AMAZING! Wow! Great cabin and great location! It’s close to the Polar Express! The best part is the cleanliness of the cabin!! I’ve never stayed in a place this clean! You know it’s clean when you see a squeegee in the shower! We will most definitely be back for another stay!!!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful, well-maintained cabin. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing week in the mountains. The location was perfect- close to Bryson City downtown and several great spots to explore. We especially enjoyed riding the train, visiting nearby towns, and seeing the Highland cows at Walnut Creek Farm, which was our daughter’s favorite part of the trip. The peaceful setting and gorgeous views made it the perfect family getaway. Highly recommend!

Nice place to stay in a perfect location, with lots of privacy, great amenities, and beautiful view. Pictures online do not do the cabin justice. Wrap around balcony with porch swing and hot tub were great for relaxing at the end of our adventurous days. Thanks for letting us stay in your lovely cabin!

Cabin was very cozy, kitchen well-stocked. Beautiful place. One of the bedrooms has a very squeaky, saggy mattress but that's the only issue. We didn't use the hot tub - maybe if it was easier to get to. Didn't make a fire outside bc we were too tired from long busy days! Great location near everything. Loved it!

The stay at Sunset Ridge was phenomenal! It was so much more than I expected. The owners were exceptionally responsive and helpful. The place is secluded as the description says but you can hear neighbors in the distance but they can’t be seen. I can’t wait to come back for another stay.

Best stay ever!

I just want to say that this was the best stay ever. The home was clean and well stock with everything you will need for cooking. But if you are a person that need to sleep with a tv, this is not the place for you no tv in the rooms. But that was the best sleep i eber had. The best part was the porch swing.

Excellent vacation cabin...spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything you need.

This home is by far the most well maintained property with great mountain views that my family has stayed in near Bryson City. It is convenient to shopping and family activities. It’s the perfect family getaway cabin. We’ve stayed at Sunset Ridge multiple times and look forward to the next visit.

We love this cabin. It was our 4th time staying there.

The cabin is always great. We love going into Bryson City and riding the train, hiking to the waterfall’s and the road to nowhere. It’s also close to NOC where we go rafting. We always enjoy our stay. The owners are easy to dealing with.

Beautiful location, lovely house

The cabin is perfectly located. It is secluded, yet a short drive from beautiful hiking trails and downtown Bryson. It is just as pictured: nicely decorated, very clean, well stocked,, and comfortable with lots of outdoor seating on the wrap around porch to relax and take in the views and fresh air. We couldn't be happier with our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Brenda Booth

Host profile image
We like the best of 2 worlds...the tropics and the mountains. Since we live in Florida, the tropical part is easy. We also love the mountains and it was a dream come true to be able to build our mountain cabin!

Why they chose this property

We have always enjoyed camping in the area of the Smoky Mountains and had the opportunity to purchase this piece of property from my husband's cousin. They also have a cabin they use as a vacation rental which we have stayed in. We fell in love with Bryson City and its proximity to outdoor adventures.

What makes this property unique

It took us a year and half to complete our cabin because we did so much work ourselves with family and friends. There is so much sweat equity here and personal satisfaction. We hope you enjoy our vacation home as much as we hope to!
