Perfect GSMNP Getaway

Had a great time staying at this home. The kitchen had everything we needed and the hot tub was perfect. The location was an ideal jumping off point for visiting the national park and very close to restaurants in Bryson City (there was also a grocery store very close).

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was great. Very convenient location. Our grandkids enjoyed the hot tub. One bedroom unfortunately had either ants or termites crawling in from the ceiling, but the rental agency sent someone out to spray and that appeared to solve the problem. We recommend this house to others
