Great location!

Beautiful property to stay at. We enjoyed Going to “The Road to Nowhere” and Deep Creek tubing. Everything we wanted to do was within a 20 minute drive. The driveway is very steep to get up, but we adapted to it quickly. The view from the porch is spectacular.

Overall this was a nice place to stay. Amenities were nice. The inside was clean and had everything needed for our stay. The outside of the property needs a little TLC and upgrades. We would stay there again if we were planning another trip to the area.

Coming apart/ dirty

Great location, rental company was nice. The cabin itself had roaches, looked like the ceiling was falling in, tore up lawn furniture, pictures showed none of this.

Lovely home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great view, great location, wonderful hot tub. Would stay here again. While there is a general warning about this being a mountain home, the driveway is very steep and if I had been driving my manual transmission would have struggled with the driveway.

Overall a great stay

Initially they failed to send me the check in details, but after a quick call I got it, and we were unable to access the wifi at any point. Overall, they stay was quite peaceful and nice. It is near a fairly busy road, so it is not a perfect nature getaway. Other than that, everything was as advertised and a great time.

Weekend Getaway

Overall the property was nice. Great open space and the fireplace was a hit. Beautiful view BUT THE getting up there was a challenge. The hot tub was a bonus but probably should put up some sorta gate around the edge of the area...in the dark you could take a serious tumble down a giant hill. Showers were less than desirable; the master shower was like a shoe box and the downstairs shower head was almost not useable. Beautiful home just keep up with the maintenance.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay. The cabin was close enough to town to be convenient to all stores, but far enough from town to make it appear you were in the middle of nowhere. Very peaceful and restful! Enjoyed the deck and view off of it very much!Overall, very very very nice! No complaints!

Review

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved the location. Tucked away but just down the street you are in town. Felt it could have been cleaner. We arrived and started checking things out and there was a roach in the kitchen. The tub in the bathroom had mold and gunk all underneath the overflow drain, the hot tub could have been cleaner. It felt like someone had dumped sand in it and I think this is the first time I have been in a hot tub that you didn’t smell any chlorine or anything.

Our Family Bryson City Chose.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our second time at Black Bear Crossing. My family and I come for a family reunion and it is the perfect location for us. It is minutes away from tubing and the national park. Central is located to Cherokee and other attractions. We enjoy sitting on the deck and looking at the beautiful view. This trip I had my younger ages 4-19 and they loved the home. The only problem we had that the AC in the upper level went out for a day and half and we congregated in the lower level to sleep due to how hot it was. Someone did come out and fixed it while we went out. Coming from flat land you must be able to drive up the steep driveway and make a quick turn into the drive, make sure you watch for the rocks on your right side. By the end of the second trip I learned how to back out to the road without going over the hill. It is a lovely place for families and we plan on coming again next year. And watch out for the Black Bears!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great view and very close to town. Driveway was really steep and there was not as much room for cars as I was expecting. The jacuzzi jets were not working well and the lights didn't turn on so we didn't use it. The downstairs shower had little to no water pressure. The dryer was not working properly so the clothes that were washed never got dry. The lights going outside to the firepit were very dim. There was a few dead spiders on one of the down stairs bed.
