Sophie's Choice - Incredible 2800 Sq. Ft. Luxury Log Cabin!

I stayed in Sophie’s Choice with my husband and two adult children. The layout of the cabin was great for our family gathering. The pool table is in the center of all the activity, and we all enjoyed it throughout the week. The kitchen had plenty of glassware and plates for the cabin’s accommodations. The beds were all comfortable, which can make or break a weeks vacation. The high top dining table was great for meals and for playing games. The location is convenient to town yet private and quiet. The bathrooms and bed sheet were clean when we arrived and the house seemed dusted and vacuumed. The comforter in the master could use a cleaning or replacement. There was visible staining along the top edge where, I’m guessing, it would touch peoples neck while sleeping. The kitchen cabinet do not have pulls on them so the edges were you open them with your fingers are sticky and oily. The pots and pans were in rough shape. The teflon coating was chipped and scratched. They have a great Weber grill, however, the bottom tray that is directly below the flavorizing bar had at least an inch of ash covering it, which was completely blocking the drip pan. It totally ignited so we had to turn off the grill and allow it to cool before disposing of it, delaying our dinner. The final ascent up the road to the cabin is gravel and steep. It has a couple of turns, some ruts and branches that were hitting the side of our vehicle (no damage). It was not easy getting up there with front wheel drive! I’m glad we had a rental and not our new Camry. Overall, we had a great week!

We traveled to Bryson City the weekend of 6/1/18-6/3/18 to ride the train on the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad. We stayed at Sophie's Choice and were really impressed with the cabin. Like others mentioned in their reviews the road to get up there is a little challenging if you're not comfortable with that kind of driving. I wasn't used to those kind of roads so I was kind of white knuckling it up the whole way. Luckily I had a pickup truck that did fine, I just kept wondering what would happen if a vehicle came from the other direction. The cabin was excellent from when we first walked in. The appliances are very nice and I enjoyed having the pool table which I thought was a big plus. All of the rooms were very spacious and the whole cabin felt very clean throughout. The bed linens and towels were all top quality which made you feel like you were staying in a resort hotel. I liked how the cabin was by itself at the top of the hill, it was serene and quiet up there. One major item I liked about the cabin was how close it is to downtown. You're only about 5 minutes away which makes it real convenient. The owner Steven was very accessible throughout the whole process. I had to contact him a couple of times regarding check-in and check-out and he responded very quickly and was easy to work with. I would definitely recommend Sophie's Choice due to the quality of the cabin as well as its location to downtown Bryson City.

It was peaceful and charming!

A group of 6 friends (3 couples) (in our 40’s) decided on this beautiful cabin for the location & being close to Fontana Lake since we decided to rent a pontoon for one day during our stay. The 3 bedrooms are spacious with very comfortable beds & ceiling fans in each room which was a must! The hot tub was great after a long day when the weather cooled. Along with the fire pit area. We loved the large dining table where we all could sit comfortably since we grilled out the first night & cooked breakfast the next morning. Grill worked perfectly too. My one and only complaint would be that there are no curtains on any windows. No privacy from the fire pit area outside of the Master bedroom when you want to change clothes. The bathroom only had lace curtains. Also the Master bedroom TV had no satilite service so it’s only a blue screen. Could of just been us not knowing how to operate it but we really didn’t need the TV as the living room TV was fine anyway & we were exhausted after a long fun day. Our stay was great & we made one for the memory books!! Thank You for allowing us to make memories in your cute cabin!

Steven and Sue's Byson cabin was excellent! Exactly per description and was a treat to stay at. Loved using the grill, hot tub, and pool table. Was my first time in Bryson City and really enjoyed the environment. Rented bikes from Tsali Cycles, visited the local breweries, and hiked to Wesser Bald from NOC; lots to do! I plan to bring my wife next trip and hope to go rafting through Steve and Sue. Only trouble we had was finding the cabin the first night, perhaps there could be another sign at the first turn off? Thanks for having us!
