My experience was incredible! The views of the mountains are absolutely breathtaking, and the hot tub on the deck is an ideal place to unwind and take in the landscape. The cabin is incredibly cozy and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The beds are inviting, and the kitchen is stocked with all the essentials. The location of the Ridgetop Retreat is ideal for discovering the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Bryson City. The property owner, Troy was warm and welcoming, always ready to lend a helping hand and offered valuable information about the area. I felt very at ease in his presence and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations together.

Quiet retreat

Overall the property was okay. The driveway is difficult to navigate you have to put the car in low and floor it. We arrived 10 minutes before check in time and the house keeper was still cleaning the property, she was really sweet but didn't finish until 4:20 it was disappointing that it was not ready at 4. She did a great job and it was really clean. The hot tub had so much chlorine it bleached our swimwear. The grill was brand new and worked beautifully. The property was okay for the cost and had fabulous views.

Decent place for two people.

This was a decent place to stay the only issues I had were problems getting up the driveway took us 2 hours the first night getting up the driveway due to fresh gravel, the jeep kept slipping on the rocks, the other issue I had was the only heat in the house was a space heater which was okay just because we were in one room but if y ok had to stay in the other room you would freeze My wife and I had chlorine burns from way to much chlorine in the hot tub. There was the last people who stayed trash in the yard

Great retreat in the mountains

“Cozy Mountain Retreat - Highly Recommend!”Our stay at the mountain retreat was wonderful! The space was small, cozy, and perfectly nestled near nature and Bryson City, making it an ideal getaway. The hot tub, located just outside, was an absolute highlight—so relaxing and perfect after a day of exploring.While the AC wasn’t working upon our arrival, the ceiling fans kept the rooms comfortably cool, and there was a portable heater available as well. The host was incredibly communicative and helpful, which made the experience even better.If you’re looking for an affordable, cozy spot for a mountain vacation, this is the place to stay. Highly recommend!
