Our stay was wonderful as we visited to ride the Polar Express in Bryson City! We had two families with five kids combined and were more than comfortable at the house! There was plenty of room but areas to divide up at the same time. The top floor did get bit cold at nighttime, but the hosts provided plenty of blankets and ways to remedy that. Stephanie and Matt were super responsive when I had questions prior to our arrival and helpful when they were able to provide an early check-in. Peaceful area that is close to everything if you need, but far enough away to avoid people/traffic! Would definitely stay again!

Had a bit of a hiccup early on in the trip and the owner was very eager to make it right. Beautiful area and home would definitely come again. Nice extra touches like marshmallow roasting sticks, firewood and toys for the kids.

We are a family of 9, all adults. We frequently rent a home so we can all stay together when we travel. This property was perfect for us. Kitchen is well-equipped, the bed were comfy and we loved hanging out outside. We enjoyed the firepit, covered outdoor spaces and just sitting in the rockers on the wrap-around porch. Would highly recommend this property for your family visits to the Bryson City area.

All we really did was use this as our place to sleep each night, but we had a really comfortable stay. 4 couples, each with their own room and full bathroom really made this stay feel luxurious. And divided 4 ways, its very affordable this way.

Perfect place to stay in Bryson!!

This home is WONDERFUL. Plenty of space, phenomenal outdoor areas, super convenient (yet still out of the way) location, and a top-notch, exceptionally responsive host. We are already eager to find time to return to Bryson City and stay at this house again. Thank you to Steph for answering all of my questions and providing such a fantastic home-away-from-home for our family's stay.

Absolutely wonderful place! You can’t go wrong renting Stacked Stone Retreat. Plenty of space to spread out. Every bedroom has its own bathroom and there’s another half bath on the main level. This was the most well stocked place I’ve ever rented. Kitchen has everything you could want and more. The landscaping and outdoor spaces are immaculate too. We enjoyed hanging out on the deck and watching the train go by. Only a 6 minute drive to downtown Bryson City. 20 minutes from Cherokee. Matt and Steph (owners) are very accommodating and quick to respond to any questions or needs we had. We can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful, Roomy Cabin

We rented this cabin because we came to Bryson City to ride the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad (GSMR). The depot was only five minutes away. This 4-BR cabin is very large and extremely nice. It has a large kitchen, roomy bedrooms and a porch that wraps all the way around the house. The gas fireplace is BEAUTIFUL! We liked it so much we are looking for a reason to go back and stay again. We really enjoyed the GSMR, too. If we ever go back, we will certainly try to rent this cabin again.
