We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin in Bryson City. The location was perfect. You could be downtown to many shops and restaurants in a few minutes and then to all of the adventures the Nantahala Outdoor Center has to offer. The house was very clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you for hosting us!

Very very nice clean, step down from foyer into kitchen could be tricky. The step is not real visible. Maybe a small ramp would work. Place extremes clean.. couple bedrooms without a bathroom. The beds were very good. The sheets awesome. Would love for them to tell me the name of your sheets. Great place for all

The house was in a great location near Bryson city center while still feeling secluded. The house was set up with guest in mind with everything needed in the kitchen to having enough more than fluffy pillows on each bed. Check in and out was easy and communication was great!

Wonderful Stay!

This was a wonderful place to stay for the weekend! When our prior booking in Gatlinburg was unexpectedly cancelled on Christmas Day, we were more than pleasantly surprised to find such a gem in the Smokies! We appreciated the cleanliness and well-equipped kitchen for our cooking needs. The location was excellent. We would definitely stay again!

Very convenient location but the turn off the road and then immediately heading up the steep road to the house took a little getting used too. Overall a great experience. We enjoyed sitting around the fire pit one night. There was plenty of room for our group of 11 adults and 1 child.

About the host

Hosted by RaeLynn & Gene

Host profile image

Your hosts are Gene and RaeLynn. Gene grew up along the coast of North Carolina. North Carolina is his favorite place in the world. His folks moved to Bryson City. Gene has been going to the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina for decades. Gene is a gunsmith.
RaeLynn grew up in Wyoming. She met Gene in Utah after he moved West because he was "sick of the beach". RaeLynn is a mom/baby nurse. She is also a professional quilter on the side. RaeLynn loves visiting the Smoky Mountains with her husband and his family.
RaeLynn & Gene love to spend time in the mountains and in nature. They love fishing and hunting and anything outdoors. Being outside resets them and grounds them. It's a great escape from the busy life that everyone seems to have these days.

Why they chose this property

We loved this property when we first saw it. It is so bright and warm and inviting. We love the nature feel inside and out. It is a very well-built custom home.

Our favorite things about the property include:
the secluded feel at the end of the road in the Smoky Mountain Forest
the half bath feels like you're in the forest with the log wall and the leaf sink
the circle wall opening between the dining room and living room- it's a cool feature
the closeness to town and all that Bryson City has to offer
the master bathroom is really nice with the glass shower and the tub
the wood beams, wood floors, and wood stove all add a warm, comfortable cabin feel
the pool room- we weren't sure what to use that space for initially but really felt that a pool table was the perfect fit for that space and for our guests
the proximity to Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Blue Ridge Parkway, the Tail of the Dragon, numerous mountain lakes, rivers, streams, and waterfalls, Great Smoky Mountain Railroad, and so much more!

There is so much that we love about this property! We really wanted to share this wonderful home with our own family and friends and other fantastic guests!
