This home is absolutely beautiful and the view is amazing!!! High-end furniture and rustic accents create a luxury feel to the home. We only used the main floor as it was only my husband and myself, but there is a full basement downstairs with a bar, sitting area, 2 bedrooms, and full bathroom. The deck is expansive and very comfortable. There is a hot tub and tv on the deck. The house was extremely clean and comfortable, and the road up to the house is paved and easy to drive. Bryson City is about 15 minutes away. My husband and I will be back!!! ##### Debra H.
