Most enjoyed spending time on the deck with mountain views and beautiful forest surrounds. Easy accessibility to the NOC and Bryson City was great too. Cabin was well outfitted with all the necessities and very clean. The one suggestion for improvement would be more supportive beds/mattresses as we struggled to get comfy on those provided. Even so, overall had a lovely time and would return to the cabin. Thank you! ##### Desiree S. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley P.

Apr 16, 2024 #### Great little private cabin! My family and I really enjoyed our stay here! Very clean and cozy and all amenities:) You will not be disappointed. There is a gravel road up to the cabin that can be steep in spots so I would recommend bringing your awd vehicle just in case. Once you are settled in however, the cabin has tremendous views and there is great coffee shop about 5 mins from the cabin(cardinal coffee). Downtown Bryson City is about a 15 min drive so it's quite close with restaurants, pubs and shops for all different tastes. You will not be disappointed ! ##### Nick P.

The cabin is very quaint and location ideal - close to town but still feels secluded. The way the company communicates via text/call center isn’t something that impressed me. Two of the issues that I reported never got addressed. I’d certainly come back, but it would be nice to have a local in-town agency/contact person for assistance. ##### Meli L.

The deck is phenomenal and we enjoyed the covered porch in the rain. The inside is exactly as pictured. The WiFi does not work. At all. This is problematic for those of us who do need to check in to work while on vacation and a HUGE issue to those who work fully remotely. The half mile up the gravel driveway wasn’t terrible. I imagine it could be done in a regular car. ##### Tracy A. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Amber O. Dec 3, 2023 #### Amazing view This home was exactly what we were looking for during our time to see the Polar Express. The road to get to the house was no problem for us. We have an Armada but I could see where it could be a problem for others in the winter for the last climb before seeing the house. The view from the back deck is simply amazing and the whole house itself is cozy. The wifi did have some problems streaming movies but other than that it was just fine. Towels, shampoo, conditioner, bar soap (all dove), dish soap, sponge, paper towel roll, and one roll of toilet paper were all provided in case anyone was wondering. We had our own but just in case. We will definitely be staying here again! ##### Amber O. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Camilo G. Jul 21, 2024 #### Hilltop Cabin Near Bryson City This was a very nice and comfortable cabin located at the top of a small hill off the main highway just 15min from the great town of Bryson City and 10min from Nantahala Outdoor Center in the other direction. It has a great big patio deck with a nice view mostly surrounded by large trees. There was also a fire pit area we used and a grill we did not. Very nice stargazing spot on a clear night and we saw fireflies both nights we were there in the summer. Nice equipped kitchen area and cozy bedrooms. There were some larger tv screens available with satellite tv, but we did not use them. The washer/dryer inside were also very useful. As some other reviewers noted, the path up to this cabin is a bit of a steep drive up a gravel road with some bumps. We did not have 4WD or AWD and made it OK but our crossover did seem to struggle one time and this was without rain. Nice little coffee spot, Cardinal Coffee nearby too. All around great cabin for a short getaway near the Great Smoky Mountains. ##### Camilo G. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Byron B. Jan 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### Deceptive Listing: Indoor Fireplace hasn't worked for over a year!!! The gas lines are intentially disconnected so fire place will not work. I sent a video and pictures to VACASA (property management) and they did NOTHING for us. They said they sent this info. to the local property manager & owner and nothing was ever done even though they continually said they would send someone out to fix it starting on day 2 of our 16 day stay. We had to contact VACASA almost every other day for an update once no one showed up. For paying close to 3,000, we expect everything would be like the property listing description to be. We wanted a property with a fireplace and hot tube but found this property without a hot tube but it said in the LISTING TITLE and the FIRST SENTENCE OF THE DESCRIPTION that the fire place works!!!!!!!!! So we booked it looking forward to a working fireplace. VERY DISSAPOINTED that the fireplace didnt work while IT SNOWED during our stay. Vacasa never made an effort to make it right. I will never rent another place with VACASA. Also, general property maintenance noting: (decking boards need work, numerous major deep ruts in final driveway approach need repaired.) Kitchenware needs updating. American Flag holder was broken upon arrival and both (2) ourdoor grill propane tanks were almost empty at arrival. Large cold air draft under front door.We do not like making a bad review but this has been an ongoing issue with this property after talking with multiple people at VACASA during our stay. ##### Byron B. Stayed 16 nights in Nov 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Maureen K. Oct 18, 2023 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### Vacation 2 years overdue Saw this property on VRBO. Looked nice, said it had gas logs, smoke free, remote. It was remote and the home itself is nice. When we first opened the door, we were hit immediately with a strong cigarette smell. The gas logs do not work, have never been lit. The shower floor was dirty and looked like it had not been scrubbed in a while. The oven has not been cleaned, black and caked food covering the entire interior. We contacted Vacasa about the smell and fireplace. They said they would put in a ticket. The fireplace was what sold me on the home. Never worked, had to wash the bed linens so we could sleep, aired out the house when we where there and used air deodorizer to try and get the cigarette smell out. My sinuses are still bleeding from the reaction of the smell. Will not ever rent this home again and will not ever rent a home managed by Vacasa. It is ashamed because the home itself is nice and the area is quite. Could have been a very enjoyable stay otherwise. I don't usually post reviews like this but since the response from Vacasa was so lacking, I felt it was necessary. Let us not forget the deck that has a couple of places where the wood has rotted through. Safety hazard! ##### Maureen K. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jon W. Jun 3, 2024 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Our Worst VRBO Stay Ever - June 2023 - 14 nights This home was so bad that I felt compelled to review 1 year later. 1st, I'd suggest not renting a home managed by Vacasa of North Carolina. If you need anything, good luck. Even they admitted they are very understaffed in the NC market and are not responsive, even after sending over a dozen pics of the filth upon arrival. 2nd, I've never seen a more disgusting property than this. The reviews after our time say how clean the home was - that's because we spent our first night and next day cleaning the entire home, top to bottom, everything. Dog hair was everywhere - all the sheets, blankets, couch cushions literally had dog hair falling off them, hair coated inside the dryer, even the inside of the freezer! Blood stains on a duvet cover & pillow, many other bedding stains. Spent night & next day cleaning. 3rd, Wifi didn't work - Was told by Vacasa that internet was a metered package, so if someone before you uses a lot of it you won't have any. Don't consider if you need to keep tabs on work while away. Working from McDonald's isn't fun. 4th, Property is not maintained; Bathroom sink didn't drain & there's a review from 6 months prior stating it was inoperable, still hadn't been fixed. Damaged/rotted sections of wood on deck, including railings, made it unsafe for small children/pets. There's much more, just no more space for the review. Vacasa eventually refunded the pet fee, which is peanuts compared to time and expense of what we had to do to the home. Look elsewhere. ##### Jon W.
