you had brought this to our attention during your time there (or even filled in the online survey we emailed to you upon check out). We have a Pest Control Contract in place, and they inspect and treat the cabin quarterly. No one has ever seen/reported any mice problems. Additionally, the rest of the reviews rave about how Immaculate the cabin is because our Housekeepers do outstanding work. Prior to each check in, the cabin is cleaned and scrubbed from top to bottom, every square inch!
We cannot do anything to correct an issue we are unaware of.
It feels like we are not discussing the same property, but the Guest and Property names do match up.
This cabin was perfect. We booked a week to get away from the city and hustle and bustle of our busy life. The house was very clean. The layout was great. The downstairs master was a perfect place for my husband and I to completely unwind. We had honemade spa nights, soaked un the hot tub and relaxed by the fire. The view is breathtaking, we watched the sunrise abd sunset. Cabin is just minutes away from all that you need in Bryson City. We will be back. This cabin has the peace and quiet and mountain views and plenty of wildlife to see....this is how we recharge and unplug from all electronics. We didnt want to leace.
We made the most magical memories on our vacation to Bryson City. This house is everything. From Crystal clear directions on check in to the detailed directions to drive up to the house. Btw the drive up the mountain is so fun! Nicely paved and clearly marked. When you come up over that last turn what you find is a stunning property. This place feels like home the moment you walk in. It has everything and I mean everything you need. Very clean. Instructions on how to operate TV’s, the hot tub and anything else you need to know. Obviously the views are breathtaking and that hot tub is such a bonus. I just can’t say enough great things and what a special time I had with my teens there. Thank you!

This place is nothing short of amazing. It’s all about the views just gorgeous!!!. The place was extremely clean. Lots of attention to detail everywhere you look. I love to cook and this kitchen did not disappoint. I felt like I was living like the rich and famous. Pictures on the verbo website don’t do it justice. It’s so over the top beautiful. They have thought of everything that you would need and things you didn’t know you needed. Things I would recommend. Don’t miss cades cove we saw about 9 bears one mother with 2 cubs as well. On the way back to the cabin we saw lots of elk on the side of the road simply amazing. Also go on a fishing trip. We bought walleye trout several kinds of trout. That was with Jerod from smoky mountain fishing. He was really good. My husband and I are in our early sixties. I’m so glad I picked this cabin. Trust me when I tell you you will be too.
We have stayed at several homes in the area for our yearly mountain trip but we both agreed this is the one we want to return to! The layout of this home is truly perfect for a couple or single family. The master suite in the basement is perfectly laid out for a romantic weekend away with the hot tub just steps away on the master suite balcony (also, the gorgeous view!!) and the spacious bedroom with super comfy bed, sitting area, and fire place. The bathroom is also so nice with a heater and large double shower. Truly so cozy even during a freezing cold weekend—many others we have stayed at have been a little drafty. The other two bedrooms are one on the main floor and one in the loft and would be perfect for other family/children but not nearly as luxurious as the master—so maybe not ideal for multiple couples because everyone would be fighting for the basement master! I can’t emphasize how stunning the view here is! The trek up the mountain is so worth it! We will be booking again next year! The only issue we had was the smoke alarm sounding whenever we used the oven—even when there was no trace of smoke. But it was only a momentary issue! Dawn has clearly kept this home with love and attention and it shows. We loved it here and you will too!

About the host
Hosted by NC Mountains Realty & Vacation Rentals
The Owners presently live in Florida, and enjoy their Mountain Cabin as often as possible! Dawn is still working full time, and is writing a novel in her spare time, thus the lovely desk "nook" in the loft. Roger is retired, but probably works more now than ever before!
Why they chose this property
When Roger and Dawn laid eyes on this cabin, it was "Love at first Sight"! Although the cabin was not that old, it did need quite a bit of work to bring it to it's present "Glory"! Roger and Dawn conquered that challenge Brilliantly!
What makes this property unique
Long Range Mountain Views, and the most incredibly Romantic Master Suite offering a second Fireplace, Shower for Two, and more... We would love to hear from You, Call or email us about "Smoky Mountain Dawn"
