Excellent location for our family weekend getaway on the Polar Express train! We enjoyed the close proximity of the house to downtown Bryson City. The beds were all very comfortable. We each enjoyed having our private spaces. The suite behind the house was super nice and cozy. Also, perfect for small children. My only advice is I wish it were pre-stocked with coffee items, and paper items such as extra toilet paper and paper towels. They could upgrade their coffee maker as it is outdated. Overall, our family had a wonderful stay at the bungalow and we plan to return next year and may even plan a longer trip there in Bryson City!

Good location on a dead-end street in a quiet neighborhood very close to downtown. Three adults spent 4 nights. House was clean and well equipped. Management provided a detailed area info guide which was very helpful. We had no problems and would highly recommend.

This is an older house, but it was clean and convenient to everything around Bryson City. We never walked to Everett St, but it’s definitely doable. Everything we needed was there in the house as far the stay. I only knocked a star because it is older

Wonderful!

We loved our time in this Bryson City home. My elderly mom was comfortable and the handles in the bathroom were very helpful. My adult sons had plenty of room to spread out for private sleeping quarters. We enjoyed our time in the living room and quiet front porch. Very clean!

The home was clean, the beds and furniture were comfortable. I stayed with a group of car enthusiast friends and the driveway was paved nicely and large. Everyone in the group loved the rental choice and its closeness to town.
