A cozy getaway
We had a wonderful stay in the mountains. Super responsive host and the place was cozy and had everything we needed. We enjoyed our quick escape and look forward to booking again in the warmer months. Downtown Bryson city was a Christmas Hallmark scene- I suggest spending an afternoon there!

Exceptional Stay
Our stay in this tiny house was exceptional! As first-time visitors to Bryson City and the Polar Express, we were delighted with our experience. We strongly recommend this accommodation for families with young children, offering a convenient location in close proximity to Bryson City and the Polar Express. We would definitely stay again in the future!!

Wonderful 4 day getaway
We were lucky enough to pick this quaint place to stay in the woods of Bryson City. Not too close to the city and just right for a feel of freedom. A bottle of champagne awaited for me in celebration of my birthday! Owners Colette and Bruce made everything very simple and Michelle did a great job of having the olace ready. Will stay here again if we are in the area.

David and Jessie review
Hey Colette, we enjoyed our stay at your place. The pre-built fire was very generous and great to experience. Enjoyed the hot tub. Simple place but had everything we needed and was clean. Two small things that could help would be: first somehow better marking entrance or giving a note in the listing about google maps error. It had us go up the road further and we missed the entrance the first time around. Second would be to work on the lock of front door. It was difficult to get it to lock. I had to hold the handle open for the dead bolt to engage. Small things. But enjoyed it and hope the property brings you many more renters

Truly amazing
We had an absolutely amazing experience at this charming little house in the woods for our 14th wedding anniversary! The moment we arrived, we were struck by how quaint and beautifully maintained the property was. Everything was spotless, making us feel right at home. The surrounding acres of stunning land were perfect for exploring, and we loved wandering through the woods together. It was the perfect backdrop for us to recharge and connect with nature—and each other. Our host was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed for a memorable stay. We cherished every second we spent here and can't wait to book again for our next getaway! Highly recommend this hidden gem!

Best little gem in The Smokey Mountains
We came for our anniversary and stayed 6 nights. The home is so inviting and and is a very quiet area. After long days of hiking to waterfalls and explorig Bryson City, Cherokee, and Maggie Valley, it was great to come back and relax in the hot tub or by the firepit.

A week away with our toddler
We had everything we needed for a perfect, relaxing getaway. Our son loved exploring the secluded property and enjoyed roasting marshmallows by the fire. The kitchen had everything we needed and the bed was very comfortable. The property is close enough to Bryson City to enjoy all it has to offer, yet far enough to get away from it all. Overall the place was very clean and well kept, and the host was more than amazing.

Amazing place
I absolutely loved this little house. It was perfect for a couple. I love that it had a bedroom with a full sized bed instead of a loft that a lot of tiny homes have. It also has a full size bathtub/shower. The home was decorated beautifully and smelled amazing. The hot tub was one of the nicest ones I’ve ever had at a rental and the temperature was perfect (I worried about it being too hot for summer). I would definitely stay here again! I also highly recommend The Rice Wagon if you stay in Bryson City!

Stayed for multi-day event and site has the necessary amenities. Property is one bedroom trailer but very well kept and quite. A little difficult to access and could use improved markings and lights as site is steep and has drop offs. Communications with owner is excellent and we would stay again.

Tranquil setting
This place was perfect for me and my little dog. The hot tub and fire ring were my favorite. Everything seems new, and all was comfy, in good working order and very clean. Comfy bed, plush towels, good AC. I liked the quiet and rocking on the front porch, the stars were amazing at night from the hot tub! If you stay on the road going past the Cabin in about 10 minutes, you’ll come to the Alarka marina on Fontana Lake. I rented a boat and explored the lake. Bryson City was a 15 min ride the other way and offered shops and restaurants. The owner was very communicative, I will be a repeat renter for sure!! Perfect for a couple.
