Fun for kids and adults alike! Surrounded by great food, fun activities, and beautiful sights. The cabin is cozy with plenty of blankets, board games, and front and rear patio. Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Asheville are about a 1.5 hour drive away. The hot tub feels great after hiking in the Smokies and the fire pit out back is a great spot for making Smores.

Winter Break

Sam’s communication was great. Very accommodating when our plans changed. The oven quit working one night but came back on the next day. Could use an update on cookware too. Hot tub was perfect. Would recommend and stay again if available.

Wonderful Vacation

We booked a quick trip to Bryson for a small vacation and to visit one of our favorite areas. From the moment we booked until the moment we checked out, Sam, the host, has been nothing but wonderful. Upon arrival, the directions were straightforward and easy to follow. The house was beautifully cleaned and welcoming. The house had everything we could need! The hot tub was a treat, and I loved the porch swing. We didn’t get to do a fire this time, but the nights were chilly and the house was nice and warm. This was definitely a wonderful vacation for us and the pup! This is one of the first places we’ve ever stayed at that is pet friendly and doesn’t smell like pets! I know that sounds strange, but as a pet owner, we notice!Before checking out, Sam was wonderful and sent a quick refresh guide on their process for checking out! We definitely will be staying here again!

Just right!

Our time at this cabin was wonderful. Sam has done a great job making this place comfortable & accommodating. There was a large, covered back deck with a roomy table, gas & charcoal grills. Our family had plenty of room with the 3 bedrooms. I appreciated the two double beds in one of the rooms so our grandchildren each had their own bed. There were soft blankets available bedside the fireplace for snuggling on the comfortable couches. The hottub was great & we enjoyed the front porch swing as well. The beds were all comfortable as Sam has them covered with pillow top mattress covers. We found the kitchen well-equipped with another roomy table where we played cutthroat Uno with the grandchildren. The cabin has 2 1/2 bathrooms. The only drawback I can think of is that it’s 15 minutes from Bryson City, but that wasn’t a problem for us. We rented a pontoon boat & tube at the nearby marina on Fontana lake & thoroughly enjoyed it. We can’t wait to go back!

Felt Unmaintained

The property itself is located in a very remote location- didn’t realize how remote… not a problem for most, just something to be aware of. The property itself felt unmaintained - lots of spider webs on the porches (killed a few), toilets had hard water stains, strong campfire smoke smell inside the house (which, is partially expected because there’s a fireplace inside the house), and the master shower head was broken. The upstair bedroom with two beds were so noisy. Not all of the beds had mattress covers. Overall the property has potential, just needs some attention.

Quiet Private Setting

This cabin has everything needed. Setting is very private. Had to get used to small, winding mountain roads but GPS got us in & out with no problem. Hot tub is great! Used everyday after hiking! Dogs enjoyed the area too! Had internet & streaming Smart TV. Only drawback was service cutting in & out but that may be a "mountain thing" because could not get 5g on phone. Phones did work, though, Very enjoyable stay.

Very nice and peaceful with great views

My husband and I came here looking to have a peaceful mountain trip and to get-away from the congested, hustle and bustle of the Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg area. This was perfect. Bryson City is a quiet, but fun little town and is also conveniently located 15 minutes from Cherokee, which is also a quiet but fun little town with things to do. We really enjoyed seeing elk walking in downtown Cherokee. Truly an experience. This side of the mountain tends to lean more towards seasonal things. So if you plan to bring kids or if you want more outdoorsy things to do, come between March and November. I noticed that a lot of outdoor things were closed down during winter months. But for us, the slow down was just what we needed.

Our Polar Express Cabin Fun!!

My husband and I brought our 4 year old granddaughter to spend the weekend and ride the Polar Express in Bryson, NC. The cabin is lovely, view breath taking but drive has some narrow roads! Please arrive before it is dark and it is much better. It is located in the country about 10 miles from the Polar Express. We would come back!!

It was okay.

First of all, the property inside was very clean as was the hot tub on the front porch. We were 4 adults & 2 kids. The house could use more dishes (plates) & eating utensils. Since it could hold more people than we had & we didn’t have enough dishes or utensils, so we were washing constantly. Please watch your kids around the property, our 7 year old grandson out walking with his Mother was approached quickly by a German Shepherd & the dog bit through his shorts. He was terrified the rest of the night! All in all, we had a great time with the family & The Polar Express train ride. We strongly feel that the VRBO rental is overpriced.

Cabin in the mountains

The epitome of a cabin on the mountain! Great space for 4 adults and 1 child. Everything very clean. Bath towels nice and soft (a big thing for me). We will look to stay here again.

Family getaway

This cabin was just what my family was looking for when it came to our weekend escape to the NOC for some rafting. When we pulled up to the cabin after a beautiful drive through the mountains, we were greeted by coziest little cabin in the woods. The kitchen was well equipped for meals, and the open floor plan allowed for us to enjoy socializing while cooking. Everything was clean and accommodating. The bedrooms were also very comfortable. Little touches like a cabinet full of board games made our evenings extra fun. Sam, the owner, was extremely communicative, making sure we had everything we needed. All of our stay was made easy, which is how a vacation should be; thanks Sam!

Nice home base for adventure travel.

We really enjoyed the property. We were looking for something spacious, near our multi-day adventures - but not too close to busy roads, NOC, or Bryson City. The quiet location on a hilside and the nice view were excellent. The host was helpful, and the property was exactly as described. Very enjoyable!

About the host

Hosted by Sam

Host profile image
I grew up in Florida and would visit North Carolina as a child which is how I picked a place to buy a cabin. I enjoy the quiet and being outdoors. I take pride in my home and I strive to make it a place guests will love as much as me.

Why they chose this property

I like the look of a cabin on the hill. Minimal exposure to neighbors, but not so desolate it would be scary! Also, being close to town and some neat points of interest is a huge plus!
