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!

We loved the cottage. Cute open floor plan including bed, living room, kitchen area. Bathroom was a good size. It was very close to town which we loved because we always run late and needed to catch the train. Drive way was a little tricky, had to oull in the neighbors driveway to get a good angle ..sharp steep, bumpy incline that levels out. Thanks for the stay. Would stay again.

Overall I had a decent stay and this cottage was perfect for my couple of days in Bryson City. Only issues I had was I was only left with a single partial roll of toilet paper, there was hair in the shower, and the floors needed to be mopped. Other than that, no complaints. The host was accommodating and adjusted my original stay to add an extra night.

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.

What a neat place. I traveled along for the first time to Bryson city and found this place to be absolutely perfect for what I need.**Car enthusiasts only: if you run a lowered front spoiler, you’re gonna find it hard to navigate in the driveway. It needs to be stock height or better.

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.

Excellent place for 2 adults and maybe one small child (or dog). Short drive to GSM Railway, downtown and GSM National Park. Imagine a large cruise cabin and you get the idea. Clean, comfortable bed and a couch, keurig coffee maker with lots of choices. Microwave and full size fridge. Pleasant front porch. Only downside is route to downtown is uphill/downhill. Definitely not walkable unless you’re into Ironman sporting events. Also, parking is steep and tight to turn around. The four steps to the porch are natural stone, spaced a bit steep with questionable banister. Not for the mobility impaired. In short, a nice spot to nap, bathe and head out. A reasonable price for what you get. Would stay again, but recommend for a short, home base visit and not a long vacation.
