Great location. We spent time mountain biking at Tsali, hiked at Deep Creek, and also went to Mountain Layers Brewery in Bryson City. The home was comfortable and had everything we needed in the kitchen, nice deck and patio area for grilling.

The house is great for a family get away. Close enough to drive into Bryson City to eat or go to grocery for something to cook. Great hiking and shopping. Kitchen is well stocked and beds are comfortable.

Wonderful layout of house with two rooms upstairs and the other bedroom downstairs. We loved how all the cabinets in the kitchen were labeled. Our family of 4 plus 1 came to the area for Miata’s At The Gap. My son brought his car and loved the location for going to Fontana and the Dragon every day. The covered parking was a bonus and a big reason for me booking. The yard was fabulous for walking our dogs. We will definitely consider for our stay next year.

This place was amazing, if you looking to stay somewhere with that cozy mountain feeling than look no further this place is hands down top tier. Although we didn’t get to use all the amenities like the hot tub, game room with a dart board, cornhole, fooze ball, and all the board games you could think of. We rode motorcycles instead lol. This place is a 10 out of 5 stars and we will look to book again in the future.

Safw, family mountain getaway

The house is as nice as it looks in the photos. Bryson City was beautiful as a Christmas Market and the Polar Express train. The house was exactly what I was looking for: coffee in the morning on the back porch, cozying up on the cough to the gas fireplace, watching the stars from the hot tub. If we are in the area again, we's stay here agoin.
