The location of this cabin is absolutely top tier.Waterfront, beautiful and picturesque, and only 10 minutes from downtown Bryson City. The location truly is perfect.Unfortunately, for nearly 500 a night, the amount of issues we experienced felt unreasonable. The cabin appeared poorly maintained and not very clean. There were dead bugs, spider webs, dusty corners, dirty windows, and even stains on the bed sheets.There were also several maintenance problems throughout the cabin. Many of the light switches did not work, including the bedroom light and fan, so we had to rely on a lamp. The upstairs shower was outdated, difficult to turn on, and had almost no water pressure. The downstairs jet tub motor ran, but the jets did not work. Parts of the electric reclining couches were also broken & Living room hammock was ripped so we couldn't use.The uneven stone flooring is a trip hazard and not child-friendly, and there were exposed wires and cords throughout the cabin. The upstairs fire alarm randomly went off in the morning, and we had to remove the batteries to stop it. This cabin has amazing potential because the location, but it needs deep cleaning, repairs, and better upkeep.
