This place was absolutely perfect! Close to Sylva (which, by the way, is one cute Town) and anything you might enjoy doing in the mountains! We will return, for sure.

Place was nice but could be improved.
They were nice enough to give us a discount since the internet did not work. There is a very small TV and it didn't get ESPN and other basics. The cabin is nice but needs some TLC. For instance, there is an outlet in upstairs king bedroom that isn't attached to the wall. Other outlets have similar problems. There was a nail sticking out of wood flooring on the stairs inside. Ouch! Needs better pillows and the so called pullout was a disaster. Yard keeping was lacking too. This cabin has so much potential.... Overall, it was a nice quiet place and our family did have a good time.

Great cabin in the mountains!
We stayed here for a wedding that was at The vineyards at Betty’s creek - we were so close to the venue, which was perfect! The cabin was great but was a bit tricky to get to. I recommend getting there in the daylight! :)

We saw bears, and couldn’t have been more thrilled!!
Blackberry Ridge was a fantastic Great Smoky Mountains base camp for our stay. Picturesque & super comfortable, we really enjoyed the porch, hot tub & firepit (my daughters appreciated the great roasting sticks for our s’mores sessions). Our first afternoon at the cabin we were treated to the sight of two bears moving through the hill below the cabin. The dry leaves alerted my wife to their presence and we could just make them out from the deck. I came around the driveway and got a great look at them as they headed down the road, pausing to give us a look before they went on their way. Wildlife aside it was a wonderful location for our 4 day visit. We headed off to hikes in and around the park & enjoyed coming back to the cabin, cooking dinner together & some great family time in the evening. (I will say the Monopoly game desperately needs another dice, as playing with just one clearly gave my wife a strategic advantage she somehow leveraged to clean the board with us).

Decent Stay but a few misses
I left a similar private note to the business on the Airbnb review. But there were a few issues we had during our stay. The WiFi was very bad. I even reset the router and only got .4 mbps internet speed which is super super slow. Luckily we had decent cell service so it didn't effect us too bad. Also there was no sponge for the dishes or coffee for the coffee maker. Had cleaning dishes extra hard and waking up in the mornings harder. Lastly the heat coming from the HVAC was blowing cool air. We set the thermostat to 70 and had the heat on but it only blew cool air. Luckily there was the gas fireplace to warm the house or we probably would have frozen with the winter storm. Everything else was great but a few Moses for sure

Great cabin but no real view . Beautiful forest though . The gas fireplace was not working. Maybe no gas ? Florida folks were chilly in the am . Everything about the cabin was wonderful . Directions to cabin need to be revamped. Directions need to be more explicit.

The cabin was breathtaking. The views were awesome. The fireplace and hot tub added the rIght ambiance. The owner definitely has all bases covered. Just be mindful that the road up the hill is very challenging for a car

Our Stay
Our stay here was amazing! The property was in excellent condition! We had a couple minor problems, but none that kept us from enjoying our stay. The only major concern was that the fridge did not stay very cold, so make sure you have a cooler on hand.

Great option — but lots of bugs!
I give this stay 5 stars overall, as it had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend getaway. The only drawback was that we weren’t able to take advantage of any of the outdoor amenities because of the overwhelming amount of bugs — yellowjackets and spiders, to be specific. I know it’s the mountains, so insects are to be expected, but it seemed as if there may have been a yellowjacket nest somwwhere close by. So, while we were disappointed we could not enjoy outside comfortably and safely (the deck, hottub, nor fire pit), the indoor stay over the weekend was lovely enough to make up for it!
