Enjoyable

This was a short weekend get-away with long-time friends and served our purposes. Kitchen is very well stocked--refreshing from other VRBOs we've stayed at. Beds very comfortable. Front room was warm due to no AC in that area, but if you put the AC down and left bedroom doors open, it cooled pretty quickly. My friend and I enjoyed sitting on the swing facing the river. It's a great place for catching up after dinner or talking about your plans for the day with coffee in the morning. Location is nice -- close to Bryson City and outdoor recreation activities. Neighbors friendly. Road traffic was a bit loud, but not too disruptive. We really only had 3 "complaints". 1. It sleeps 6 and we had 4 adults yet we could not all sit in livingroom to talk because there was only a sofa and one chair in that space. Kitchen table & 4 chairs was not a comfortable option to watch a movie together or just to chat. We adjusted but not ideal for 6 people to sit together to enjoy each other's company. 2. Top and lower deck sitting space was not cleaned up & full of cobwebs. Would have been nice to have that swept & cobweb free to enjoy more time there as we grilled. 3. Cabin is smaller than photos imply, but clean. Tight fit if you have 6. Host was very responsive. Did not use rec area. Instructions to strip our beds & start laundry with sheets & towels left a poor last impression. Don't mind stripping beds, but doing laundry should be covered by cleaning fee.
