Excellent tiny home property and host in Bryson City

Perfect little mountain getaway/hideaway just minutes from downtown Bryson City, NC. This property is 5 acres of pure, natural mountain landscape with a beautiful and awesome tiny home on it. The tiny home was just like a one bedroom apartment. It also had a private hot tub outside on the side deck. My wife and I enjoyed this property rental very much. The there were many features that we enjoyed about our stay, but our favorites were the actual tiny home, hot tub, fireflies and the seclusion of the property. I also want to say the host/owner and caretaker of the property were amazing. It was very obvious they have much love and pride for the property. They made themselves readily and easily available and swiftly responded to all question and concerns. My wife and I would highly recommend this spot to any couples looking for a beautiful and quaint mountain escape near Bryson City, NC. Check it out! My wife and I would definitely book this spot if we visit this area again.
Outside of tiny home. Front porch with 2 rocking chairs and a table.
Outdoor area with picnic table, chairs, fire pit with wood and a charcoal grill.
Side deck with hot tub.

Wonderful 4 day getaway

We were lucky enough to pick this quaint place to stay in the woods of Bryson City. Not too close to the city and just right for a feel of freedom. A bottle of champagne awaited for me in celebration of my birthday! Owners Colette and Bruce made everything very simple and Michelle did a great job of having the olace ready. Will stay here again if we are in the area.

David and Jessie review

Hey Colette, we enjoyed our stay at your place. The pre-built fire was very generous and great to experience. Enjoyed the hot tub. Simple place but had everything we needed and was clean. Two small things that could help would be: first somehow better marking entrance or giving a note in the listing about google maps error. It had us go up the road further and we missed the entrance the first time around. Second would be to work on the lock of front door. It was difficult to get it to lock. I had to hold the handle open for the dead bolt to engage. Small things. But enjoyed it and hope the property brings you many more renters
