Pretty view. Close to town. Close to Deep Creek and Road to Nowhere. A few quirky rental things but nothing big enough to even mention. Driveway took a little getting use to, but we had fun with it.

Beautiful location, wonderful deck!

Fantastic location, super close to town and GSMNP. It is on a somewhat busy road, and the traffic is just frequent enough to remind you of that, but it's not bad. Beautiful deck and view. Main level is perfect for the elderly. The driveway is tricky, steep and a bit intimidating, but I had studied Google Maps and these reviews. Beds were fine. Very well stocked. Washer and dryer are aged and need some attention to make sure dryer is drying. Would definitely stay again.

So cute and close to town

What a beautiful place to stay! So close to town but just far enough to feel secluded. Loved the openness and cooking dinner and then enjoying it out on the deck with the view of the mountains. Will definitely stay here again!

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.

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.

The house is great. Awesome views and close to downtown Bryson City. I feel the listing should specify that use of the garage is not included and that listing it as motorcycle friendly should not be apart of the listing.I rented for those reasons. Getting into the drive way (gravel)on a motorcycle is very difficult. 50 degree incline from a road with debris and wash out left us with about 5,000.00 in damages to 2 fully dressed baggers. I do not recommend coming or going the property at night on a motorcycle . The 2 bikes that went down had female passengers that were thrown off ,thankfully not badly injured. Going down the driveway is also challenging. Not trying to bash anybody but the listing should be clearer with a warning for bikes.

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.

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.

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.

The location was good.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I wanted to like this property and it has the potential to be really nice smells musty, 3 of the doors didn't lock properly, the kitchen was not fully equipped, the railing on one section of the balcony was not secure and the driveway is VERY steep and scary to drive into and out of...I would NOT want to attempt it in any bad weather unless you had 4 wheel drive or chains. The location is really good if you want to overlook everything else. The property management company was wonderful to work with, very personable and professional.

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.
