I’m happy to hear you found the cabin wonderful, and that your kids loved all the things to do as well. Some people find the mountain roads adventurous and easy to manipulate and love the views from being at the top. Others find them intimidating if they are not used to gravel mountain roads with inclines. We look forward to your return visit in the future!

Wonderful Stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in November! Short drive to Bryson City and the National Park. Cabin was clean, cozy, and well stocked. The Christmas tree and decorations were a special surprise! We especially enjoyed the fireplace and porch. Host was prompt to respond to questions and so kind and accommodating.

Relaxing anniversary

This home is exactly as stated!! We loved our stay here and the views!! The hot tub is a wonderful bonus. We also loved being able to cook our own meals.

Will definitely be back!

We love this house! This house is very comfortable and pretty house with a great view. It was a drive up a gravel driveway but nothing too bad. This house is very close to downtown Bryson City is well as cherokee and the casino. The yard was a wonderful touch. I loved having good curtains in the bedrooms. We also loved the open concept. Thank you, Christina for everything. Oh, one more important thing! Lately most of the places that we stay have one or two days of supplies. Not only was there hand soap and dish soap but also coffee filters and some spices. This was great!

Thank you Laura for your kind words. It was my pleasure to host you and your family. It makes me happy that you all felt right at home and had everything you needed to enjoy your stay. I am glad you enjoyed the yard and the amenities I added to it for a family of all ages. Being close to Bryson City and Cherokee is a great plus as well and I hope you got to enjoy both and everything they have to offer. My favorite in Cherokee is the Sunday Seafood Buffet in Harrahs Casino!! I look forward to hosting you and your family again in the future. Blessings, Christina Hayward

Cute Cabin - Inconvenient Location

Overall a cute place at an okay value. PROS: - Size and layout were perfect for our family of five - Decor was really cute - Kids loved the play area near the firepit - The game area was super inviting - our family finished a game of Monopoly for the first time ever! - Kitchen was well equipped. We cooked several meals and were able to find everything we needed. Small Cons - An inadequate amount of consumables were provided. We had to purchase our own coffee filters and paper towel, and quite nearly ran out of toilet paper as well. - We also had to purchase an allergen-free laundry detergent since the one used in the cabin was making us break out in rashes just from the sheets and towels. -The host asks guests to drive to the dump any trash that doesn't fit into the outside can - which seems reasonable until you realize that the outside can fits no more than three bags. BIG CON: The Road This one makes the other cons more salient. The map makes it look like this place is in town. No, it is on a mountain. The last 5-6 minutes of the drive is a twisty, turny, steep one-car path. Holy heck, we almost didn't make it up a few times. And when we met a car coming down, we had to back down until we found a place to pull into. Not at all a relaxing vacation experience. Thankfully, the weather was dry for our entire stay so we were able to get in and out successfully. But we did question whether we *actually* needed to go into town since the drive was such a pain - and I literally don't think we could have stayed here in wet weather. The worst part of all - once you finally get up to the top, you can hear highway traffic and dogs barking all day and night. The neighbors were really nice but very close by. If we had known what the road up was like, we never would have stayed here. Now, in all fairness, the host did try to send us a video of the drive up but was never able to get it to us in a format we could view. If you are comfortable or familiar with mountain driving, or have a four wheel drive vehicle, you probably won't have any issues. If you are a family from suburban Michigan in a minivan, please think twice about staying here.

Amazing view

We were welcomed with a bottle of wine. The cabin was nicely decorated and had everything and more. Loved the hot tub, amazing views, and roasting marshmallows by the fire. Location was optimal for river rafting, exploring waterfall trails and Smokey Mountain National Park. Thanks for the memories. We did lose a pair of earbuds while there, hoping they might be found.

Cute cabin with everything we needed and the scenery from the deck was gorgeous. I, however, found the road to the cabin overwhelming and felt "stuck" once there. But that is just me and for those who are comfortable driving up a one lane mountain road will find it adds to the charm.

Great getaway to unplug.

Loved the small cabin feel. Very clean cabin and my wife loved the small surprise with the bottle of wine. Kids loved all board games and ring toss. Good view of the mountains, enjoyed a place for the kids to play outside in the kid size cabin and swings. Don’t be intimidated by the drive up to the cabin it’s worth it and can’t wait to go back.

A perfect family getaway!

We had such an amazing time at Southern Comfort! The house was immaculate and had everything we needed and more. First off, the Mountain View from the back porch was incredible and made every meal truly memorable. We spent most of the days in Bryson City —zip lining, tubing and at the NOC. Our afternoons were spent in the hot tub and cooking yummy dinners in this cozy cabin. The only think we couldn’t do was take advantage of the fire pit because it rained most nights. This was the perfect spot for a family of four and we hope to return one day soon!

Good, but just not for us

Overall the house was really nice, hottub was great, and back porch was one of our favorite places. But the road leading to the property was terrible, at best. It was washed out, extremely muddy, and hard to navigate. So if you plan on bringing your motorcycle or even going in and out often, I wouldn't really recommend this property.

Thank you for staying with us and enjoying the cabin and wonderful views like everyone else! Sorry to hear about your trouble with the roads. Someone was just building a home there and tore up the roads which the situation has been fixed now back to normal. We have had this rental cabin for two years with no road problems previously.

Beautiful cabin in a quiet area in mountain. This cabin was everything we were looking for: large enough for a family, yard space, isolated with great view. Really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was near Smoky Mountain National Park and other outdoor points of interest.

Cozy Cabin - great for families!

Everything about this cabin was perfect. All details were covered and all of the conveniences of home (plus some) were at our fingertips. The hot tub was great, the rooms were gorgeous, and the living space and kitchen were perfect for hanging out and playing games. The view is gorgeous and the outside sitting/fire pit and swings were icing on the cake. This cabin is exactly as described and we had the best experience. The property owner was very communicative and made sure we had everything we needed. I will say that you may want to figure out how to access the DVD player before you get there, if you’d like to watch movies. We couldn’t figure it out, but it didn’t matter enough to us. The town was fun and I’d recommend driving up to Cherokee to see the elk in the field during the early morning - it’s only a 15 minute drive and so worth it. We also rode the train and that was an amazing adventure also. This place was way better than staying at any hotel I’ve ever stayed at. We have a family of 5 and we fit comfortably. I love that we got to stay here and I would 100% recommend it to anyone.

I am so happy you and your family loved the cabin and all the amenities. I just purchased a new TV and now the DVD player works without any issues and I left very detailed instructions on how to use all the electronics!! I am not a tech person so I thought this would help others like me. Everyone loves the fact that you have a wonderful cabin in the woods with great views but then you are also only couple miles from downtown Bryson City and the train and only about 10 miles or less to Cherokee. You are so close to many great family activities. I love being part of family memories!

Overall good but a few issues

First off, the cabin itself is beautiful and spacious. It was just the two of us but could easily have fit 3-4 more in there. The grill worked easily and the gas stove was awesome. We used the fire pit also and met the great neighbors. The problems were minor mostly but made our stay frustrating. We had two televisions with non working remotes. We even bought batteries and still no cigar. The two TVs were stuck on one channel the entire stay. Secondly, the ice maker didn’t work. For ice hogs like us that was a pain and again we had to go off to the store for ice. Thirdly, the upstairs squeaks every step you take. When you combine that with the squeaky master bed, it makes sleeping the whole night impossible If anyone gets up in the middle of the night. Finally the internet is slow. One last thing, take a truck or high up car for the stay. The road up to the cabin is awful and full of holes.
Response from VrboOwner on 3 April 2020
I am happy to hear you loved your stay. The internet/cable issues were due to the replacement roof and the dishes was not aligned properly. That has been fixed now along with a brand new roof!! Sorry to hear your frustration with the ice maker which has now been fixed as well. We have never had any issues before. Everyone has found the beds to be comfy with no issues so sorry to hear you had a different experience. Everyone loves the cabin with the wood floors and the amazing view up on the mountain. As for the road, they just had a bad storm which caused some pot holes on the gravel road which they fix due to everyone that lives on that mountain are permanent residences and they take pride in having a good road to their homes. No one has ever had any problems getting to the cabin in any type of car and even my son who drives a Tesla was just there with no issues. I take pride in providing the best stay and making everyone feel right at home with all my amenities and attention to detail.
