Weekend away

My fiancée and I were looking for an affordable escape from the city, and this cabin was exactly what we needed. While we initially hoped it would be a bit more tucked away in the woods, it was incredibly peaceful—and being right on the water was such a treat! The cabin was clean, cozy, and relaxing, and the host was super communicative throughout our stay.

Honeymoon

This place was immaculate. What a sweet little spot to stay in. Enjoy the ability to fish off the back porch and the location close to Town and the train was a wonderful stay. We enjoyed our nights there. Can’t wait to come back and stay again. Hope to be able to get this place again. It was just a wonderful little tiny cabin ride on the water and we loved it

Singing in the Smokies !

We stayed 4 nights in this property. Over all it served our purpose well. My over all complaint was the old recliner needs replaced with something newer. But property was clean and very usable for our purpose. We will stay again

Central to everything we wanted to do.

Property is cozy for 4 adults. We enjoyed our stay, host was responsive in a timely manner. There was a mama and 2 babies in the birdhouse on the deck, we enjoyed watching them at feeding time.

Serene but noisy

The property was very clean and had all you needed for a short stay! The tiny houses are extremely close and the road noise is alittle much but it is what you expect from a campground.

Cute cabin on the Tuck

This little cabin was perfect for a weekend. The back porch faces the Tuckasegee River and it’s the perfect spot to have your morning coffee. The only complaint I have was that the window AC unit didnt quite cool the bedroom, so fans and leaving the bedroom door were definitely necessary. Other than that, we had a great stay!

Cabin by the River

April 3-6, 2024. My husband and I and our two dogs enjoyed our stay at this cabin. Listening to the ducks and the rolling of the river was just what we needed for a short get away. Easy to get too and very close to Bryson City. Would definitely recommend this cabin by the river. Roy & Debbie Kings Mountain, NC

A good stay

The cabin was magnificent and clean. Fully stocked. Not sure how it sleeps 6 as there was 1 queen bed in a bedroom, and a matress in a hot loft for children? Views and location is great for Bryson city, Cherokee and surrounding areas. The deck with the River was magnificent. Stunning. Communication was good except after stay. There hasn't been any since. No thank you. No refund on cleaning dispite leaving the cabin clean. Not sure what is going on afterwards. The location of the cabin is in a campground with other similar cabins/tiny homes units in very close proximity to the cabin. The other half of the campground is RV park,moderately upkept.

Perfect little creek side tiny house cabin for a Polar Express visit in Bryson City. ONLY 5 Minutes from the train station. Wonderful little porch where you can see and hear the train travel through several times a day. This was a girl’s trip and there was plenty of room for the three of us. Did not cook using the stove but used microwave for quick eats. Little coffee maker was great. Compact fridge was perfect for a couple day stay. Heat gets SUPER HOT but feels great with a cracked window. SUPER COMMUNICATION from host!

THIS CABIN NEEDS UPDATES

the cabin needs a deep cleaning. Sheets,blankets. and towels need to be upgraded and cleaned. Most of the light bulbs need to be replaced. The back deck was damaged during the storm and is unsafe. the parking area needs gravel or pavers. we had to walk through mud to ge into the cabin. when we arrived no one was there to let us in the cabin. We had to ask someone to call the owner. After forty five minutes to one hour we finally able to get into the cabin.
