Relaxing and beautiful getaway
This is a place that feels like a home away from home - with some very cool perks. The waterfall and creek on the property sets the ambiance with both the sounds & views. The hot tub was wonderful for both cool mornings and evenings. Each bedroom has its own heater, window unit AC, ceiling fan, & tv. Windows open to the waterfall which is great. We stayed in October so we were using heat at night and no AC. The heat in the house is different in each room. We read the reviews about the mix of gas heaters in the house, and they are correct. The fireplace in the house should be avoided because the pilot light is so temperamental, we just had to go without heat in the main room on our last night. There are several notes on the fridge about not letting the pilot light go out - but no instructions to return it to normal operating order when (not if) it goes out. The WiFi was fine on the property despite what some reviews said. There were several different notes with 2 service providers and 2 passwords, so it is trial & error until you nail down which WiFi to connect. The reviews stated that cleanliness and spiders were an issue - we did not see a single spider or other bug while there, so happy to report that! Bathrooms were clean etc. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of dishes and utensils (beware cleanliness due to previous guests), Keurig, microwave. The big grill outside was a plus! Bring your own seasonings, coffee, etc. Host was easy to talk to via text for any questions.

Peaceful secluded paradise
House is tucked right off the highway (entry was a gravel/rut road but my charger handled it nicely). The house is an older home with rustic furnishings that were so cozy and comfy! The couch and chaise lounge were super soft. Bedrooms were all upstairs but the one we used was very comfortable. TVs all worked great and had a variety of Dish TV entertainment. We logged into the WiFi but didn’t find a strong signal and had trouble sending/receiving texts but we were ok with unplugging from the world for a few days. Kitchen was well appointed for cooking meals at home and the fridge/stove worked great. The weather was perfect for our trip but each room is equipped with its own AC unit and log heaters that I’m sure would keep anyone comfy if needed. The gas grill was clean and in working order. Hot tub was clean and amazing! The highlight of this hidden gem is the large waterfall/small creek right outside the door. It was beautiful and easy to get into to splash around. We kept the windows open to hear the mesmerizing sounds of the waterfall all weekend. Host was very proactive and message ahead to help with check in questions making the process easy. 10/10 would recommend for a private getaway into nature!

dirty & muggy inside - bad communication
The house is dirty and has cobwebs behind beds and furniture, leaking A/C units in the bedrooms, and a definite smell of mildew & mold in bedrooms and general stale stench in the whole house. Lots of moisture coming into the house from the waterfall. Wifi barely has a signal that dips in and out depending on the weather and there is no cell phone service. In the sitting areas there isn't enough seating and kitchen has bare minimal basics and odd dishware. Additionally, the property manager does not read messages when you book the property and is not responsive or responsible.

Private waterfall!!!
The property is fantastic! The waterfall is about 30ft from the deck and you can see it from the living room, kitchen sink, and master bedroom. The house is a little dated, but clean. There are window unit A/Cs and heaters in each room, but no central HVAC. The driveway may be a little tight for a larger vehicle. The hot tub was a bonus! Overall we enjoyed our stay.

This place was absolutely beautiful! Waking up to hearing the waterfall each morning was amazing. We enjoyed sitting on the porch listening to it each night and morning. Everything was clean with enough extras for anything you may need. Only thing I was not a fan of was the gas heaters but we made due! Will for sure return to this property if we are ever in Bryson City again!

Private Waterfall
This home is cozy, clean and comfortable! It is near Bryson City but private and secluded with a waterfall that is simply gorgeous! Warm and toasty gas heaters, comfortable beds, great fire pit with plenty of chopped wood and kindling. Only complaint was that GPS (specifically Waze and Google Maps) didn’t match location precisely.

This place was great. One of the best vacations ive had. I admit, i was kinda hesitant about this place after reading some of the other reviews. But my daughter picked it out of a few choices I gave her. I ended up being very happy with it. I have to comment on some of the negative reviews I saw. First i want to say...this place is not fancy...and thats a good thing. But there is nothing wrong with that. The furniture and beds were very comfortable. Nothing wrong with the floors. I had a 3 and 9 year old with me and with them running around and playing... nothing out of the ordinary. There were spiders, but like my title said....the woods around the house are very thick, and theres a creek literally right next to the house....its expected. The only downfall about this cabin....theres no cellphone signal and the wifi was non existent...even sitting next to the modem. You would have a full signal, but it was still so slow you couldn't really do anything. Im guessing its satellite internet. I learned the hard way, you need to screenshot the entrance instructions before you get there😁 The creek and waterfall were amazing. I loved the winding road that its on and its just the right distance from everything. So all and all... I loved this cabin and will definitely be returning.

Not so pictorisque
The waterfall was very nice, that's about all! None of the floors were level so you felt off balance all the time. The beds were uncomfortable, the furniture is wore out,, when you walk around upstairs the light fixtures down stairs bounce🥴,this could be a nice place but it needs ALOT of TLC. The pictorisque view is the waterfall, because everything else is dirt embankment and fallen trees. It was definitely an experience!

Great little place for relaxing by the waterfall. Creek runs right behind the cabin so you can hear it through out the whole cabin. Only draw back would be the furniture. Beds and livingroom furniture could be updated for those of us who want to just stay in.

Waterfall makes this house
We had a nice stay for the polar express! The waterfall and hot tub make this house! The house it’s self is just okay. Some updating, cleaning and fresh, new items are needed, but it has everything you need for a short visit. It is close (about a 15 min drive) to downtown Bryson City. The road to the house is very winding and steep, so be prepared. Overall nice trip and would come back in the summer to explore more.

Neat little mountain stay
Finding the property and check in were easy. Beautiful location and just far enough to be peaceful. Everything was clean and well kept. We were comfortable and cozy inside. Understand that while you have access to TV and internet that it is not going to be as fast as in the city. We got there just as the leaves were changing and it was absolutely gorgeous. Kitchen is fully equipped with anything you may need to eat, drink, and cook with. Great stay overall!

Cabin was a great location, finding it was a challenge at night, needs some directions in the check.
Overall we had a great time. Cabin could use a little TLC in upkeep. Waterfall and creek were bigger than expected which was nice. As listed had no central A/C, would get stuffy in some areas of the cabin. Kitchen was adequate for several meals we cooked and outdoor grill was nice. Hot tube and fire pit area was great.

Waterfall climbing in your own backyard!
All I had in mind for my 29th birthday trip was waterfalls, and this was beyond expectations. Picture the end of May: the mountains are lush with greenery and blooming flowers and you wake up to the sound of a waterfall outside of your window, and then you just put on your swimsuit and get in. It was like a dream. The waterfall is a fun climb and a refreshing cool off in the summer! The fall must be at least 10 feet tall and there are easily accessed little trail spots around it to get a view if you don't want to get in! We also enjoyed making smores by the fire in the fire pit next to the hot tub which everyone also absolutely loved! The house is beautiful but still very homey and comfortable and great for a family. We used one of the Roku TVs to watch a Disney+ movie together in the living room and with some buffering at the start it played through no problem, no one really comes to a cabin in the mountains for wifi but it was definitely enough for us and that really helped with the toddler! We loved Bryson City nearby for coffee and food and the Nantahala gem mining spot nearby was a blast for everyone. The property contact was perfect, check in and check out all smooth and such a joy to have available they were very responsive when we had questions about roads and such. We all agreed we would absolutely come back here again and how everything had blown away expectations. This property is so unique and truly a special gem, my new top pick stay for this area!

Waterfall Heaven!
For starters, this place is a WELL-maintained hidden gem. It's right outside Bryson City on Hwy. 28 and it is quiet here. The rooms are spacious and well furnished with closet space in each. The bathrooms were clean. Everything we need to cook was found in the kitchen. It was cold in the first part of the week and the fireplace heaters kept the cabin plenty warm and the rooms. The beds were comfortable due to the thick memory foam on them. Extras include the hot tub, gas grill, and firepit (with a stack of supplied firewood). But the main reason we'll come back again will be for the BEAUTIFUL waterfall right out the living room doors and the master bedroom window. Way too cold to go in on our trip, but may come back when it's warmer to plunge longer. A few things we did: Bryson City downtown (most things closed Mon-Tues); Great Smokey Mountain Railroad, Dollywood, Franklin thrift stores (Reach), and some gem mining. Make sure you grab some groceries and enjoy taking it easy at the cabin and enjoy the serenity!
