The location was perfect with an amazing view! The drive up the mountain is not for the faint at heart but the location is quiet and private. The cabin was well suited for our group including two younger children ages 7 and 10. We were close to all the activities we wanted to do and enjoyed our stay!
A beautiful well furnished and supplied cabin with big rear deck. Amazing view of sunsets and just relaxing. As others have mentioned, you have to travel on a gravel road with curves and steep sections which is scary the first time. Perfect location for enjoying Bryson City activities. Highly recommend. Would stay there again.
The property is beautiful and well stocked. We LOVED the surprisingly private view and enjoyed the wildlife that came along including wild turkeys... I would give this cabin a 5 of 5 easily! The only thing to be aware of is the drive from the main road once you are close is a little long and steep, but most of us realize that is the case for any cabin with a great view typically! Scared drivers (like one relative we had) just need to know to keep going and the road is fine. We were able to get regular cars up to the cabin with no issues.
I visited Bryson city with my husband and best friends for a weekend. This cabin was absolutely perfect! The view out the back is breathtaking. It was a little bit of an adventure just finding the place. Itâs a bit tricky getting there. You have to drive up narrow gravel roads up a mountain. But it was worth it. Make sure to bring food with you because itâs not very convenient to come and go. The kitchen is well stocked. We had such a relaxing time and are already planning our next trip
Renting was easy and check in good. The drive up to the property was tricky- needs to be in listing. Probably would have changed where we stayed. Very cozy cabin though, clean and stocked with necessities. If you arenât an early riser, then donât stay here, as there are no curtains on the basement windows or master main window. Flood lights on/off all Night with animals and shines right into windows. Sun coming up I er mountains wakes you up early. Otherwise, great stay.
Great Cabin, Good View, though it was raining a lot while we were there. I am sure the family that owns the cabin loves to come up to it whenever they can. It is very nice and most people would be happy with the place.
I went down their Dawson Creek trail. Loved the little sign on the rock pointing out that it was this way. The trail gets steep at the end, so wear good shoes. The creek is fine but you can only see it through the bushes unless you bushwack.
Drive instructions could be better out Bryon City
Coming out of Bryson City, you pass a lake on the right. When you see two brick columns, and then a street on your left you are almost to the Black Forest gate. On the gravel road, the two sharp curves in their direction are concrete so you go over them before you get to the cabin. Most of the gravel road is in good condition, but sometimes trucks on the road put big ruts and bumps in places. The other driver in our party couldn't get around them in a regular Honda CRV. I didn't have a problem with another regular car.
The view was absolutely amazing from the porch! We plan to stay again! The house was stocked with everything you need and decorated very nice. Our kids had a blast taking the trail down to the creek from the cabin. We made smores by the fire pit, played Cornhole supplied by the host, and watched the gorgeous sunset with a beer and glass of wine. Need to pay attention on the drive up but after the first time it gets easier. Definitely worth it for the view. We tried to carry our trash to the dump as mentioned but it is closed on the weekend. Would highly recommend this cabin.
Property had everything we needed +++! Lots of glasses, coffee cups, etc. Beautiful views!! We used the fire pit and the walking trails. Grandchildren loved both and they loved the hook and ring toss on each of the porches. Iâm a scaredy-cat on mountain roads if someone else is driving and drive up is intimidating. Husband let me drive!!đ€Ł
We loved the cabin. It was prefect for our family. It had everything we needed to make our vacation perfect. The evening sunset was out of this world! the view was amazing as this was our first time seeing the fall colors. hope to stay here again!
Was a beautiful place, clean and sucluded, peaceful and great view. We had to leave a couple days early due to a death in the family. Will definitely rent again if available.
We enjoyed staying in this beautiful cabin, great views, corn hole, and good lodging for teens and young adults in our family, with mom and dad an entire floor to ourselves.
Exceptional view and overall a nice property. Could be cleaner, maybe a lot cleaner and updates to the pots/pans. Would stay again though for sure. 15 minutes to Bryson and 25 minutes to the NOC. Great fire pit.
My husband and I fell in love with the Western North Carolina Mountains over 10 years ago. We hoped to one day retire and build a log cabin in this area. In 2004, Hurricane Katrina devestated our town and we were out of our house for months. It was then, we decided to start building our DREAM cabin. The cabin is now a 'safe haven' for us from hurricanes!! We have put much time, effort and love into building our dream and now would like to share it with you.
My husband and I enjoy being outdoors. We first came to this area to go mountain biking at Tsali. Once we realized how many endless things there were to do in this area or within a short drive, we knew we wanted to build our log cabin here. This is the perfect family destination and we look forward to making memories here with our 2 children.
There are numberous quaint little towns surrounding Bryson City- Cherokee, Franklin, Cashiers, Highlands, Dillsboro, Sylva and Ashville. We have really enjoyed exploring each town and getting to know the local people.
