Enjoy the sound of the Waterfall right off the back deck

This property is exactly as advertised. The Falls are really there and were a joy to listen to. The drive up to the cabin is not bad and the owner's directions were spot on. We enjoy hiking trails and there were several really nice ones right in Bryson City. We would definitely come back to this cabin. There is no cell service here but the owner did indicate that in her information. WiFi was fine as well as cable.

Can’t say enough about our stay at this cabin! Even though it seems like forever before you get there, once there it’s truly beautiful and worth the drive! It’s at least 20 minutes from Bryson City but the seclusion is awesome. The cabin is spacious, clean and felt like home. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen area is well stocked. We forgot a few items but to our surprise, we found them in either the fridge or cupboards. Sitting on the deck and listening to the falls was very relaxing. The family room is a great area for kids even though we didn’t have any with us. It’s equipped with tv, all kinds of games and a good sleeping area as well. If you want a beautiful drive via scenic route and relaxation, Melody Falls is the cabin to rent.

When we arrived the home was very dirty and we spent an hour cleaning it and doing laundry on the bedding and towels. Cleaned refrigerators and removed the condiments. Many questionable as to use. Some ants in the kitchen and we put the traps out. Should not have to take the trash to a drop off. That should be done by the "cleaning" crew. Waterfall spot lights need repair and bulbs only one works. Probably a 3.5 star experience.

We had an awesome time! The house was everything it said it would be and more. We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation and hope to visit again soon. Our transmission in our van went out and had to be repaired while we were on vacation but everyone was extremely helpful and we found a great mechanic. The house was fully stocked with everything that you could need. The location was very convenient to Bryson City and the surrounding towns. The dogs especially enjoyed frolicking in the water outback. We did lots of sightseeing and our seven-year-old son made it on 14 mile hike in the mountains which was the biggest excitement of the whole trip for him.

We very much enjoyed our stay even though it rained for half of our time there (thanks Mother Nature!). The creek was beautifully running when we arrived but became more of a rushing river for several days. But this didn't detract from the relaxing scenery. The house is well maintained, furnished & stocked with towels, blankets, pillows and kitchen necessities, including some condiments & staples (sugar, mayo, mustard, salt & pepper, spices, etc.). I did not realize until we arrived that there was no dishwasher (my fault!). So my barely 20 year old & her friend had to do the dishes when we cooked - much to their dismay LOL! The roads to the cabin were fairly well maintained and gravel was scraped. There are a few places where it is very bumpy on the gravel road. My SUV and my husband's truck handled it just fine but I don't recommend driving up in a small car. The only issue we had was the weak wifi. Because it rained a lot, we spent more time in the cabin than we anticipated. The four of us could not use the wifi at the same time because it was such a drain on the service. Since it did rain several days, we decided to watch movies and the sunken den was great as we could all spread out on the separate couches and truly lounge. Our big dog absolutely loved the creek and both enjoyed the deck and playing in the front yard when the sun was out. Overall, I would recommend staying here because the quietness and serenity cannot be beat.
