Best stay ever!

I just want to say that this was the best stay ever. The home was clean and well stock with everything you will need for cooking. But if you are a person that need to sleep with a tv, this is not the place for you no tv in the rooms. But that was the best sleep i eber had. The best part was the porch swing.

Peaceful and Beautiful

The pictures do not do the cabin justice, it is beautiful! It is beautifully decorated. We really enjoyed our stay. The views are amazing on the porch! We sat on the porch drinking coffee and it was so relaxing! It's close to town yet tucked away from everything! Definitely will go again.

Excellent vacation cabin...spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything you need.

This home is by far the most well maintained property with great mountain views that my family has stayed in near Bryson City. It is convenient to shopping and family activities. It’s the perfect family getaway cabin. We’ve stayed at Sunset Ridge multiple times and look forward to the next visit.

We love this cabin. It was our 4th time staying there.

The cabin is always great. We love going into Bryson City and riding the train, hiking to the waterfall’s and the road to nowhere. It’s also close to NOC where we go rafting. We always enjoy our stay. The owners are easy to dealing with.

Beautiful location, lovely house

The cabin is perfectly located. It is secluded, yet a short drive from beautiful hiking trails and downtown Bryson. It is just as pictured: nicely decorated, very clean, well stocked,, and comfortable with lots of outdoor seating on the wrap around porch to relax and take in the views and fresh air. We couldn't be happier with our stay.

A Great Place to Stay

This house was close to Bryson City and secondly to all the great towns in the Smokey Mountains in North Carolina. The property was close to town but also secluded so it was quiet. We enjoyed the grill and the fire pit. The bedrooms were roomy and the beds comfortable. The furniture was nice and the house decorated beautifully. There was only one tv but we didn’t mind that. It gave us a chance to unplug. The WiFi worked fine.

Excellent Cabin & Host

This was our fourth visit to Sunset Ridge which has several unique features. The cabin has always been super clean upon arrival and is convenient to a grocery store. It’s close to Bryson City but tucked away in a secluded cove. We especially enjoy the well appointed and comfortable open floor plan, hanging out on the front porch which has great views of the mountains and the fire pit area which has a charcoal bbq. We love staying in this cabin!

Peacefulness Found

This property was everything stated and more. Even inside the cabin, you still felt a sense of the outdoors. The cabin was decorated beautifully, with more than enough room to move around. It was clean and stocked with everything you would need. I highly recommend this property. I really didnt want to leave.

Awesome cabin

This our second year in a row renting the sunset ridge cabin. The cabin is well equipped. The views are awesome. It’s very close to downtown Bryson City and NOC. We had a great time. My boys really enjoyed whitewater rafting at NOC and the train rides at the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad. Lots of great hiking close to the cabin also. This is definitely a annual trip for us!!!!!

Exactly what we wanted

We loved our stay at Sunset Ridge. The living room was cozy, and we spent a lot of time on the porch. We brought several things from our kitchen that we didn’t need because it was well stocked. The cabin was secluded but close to everything we wanted. We liked Bryson city and would return. It’s a great place

Covid Getaway

Sunset Ridge was just what we were looking for. The property was secluded yet close enough to the park & Bryson City. We enjoyed being able to access the quieter part of the GSMNP & found lots of hiking trails, waterfalls & sites to explore. The space was perfect for our family & we enjoyed relaxing on the porch. The property was clean and well maintained. We hope to return in the future.

Polar Express Getaway

We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Sunset Ridge. The area was secluded yet you had neighbors so you felt safe. The only complaint we had was the outdoor lighting situation under the porch where the hot tub is located. We were two moms with our 8 year old daughters who loved that area. The owner let us know where some flashlights were and it helped. It did not alter our enjoyment of the cabin and if we are ever in this area, we would love to be able to rent this beautiful cabin again. The owner was very quick to respond to any questions I had.

Quiet getaway

This property was great for what we were looking for. It was close enough to go to town and secluded enough to enjoy the cozy cabin. We was hoping to be on top of the mountain but this place sits kind of in the middle. The only suggestion I would make is more comfortable seating around the fire pit. I would suggest to take a chainsaw. There were so many trees that we could have used for fire wood. Of course the were already down. I definitely would not being against staying at this location again.

Just as described

This home exceeded our expectations. It was super clean and had all of the things we needed. There were six of us and we had no problems with space. The only downside might be that you have to haul your own trash, however, it’s roughly a mile from the house. It was super easy to find and wasn’t an inconvenience to us. The property is secluded and private. We were able to enjoy the outside amenities without any concerns. Overall we had a wonder stay and would definitely recommend to others looking to stay in the Bryson City area.

Weekend in Bryson City

The hosts were fantastic and the property and location were perfect! Close to attractions and area restaurants! Contact with the hosts was minimal, that being said, everything the Vrbo is spot on and upon arrival was even better than the post! The home was extremely comfortable and well appointed. You could feel the passion the hosts have taken! We were 4 adults up for the Labor Day weekend to take a Great Smoky Mountains Railroad tour and also go whitewater rafting (bucket list). We all hated to leave but with that said we wanted to return next year! I really don’t have anything negative at all. The gang enjoyed the fun filled weekend in Bryson City. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!

About the host

Hosted by Brenda Booth

Host profile image
We like the best of 2 worlds...the tropics and the mountains. Since we live in Florida, the tropical part is easy. We also love the mountains and it was a dream come true to be able to build our mountain cabin!

Why they chose this property

We have always enjoyed camping in the area of the Smoky Mountains and had the opportunity to purchase this piece of property from my husband's cousin. They also have a cabin they use as a vacation rental which we have stayed in. We fell in love with Bryson City and its proximity to outdoor adventures.

What makes this property unique

It took us a year and half to complete our cabin because we did so much work ourselves with family and friends. There is so much sweat equity here and personal satisfaction. We hope you enjoy our vacation home as much as we hope to!
