Great location! Nice little cottage stay.

Loved this little cabin! Christy, our host, was extremely communicative and available throughout our stay. Check in and check out process was very easy to follow. I stayed with my husband and labrador. Plenty of room for just the three of us with, a small yard space for the dog. The cabin was a really convenient to walk into Bryson City. We will be back to visit!

Cute and Cozy

Cute and comfortable cottage. However it is not a 2 bedroom and definitely not walking distance to the downtown area due to the steep road leading to its location, but otherwise it was a nice setting everything was great.

Great Stay at The Cottage

The host, Ms. Christie is AWESOME! She was very prompt in responding to our questions and very accommodating to our unique situation. The cottage is very charming. We would definitely recommend, and will consider another stay if in the area. We really enjoyed our time in Bryson City.

This was such a nice cabin. Its rustic appeal was exceeded by the modern interior. Everything was very clean and well kept. It’s also very close to everything downtown. Highly recommend and I’ll be back. Chris A.

This cottage was really nice. I love the Christmas decor it was very detailed. I was expecting it to be more clean. We found a good bit of bugs. It still wasn’t a bad experience we enjoyed ourselves and would revisit.

Very Comfortable

I didn't give it a 5 due to being a little dusty and the toilet area being a little dirty. One thing I want to mention. If you plan on walking to and from anything in town Do Not stay here unless you are young and/or in VERY good shape. The listing gives time to walk to specific locations in town, they might be accurate TO the locations, but the return trip is 100% UPHILL. Definitely not for an older couple or anyone that is not in very good shape. With that said, the unit itself was fine.
