Very cozy and beautiful home. Caretaker was very informative. The creek view windows and stove/oven could use some TLC, but overall we were very impressed with the cleanliness and fall decor. We all enjoyed our stay.

Our family truly enjoyed our stay at this cabin. We enjoyed grilled salmon, a riverfront view and memories we will always cherish. The outdoor fire pit was a perfect place to share s’more’s under a full moon. The fireplaces were stunning. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would need to cook for your family. We are so thankful for this getaway. Thank you for the details that made us feel so at home.

The owner of this property has obviously poured her heart into this beautiful cabin. There are special touches in every room. The view from the sun room looking down the river is gorgeous and relaxing. We have been staying in the Smokey’s for 30 years and this cabin was as clean as any I’ve ever stayed in. Relaxing in the hot tub while watching the river flow by only a few yards away was the best way to wind down after visiting all the surrounding areas. The 2 king beds and bunk room was perfect for our family of 7. Highly Recommend this cabin if you plan to stay in the Bryson City or Cherokee area! Also the elk viewing area only a few miles down the road was awesome!

Thank you for the kind words concerning our staff, yes, they are amazing and our million dollar fun family loving location. Meeting our guest needs is always a priority, we are proud of our home. After reading your review, I am concerned others will need clarity. The owner , was your greeter, all phone numbers were exchanged and the very clear communication of : “Anything YOU NEEDED” was conversed. Your finds , dishes or removal of art decor?, could have been addressed immediately . Rancid oil?, cluttered? All, Not satisfactory and alarming , and yes one , this should not have happened , yet two , if a mistake occurred , it would have been corrected promptly and your care hurd should you requested. Again note, A FULL TIME CARETAKING STAFF IS 24 hour was available during your stay. Your visit to NC , Followed a major storm. It was communicated at your greet, that the Frontier WIFI LINES were down in our area and yes, the HOT TUB was damaged. Repairs to both were prompted yet out of our control. Disappointing for certain. Thank you for two stars. May your return visit be a better 5 star blessing , and your decision to use of our amazing staff if requested, be used. Owner Jillian.

This place was more magical than we expected. We arrived in the evening with all the lights and decor to welcome us. The setting on the river was fabulous with a bonus of horseshoes and a hot tub and the twinkling stars from the hot tub. Unexpectedly ran into Jillian and had a wonderful conversation. It was such a pleasure to meet her in person. Anyone who visits here will be pleasantly surprised and enjoy the two fireplaces and the magic of the train throughout the day as well. We loved our stay here thank you Jillian.

My wife and I spent 10 nights at this property, waking up each day and enjoying coffee and a view of the river each day, It was probably one of the first times where we spent 90 percent of our time at the property. Will stay at the location again.

The location of this cabin is absolutely top tier.Waterfront, beautiful and picturesque, and only 10 minutes from downtown Bryson City. The location truly is perfect.Unfortunately, for nearly 500 a night, the amount of issues we experienced felt unreasonable. The cabin appeared poorly maintained and not very clean. There were dead bugs, spider webs, dusty corners, dirty windows, and even stains on the bed sheets.There were also several maintenance problems throughout the cabin. Many of the light switches did not work, including the bedroom light and fan, so we had to rely on a lamp. The upstairs shower was outdated, difficult to turn on, and had almost no water pressure. The downstairs jet tub motor ran, but the jets did not work. Parts of the electric reclining couches were also broken & Living room hammock was ripped so we couldn't use.The uneven stone flooring is a trip hazard and not child-friendly, and there were exposed wires and cords throughout the cabin. The upstairs fire alarm randomly went off in the morning, and we had to remove the batteries to stop it. This cabin has amazing potential because the location, but it needs deep cleaning, repairs, and better upkeep.

Thank you for your stay. Yes our home on River is quite remarkable and a pleasure to stay in. I read your review and it concerned me that many of these issues you so kindly shared were there to start with , yet none shared to make right? . Yes things like alarm batteries unexpectedly need replacing, finding a light switche occasionally can be challenging in a designer home, and thank you for your note on dust. My apologies for your uncomfortable stay. I immediately contacted , Our 24 HOUR CARE TAKING STAFF to find out why?, and if your challenges, concerns, and requests? were unaddressed quickly and efficiently? I am very discouraged in the communication not shared. Your points have been acknowledged, looked at and sadly addressed immediately. Again our 24 HOUR FULL TIME CARETAKING STAFF if had been requested , would have repaired all, and made your stay as it should have been, perfect. I will address the comments, push better on our end for communication with guests, and take all your unhappy notes with the respect it deserves.

The property is amazing. The communications were excellent start to finish. Decor and design elements were outstanding questions and thoughtfully created.We loved every element of our stay and will definitely stay again.Very minor recommendations.Evaluate cooking utensils, pots and pans for quality and everything needed to prepare meals.Property could use a thorough cleaning. However, we also understand how difficult it would be to keep such a unique place clean.LOVED THE PLACE!

The location is great and the property on the river is beautiful. But the area for guests is not 2,000 square feet. The owners area is the entire bottom floor and I think that is included in the square footage. As others have mentioned, the place is a little dusty and if you are sensitive to dust then it's probably better to look at other options.
