We rented this cabin as a family vacation for myself, my husband, our teenage son, and some of our adult children. There was a total of six of us. Our plans were to spend family time together and take a train ride from Bryson City. I found the host of this property to be easy to contact and very helpful. Some of our plans changed after booking and the host kindly accommodated our changes. The property is perfectly located. It truly feels private and tucked away, but easy to access with a good, paved road. The cabin was clean, with a good floor plan, and comfortable beds. There is a hot tub located on a covered deck. That was nice because we got rain and were still able to use it. The hot tub is well-maintained and very nice. We utilized the fire pit down the hill and had great family time making s’mores, laughing, and reminiscing. That was one of those nights where I realized our trip was exactly how I wanted it to be. The Great Smoky Mountain train station in Bryson City was about 30 minutes drive from the cabin. Not bad. We were able to come and go several times to visit Bryson City, Cherokee, and do some local hiking, without worrying about the drive being too far or too troublesome. Nothing is ten minutes away, but there are things to do if you’re willing to drive 20 minutes away. We saw lots of places with tubing rentals and rafting, and some of us may visit again and do that. If we do, we would definitely consider staying here again.
