Nice stay near Bryson City. The views are truly Ahh-mazing. The fridge was throwing an error code throughout our stay (error code for ice maker which they did have ice trays available in the freezer) and there was rotted wood with nails sticking out near the hot tub. The sheets felt old (at least 10 years old) or very used (not crisp). I'd stay here again, but I'm not sure if the price matched the cabin other than the views which were truly breath taking.
The cabin is clean and well furnished. The view was amazing. The listing should state there is no internet at this cabin. Wish I would have known that as it would have deterred me from booking this cabin. Also, there is no view from the fire pit as trees obstruct the view.
