Had some hiccups but the host was quick to take care of even in the middle of the night. My only complaint is the comfort of the beds. My husband and I had to sleep on trunnels in the living room which were good but also double as couches and that was not comfortable. Neighborhood looks very shady but it was actually quiet and no issues at all.

Thank you so much for leaving our place in such good condition. We spoke several times during your stay and I feel it is important to clear up the bed situation. We have an extraordinary 4 poster king bed in the main bedroom but you told us you were too short to use it, even though it is regular height off the floor. The queen bed in the second bedroom is also a very comfortable bed. We offered to have you stay at our other nearby property at no additional charge, which also has a very comfortable king bed, but you said you were comfortable staying where you were. The beds you ultimately slept in are brand new and our family members presonally stayed on them last month and loved the comfort. So sorry that with so many options you couldnt get comfortable, but good bedding is so important to good hosting and we pride ourselves on making sure our guests get a great night sleep!

We stayed for a week and spent most of our time hiking in the Smoky Mountains National Park. We had a wonderful stay at this house in Bryson. It had everything we needed and is conveniently close to the park. It's also close to downtown Bryson, so we walked to dinner a few nights. Check-In was easy and our host was very responsive. Thanks much!

House was extremely clean & location was very convenient. Only thing I would recommend is some better landscaping & owner should provide more toilet paper & paper towels.

Response from VrboOwner on 9 Oct 2025
So glad you enjoyed the cleanliness and location of the house. I apoligize for the landscaping but it had been extremely rainy and the grass needs to be dry in order to be cut. As for additional supplies,thank you for letting us know you couldnt find them. Our staff leaves extra paper towels under the kitchen sink and toilet paper in the cabinets in the bathroom. They will add this information to the welcome letter.
