Perfect Get Away

Loved staying in a tiny house! It was perfect for my partner and me. Loved that it was pet friendly. The place could not have been cleaner or cuter. I was very impressed with the bathroom and kitchen area, roomy for a tiny home. The hosts were easy to communicate with and answered our questions in a timely manner. We will definitely stay here the next time we are in the area.This was our first time to stay in Bryson City. The downtown area is walkable and filled with cute stores and bakeries.

Great place with a view of the river and trains going by on the far side! Everything was very clean and comfortable!! Only minutes from stores and downtown so VERY convenient!! I would definitely stay again … just missing a few things that 5-star properties have. FYI … Small negatives that kept it from five stars included single roll of toilet paper (wasn’t a big deal to buy another but I shouldn’t have to - spend the 2 for a better experience), highway noise, kitchen was fine but could use a few more items, “pet friendly” but only a small patch of artificial grass to walk them and no room to roam, and super close neighbors.
Great view!
ONE ROLL, even though it’s literally on a holder for mor rolls! 🤦‍♂️
