Good with a few knit picks
The house was beautiful. It had a very modern vibe, and felt like a new construction. They attempted to provide a whole slew of amenities from extra detergent for the washer, coffee above the keurig, shampoo and soap dispensers in the very nice showers all the way to bikes outside for guest use. We went for the polar express and the property is so close you can see trains and hear the music from the back porch. That was pretty cool. It's so close to all the downtown shops and eateries, walking is no problem. So overall, definitely a 5 star. Our knit picks. No baby gate for the inside stairs. Its a super tall, narrow (and very cutely decoated) stairway. It's listed as child friendly so I assumed there would be a baby gate and didn't bring one. They did have an attached baby gate off the back porch though. However, its too big for the opening so you can't latch it because it bangs into the house. The floors were swept, but we don't wear shoes inside and our feet and socks were super dirty within 15 mins, so I'm not sure when it was last mopped. I tried to dry a load of laundry and they were still super damp. When I checked the filter, it was literally an inch thick with lint which freaked me out because dryer lint is a huge cause of house fires. 1 ply tp. If that bothers you, be prepared to deal or bring your own. John Wayne was an amazing actor, but I don't like using his toilet paper. No house is perfect, but this one was way closer to perfect than most.

I feel like it’s brand new. There a few minor kinks to work out but it’s beautiful, clean, and very close to town and the owners were very friendly.

This was absolutely perfect. The house is within walking distance of shopping, dining and the train depot. It is beautifully appointed and pretty much everything was thought of. The beds are incredibly comfortable. Communication with the hosts was perfect. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Bryson City and will definitely stay there again if in the area.

Perfect location and town home!!
This town home was just PERFECT for our stay in Bryson City. It was just a few minutes walk to the town and to the train to ride the polar express. The location cannot be beat. The townhome was brand new and beautiful! They did such a great job with decor and it was well stocked with everything you could ever need. The bunk room was amazing with TVs in each of the 4 bunks, my kids absolutely loved it. The beds were super comfy and the hosts were very accommodating and easy to communicate with. We had the best stay and will definitely be back.
