This was a fishing trip with my brothers and nephew and this place was perfect. Close to town and roads to go anywhere. Fireplace was nice outside and inside. Kitchen was gorgeous and done very well
House is great! Plenty of room. It would be helpful to have a TV and DVD player in LR, so family can interact more while cooking, etc. Safe area with view of railroad tracks.
The house was the perfect set up for our extended family vacation! The layout was great for holding a larger crowd, and was very child friendly! Will absolutely book this house again!
This home was really nice, me and 3 of my good friends take a trip every year. It has plenty of room and we all have our own bathrooms. Really nice getaway. Will definitely book this home again.
We enjoyed our stay at this wonderful home. It was spotless and well stocked with everything needed to enjoy your time there. You can relax and do nothing or be busy doing a different activity everyday. The location is great, a bit secluded but close to most things you’ll want to do. We all had a great time and hope to enjoy another week there in the future.
The property had plenty of space to spread out as a family. The rooms are large and plenty of bathrooms. The covered deck is also great, along with the covered carport.
This was an AMAZING property for our family vacation. Me, my husband, our 2 sons and their wives and our 5 grandchildren ranging in age from 9 months to 10 years old. The host was incredibly responsive to all of my questions. So much to do in Bryson City AND we saw the train pass EVERY DAY from the deck of the house!
We had 3 small families with 3 babies and 2 kids. This cabin was perfect for our needs. It was clean, comfortable and well stocked with linens, kitchen supplies and toys. From a thermostat for each level, to the comfy beds, to the room to play inside and out, we loved it!
This 4 bedroom 4 1/2 bath home was really great. We always take our family on an annual trip for New Years. We had 4 couples so everyone had their own space. There were also gathering spaces on the main level and on the lower level which gave us plenty of room to play games, watch TV, or just watch our grandkids play.
Overall the cabin is much larger and more comfortable than we expected. A great place to unwind each day! The hosts were awesome as well! Very responsive and had an AC issue resolved within a few hours. Can ask for more than that. We will be back!
We traveled to share the same Santa’s Land with our grandkids that their moms enjoyed 25 years earlier. This house was a great home base for our long weekend trip. The grands loved the toy options and the adults loved the house layout and well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed making wonderful memories while at the house, s’mores at the fire pit, walking/sitting several areas provided outdoors, and definitely waving to the passengers coming by on the steam engine train ride that we saw loading up earlier that morning while we visited Bryson City for a delicious breakfast at Everett Street Diner.
All six humans and one dog really enjoyed our stay. We particularly liked the wrap around porch where we spent many early mornings and evenings. Overall the house was very inviting with the two bottom levels being used the most. We enjoyed having no houses in sight and very nice landscaping. Although we were in our own private forest we were five minutes from a very nice grocery store and just beyond, Bryson City which was fun to walk through after a day in the park. In short we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to any moderate sized family group (or group of friends).
Came up for the polar express and cannot say enough about this fabulous place. Perfect accommodations. Kitchen excellently stocked with anything you could need! Such a convenient location. Just seven minutes to downtown Bryson city. The hosts were amazing. Easy to work with. Professional. And quick to respond to any questions. Will definitely return!
We absolutely loved our time at this cabin! The beds were very comfortable and property was spacious. There is only one TV in the basement, but it was great to unplug and spend time with family. Internet worked perfectly and I was able work without any issues. The main amenties that attracted us to this cabin were 1) the limited number of steps to enter the property (my 85 year old mother was with us), 2) pet friendly, 3) step in shower on main floor, 4) internet, 5) 2 king size beds. Will definitely stay again! Thank you for sharing your home.
We rented this property with another family and it was perfect for all of us. Close to town but far enough away to feel removed from the hustle and bustle of Bryson City. The property was clean and well cared for, every bedroom had a private bathroom, kitchen was stocked and has a fabulous fire pit to enjoy outside. Our only suggestions were that they could use a new set of bath towels/hand towels in each bathroom (they were worn and small) and dish towels in the kitchen. A great perk of this property is the train runs by about 3 times each day and the kids LOVED waving to their friends from the porch.
Exceeded all expectations! Beds were all super comfy, house is well stocked, location is convenient to tons of outdoor activities and shopping/ dining. Host was very responsive and easy to work with.
We traveled with kids ranging from 4-11, as well as grandparents. The house accommodated all needs perfectly. We spent a ton of time on the huge porch and enjoyed the large fire pit for hot dogs and s’mores.
Our kids were thrilled to be able to see the GSMR train go by right from the hill above the house. While in viewing distance- the train isn’t intrusive to the property at all.
We look forward to staying here again in the future!
