If you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of life and relax this is the perfect place. There is a fire pit along the stream and a hot tub on the deck. Looks like there were 2 other tiny houses on the same property but they are far enough away that you don’t really see the other guests or you could rent all 3 places if you wanted to have multiple families. ##### Stacy C.

About 20 minutes from Bryson City where you can visit all of the mountain excursions. There was a creek running through the property. My favorite part of the cottage was the bed swing on the front porch. We would sit there at night and listen to all of the bature sounds and the babbling of the creek. Wifi with multiple televisions so keep you entertained. A beauitful big kitchen with everything youd need to cook. Comfy couches and multiple sleeping areas. The stay was nice and the host was even better. Very eager to help and make sure we were taken care of on our trip. 10 stars! ##### Bridgette T.

We enjoyed our stay in this cabin! The hot tub -and fireplace were perfect on a chilly night! Everything was clean and well-stocked. The Christmas decorations were a nice touch! We had two couples and a 7 year old, and the room arrangements were perfect for our group. It was a little inconvenient to have just one bathroom at times, but we knew that ahead of time. Those with mobility issues should be aware that the only bathroom is on the first floor, and most beds are on the second floor. Not a huge issue for us though. This is is very cute little place, and we would definitely consider staying here again! Thank you! ##### Jennifer M. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cathy V.

Very cozy, and off the beaten path. Still close to a grocery store and a convenience store. The host was amazing. Very fast response time when we had a small issue with the fireplace. They had someone there in less than. 20 minutes. I would definitely recommend this rental, and would definitely stay there again. ##### Daniel R.
