Beautiful property just minutes from downtown Bryson

We loved the balcony and porch areas with beautiful views of the mountains, it’s very own pond and green space. Our children loved the green space to be able to run around in. And there were 2 fire pits! Inside had all the basics we needed for our stay. Excited for our next trip!

Ok..for the price

The property wasn't clean there was roaches and the tubs were dirty. The driveway needs attention. However the place was roomy plenty of sleeping for large familes. And the price was good. But due to the roaches we will not be staying again

Nice relaxing. Close to town. GPS will get you there, but their instructions are better.

Listing said mostly motorcycle friendly, "a little gravel" please smooth out the washed areas and it would be better. Didn't notice that there was only 1 TV, but it was nice to not hear the noise of TV. Make sure you do not leave trash outside while staying. Some wildlife critters enjoy getting into the trash. We have 2 daughters that just kept on talking about the bear (he only wanted to get to the trash) So we had peace and adventure all in one place.

Great mountain stay

The house was very clean and organized. It is located close to downtown but far enough to feel private. Close access to lots of trails, shopping and dining. I will definitely book this house again, simply for the location. The only issue with the house was the upstairs thermostat didnt seem to work very well so it was a bit warm.

Could be an excellent property.

Great location and communication. The property has great potential but needs to be cleaned more thoroughly. The beds in the 2nd bedroom upstairs are poor quality. The kitchen was the area that needed a better cleaning. We had a great trip but it could have been excellent. I don't want to be negative but i want to be ho est.

It was ok.

We would possibly stay here again. The pictures online make it look a lot nicer inside than what it truly was. We felt that the cleaning crew they use may need to have a little talking to in regards of what it means to be clean. Pros: The area was wonderful. It was private, a nice view and adequate space for all of us. Each family getting their own bathroom was a huge plus. It is close to Deep Creek, Cherokee and other fun things to do in this area. Bedrooms are spacious. Downstairs feels like another private area or great for all the kids! Fire pit area (bring your own chairs) Cons: We found trash under the sink as well as other areas. Dirty fridge (needs a good scrub). Floors were dirty. The linens for the downstair futons had stains on them (looked pretty rough). We washed them again because it was hard to believe they were clean in the first place. The hot tubs top seems to be old and rotting. There were pieces/debris falling off into the hot tub. We had a crazy ant issue. The first night we lost count how many ants we were stomping on. They were all over the counters in the kitchen and all through the dining and living room. Positive: we called the management company and they sent a guy out. This helped the issue immensely. We had about 10 more stragglers after that. It also could be because the trash can was now much more interesting than the house. It was nice that we didn’t have to deal with the major issue all vacation. Otherwise this would have been a 1 star review. The road leading the the house is one way (meaning two cars cannot pass). One time we had to back almost all the way out in order for them to get out.

This was a perfect location for our trip to the smoky mountains! We hit Deep Creek (only a mile away), Fontana Lake( 20 min away) and the NOC (29 min away). The house was very cute with a great view of the mountains and a great place to relax before our next day of adventures! Highly recommend it!
