An Unforgettable Stay – Perfect in Every Way!
We recently had the pleasure of staying at Poplar Lodge, and it truly exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the immaculate condition of the home and the thoughtful touches that made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The location was ideal, providing stunning views and easy access to Bryson City and Fontana Lake. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery each morning and ending our days with a relaxing evening on the porch. The cabin was spacious, well-decorated, and equipped with everything we could possibly need. The kitchen had all the essentials, making it easy to prepare meals, and the cozy living area was perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. What really stood out to us was the host’s attention to detail. From the soft linens to the well-stocked amenities, it was clear that they put a lot of care into ensuring we had an exceptional experience. Communication was seamless, and the check-in/check-out process was a breeze. We personally had the opportunity to meet Thurman and Freddie (the owners) and they are the sweetest people on the planet. Ginger was phenomenal and was always responsive before, during and after our stay. I highly recommend Poplar Lodge and Whispering Pines Deluxe Cabins to anyone looking for a perfect getaway. We can’t wait to return! Mike and Jennifer AUG 2024

Swain County Cabin Rental
Everything was exactly as described. Loved the remote / private feel to the cabin. Process for check in was easy, everything was clean and working. Communication with the owner / manager was excellent. They provided a GPS link that took us directly to the cabin (cant always trust GPS in the mountains). The only thinkg i would say is please note that the last 1/2 mile or so of road is actaully gravel road. Did not matter to us, we actually enjoyed the rough mountian road vibe it had (we were in our Jeep), but in case you are driving a low profile sports car, just wanted to share that. Your sports car will make it, just go easy.

Beautiful cabin
The cabin was just how it was listed. Beautiful and clean. I don't recommend doing much cooking as the utensils and space to prepare food is very limited. We were just trying to cook some eggs for breakfast and the pans were not in good shape. I needed a strong scrubby to clean before using and all I had was dish rag. The microwave over the stove is still non-functioning. I read comments from previous renters about the microwave and I really thought this would have been replaced before we got there. A small microwave sits on the very limited counter space. They have salt /pepper and that is all in the cabin. You have to bring everything that you need to cook with. I have stayed in many cabins and they have supplied Pam spray, spices etc. Its the little things that make your stay more enjoyable, stress free and memorable. The mountain view was very limited. The hot tub was nice but the jets were not strong. We really needed the jets after hiking all day. The place is very nice otherwise. Thanks for allowing us to stay at your cabin

Couple Get Away
My husband and I enjoyed our time exploring the Smokey Mountains and the Bryson City area. The cabin fit our needs perfectly and had everything we needed. We hiked, rented a boat at Lake Fontana, hung out by the Little Tennessee River near the cabin, and enjoyed eating/shopping in Bryson City. The driveway to the cabin is steep but manageable. I recommend doing all your grocery shopping on the way in and to grab a bag of ice. Once you get to the cabin you don't want to have to leave to go back into town. The ice maker worked but was a bit slow. Of course it was also hot when we visited and we like our drinks cold. The internet worked but only in certain spots in the cabin. The owners were quick to respond about any questions we had. Nice place to get away from everything and enjoy nature!

Poplar Lodge near Great Smoky Mtn Park
This beautiful cabin was well appointed, very very clean, great porch overlooking a mountain view, and pretty convenient to Bryson City and Smoky Mtn Park. For someone wanting privacy in a wooded mountain setting as we were, --perfect. The driveway to the cabin would be difficult for a low slung sports car. We really liked staying at Poplar Lodge and would do it again.

The perfect mountain retreat
We had a wonderful stay at Poplar Lodge. It was exactly what we were looking for to have a relaxing spring break. We really enjoyed staying on the North Carolina side of GSMNP as it was much more low-key and not nearly as touristy as the Tennessee side. Bryson City, about 20 minutes from the cabin, was a great little town. The cabin was exactly as referenced on the VRBO site. Our 6-year-old enjoyed the table games, time in the hot tub and star gazing (so many shooting stars!). The driveway into the cabin is no joke, and thankfully, our SUV handled both going out and coming in well (we didn't attempt it at night). We had some communciations with the owners throughout our stay, mostly around the fireplace pilot light going out on account of high winds, and everything was taken care of efficinetly. All in all, we highly recommend and can't wait to go back!

Long weekend stay
Loved the cabin, it’s secludedness, and how pet friendly it was. The cabin was very clean, and the fall decorations were a nice touch. The kitchen could have been more well stocked…there was no cork screw, a cracked measuring cup, a microwave taking up the already limited counter space (range microwave out of order), the light over cook top was not working, and mismatched glassware. The fire pit was also in almost unusable shape.

Fantastic cabin
We loved the Poplar Lodge! The cabin was spacious and spotless. The deck was a wonderful place to sit in the mornings or evenings and look out at the mountains and we enjoyed the hot tub several times, as well. The cabin is well-appointed, including a washer/dryer, modern kitchen and excellent showers. The decor and furnishings are whimsical and delightful. The cabin was spotless and the check-in and out was seamless. The road to the cabin is a steep, narrow dirt road and probably not the best choice for nervous drivers, but we become quite accustomed to it. Renters should be forewarned that there is no cell service at the cabin and the internet isn't great (don't expect to have multiple family members streaming Netflix), but that gave us more opportunity to play checkers on the porch, read, bbq and enjoy the hot tub. (There is television with a full range of channels.) The cabin is about 15 minutes from Bryson City and the Deep Creek entrance to GSMNP and another 15 minutes from the Nantahala Outdoor Center, which was perfect for us. We enjoyed hiking, tubing and a whitewafter raft trip with NOC. There is a large supermarket in Bryson City, as well as restaurants, coffee houses and brewpubs. A great place to vacation if you enjoy the outdoors. We will absolutely stay at the Poplar Lodge again on a return trip to Bryson City.

Peaceful Escape
We enjoyed our stay in this cabin thoroughly. It was one of the most peaceful places I have ever been. It is tucked away in the woods where we were able to enjoy seeing the wildlife. The cabin itself is absolutely beautiful. The craftsmanship was amazing. It was also very clean and comfortable and the hot tub was a plus. Not too far away is a great place to go kayaking or swimming. We also enjoyed fishing and hiking. Bryson City was easy to access for anything we needed. I highly recommend this cabin if you are looking for a peaceful getaway.
