We loved staying in this tiny home on the river. It was perfect for our quick mountain getaway. Loved having coffee on the porch overlooking the river and watching the wildlife. Close to every thing in town!!
Bed has fresh pee stains on the mattress that we discovered on our last day when taking the sheets off the bed as instructed. Floors were dirty and needed a good mopping. We did advise management of these conditions, hopefully they addressed this with their cleaning people and no one else has to experience this.Other than that the place was beautiful and exactly as advertised.

Thank you for taking the time to share your review and for your kind words about the property's design and beauty.
We are sincerely sorry for the issues you encountered with the mattress and the floors during your stay. Cleanliness is our absolute top priority, and discovering conditions like these is completely unacceptable to us. As soon as you brought this to our attention, we immediately took action to replace the affected bedding/mattress and conducted a full audit with our cleaning crew to ensure our strict hygiene standards are rigorously enforced moving forward.
We genuinely appreciate your direct feedback and your patience, as it helps us maintain the quality our guests deserve. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for the flawless, spotless experience you should have had from start to finish.
The place was so nice. Who knew you could have everything you needed in a home this size? Loved the ship lap walls and vaulted ceilings. The decor was beautiful! The deck by the river was so relaxing. We will definitely stay here again!
Beautiful tiny home with gorgeous views of the river. Space was very clean and welcoming. Make sure to bring your own coffee and Kleenex. Despite a couple of hiccups checking in, property management was quick to respond and very friendly.
We loved this property so much that we've already booked our next trip. This location is scenic but within walking distance of almost everything in Bryson City. It was so cleaned and well- maintained. We felt secluded but safe. The decor was wonderful. Great communication. Easy check in and out. We'll be back in October!
