Other things to note
Downtown Bryson City has an elevation of 1,752 feet, so think of this as a starting point. The majority of the cabins in the area will have a higher elevation than this. This means that these roads will be steeper, narrower, and curvier than you may be use to driving. Also, you should expect to encounter gravel roads. Consider it part of our rural mountain charm!

The last half mile to the cabin has a narrow, gravel road.

There are 2 security cameras on the property. The first one is over the front porch and the second is on the Pond Overlook. They are there for the protection of the property while unoccupied and to monitor the health and safety of the fish in the pond.

Perfect getaway

Great cabin! The view from the back porch is lovely and we really enjoyed the large yard and hot tub. The cabin itself is spacious and well cared for. Kitchen is fully stocked. The trout pond is a great addition. We hope to be back!

Lovely house!

This house is everything it claims to be and more! Super clean and a lot of space to relax including three porches. We appreciated the extra touches throughout and the well-equiped kitchen. The directions to the house were very accurate and helpful! Having everything on one floor, easy-entry access (few steps)and the large, flat backyard was especially nice. The fish pond was fun and sitting on the side porch listening to the creek was so relaxing. This is one house to which you'll want to return!

About the host

Hosted by Jenny and Ryan Burke

We are a mountain loving couple that currently reside in Austin, TX. We visited the Smokies nearly a decade ago and kept gravitating back. We fell completely in love with this property and our family of 5 (plus a doggie) has enjoyed making many new memories at Laurel Lodge. We hope you do the same!

Why they chose this property

This property has it all! The views are gorgeous from the back deck. You can sit outside anywhere on the property and enjoy the sound of rushing water from the creek. Hike a little ways up the property and find a 100-ft waterfall all to yourself! Our kids also love feeding the fish everyday and had a blast exploring all the nature trails around.
