Secluded cabin retreat

Quiet, remote cabin surrounded by deep forest tranquility. Cabin is beautiful, clean, and very comfortable. We slept better there then we have in years! Only downfall’s is that it’s located on a steep gravel road that runs over a mile long straight up into the mountain, and the upstairs bathroom door needs to be replaced because it’s really hard to open. All in all, we would definitely recommend this to hunters, nature lovers or anyone looking to take a break from city life!

Response from VrboOwner on 2 Jul, 2023

We appreciate your review Holly. As advertised this is a secluded cabin in the woods with located 1.5 miles on a state maintained gravel road. If you’ve never been to the mountains of Western NC we have many, many gravels roads. This is one of the better ones for sure. That being said we encourage all guests looking to book with us to take a look at the description of the property as well as the guest information webpage that we send out to all guests at the time of booking. We give tips, tricks, even an instruction video for those who have never been to this area or on a gravel road in the mountains. We want our guests to have a great experience with us which means provided the exact place and experience we state on VRBO and our information website. Our contact information is also listed everywhere and we are always available during normal hours to report any issues. We rely on our guests for that information during their stay:)

SECLUDED LOCATION

THE CABIN WAS NICE BUT DIDN"T NECESSARILY LIVE UP TO THE PICTURES. THE DESCRIPTION NEEDS TO BE VERY DETAILED ABOUT HOW SECLUDED AND STEEP THE DRIVE TO IT IS. WOULD NEVER WANT TO STAY THERE AGAIN. SINCE WE WERE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA IT MADE IT DIFFICULT TO DECIDE ON WHICH CABIN TO PICK.

Response from VrboOwner on 2 Jul, 2023

We are certainly disappointed to hear from you after your stay is over that you were not pleased with the accommodations. Unfortunately, when booking through a 3rd party site such as VRBO we are not in full control of where they place descriptions. In any case we are all about providing great vacations in an outdoor adventure paradise. We would never want anyone to book with us thinking this was a city area such as a Gatlinburg or Asheville. If booking through VRBO, please review the description and specifically the location description which informs you about the gravel road(extremely common in this remote part of Western NC). If for some reason it is missed, upon booking we provide a very detailed "guest information and area information webpage" for our guests. We detail the two switchback turns and gravel road there and even provide driving tips for this who have never been on a mountain road via a 3 minute overview video. In any event, I am told by almost all guests that I overstate the steepness of the road and that they get used to it after a time or two up and down. As stated in the tile this is a "secluded" cabin in the woods; yet only 10 miles from all the adventure in Bryson City and Cherokee. We are always available for any questions that arise at the time of booking or after.

A great place to disconnect to reconnect

Cabin was great. Location was secluded private & quiet. Exactly what we needed. We wonder into town visited the shops around main st and everyone was very friendly. We took a ride on the polar express for the kids and they absolutely loved it. We also visited the Darnell farms went on a hay ride to the pumpking patch and got lost in the corn maze, they had live music, dance performers and warm apple cider. We really spent most of the time on and around the property; the boys & hub went on an exploration hike that took their breath away “literally”. Roasted marshmallows and hotdogs by the fire pit, relaxed on the porch taking in the scenery & listening to the sound of the creek TOTAL RELAXATION! Hope to be back soon.

Thank you for the kind review Jazz. Thats exactly what the property is all about. Getting away from it all and enjoy nature, the company of others, etc! So glad you were able to do that and we would be happy to host you again someday! Thank you again for staying with us!

Gun Range

The ol gun range was an awesome place. Very beautiful, and when they say secluded, they mean it. It is high up in the mountain with a very pretty drive all the way up. A nice creek runs along the road the whole way up, and just below the yard of the cabin the creek runs. You can hear it from the porch of the house. We did have car issues getting there though. We knew it was steep from the reviews, so I can’t blame anyone else. My wife’s Toyota Highlander couldn’t make it past a certain section of the gravel road up. I kept putting it down to first gear and getting speed up, everything, and it would get to a spot and just start spinning. So luckily I had my pickup truck and the local golf club allowed us to park her suv there and we would take my truck up to the cabin. Overall a very nice place. I would be nervous about taking small children in case of an accident though because it does take a good while to get into town. We loved it though.

Not as expected

The view is beautiful and parts of the cabin are as well. But there was mildew on the bathroom ceiling and biting bugs in the downstairs bedroom. The hot tub was over done with chemicals which made us itch. The furniture was chained down which made us wonder about the neighborhood safety. The host was argumentative when we told him about the mildew and hot tub issue. He asked for pics we sent them and no response. The bed downstairs is very lumpy(huge lumps). The upstairs bedroom has no curtains or anything on window. The furniture was cheap and not in good shape. There are much better options out there.

Response from VrboOwner on 27 Nov, 2023

Unfortunately this is a classic retaliatory review so I will only respond for those viewing. We are in a remote area of Western NC with nothing but woods and nature surrounding us. Please do not book here if you are looking for something in the city. We have lots of bugs and wildlife but do not have "biting bugs" inside now or in the past. We have standard quarterly pest control that guarantees such. If an issue arises we can send the Pest control company out if we are informed during the stay. The cabin isn't in a neighborhood at all but is obviously one of the safest locations in the world. We do have issues that arise with short term rental guests and outdoor furniture so a few years ago to help ensure the furniture would be on the deck and not in the yard broken we placed chains through the rockers. Not at all a neighborhood safety issue. This guests informed me they had many allergies including respiratory and chlorine. We do not even use Caroline in our hot tubs and there isn't any on site; never has been. In any case, we even drained and refilled the hot tub for them. There is no trace of mold whatsoever. There was a slight discoloration of the paint in a spot upon review of the photo. Please see all reviews all across the web for an accurate review. Again, this is a cabin in the woods so there isn't always a need for any additional privacy measures like in a city.

Unique stay, relaxing!

Definitely a unique stay at the old gun range. We enjoyed our family trip very much. It was relaxing and cabin was off the beaten path. We brought our family dog with us so the downstairs area was perfect was her and the kids. We also enjoyed the grounds around the cabin. We had s’mores a couple of times:) A nice get-a-away for sure!

About the host

Hosted by Brian

My name is Brian Whitener. My wife Sarah and I love the Smoky Mountains of Western NC! I also enjoy photography, biking, woodworking, and spending time with my lovely wife Sarah. Our passion is to see people experience a place of rest and rejuvenation from their busy everyday lives. My wife and I believe our cabin, this area, and the naturally beautiful surroundings of Bryson City NC provide such a place to reconnect with family and friends! We are excited to share the cabin with you and we know you will find it most relaxing! We also really enjoy assisting all of our guests experience the most fulfilling time possible while here. There are so many hiking trails, waterfalls, and things to do it can become overwhelming! Once you have booked with us and have reviewed our Area Information Page please feel free to ask us any questions about any of the excursions listed!

What makes this property unique

Another benefit of booking with us is the experience and level of control we have over our property. My wife Sarah and I manage the property ourselves and therefore control cleaning products that are used in the home. Our goal is to have as chemical free environment as possible. We proudly use Mrs. Meyers products, hydrogen peroxide based(bleach free) bathroom cleaner, paraben free naturally derived body wash, and 100% natural essential oils for our cabin’s signature scent. The hot tub is chlorine free; we use Bromine, a safer way to sanitize the spa.
