The kitchen was spacious and fully stocked with all the cooking utensils and tools you could need. We enjoyed a great mix of preparing meals at the house and dining in town.

10/10 Excellent
"This place was an absolute refuge. It was quite cozy and very comfortable. It was an easy walk (about a 1/4 mile) to downtown Bryson City. So many things are within walking distance including the Smokey Mountain RailRoad. We did not take advantage of the hot tub or the fire pit of which I really wanted to use but we were always to tired by the time we got back to the house. Everything was set up nicely and very relaxing. We will be back!"
