Beautifully decorated and peaceful place. Just the quietness needed for reconnection with my inner self and my friend. Great meditation spot. Hot tub was nice. Bed was comfy. And the view was beautiful. The only suggestion I would make is to make sure your sheets fit better, the bottom sheet would NOT stay on. And may be provide a little more coffee supplies. Other than that a wonderful experience and the cabin is beautiful.

Bryson city vacation

Took a few days to enjoy Bryson City. Location was exactly what we were looking for. Cabin was clean. Had almost everything you could ask for. Could use some upgrades to the towels and some for the hot tub. One complaint is the noisy refrigerator. Overall a great stay.

My Mountain Retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was exactly what I was looking for. Minutes away from town but yet secluded enough to have the mountain experience that I was hoping for. The house was amazing. Very modern with the feel of a log cabin. I enjoyed all of the homes amenities including the jacuzzi. I would recommend this location to anyone and I would stay there again in the future.

Need to update the directions. The cabin was clean and well maintained. And the staff was very helpful answering any questions we had. Would stay there again.

Stay away

We have stayed at properties across many states. This was by far the worst experience we have had. I am not sure if it is the owner, property manager or a combination of the two. The property manager does not respond to messages through VRBO don’t waste your time contacting them that way. It felt like the owner did not want to spend money to maintain the property. They’re, I’m sure, happy to get the rental income. The property has the foundation to be very nice. It was just worn. I would have been fine with some of the wear issues. One reason we booked the property was it was supposed to have a washer and dryer. There was a washer and dryer. They were all beat up and in poor condition. The washer did not work and had standing water in the unit. We ended up having to pay to have laundry done at the laundromat. The sliding glass door did not have a functioning lock. The bathroom door off the living area did not latch. There’s no toilet paper holder in the bathroom off the master suite. The hand soap dispenses were empty. I assume they are supposed to fill these as the containers for cotton swabs and qtips were filled. The worst was the bed in the master suite. We stripped the bedding as we were leaving to find the mattress as a large stain that appeared to be urine. It was DISGUSTING. We were very disappointed and will not come back. We’ve been to Bryson City before there are better maintained properties available.

Nice relaxing getaway

We really enjoyed our stay! The location was private, quiet, and perfect to relax and unwind. We loved how the porch over the hot-tub was covered so even on a rainy day, you can enjoy it! Very clean, nicely decorated place that is very comfortable. Fully stocked kitchen was delightful. Washer and dryer was convenient as well!Directions there were accurate. Keep in mind, before getting there, the road becomes windy and narrow then turns into gravel for a short distance before the hill. As stated, the driveway up to it is very steep gravel so make sure you have all wheel drive and are comfortable with it.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our time at the cabin was amazing! We enjoyed every bit of it. The only things that needed to be fixed was the sliding door not locking, the fridge making a funny sound, & the hot tub didn’t get very hot. But otherwise we had a great time.
