Hands down cleanest place ever! Yes the driveway is steep, but it’s worth it for the privacy you have at this beautiful cabin. Short drive to town and grocery store. Both bedrooms have their own bathroom. Couldn’t be happier with our stay.

The cabin was everything as described and more. It was very private, well stocked, and made me feel at home the moment I walked in. The grill was in excellent shape. The driveway is steep and may concern me in winter months but no issues in good weather. I would revisit again.

About the host

Hosted by Cali Evans

Host profile image
We are a family who truly loves the mountains and the slower pace of life they offer. Hosting allows us to share a place that brings us peace, rest, and connection with nature. We take pride in creating a clean, comfortable, and welcoming space where guests can relax and feel at home. We’re hands-on hosts, responsive to questions, and always happy to help with local recommendations to make your stay in Bryson City memorable.

Why they chose this property

We chose this location because it offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience. The cabin is tucked away in a quiet, wooded setting where you can truly unplug and enjoy the sounds of nature, yet it’s just minutes from downtown Bryson City, Deep Creek, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We love that guests can spend the day hiking, rafting, or exploring waterfalls, then return to a peaceful retreat away from crowds and noise.

What makes this property unique

Our cabin stands out because it offers true seclusion on 2.5 private acres while still being close to everything Bryson City has to offer. Guests love the knotty pine interior, private hot tub, outdoor fire pit, and covered porch with rocking chairs surrounded by trees. Being pet-friendly is another feature that makes our cabin special, allowing guests to bring their dogs along for the adventure. It’s a quiet, comfortable mountain retreat designed for relaxation after a day of exploring the Smokies.
