Exactly what we were looking for!

We were having a girl’s weekend and were looking for a wooded cabin that was still close to good food and this is the perfect place! Had to take off for some leaves in the made bed when we got there but otherwise this cabin was truly perfect. It had everything you can think of in the kitchen and only mins away from the Deep Creek trailhead.

Weekend getaway

We came to Bryson City for the first time to trout fish and ride the train. We had a great time doing both. Usually, we are ready to go home, however our cabin was so cozy that we were wishing we could stay longer. The check in/out process was so easy, cabin was clean and neat. We had a visitor the day we arrived, that stole the dog food from the porch, (we found the empty bag in the driveway), but we still had a great time and can’t wait to come back again.

Property was nice but a few improvements needed. Outside table and chairs at fire pit are falling apart and need to be replaced, cannot be sat in. Lights around bench at fire pit did not work. Screen porch had spider webs that needed to be removed.

Weekend Getaway

What a great place to stay if you can't find a place right in town; the drive into Bryson City only took about 5 minutes. The accommodations were great though we were a little unprepared for the steepness of the driveway - not that it was a big problem getting into. Loved the setup of the house - Jack and Jill shower was separate from the half baths located in each room which was convenient. Washer and dryer located right in front of the shower which I thought was a perfect place, The coffee maker was broken but management replaced it right away with a brand new one - I appreciated the quick response. The house was also clean and welcoming. As a surprise bonus, it's also located less than 5 minutes from the entrance to Deep Creek, a beautiful spot in the GSMNP, of which I was unaware at the time of booking. Bring your tubes and float down that river, or take the short hike to the waterfall. We really enjoyed our stay . . . great place for 3 adults and 2 kids under age 10! I would definitely stay here again.

Electrical issues

Cabin is very appealing in many ways and just as pictured, location is very good too. Unfortunately, cannot recommend unless you can verify that electrical issues have been addressed. Upon check-in we turned on the new stove and soon discovered that the old outlet it was plugged into was inadequate, and the stove simply would not work. This was a Friday evening when we were looking forward to making dinner, so very unfortunate. Maintenance crew did deliver us a counter-top convection oven late that night. We checked out Sunday morning and never heard anything more from management despite multiple requests for a call-back. Also, there is an extremely bright light on the ceiling of the shared shower/laundry room that is not controlled by any switch - can only be turned off at the breaker panel which is in the bedroom with bunk-beds. Unfortunately turning it off at the breaker also cuts the electric to the private half-baths in both bedrooms. But leaving it on means light will sleep into both bedrooms around sliding doors. Would recommend this cabin if you can confirm electric has been upgraded, but not otherwise.

Response from VrboOwner on 27 October 2021
Hi Greg, Thank you so much for sharing your review! The electric at the cabin absolutely is in working order, and we did want to clarify that It was not an old outlet that was the problem with the stove, but the actual power connection on the stove itself. We are happy to share that it has been replaced by and it is no longer any issue! Also, the light in the laundry room is controlled by a pull string on the fan that was yanked out by the previous guest before you and that also had to be replaced. The breaker turn off was just used as a temporary solution to use the light for your visit until it was able to be replaced and is definitely not the way the light fixture is set up. Thank you again for sharing your review and we are thrilled to share that everything has been fixed and works great for future visitors!

Deep Creek Vacation

We are so happy to have found this cabin so close to Deep Creek. Perfect location to kick back and relax. Tubing and picnic at Deep Creek was a blast for our 5 yo. House is perfect fit for our little family and had everything we needed for the week. Can’t wait to book this cabin again for our next visit!
