Just be aware that the cabin is well off the main road and the drive to it is a single lane up the mountain. We didn’t meet other cars but that would have been a challenge. Other than that, it was great!

The cabin was just what we were looking for - away from the hustle bustle of the city, tucked away in nature with great Mountain View’s! The hot tub was fantastic. The beds were very comfortable. And the porch was the perfect spot for a morning hot beverage!

Absolutely loved it! I imagine the view is even better when the trees are more bare. Bust still great. The roads was rougher than I thought so glad we brought the truck.. Parking in front of the cabin is perfect for smaller vehicles but host was very accommodating with allowing us to park our bike trailer in another parking space. Great place to stay for our 15 year anniversary. Thank you!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Stargazer cabin. I made a mistake in scheduling, and I don't think you could ask for a better host, he went out of his way to make this trip happen for us despite my mistake.

The cabin was great! Everything was perfect for me and my fiancée! The only two things that bothered us were that we couldn't get the grill to work and the ceiling fan and light in the living room didn't want to come on.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We just bought a brand new gas grill. There is a remote control for the fan lights. I appreciate your feedback. Thanks for being a great guest and we look forward to having you back.

We had a great time even though the weather didn’t cooperate 100%, we made it work. We were celebrating our 43rd anniversary The cabin was very clean, which is my top concern always. We enjoyed the big screen smart TVs, the little time we were there!! So much to see and do, we left each morning and returned after dinner. We would have liked more lights, as the living room and downstairs bedroom was rather dark. The drive up to the cabin, whew! So many holes and ruts…rattles your teeth. But it was worth it to get to our destination.

Romantic Getaway

Perfect romantic getaway with everything from string lights to light our way when we arrived after dark to swing and rocking chairs on porch to throws on the couch. Cabin was clean with everything we needed for the two of us. Loved the nearness to the park and good hiking as well as easy access to downtown Bryson City.

Exactly what we were looking for ...

We had a great vacation & a big part of that is staying at the right place. We highly recommend Stargazer. It was the perfect size cabin for 2 couples. The cabin was well stocked (hand soap, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, etc), clean & very comfortable. We spent a lot of time on the covered porch. Close to downtown Bryson City. We'll stay here again if it's available!
