It is a pretty small space and really great for one person. Positives are price, clean and good location to the city. Negatives are sofa too small for two normal size people, steps to bathroom and mattress needs replaced. The mattress slumps badly. Steps are not good if you are older to get to bathroom.

It is not possible to please you. Next time book a more expense place that is exactly what you want before hand. I will verify that you do not break the bed frame because the mattress is only around a year old and is a nectar foam mattress medium firm and nobody has complained about it. It is not possible for a foam mattress to be lower on one side!!!! According to several review companies this is the top mattress available. Replace the steps? Just how is that possible? The pictures clearly show steps and there is a hand rail for older folks. The sofa is a 2 person sofa love seat standard size. Again, nothing hidden here all clearly shown in pictures. It is very sad to complain about something that cannot be fixed and is already top quality from name brand companies. You should have booked something that was a fit for you instead of complaining about something you knew ahead of time causing problems for others making an honest hard working living. The rich hotels in the area would love to take your money and ignore your complaints.

Enjoyed the extras

It was an enjoyable stay. The host provided many extras like kpods and coffee beans. The rain shower head was really nice and the quality of the towels way better than a hotel. Many beautiful places to explore while in Bryson City. If you need a place to sleep while on vacation, I recommend this is the right choice!

The unit was great! Had everything we needed, thoughtfully labeled, for ease in locating. Ample parking for our pickup/trailer, though you have to be creative with loading/unloading. This location is central to so much. The Great Smokey Mountains Railroad was right in town, which was a nice suprise! The town is adorable with shopping and several restaurants options. We really enjoyed our stay in Bryson City and having a "home" to relax in after a long days riding....all without the priciness of a hotel in order to have separate living and sleeping areas....hard to find an option this good for this price.Would recommend!

The basement unit is very small. The area is rundown and the view in front is a very old rusty lumber mill. There is no view of the river unless you drive to it. Overall, it is ok for the price, but the pics are a little deceptive.

Response from VrboOwner on 12 September 2025
The old lumber mill is rather historic the pics are pictures no deception and google earth tells you everything you want to know if you are doing your research. We should not be penalized for our neighbors nobody can control that and it is everywhere. A five start Hilton is typically right next to a freeway for gods sack. It is not small compared to any hotel room it is bigger and you get privacy and your own BBQ, fire pit, patio set and parking right out front. It is not OK for the price it is amazing. So much work goes into it and you cannot get a better deal anywhere. We are 5 stars all the way and just .2 miles to town. There is no restaurant by the river either.

Basic accommodations which had all essential elements for a stay. However, there are several issues needing attention. Supplies provided needs closer attention; KitchenPaper towels were lacking with several sheets only. No dish detergent to wash dishes appropriately. Large filtered water receptacle in fridge needed replaced. Instructions for Coffee Unit needs to be posted. Bathroom; Basic products for bath. Drains both tub & sink need drains cleaned. Spray for small water bugs needed. Check out time of 10 a.m. be ready & out OR as guests you will be locked out.Bug s

You are clearly a Karen. Do not book a budget rental and expect an Ivory tower. Drains are clean, coffee maker is standard, water filter is new it just gives a reminder every 3 months, drains cleaned? they drain and are flushed as needed, spray for small bugs? I need to charge triple to afford you. Only several sheets left in the paper towel roller? There is also napkins, towels, kitchen clothes and 2 rolls of TP. It costs money to put a full roll out that is the first thing people take. There is actually a chemical free bug light in the kitchen. 10:00 am check out is standard. You want to stay all day? It will take all day to clean it and stock it to your standards. You should try to host a rental to learn how unreasonable you have been. NOTE TO ALL Karens: PLEASE GO ELSE WHERE!!!!
