Everything was perfect. Great, fast communication. Beautiful grounds, fire pit and hot tub were wonderful. The location is close to everything we wanted to do. Coffee shop at the end of the road was convenient and good. We hiked by day and soaked in the hot tub by the fire at night. We loved our stay, will be back!

By far one of the best stays I have had. Relaxing, comfortable and far enough away to get out of the city. Definitely on the list for returns. The full open door option was a must! Being able to relax on the bed, with the cool mountain breeze, was so inviting. Kitchen was big enough to cook. The hot tub was relaxing, and private. A great place to get away.

Our stay at this property was exceptional. The unit offered a distinctive charm in a truly beautiful setting. The host was gracious, welcoming, and highly responsive throughout our visit. Everything was spotless and perfectly prepared upon arrival, with the temperature set just right. The property was easy to locate and access, and any minor concerns were addressed promptly and with great professionalism. Rena also shared an excellent breakfast recommendation that turned out to be a highlight of our trip. We would gladly return without hesitation. Basecamp provides wonderfully unique lodging options in Bryson City that make for a memorable stay.
Common area between units. Very charming.

Amazing and unique experience in this delightful rental. My husband and I came to drive the Tail of the Dragon Chili Hoop Loop in mid October. The entire stay was so wonderful, we actually booked an additional night.As retirees who love nature but are too old for roughing it this was ideal. The fact that I could fall asleep in a comfortable air-conditioned bedroon but open the blinds to to fall asleep looking at the amazing night sku. The hot tub was a great bonus after long days of exilerating driving. We will definitely come back.

There are two kinds of vacations. The first involves fighting traffic, standing in lines, and paying too much money to be surrounded by people you were trying to escape in the first place. The second involves disappearing into the mountains with someone you enjoy spending entirely too much time with. This place is firmly in the second category.The shipping container cabin is one of those rare finds that actually lives up to the pictures. Tucked away off a winding mountain road, it’s modern without being pretentious, comfortable without trying too hard, and just remote enough to make you forget that your phone exists. The kitchen is surprisingly functional for a cabin of this size, the outdoor dining area is fantastic, and the grill was clean, maintained, and ready for serious work.The hot tub? Let’s just say it saw a lot of use. After a day of hiking, exploring, tubing, or wandering around the Nantahala Gorge, there are few better ways to spend an evening than sitting under a blanket of stars with a drink in hand and absolutely nowhere you need to be the next morning. What happens in the hot tub stays in the hot tub—and some stories are better left that way.The location is excellent. You’re close enough to Bryson City when you need it, but far enough away that the sounds of civilization are replaced by crickets, mountain air, and the occasional reminder that nature doesn’t care about your emails.I would give grounded 100/100 great hosts
