About this property

Smoky Mountain getaway cabin Cedar Ridge

Location :
Located in the beautiful Alarka Highlands, Cedar Ridge is the perfect getaway for the family that wants to experience the peaceful seclusion only the Great Smoky Mountains can offer. Located a short thirty-minute drive from all the region has to offer- be it fine dining and shopping in downtown Bryson City, the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad, boating and fishing on Fontana Lake, white water rafting, hiking and more in the Nantahala Gorge, you'll be away from it all while still close to everything! Cherokee and Harrah's Casino and resort are within an easy forty-minute drive as well.

Exterior:
Tucked away high on the mountainside, you will enjoy breathtaking mountain views from the comforts of a large and breezy covered deck. The exterior is one of the best parts of the cabin packed with awesome amenities to keep you entertained. Enjoy the views from one of the quintessential wooden rocking chairs on the deck or take a calming respite in the hammock located in the corner of the deck. The deck is also equipped with a gas grill and charming bistro table set. The hot tub is located down in the beautifully manicured yard and perfectly displays the stunning views that surround you. Adjacent to the hot tub in the yard is a wonderful stone fire pit surrounded by plenty of bench seating for everyone. Placed in the corner of the yard is an impressive wooden swing to savor the crisp mountain air. Cedar Ridge has parking for two vehicles (4x4 or all-wheel drive highly recommended! The roads to this cabin are not considered 'Motorcycle Friendly').

Entry Level:
A welcoming open floor plan greets you as you enter the cabin with natural wood and high vaulted ceilings that provide a spacious yet comfortable environment. The living room is furnished with plush leather sofas and chairs that surround a beautifully crafted rustic stone fireplace with a large flat screen tv perched on the mantle. Adjacent to the living room is the exquisite kitchen equipped with gorgeous granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. Enjoy your culinary creations at the traditional dining room table or take it out onto the deck and enjoy al fresco at the bistro table overlooking the striking views. Also located on the entry level of the cabin is the master bedroom, furnished with a luxurious king size bed and en suite bath with a shower/tub combo, along with the laundry room with a washer and dryer.

Upper Level :
The upstairs is an open loft that is perfect for the kids, featuring two queen beds alongside a foosball table and card table for some entertainment. There is also a full bath upstairs equipped with a large standing shower.

Good trip!

Good house over xmas week! Good location to downtown Bryson City which is super cute. The house could use some curtains in the living room to block the sun blazing in in the morning. But overall good house

Perfect Mountain Getaway!!

We were planning a trip and stumbled across this beautiful property. The views were even more amazing in person and the house was very comfortable for our family of 5! All amenities were functional and the communication with the staff was excellent! Checkin and checkout were very easy thanks to the detailed instructions provided in advance. We will be booking with these host again!

Great location but cabin needs some updates.

The property company that manages the rental is fantastic. Very professional, very prompt. The location of the rental is excellent. The layout of the cabin is very good. But the cabin itself needs some updating. There were cobwebs in the shower stall. The kitchen supplies are a mismatch of leftover Utensil type stuff. The stove glass top would go off and on when trying to cook. The toaster oven doesn’t really work at all. We donate a 10 toaster we bought at Walmart. The fire pit stones are breaking off. The rocking chairs are sun beaten. When someone is upstairs, you can hear every step that they take.Overall, we enjoyed our time. But it would be nice if there could be some updating in the cabin.

Family vacation

We stayed here for a family vacation getaway to the mountains! It is mostly definitely out away from everything! The grounds keeping need worked-as in grass needed cut badly weeds were everywhere! Also we were given all the wrong information on WiFi! But as far as the house everything was great and in working order!

Good location and clean but not without faults

The good: Easy booking, a communicative management company, nice, secluded location with TONS of privacy and a quick, easy drive to downtown Bryson City. There was plenty of space for our family of 5 and the kitchen was well stocked with everything I needed. There was what seemed to be a new washer and dryer and overall, the house was very clean. We loved the porch, even though it was cold, we wrapped ourselves up in the hammock and read out there. The bad: Issue 1- One of the #1 things I look for in any VRBO, particularly in the mountains in December, is a working fireplace. Upon arriving on a cold, rainy Friday night, we immediately discovered either the fireplace didn't work, the pilot light was out, or they were out of propane. I called the office the next morning and they said they'd "try" to find someone to come out. Someone did show up- at 8 pm- while we were aboard the Polar Express (I did get a courtesy call informing me of their arrival) but they could not fix it. Issue 2- when my son used the upstairs shower, water poured down through the floor, collecting on the floor outside of the laundry room. There were plenty of towels to mop it up (and the washer/dryer handy to wash everything upon clean up). So all 5 of us used the downstairs shower after that, which leads me to Issue 3- no working bathtub. Having 2 little ones, I needed a tub to bathe them in. The drain stop would not work properly. However, a rolled up washcloth did the trick. Issue 4- Overall, the cabin was very clean, the floors were clean, bedding clean, etc. The top of the master shower needs a good scrub but if you are not tall, you will not notice that. Many dishes were really dirty, caked in grit and required a good scrubbing before use. Maybe a better detergent or a good cleaning of the dishwasher filter may help this. Issue 5- A cabin in the woods, no working fireplace, a big, beautiful porch in which you can sit outside, in rockers, and look at the gorgeous scenery and....1 extra blanket. 1 blanket for a cabin that sleeps 6 people comfortably? The pillows also need replacement. I did notice a stack of extras, but no pillowcases could be found. Overall, giving the cabin 2 stars because I am so disappointed by the lack of a working fireplace. It advertised a working fireplace and very little was done to try to fix this (showing up 12 hours after I called? When we checked out 12 hours after that?)

Little Piece of Heaven

We loved every moment at this property! Truly met all of our expectations. Well stocked, very clean and nicely decorated. Loved the hot tub and fire pit! Views are magnificent with sounds of distant creeks and small cascades are relaxing. About a 30 minite drive from Bryson City. 4-wheel drive important in winter weather. Very narrow road with sharp switchbacks. Beautiful drive.
