A cozy getaway

We had a wonderful stay in the mountains. Super responsive host and the place was cozy and had everything we needed. We enjoyed our quick escape and look forward to booking again in the warmer months. Downtown Bryson city was a Christmas Hallmark scene- I suggest spending an afternoon there!

Best little gem in The Smokey Mountains

We came for our anniversary and stayed 6 nights. The home is so inviting and and is a very quiet area. After long days of hiking to waterfalls and explorig Bryson City, Cherokee, and Maggie Valley, it was great to come back and relax in the hot tub or by the firepit.

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.

Cozy very well kept property

Stayed for multi-day event and site has the necessary amenities. Property is one bedroom trailer but very well kept and quite. A little difficult to access and could use improved markings and lights as site is steep and has drop offs. Communications with owner is excellent and we would stay again.
