The location was a great base camp for our adventure in the region. Communication with the host was timely and helpful and the house was comfortableWe didn’t have time to use all the amenities , but we loved the location and the easy access to food and the Smoky Mountains!

We were very happy to host you and are so glad you enjoyed your time at our place!
This place was an absolute refuge. It was quite cozy and very comfortable. It was an easy walk (about a 1/4 mile) to downtown Bryson City. So many things are within walking distance including the Smokey Mountain RailRoad. We did not take advantage of the hot tub or the fire pit of which I really wanted to use but we were always to tired by the time we got back to the house. Everything was set up nicely and very relaxing. We will be back!

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! We blocked a few days next month so we can enjoy this place as well. Just love the house and the location! Thank you for being such great guests!
Had some hiccups but the host was quick to take care of even in the middle of the night. My only complaint is the comfort of the beds. My husband and I had to sleep on trunnels in the living room which were good but also double as couches and that was not comfortable. Neighborhood looks very shady but it was actually quiet and no issues at all.

Thank you so much for leaving our place in such good condition. We spoke several times during your stay and I feel it is important to clear up the bed situation. We have an extraordinary 4 poster king bed in the main bedroom but you told us you were too short to use it, even though it is regular height off the floor. The queen bed in the second bedroom is also a very comfortable bed. We offered to have you stay at our other nearby property at no additional charge, which also has a very comfortable king bed, but you said you were comfortable staying where you were. The beds you ultimately slept in are brand new and our family members presonally stayed on them last month and loved the comfort. So sorry that with so many options you couldnt get comfortable, but good bedding is so important to good hosting and we pride ourselves on making sure our guests get a great night sleep!
We stayed for a week and spent most of our time hiking in the Smoky Mountains National Park. We had a wonderful stay at this house in Bryson. It had everything we needed and is conveniently close to the park. It's also close to downtown Bryson, so we walked to dinner a few nights. Check-In was easy and our host was very responsive. Thanks much!

Ty, Thank you for staying with us and for your 5 star review. We also love the location being so close to the Smoky Mountain Railroad and downtown in general. We look forward to your return!
The house was older but very clean and comfortable. It is convenient to town and the Polar Express. It was very cold when we were there and it was nice to come back to a cozy spot. We enjoyed our stay!

Thank you for staying with us and keeping the house in such great condition. We love that you can walk to the polar express and downtown in minutes and are glad you appreciated that as well. You are welcome back anytime.
House was extremely clean & location was very convenient. Only thing I would recommend is some better landscaping & owner should provide more toilet paper & paper towels.

So glad you enjoyed the cleanliness and location of the house. I apoligize for the landscaping but it had been extremely rainy and the grass needs to be dry in order to be cut. As for additional supplies,thank you for letting us know you couldnt find them. Our staff leaves extra paper towels under the kitchen sink and toilet paper in the cabinets in the bathroom. They will add this information to the welcome letter.
We spent 6 days at this lovely home and enjoyed the relaxed setting. Quiet location and just a short walk to Bryson City's main street and train station. So many sights to see in the area plus a very comfortable and Cozy home!
