Relaxing, didn't sight see as much as planned, because we enjoyed the river view and sound, we spent most of our time on the porch, instructions from host were clear and pleasant
My fiancée and I were looking for an affordable escape from the city, and this cabin was exactly what we needed. While we initially hoped it would be a bit more tucked away in the woods, it was incredibly peaceful—and being right on the water was such a treat! The cabin was clean, cozy, and relaxing, and the host was super communicative throughout our stay.
We stayed 4 nights in this property. Over all it served our purpose well. My over all complaint was the old recliner needs replaced with something newer. But property was clean and very usable for our purpose. We will stay again
This place was immaculate. What a sweet little spot to stay in. Enjoy the ability to fish off the back porch and the location close to Town and the train was a wonderful stay. We enjoyed our nights there. Can’t wait to come back and stay again. Hope to be able to get this place again. It was just a wonderful little tiny cabin ride on the water and we loved it
great place to stay in bryson city very romantic and quite. This property was in a campground which was i was skeptical at first but it ended up being a very quiet and great experience. Not to mention the river is beautiful.
Needs alot of updates. All the Furniture.

A good stay
The cabin was magnificent and clean. Fully stocked. Not sure how it sleeps 6 as there was 1 queen bed in a bedroom, and a matress in a hot loft for children? Views and location is great for Bryson city, Cherokee and surrounding areas. The deck with the River was magnificent. Stunning. Communication was good except after stay. There hasn't been any since. No thank you. No refund on cleaning dispite leaving the cabin clean. Not sure what is going on afterwards. The location of the cabin is in a campground with other similar cabins/tiny homes units in very close proximity to the cabin. The other half of the campground is RV park,moderately upkept.
Property is cozy for 4 adults. We enjoyed our stay, host was responsive in a timely manner. There was a mama and 2 babies in the birdhouse on the deck, we enjoyed watching them at feeding time.

Great lol cation on the water. It's not to far from town.
This little cabin was perfect for a weekend. The back porch faces the Tuckasegee River and it’s the perfect spot to have your morning coffee. The only complaint I have was that the window AC unit didnt quite cool the bedroom, so fans and leaving the bedroom door were definitely necessary. Other than that, we had a great stay!
April 3-6, 2024. My husband and I and our two dogs enjoyed our stay at this cabin. Listening to the ducks and the rolling of the river was just what we needed for a short get away. Easy to get too and very close to Bryson City. Would definitely recommend this cabin by the river. Roy & Debbie Kings Mountain, NC

Perfect little creek side tiny house cabin for a Polar Express visit in Bryson City. ONLY 5 Minutes from the train station. Wonderful little porch where you can see and hear the train travel through several times a day. This was a girl’s trip and there was plenty of room for the three of us. Did not cook using the stove but used microwave for quick eats. Little coffee maker was great. Compact fridge was perfect for a couple day stay. Heat gets SUPER HOT but feels great with a cracked window. SUPER COMMUNICATION from host!
the cabin needs a deep cleaning. Sheets,blankets. and towels need to be upgraded and cleaned. Most of the light bulbs need to be replaced. The back deck was damaged during the storm and is unsafe. the parking area needs gravel or pavers. we had to walk through mud to ge into the cabin. when we arrived no one was there to let us in the cabin. We had to ask someone to call the owner. After forty five minutes to one hour we finally able to get into the cabin.
