We had the most amazing experience. Nestled out off the road with no distractions. Can’t give it enough stars and definitely will be coming back. We don’t want to leave!!!
We rented this cabin while coming to Bryson City for the Polar Express. The cabin was nice and perfect for our family of six. It was well stocked and clean. Would rent it again.
We enjoyed our stay so much. Cabin in s excellent. Host is very professional and kept communication very well and connected. Checkin and checkout are so smooth. Loved this place. Had a great time. My kids loved the location
Our stay was fabulous the cabin was clean and well maintained. It was certainly located to many attractions couldn’t have been any better. We was ready to move in and stay forever.
My husband and I came here looking to have a peaceful mountain trip and to get-away from the congested, hustle and bustle of the Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg area. This was perfect. Bryson City is a quiet, but fun little town and is also conveniently located 15 minutes from Cherokee, which is also a quiet but fun little town with things to do. We really enjoyed seeing elk walking in downtown Cherokee. Truly an experience. This side of the mountain tends to lean more towards seasonal things. So if you plan to bring kids or if you want more outdoorsy things to do, come between March and November. I noticed that a lot of outdoor things were closed down during winter months. But for us, the slow down was just what we needed.
If you're looking for a rural, mountain retreat, I would recommend this listing. Sam was a great host, and made things simple.

When we arrived my first impression was wow, decent place to enjoy for the weekend. But as soon as we touched the door handle it almost fell off, yes we had to get some tools from trick and tighten it. We entered and found home pretty clean and went to back sliding glass door and the whole handle was broke off, one screw had it dangling. We then started putting stuff in fridge and freezer and clothes away only to hear my son say there is mouse poop on the counter ( he was right). After some time we went to cook dinner to find minimal cookware, went to turn on gas grill and bottle empty ( good by owner it’s up to tenants to fill) the charcoal grill lid was so rusty on hinges it fell off too. So I had to grill on my travel blackstone the first night….Middle of night I was hearing something and woke up to turn on lights to find a mouse staring at me, little did I know that after we woke up we found where they are nesting and had babies on the back porch soffit. Rat crap all over deck, ground and in cracks of soffit. After relaying to owner all of this he was very apologetic and understanding. Toilets had water staining in them, couch looked broke, tv upstairs didn’t work ( per my kids) front banister is falling along with what was listed above. Homeowner did refund some money which was grateful and we tried our best to enjoy rest of stay. A few hrs in home and a few hundred dollars in repairs and an exterminator this place would be alot better. Thanks
Secluded, private cabin with all the amenities. Great location in the woods and near to Bryson City. Truly a gem. Sam, the property owner and manager, was extremely helpful and prompt in responding to my questions. Highly recommend this cabin!
We stayed for a quick weekend trip and this place was perfect!! It’s definitely secluded and quiet and that’s what we love when we travel. All the rooms and showers were clean and Sam was a great host and gave us easy instructions and was available if we needed. If we come back to the area we will definitely stay here again!
Sam’s communication was great. Very accommodating when our plans changed. The oven quit working one night but came back on the next day. Could use an update on cookware too. Hot tub was perfect. Would recommend and stay again if available.
We booked a quick trip to Bryson for a small vacation and to visit one of our favorite areas. From the moment we booked until the moment we checked out, Sam, the host, has been nothing but wonderful. Upon arrival, the directions were straightforward and easy to follow. The house was beautifully cleaned and welcoming. The house had everything we could need! The hot tub was a treat, and I loved the porch swing. We didn’t get to do a fire this time, but the nights were chilly and the house was nice and warm. This was definitely a wonderful vacation for us and the pup! This is one of the first places we’ve ever stayed at that is pet friendly and doesn’t smell like pets! I know that sounds strange, but as a pet owner, we notice!Before checking out, Sam was wonderful and sent a quick refresh guide on their process for checking out! We definitely will be staying here again!
Our time at this cabin was wonderful. Sam has done a great job making this place comfortable & accommodating.
There was a large, covered back deck with a roomy table, gas & charcoal grills. Our family had plenty of room with the 3 bedrooms. I appreciated the two double beds in one of the rooms so our grandchildren each had their own bed. There were soft blankets available bedside the fireplace for snuggling on the comfortable couches.
The hottub was great & we enjoyed the front porch swing as well. The beds were all comfortable as Sam has them covered with pillow top mattress covers.
We found the kitchen well-equipped with another roomy table where we played cutthroat Uno with the grandchildren.
The cabin has 2 1/2 bathrooms.
The only drawback I can think of is that it’s 15 minutes from Bryson City, but that wasn’t a problem for us. We rented a pontoon boat & tube at the nearby marina on Fontana lake & thoroughly enjoyed it.
We can’t wait to go back!
The property itself is located in a very remote location- didn’t realize how remote… not a problem for most, just something to be aware of.
The property itself felt unmaintained - lots of spider webs on the porches (killed a few), toilets had hard water stains, strong campfire smoke smell inside the house (which, is partially expected because there’s a fireplace inside the house), and the master shower head was broken. The upstair bedroom with two beds were so noisy. Not all of the beds had mattress covers. Overall the property has potential, just needs some attention.

Sam was incredibly helpful and prompt to respond with any concerns.
This cabin has everything needed. Setting is very private.
Had to get used to small, winding mountain roads but GPS got us in & out with no problem. Hot tub is great! Used everyday after hiking! Dogs enjoyed the area too! Had internet & streaming Smart TV. Only drawback was service cutting in & out but that may be a "mountain thing" because could not get 5g on phone. Phones did work, though, Very enjoyable stay.

Nice property & quiet. Great communication by property manager.
My husband and I brought our 4 year old granddaughter to spend the weekend and ride the Polar Express in Bryson, NC. The cabin is lovely, view breath taking but drive has some narrow roads! Please arrive before it is dark and it is much better. It is located in the country about 10 miles from the Polar Express. We would come back!!

About the host
Hosted by Sam
I grew up in Florida and would visit North Carolina as a child which is how I picked a place to buy a cabin. I enjoy the quiet and being outdoors. I take pride in my home and I strive to make it a place guests will love as much as me.
Why they chose this property
I like the look of a cabin on the hill. Minimal exposure to neighbors, but not so desolate it would be scary! Also, being close to town and some neat points of interest is a huge plus!
