Great Location and Great Cabin

We normally don't leave reviews after stays, but this place warrants one. It is a great location, super convenient to town yet you still feel like you're in the mountains the way it is cited. The cabin was very clean, and extremely comfortable for our family. It makes a perfect base camp for daily excursions, and it will definitely top our list for future stays.

Exactly what we were looking for!

The cabin was spotless upon arrival and the location was exactly as described-very convenient to town. The cabin was private but not remote. The hot tub and fire pit were great and we loved viewing the stars on a clear night. The beds were very comfortable. This cabin was everything we were looking for and we would definitely stay again. Kelly was a great host and communicated promptly and clearly. Thank you for such a lovely place to escape!

Polar Express Trip

They cabin was great. Had all the amenities needed and even more. The location was perfect. It was just a couple minutes out of town, which was far enough to feel like you are in a cabin in the woods but still close enough to be useful for shopping downtown.

Annual Polar Express Train Ride

We came for our 6th annual polar express train ride as a family of four … the cabin was beautiful and secluded but not isolated. It was perfect for our trip and we enjoyed it immensely!! Short trip to town for needed items but also could not hear the traffic noise. We will be back :)

Five Stars

We have visited Bryson City every fall for the last 6 years. We have rented a different cabin each time. This was by far the best cabin we have stayed in. It was immaculately clean, perfect location, everything we needed for our stay was provided! The beds and linens were super comfortable! The hot tub was perfect on the cool nights. The fire pit was a bonus and our son loved making smores! We could not have asked for a better experience! We will be back!!

What a great cabin in an amazing location just off the main roads of Bryson City. This secluded cabin had everything provided that you would need for your trip. The hot tub was extremely nice on cool nights. We would highly recommend this cabin to anyone and will definitely return in the future. The host was very prompt with all correspondence.

Amazing cabin! Couldn’t believe how well-provisioned and beautifully appointed it was! This was the best cabin we’ve ever stayed at in the 20+ years of coming to the Smokies. So private, yet close to the adorable downtown and the national park! Can’t wait to stay here again!!!!!!!

I’d give this 10 stars if I could…

Great base for my husband and I to explore the Smoky Mountains. 5-minute drive to the cute town of Bryson City with restaurants and a few shops. It’s walkable but you’ll have a steep hill coming home. Absolutely fantastic property where you feel like you’re in the woods. Extremely clean and the extras like little shampoo, shower gels, spices, K-cups, etc. were above and beyond—and greatly appreciated. Can’t wait to get back there soon for more R&R!

Perfect Cabin, Birthday Getaway!

From the moment I drove up, I was impressed with this cabin and grounds. Once I opened the door to the cabin, I felt at home with the decorations, and it was stocked with everything you needed. The beds are absolutely amazing. The shower heads are awesome. You do not want to get out of the shower. The hot tub and fire pit speak for themselves. Location is just an extra bonus...close to everything! I will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Kelly and Chris

Host profile image
Hi everyone! My name is Kelly and I am from sunny Tampa Bay, FL. And although I love living in the sunshine state, every once in a while my family and I need a break from the hustle and bustle of suburban life. When we need some fresh mountain air, beautiful wilderness and some time to breathe, we head up to our cabin.

There are few places more majestic than the Great Smoky Mountains, or the quaint and cozy town of Bryson City. Between the day-to-day grind and our kids' endless activities, it's nice to have someplace to go to unplug and re-set.

We love visiting Bryson City and would be there all of the time if we could! In the meantime, my family and I are happy to share our little slice of heaven with you and yours. We hope that you enjoy it just as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Bryson City is a charming small town that truly has it all. Nestled in the beautiful Smoky mountains, the walkable downtown area is sprinkled with quaint shops and restaurants. It is also home to the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, which hosts different events and themed rides throughout the year. There is also a farmer's market, a small aquarium, and a fly fishing museum. There are three breweries in town, and a winery just a few miles from there. And for those who enjoy the nightlife, Harrah's Cherokee casino is located in the neighboring town of Cherokee.

Outdoor activities are endless in Bryson city. Where do I start? Surrounded by lakes, rivers, creeks and mountain trails, the possibilities of how you can spend your outdoor time are practically limitless. You can choose from hiking, biking, ATVing, fishing, boating, kayaking, canoeing, tubing, white water rafting, swimming, horseback riding, zip lining, elk viewing, golfing, skiing and snow tubing. Also, the Road to Nowhere is worth a visit (especially at night if you're very brave), and the Blue Ridge Parkway is one of the most famous scenic drives in the US.

What makes this property unique

When your day of exploring downtown, riding on the train, taking scenic drives, fishing, hiking, tubing or whatever you decided to do is winding down, you get to go back and relax at the cabin. The home is sweet and cozy, especially with the fireplace lit. Feel free to have Alexa play your favorite music on the Echo Show while you take some time to relax. Don't forget to cook s'mores down at the fire pit, especially if you have little ones, because they always love that. And last but not least, make sure you enjoy some time in the hot tub. Personally, I find it best in the evening after all of your fun activities for the day are done.
