5/5 Stars – Perfect Cozy Stay in the Heart of Bryson City!
We had an amazing stay at this charming cottage! The location is unbeatable—just a short and easy walk to downtown Bryson City and the railway. We visited for the Polar Express and had a wonderful time. Even my elderly stepfather, who struggles with stairs and walking, was able to make the trip effortlessly.This is a classic small mountain town with a mix of older homes, which adds to its charm. If you’re expecting modern luxury homes, this isn’t the area—but the cottage itself is like visiting Grandma’s house in the best way. It’s quaint, cozy, and so welcoming.The house was immaculately clean, which is a big deal for me. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. The host even left us holiday shortbread cookies, which was such a sweet touch! There’s also a hot tub, Wi-Fi, smart TVs, and little extras like a foosball table and games.We brought my parents’ dogs along, and it was such a relief to have a pet-friendly place where they could join us. The host was kind and accommodating, and while we didn’t need anything during our stay, I felt confident they’d have helped if we had.This cottage was the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. It’s reasonably priced, incredibly close to everything, and just felt like home. We’ll definitely stay here again next time we visit Bryson City. Highly recommend!Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Nice interior but not much curb appeal
Photos are very accurate in terms of the interior which was clean and spacious. The neighborhood was very run down and didn’t feel very safe. The hot tub was functional but needed to be maintained a bit (chemicals)

Too bad about the trailers
The online description of the house overlookg the river from the front porch sounded inviting. But the view fromt the porch was of three or four trailers and maybe beyond sometall w eeds there was a river but we couldn't see it. Everything ele was fine.

Home is an older home but not in a bad way. More in a nostalgic way. We loved it. I love the wooden floors and the doors that separate the kitchen from the living room. Wish the fireplace was in use but other than that we loved having coffee on the porch and smelling the cool mountain air. We will stay again in the future!

Dated but, clean
The interior of the house is dated but, clean. I noticed that a few other reviews stated that the home was not clean. We did not find that to be the case. It could use an overhaul of interior updates however, it was a clean place to lay our heads take a shower. Although we didn’t cook most of the necessities seemed to be there. The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 star on all categories is the fact that you can walk to Bryson city at your own risk. There are no sidewalks and to no fault of the property owner vehicles fly up and down that road so we didn’t chance it. The neighborhood made me a little skeptical at first but it is very quiet and seemed perfectly safe. Overall it was a good stay.

horrible experience
Multiple issues with this property and the host. The place was not clean as there was hair in the bed sheets. I changed the sheets and got sheets out of the dryer which we were told were clean, but they also had multiple hairs on them. Also dirty dishes in the dishwasher when we arrived, wifi not working, and ac not working, even when we were told it was fixed it still was not working (the owner claimed it was on a timer, it was broken). When we booked this place, there was no question or place for me to select that I was bringing a pet. I looked all over the website and under fees and nothing was mentioned. Now it looks like that has been updated, but the way the owner went about trying to collect money for a pet when we were already there was very unprofessional and abrasive. I would not have minded at all paying a pet fee had it been listed before, but it was never mentioned when I booked it and felt attacked by the way it was being asked. Don't stick others with a charge that was never originally mentioned especially when there was no way of selecting it when booking. The place was not listed as advertised, the kayak that was listed to be used was very old and dirty as well. The owner did allow for an early check in which was nice, and I had no problem with her needing to get some things in the house, but later on complained about me not feeling well and needing to lay down in a bed room despite being told I could come. Also lacked many basics in the kitchen like spatulas
