Good life cabin 2 · Bryson City cabin with hot tub and fire pit
A private road leads to a two bedroom, cozy log cabin near Bryson City, NC. Hot tub and fire pit outside for enjoying the evening. Gas Weber grill for making dinner. Rocking chairs on the front porch to breath in fresh mountain air while under cover. WiFi speeds around 40mbps. Enjoy complimentary firewood, just be sure to bring your own tinder to get it going.
Guests have access to a private fire pit and private hot tub. We keep a stock of seasoned firewood for your enjoyment. Outdoor gas grill is available for use. Washer and Dryer in the unit.
The road to the cabin is paved all the way with the exception of a few potholes. I have driven my lowered Corvette there. In the winter months 4 wheel drive is recommended as the hills are steep.
We are available to address guests concerns through email and text. We have easy check in/out which does not require waiting on anyone.
We enjoy interacting with our guests. We want to provide a great value more than anything. We work with some great Bryson City locals to ensure the cabin is clean. By renting this cabin you are helping the local community that is such a hidden gem.

WILDLIFE AND INSECTS - Please be aware that this region is home to a variety of wildlife, including bears, large cats, and common seasonal insects like stink bugs and lady bugs. While encounters with large wildlife are rare, it's important to remain cautious, especially when outdoors—never leave food or trash unattended, and always secure doors and windows.
During the fall and winter months, lady bugs can become particularly prevalent. Despite our use of professional pest control services, their persistence and the many access points around the property can still result in noticeable activity indoors. This is a widespread and normal occurrence in this part of the country. Stink bugs may also appear seasonally, though they are generally harmless.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in keeping both guests and local wildlife safe.
WELL WATER - Please note that this property uses well water, not city water. Because of this, water usage must be limited.
Avoid running hoses or using large amounts of water for extended periods, as this can risk running the well dry—a situation that is costly to resolve. Guests may be held responsible for any damage or expenses caused by excessive water use.
We appreciate your help in conserving this valuable resource.
FIREWOOD - We do our best to provide firewood for your use. However, please note that the wood may sometimes be damp or difficult to ignite. We recommend bringing your own kindling or fire starters to help get your fire going more easily.
Please also be aware that county burn bans may be in effect during certain times of the year. It is your responsibility to check current restrictions and comply with all local fire safety regulations.
PET FEE - Pet fee of $100 per stay. Must be 25 or older to rent No Parties No Smoking No Exceptions

It is your responsibility for all debris, rubbish and discards are placed in plastic bags and transferred to the trash receptacles located next to the cabin, and soiled dishes and cooking utensils are washed and cleaned. Linens, blankets, pillows, bedspreads, comforters and towels are provided. It is standard for beds to be made for Guests arrival (except pull out couches not fully made) as part of the linen and cleaning service. The unit is provided with a starter set of toilet paper & paper towels. Managers do not guarantee that these extra items will always be available and guests may need to replenish their own paper goods, toiletries, & dish detergent, etc.
CONDITION OF PROPERTY: Managers have, to the best of their ability, given an accurate description of the property and it’s condition. Guest understands that it is considered as reserved "sight unseen". Our cleaning staff will have cleaned it before your occupancy. All electrical, plumbing and appliances should be in working order. The failures of operation of certain extra amenities, such as TVs, cable, or the Internet and WiFi service are not a basis for any refund. Manager will make every effort to have these items repaired but does not guarantee that they will be repaired during Guests occupancy. When you arrive, if you find that the house has not been cleaned to normal standards please notify the Manager immediately. We will do our best to have tradesmen attend to any issues. The Guest agrees to hold the Manager harmless from any liability for the condition of the house. Due to the nature of cabin properties, the stairs, decks and concrete are not always stable. Use at your own risk.
CLEANING & REPAIRS: All units have cleaning included in the total rent. Please note that cleaning does not include dishes & cooking utensils. If additional cleaning is required after you leave, it will be charged to your credit card. Guest agrees to keep the house, furniture and furnishings in good order. Removing, adding or changing furniture without Manager’s written approval shall be deemed a material breach of this Rental Agreement, and is strictly prohibited. Guests are responsible for the cost of replacement of any damage to furniture or premises and replacement of missing items. Under no circumstances can any furnishing or linen be taken outside of the cabin.
ENTRY OF PREMISES: With Guest’s permission, which is hereby given, Manager or Manager’s representative may enter the premises during reasonable daylight hours without securing prior permission from Guest, but shall give Guest notice of such entry immediately prior if possible and immediately thereafter. For inventory and maintenance purposes a property management employee of the Manager may need to enter the premises. The same permission procedure applies as above. In any emergency, Manager or Manager’s servicing agents may enter the premises at any time without permission of Guest for the purposes of making repairs to alleviate such emergency.
ASSUMPTION OF RISK: No lifeguard may be on duty. Accordingly, persons using the pool or hot tub do so at their own risk and the Manager assumes no responsibility for accident or injury. No one should swim alone. Renters will hold the Managers harmless from any and all bodily injury and/or property damage incurred on the property arising out of Renters' negligent acts or omissions.
CHILD PROOFING: Guest understands that no special efforts have been made to “childproof” this house, and accept the risk or harm to any children we allow on the property.

FURNITURE: All furniture must be returned to its original location on Guest's departure or an additional charge will be made.
MISSING ITEMS - Renters will be charged for any missing items reasonably attributable to Renters and not returned after notification.
