  a guest from Aiken, SC recommends this vacation rental

  It was great. The cabin was described perfectly, was clean and well maintained. We would recommend this property to anyone looking. We visited the GSMR and took our kids on the Polar Express Train ride. WE had a wonderful mini vacation. The only thing I would recommend is update eh mattresses on the beds. that is why I only gave the general condition a 4 star. Other than that, it was excellent.

  Our stay was very pleasant. We enjoyed the lodge. It was clean and well kept. Close to the GSMR but out far enough to be secluded. Nothing on the stay, but be aware cell service may be spotty, and no WiFi.

  a guest from Nicholls, GA does not recommend this vacation rental.

  The cabin was good. plenty of room for our bunch. We would have loved to have some Cable and internet for the rainy evenings but made do and had some fun. Simple yard maintenance would have changed our overall perspective on the property. The crab apple tree was blocking the walkway, Grass was overgrown and mowed the last day of our stay, the garage wasn't lockable so the place wasn't secure. Some of the plants along the creek could have been trimmed to make it viewable... It looks like someone lost their passion for the place and it is just a "get by". The sad part is that it could be awesome!

  Large, well-maintained home on a beautiful large lot. Top-notch furnishings and accessories! Peaceful outdoor setting with large front porch and back deck. Property has lots of plants and trees, and a running brook behind the house. I rate this property with an A+ and the management company in Bryson City is very professional and helpful. My family and I hope to return at a later date this year!

  a guest from Clinton, NC recommends this vacation rental

  The house is located relatively close to Bryson City and is a cute place. The house was cute and cozy. The porch swings were a nice place to relax. We had a little trouble getting the gas fireplace working but finally figured it out. The property contact did offer to get a service tech out there but we figured by the time that happened we would be on our way home. We did have an issue with some dirty linens in one bathroom and trash in one bedroom closet. Over all we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this location to others. CJ's and Anthony's are both great places to eat!

  It could have been better. Not impressed with cleanliness. Carpet in bath room. Utensils could have been much cleaner. You can not have a big Tree blocking your only steps to house entry . AC filter has not been changed for a while which we could sense

  Stayed with family. Enjoyed dining, the train, the casino, and scenery. Saw a huge male Elk on the way to Cherokee. Mountain steam runs beside the cabin, and loved listening to it on back, and front porches.

  a guest from Ripley, TN recommends this vacation rental

  It's a lovely spot, very secluded though cabin sits very close to the road. Takes about 20 minutes to get into town. Living space was comfortable and kitchen well equipped but there were a couple of issues: the trundle bed in the children's room was very uncomfortable with hard bars across the mattress. It was pretty unusable - we had to pad it with everything we could find to make it comfortable enough for our granddaughter; unfortunately the dryer was broken and we had to manage most of the time without a dryer; the banister on the top level was shaky and broken, which we had to ensure kids didn't touch/lean against. We enjoyed the front porch and the rocking chairs. Getting in late at night from the drive requires flashlights. The management company was very helpful and responsive to our questions and needs.
