The restaurant at the river was very good and a great convenience as we dined there all three nights of our stay. The prices there were very reasonable for dinner.

"This is like a camp ground of tiny homes. All units are unique I believe so it's important to understand the details of which one you're in which VRBO does not make it easy to understand. We stayed in Heroes Hideout which was super hero themed which was cool. We really only needed a bed as we planned to ride it motorcycle around to see fall foliage. We left for breakfast and came back after dinner. The unit suited us well. It has a bunk bead, RV toilet in it's own room designed as a phone both, and a small couch. . There was a sink and basic appliances. The main office is open 24 hours and they had all kinds of stuff to do and snacks to purchase. You do have to go to the main building for wifi. The location is pretty good being about 10 minutes from downtown Bryson City. We had a great time in the area and our stay at Gorgeous Stays worked out really well for a long weekend."
