Wonderful location and view
Spectacular view and location. The cabin was really good. Good kitchen unfortunately no drip coffee maker only k cups. Wifi signal not strong. It's a steep drive to the cabin. SUVs won't have much problem unless there is snow. For sedans it's possible if you have uphill driving experience.

Amazing long weekend
The views are spectacular! So high up the mountain that you can experience the sunrise and the sunset in the same day! Great location for fishing, casino, entertainment and food. But also a great place to cook dinner, eat on the porch and enjoy the outdoors!

Spring Break Get-Away
An excellent place to get away for a few days. Cabin had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Do pay attention to the road, it does require some skill to navigate, but then it is up the side of a mountain so you should expect that.

Gorgeous views
Very nice cabin with one of the most amazing views you can find. To get to to hot tub, you had to wear shoes and when they say you need a four wheel drive, believe them. But overall the place was comfortable and very nice to stay and I would do it again.

Beautiful home with an incredible view.
Beautiful home and the view is breathtaking from every angle. The home was clean and very well equipped. The drive up was a little intimidating the first time as an all wheel drive vehicle is needed. This home had the best view that we have had in 20+years of staying in the Smokies!!! We would definitely recommend this to all.

Great View
I liked the cabin, it had a great view and Hot tob was clean (even we did not have a chance to use it). Road was very narrow you would need a 4 X 4 in winter time. Cabin is cosy but not very big. Bathrooms are outside the bedrooms. Everything were cleaned except some of the pilos had yellow stain on them. I hope you changed the blankets and pillows to white so it show they have been cleaned with bleached. Toster where broken in one side. there where lots of pot in the cabin, but no cattel to make hot water for tea. Coffe maker were use K-cup, but there we did not know what kind of coffee we should take with us.

Great view but issues at the cabin
To start, the view is spectacular. That said, there were issues with the cabin and no one got back to us as they said they would. Oven did not work which added some stress to what was supposed to be a returning weekend. DVD player also did not work.

A FWD worked fine getting up the hill so long as you know how to drive. I would be a bit concerned if it had been raining as there were some iffy areas of the road where you could lose traction. Overall a wonderful location though the beds were a bit uncomfortable and worn. DVD player did not open or function. Not a detrimental factor to our stay. The hot tub needed a good cleaning as it did smell of must/mold we utilized the first night only due to this. Gorgeous views and close to many areas for a great week of adventures. A pleasant stay and despite the few minor issues would definitely make this trip again.

Wonderful family getaway
Went for a weekend getaway with the family. Had an amazing time. For sure get there in the daylight. We had to arrive at night and the road was scary but we made it šŸ˜‚ the view was magnificent the cabin it self we clean and felt just like home. My only complaint was the hot tub. It wasnā€™t very warm and it didnā€™t smell great but Iā€™m sure you have to have so many chemicals in it and it didnā€™t ruin anything for us. Still had the best time! Thank yā€™all very much!

Amazing views and cabin
My family of 5 (3 daughters age 16,14,11) stayed for 5 days and had the best experience ever. The views were absolutely breathtaking. The cabin was beautiful and had everything we needed. There was plenty of dishes and utensils in the kitchen, the bathroom had shampoo/conditioner/soap and even a hair dryer. There was dish soap, cleaning materials, laundry detergent, and beach towels for the hot tub. We even loved the unexpected hangout area in the basement! I donā€™t know where the previous negative complaints stemmed from because we had the most amazing experience ever. We even looked to see if it was open for two more nights because we didnā€™t want to leave. The small town of Bryson City is easily accessible. We only left the mountain a couple of times. I recommend checking out Mingo Falls and Cherokee NC while there! Such a fun town close by. The drive was intimidating the first time. We took our Jeep and Iā€™m glad we did. We are already planning our next stay! Very highly recommend this cabin!

Horrible service
The view was nice, there were major issues with the water in the house, and the hot tub was unusable for the entirety of our stay. We came to find out that Vacasa was aware of this before we even arrived but did not bother to inform us, and did nothing to fix it until after we wasted hours on the phone with their ā€œsupport.ā€ We were promised multiple callbacks that never came. They were defensive & argumentative, refused to accept responsibility for any of it.

Million dollar view BUT
This cabin has a beautiful view. Great location. BUT! The beds & pillows are very uncomfortable need to invest in ZINUS mattress. Inexpensive but very comfortable and great for rental properties. Listing should say fire pit but no were to set so guess can bring chairs. Need some TLC. Only one side of the toaster oven works. Coffee pot doesnā€™t keep the coffee hot. Both Bathroom showers faucets comes away from the wall when you turn on the shower. You canā€™t change the hot tub pass 99 degrees so itā€™s just warm water not a hot tube. For the price of the cabin it should have been better maintained.

Awesome cabin and great place to stay
The property was everything they said it was online, like a couple other reviews have said a portion of the basement where the washer and dryer are located is closed off for remodeling which is no big deal. Everything from kitchenware to blankets to towels, etc was well stocked. Plenty to do in the area, my only reason for not leaving 5 stars overall is strictly with the vacassa listing directions. It took us up Big Rocky's road first, well after the forever long drive to the top there was a locked gate nobody knew nothing about so we had to manage to turn around on a mountain trail basically and go back down and around. When you get to the other entrance (black forest drive) off of Laurel branch rd. It will want you to turn left at the first road you come to, well we went that way and after roughly a half mile there was a tree across the road and just beyond that another locked gate. So if it helps anyone, once you enter the "community" through the main gate, dont take the first left, stay straight and it will wind up and around roughly 1/2 mile to the cabin. We went up it a few timew over the week in a 4 cylinder 2wd gmc terrain, it did it but its tongue was definitelt hanging out by the time you get to the cabin. Otherwise everything was awesome, cant wait to come back again.

Do they really know this property?
I cannot stress enough how much hassle I received from the management company. I booked this many weeks in advance, yet on the day of travel they constantly texted me about the urgent need to sign something and threatened I might not be able to get into the cabin. The one time I could actually get to the electronic sign in, it required purchasing to sign. About the cabin: the hot tub was off limits, downstairs was under constructions, there were no outside seating for the "fire pit," smudges were all over the door windows and a thick layer of dust on the furniture (not the tops) and the upstairs bath takes about 30 minutes to drain; in other words, you wind up standing in water when you shower. One last complaint, I messaged the management company asking what kind of coffee machine the cabin had. In the middle of my stay, they answered the 2 week long message. They answered wrong. The cabin has both a drip pot (I found at the back of a lower cabinet) and a Keurig. This isn't on the list of amenities but if you are a coffee drinker, you understand the importance of knowing. But, the cabin is nice and the view outstanding. The drive up is harrowing but a car can make it. Best to travel it in daylight and this does place limitations on seeing the area.

Great view but...
The view is amazing from the deck and hot tub and it is great how secluded and peaceful it is on top of the moutain. The drive up while intermediating at first is not bad. The worst part is trying to back into the driveway as there is not a great way to turn around a large vehicle. We traveled with our two young children. We were well aware that that we rented a house on the side of a moutain so it would not be safe for our two year old to be running around outside. However we figured the deck railing would be in good enough shape to be able to let him roam freely. This was not the case, he was able to push numerous rails from exposing a wide enough gap that he could have fallen through. We also experiend the same issue upstairs in the loft area. The property stats that it does not allow pets but our 7 month old was coverd in animal hair after crawling on the floor and my wife who is allergic was having her allergies act up. We also found a couple of random nails laying on the ground in the downstairs bathroom which isn't a big deal except for having our young children with. We had decided after the first night that nobody was going to be able to enjoy themselves so the next day we reached out to Vacasa via phone and their chat with our concerns asking for either a refund of our remaining nights or a different listing. Both times we were told the local office would get back to us momentarily. After not hearing back from them we went and booked a different rental for the remainder of our stay. 2 Days later we finally received a phone call from a maintenance guy, (not even from Vacasa) but we were in the dark and had checked out and into our new place the day before already. Just bad customer service from Vacasa, I would never rent a property managed by them again. This rental could use some new beds and a better cleaning service. Would be fine for adults but wouldn't recommend if you have young children.
