I will give this place 10 stars for location and cute insides. We were very disappointed in the WiFi that kept buffering. There isn’t a view. An abandoned trailer sits across the road. The neighbors were loud and riding an ATV up and down a muddy hill next to the trailer. The insides are adorable with a bear theme.
This is a very cute spot. The inside was homey and decorated so adorable. You had everything you could need. The couch and beds were extra cozy and soft. We had plenty of room for our family of 4. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars was location. It’s about 15 minutes from the polar express train and the surrounds were a bit sketch, but overall we would stay in this trailer again. Thanks for hosting us!
We came up from Georgia to spend a long weekend fishing, the property was the perfect spot for us. It was clean, private, and a reasonably priced. We had a great time!
The perfect place to stay for rest and relaxation! We really enjoyed sitting on the porch! EVERYTHING you needed was there! Thank you for sharing your mountain retreat!
Exactly as the photos show. Nicely decorated and very clean. Host was easy to contact and very helpful. He provided information on local waterfalls and we were able to see several during our stay. Would definitely stay here again if we are ever back in the area.
This is a really cute and nice place to stay at. I highly recommend coming to this place. If you have Verizon you'll have no Wi-Fi. Luckily she gives you the Wi-Fi and password.
The host responded immediately when we were slightly lost! It was a nice clean place. It’s nice having 2 bathrooms, but the primary bathroom is open to the sleeping area making the use of the bathroom quietly during the night difficult!
Super cozy house in a nice quiet area only about 10 minute from Bryson City. The most incredible view only 3 minutes down the mountain. (Photo Attached) The place was very clean and the AC blew ice cold! We stayed 6 nights and would love to do another week if we had the time. We will definitely be back! If you are looking for a nice quiet place in the hills look no further!!
It was great until one of the neighbors at 9 pm in the dark set of either very loud fireworks or was blowing something up. It scared us to death. It shook the entire trailer. And it was so dark outside that we could not see where it was coming from. Maybe install some security lights that come on at night at each end of the trailer.
We've never been to a cleaner rental or hotel room, seriously, in our many years of travel. Huge kudos to your cleaning service, they really deserve a raise. And happily surprised at the complete supply of everything we might need in terms of dishes, appliances, soaps, etc. We were just a bit bummed at having virtually no wifi or cell signals, even for your TV. But it's probably the whole area outside of town, as we realized we could also barely get a signal down at Ingles grocery store.But overall very satisfied.
