10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay for a long weekend! Location was great and house was well stocked and clean."

Great New Downtown Tiny House 2 minutes to Smoky Mountain Railroad,dogs welcome

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and the beds were super comfy! Well stocked and everything we needed for a 2 night stay. Close to everything we wanted to do…downtown Bryson City, tubing and Cherokee. We will come back!"

River's Edge on the Water in Bryson City

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect accommodation for 2 adults and a dog. Great location, close to town. Very quiet. Perfect relaxing vacation. The only negative is the little futon/couch was very uncomfortable."

Experience comfort at Big Oaks Pointe, a charming 2-bedroom retreat.

8/10 Good

"Really enjoyed our stay, however, we think the description of property should be more transparent to tell guests that the driveway to the house is steep and an all wheel drive vehicle is highly recommended. We managed with our Buick Enclave but it was a struggle. I saw this info in the reviews but not in your description and wish we were more prepared for getting in & out of the property. Your directions to the house were confusing in that you mentioned going through an iron gate. There were 2 iron gates, and at first we went through the wrong one. It would be a good idea to put a sign for Big Oaks Pointe on the iron gate you are referring to in your description. Also, based on the description, our group (2 older couples) was expecting both bedrooms to have private bathrooms but this was not the case for the bedroom with queen bed. Another suggestion coming from the senior citizen perspective, a bath mat was missing in one of the tub/showers which made getting in & out of the tub a little slippery. We enjoyed the cleanliness of the cabin, as well as the peaceful setting. In the mornings we enjoyed our coffee while looking at the beautiful mountain views and listening to the Tuckasegee River. A little table on the deck to put our coffee cups would have been nice. The television in the living room no longer supports Netflix but we were able to find other movies at night to wind down. Overall, our stay in the cabin helped make our vacation a very pleasant and memorable one."

"Property was immaculate and well equipped (only thing that would have been nice would be a hair dryer). Great location to the train and easy walk into town. The BC Brewery was a few minutes walk and was great! Communication was a bit slow however could have just been me not being “techno”. Would definitely stay here again!"
