Almost Just Right

Pictures are always a bit better than reality. There were a few issues that keep it from five stars. First, the queen bed (not the king in main) was NOT comfortable. Husband and wife kept rolling to the middle causing the husband to finish the nights on the sofa. Second, the gravel surface up the steep drive way was kind of a pain and not mentioned in the description. Third, the shower door in main needs repair. Finally, nice to have a grill on the patio, but it was not clean and not to appetizing to cook on.

Disappointed

Unfortunately we were very disappointed with this property. We were led to believe by the many reviews, and the listing that it was cleanly, and just an all around great house. That wasn't the case. It seemed like someones lived in house that we rented out. There were toothpaste under the mirrors in the bathroom, dust, dirt and public hairs all along the base boards, cob webs in the house, fruit flies in kitchen, porch not cleaned off, sticky note left about their shower door not working, locks are extremely weird and do not make you feel safe, counters were dirty, floors were dirty, stove dirty, bug poop on the floors, not clean smell when you walk in, fridge was dirty, dirty blinds, unknown stains on the crown molding throughout the house, random stains on the toilet seat...just to name a few issues. There was also a locked door/room/closet inside the master bedroom that made us extremely uncomfortable. We never saw the 10 acres, and never saw instruction on how to explore it all. The donkeys, fish, and chickens made the stay a dream for our toddler, but for my wife and I we were extremely disappointed. We also stayed during hurricane Helene and not once were checked on by the property owners...very strange. We are NOT ones to leave negative reviews, but we didn't want anyone to have to experience that we did...not sure if they just dropped the ball with cleaning this time, or what...but we were very disappointed.

Wonderful Stay!

We stayed with our two teenage kids and they absolutely loved the farm animals! The home was cozy and had a beautiful view of the farm right out the huge living room windows. We enjoyed our nights on the patio, playing board games and watching for the fireflies. Owners were very easy to get hold of with any questions we had.

Nice and quiet place

We really liked the place. It was quiet and big. The view out of the living room is tremendous. While it is surrounded by trees it is rather dark in the house, althought the pictures at VRBO show a very light house.

Great property

The house was cozy and spacious, clean and well cared for. We loved taking a walk in the property to the small fish pond to feed the fish, as encouraged by the host. Our girls loved it! They loved the games and the twin size beds in the “kids’” room. The view from the front porch is gorgeous!

Nice view

Nice view. Super steep gravel road leads to this cabin. Asked about Kleenex and was told “we don’t provide that”. So I guess you need to bring your own ( not a problem, but felt the response was a bit rude).

We enjoyed our stay at the Bryson City Ranch. It fit our family nicely and was a lot of fun! The house was clean and had everything we needed. It was a great place to retreat to after a day of fun in Bryson City.

Peaceful Paradise

The home was lovely and comfortable, met the needs of our family of four! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this clean and well stocked home. We spent our evenings on the porch enjoying the lovely view! The home was located near Bryson City and very convenient to local attractions. The only drawback was that the driveway was very steep and our Toyota Camry struggled a bit going up. Other than this, I give this five stars all around!

Relaxing and Peaceful

The property was as listed in VRBO. We enjoyed feeling like life had slowed down. The fish enjoyed our bread a lot. We saw a turtle, rabbits and deer. The landscape was beautiful and the house was well taken carried of.

Great stay

The house is well equipped; except for the coffee maker, I would have liked the option of a drip machine rather then pod style. The person on the phone did get annoyed at our phone call for the password to the door, it was late. Well stocked home, beautiful view, would definitely stay there again.

Smoky Mountain Vacation

We enjoyed our stay at this peaceful property. Highlights included watching it rain one evening on the front porch and feeding the fish in the pond. The property is off the beaten path but the directions provided were helpful. Our 4x4 vehicle came in handy. Some supplies were limited like clothing detergent/ tissues. We provided some of our own. Overall, we had positive experience at this property.

Nice property

This was a great home base for our quick trip to Bryson City and the Deep Creek hiking and tubing area. The location was just what we wanted - close enough to downtown Bryson City to visit that area as often as we wanted but remote enough to let us enjoy the natural landscape and some good old fashioned peace and quiet. The property was well appointed and comfortable. The view from the front porch was wonderful. The kids enjoyed feeding the fish in the pond and even rescued a box turtle who wandered away from the woods up the driveway. And even though we didn’t need the hosts to address any issues, it was good to know that they were nearby. We would definitely stay here again.

Cute Little Farm House

We were very happy with the house and property. Everything was clean, tidy and comfortable. The house was well equipped and stocked with all the necessities we needed. We enjoyed feeding the fish but did not see any horses. The only issue we encountered was with the smart TV - we were able to login to our accounts but whatever we tried to watch would not load or buffeted so much that we gave up. We weren’t too sad though because our teens were forced to talk to us more. Thanks for a great weekend!

Quiet house in a lovely little town

We travel somewhere new every year for our adult friends vacation. Bryson is a quaint little town. We rode the polar express (in out PJ's) this was so much fun. We experienced Darnell Farms Christmas lights and hay ride. Shopping downtown Bryson and a trip over to Cherokee NC. The house was clean and very well stock with essentials. This house was very quiet and although the owners live on the property we never seen them. The house does have all bedrooms on one floor. No stairs to climb. Actually a total of 3 steps to get into house. Over all a great time had by all.
