Everything was perfect. Great, fast communication. Beautiful grounds, fire pit and hot tub were wonderful. The location is close to everything we wanted to do. Coffee shop at the end of the road was convenient and good. We hiked by day and soaked in the hot tub by the fire at night. We loved our stay, will be back!

By far one of the best stays I have had. Relaxing, comfortable and far enough away to get out of the city. Definitely on the list for returns. The full open door option was a must! Being able to relax on the bed, with the cool mountain breeze, was so inviting. Kitchen was big enough to cook. The hot tub was relaxing, and private. A great place to get away.

Our stay at this property was exceptional. The unit offered a distinctive charm in a truly beautiful setting. The host was gracious, welcoming, and highly responsive throughout our visit. Everything was spotless and perfectly prepared upon arrival, with the temperature set just right. The property was easy to locate and access, and any minor concerns were addressed promptly and with great professionalism. Rena also shared an excellent breakfast recommendation that turned out to be a highlight of our trip. We would gladly return without hesitation. Basecamp provides wonderfully unique lodging options in Bryson City that make for a memorable stay.
Common area between units. Very charming.

Amazing and unique experience in this delightful rental. My husband and I came to drive the Tail of the Dragon Chili Hoop Loop in mid October. The entire stay was so wonderful, we actually booked an additional night.As retirees who love nature but are too old for roughing it this was ideal. The fact that I could fall asleep in a comfortable air-conditioned bedroon but open the blinds to to fall asleep looking at the amazing night sku. The hot tub was a great bonus after long days of exilerating driving. We will definitely come back.
