Quaint Bryson City Cottage w/ Smoky Mountain Views

'Buffalo Creek Guest Cottage,' a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom Bryson City vacation rental cottage, provides guests with an idyllic getaway amidst the Great Smoky Mountains! Enjoy all of the amenities of home after hiking in the Nantahala National Forest, rafting the Nantahala River, fly fishing, or simply driving through the scenic area. In the evening, prepare delicious homemade meals in the fully equipped kitchen and dine with stunning mountain views on the furnished deck!

-- THE PROPERTY --

Bedroom: Queen Bed

Follow the flight of steps up to this private and peaceful cottage! You'll certainly want to pause to take in the mountain view before stepping inside the 1,200-square-foot home.

Natural light illuminates the luxurious and sophisticated interior, creating a calming atmosphere, which you'll love returning to at the end of each day. During your downtime, watch your favorite shows on the flat-screen satellite TV or use the wireless internet connection to share photographs with your family and friends.

Keep the conversation flowing through the open-concept layout as you head into the fully equipped kitchen! Prepare satiating homemade meals with the help of modern appliances and ample countertops. Don't forget to utilize the gas grill during your stay! Dine inside at the quaint 2-person table or feast al fresco at the 4-person outdoor table. The scenic vista pairs perfectly with your culinary creation!

At night, watch the stars appear from the comfort of 2 rocking chairs! Finish the day with a glass of wine or beverage of choice before retreating inside to shower in the full bathroom. Afterward, head to the bedroom furnished with a queen bed, custom built-in clothes cabinetry, and TV equipped with cable for a peaceful night's sleep.

-- THE LOCATION --

Experience a North Carolina mountain getaway while staying at this ideally located property! During your stay, enjoy access to 'The Pointe,' located just 3 minutes from the cottage! Here, you'll meet fellow travelers while you cuddle next to the outdoor fire pit and cook out on the grills.

Outdoor enthusiasts and photographers will love the home's close proximity to exciting outdoor adventures! Plan a guided rafting trip with Nantahala Outdoor Center, located just 14 miles south, or head to Mountain Top to soar through the air on zip lines that offer 360-degree views of the Great Smoky Mountains. There's also crystal-clear mountain streams nearby for fly fishers to cast their lines into to catch the perfect trout!

Keep your feet on dry ground as you hike well-maintained trails including Lakeshore Trail, Thomas Divide Trail, or Noland Divide Trail, all located within 11 miles of the property.

Ensure that you bring along your mountain bike to hit the trails of the Tsali Recreation Area! This 42-mile trail system has been rated one of the U.S.'s top ten riding destinations. Certain trails are also open to horseback riders and hikers!

Treat yourself to a delicious meal at restaurants in Bryson City! Savor fine Italian fare at Pasqualino's or keep things casual at Guayabitos Restaurant, both located only minutes from the property.

Beautiful Mountain Stay!
This cabin in Bryson City was just as described and pictured! Very very clean inside, and made us feel right at home. The mountain sunsets were beautiful from the back deck. One of the neighbors must have a cat, he came and hangout with us on the deck but he was very friendly and made us feel right at home with our cat! The Ingles grocery store was very close and convenient. The drive up the driveway to the cabin is quite steep with a few turns, as expected being in the mountains but next time I will take our truck Vs our Mini Cooper because that car did not like the slow speed incline very much. Other than that I highly recommend this location to anyone! We will definitely be back!

Horrible!!!! DO NOT STAY HERE!
This place is a joke! The pictures are not accurate at all! These pictures look like they were taken 5-10 years ago! The instructions for check in are the keys are on the table and the door is unlocked. When me and my wife get there there is no keys and the guest contact will not answer or return any calls or text. I contacted him several times before finally saying screw it and leaving and got a hotel. Me and my wife did not feel comfortable knowing someone had keys that could have came in during the middle of the night if we locked the doors! Also the place was covered in dust and didn’t smell like it had been cleaned in a long time. The bed linings looked like they came from the goodwill and the bed looked like the floor was more comfortable! The microwave was broken and had a screen door handle screwed to the front of it! And also this is not a cottage it’s a one bed room apartment over someone’s garage… DO NOT STAY HERE! Also the guest contact has yet to respond on giving me any of my money back!

Mountain cabin get away.
The cabin was as described. It noted that you must be able to climb steep stairs to access the cabin. This is true. We are in our seventies and we were ok but I can see how some people might have difficulty. It was a beautiful cabin, private with very nice views. Very comfortable.

This is our fifth return to this beautiful retreat and no doubt we’ll be there again. The cabin is fully stocked with everything needed to cook in or grill outside on the deck. Should a grocery trip be needed Ingles, a large well-stocked store is a mile (+/-) away at the foot of the mountain. Cabin is well -appointed, clean with easy check in. The views are a highlight. We look forward to our next visit to this beautiful property.

The whole experience was very nice. The outside porch could use some lighting and be cleaned a bit more. The cabin itself was was nice, just musty smelling. I also, would let people know of the one way road in. And the wifi was not working and not fixed during our stay. But overall, was worth it!

Beautiful cottage in the hills, BUT ...
Spacious cabin with nice views located 5-10 minutes to Bryson City. Unfortunately attention to the inside is lacking. The lighting in the living area was such that you could not comfortably read a book. Half the lights did not work and those that did seemed to have 20 - 40 watt bulbs. Two "sofas" in the living room were very low and soft. They were actually day beds with cushions leaning against a bookcase or a wall, no actual support otherwise. The electric heater did warm the unit, but the thermostat sensor was about 10 degrees below the actual room temperature, thus a setting of 80 made it comfortable. (It snowed while we were there). Lastly, one of the working lights did serve to illuminate a portrait of General R. E. Lee. I would not stay here again unless updates have occurred.

This is our 4th time at this rental. The View keeps us coming back but that is not the only reason we return to this Quiet, out of the way, peaceful spot. It has everything you need to spend your time without leaving this cabin. Ingles grocery store is minutes away and so is Bryson City! Cherokee NC and Smoky Mountain National Park are a short drive! We will continue to visit this spot and I am sure if you visit you will not be disappointed! O and the little black cat is an added pleasure!

Disappointed At Some Things
Place was very clean and very close to everything. I supposed we should have read better, but we had no idea there were 16 stairs up to get into cottage. We are elderly and that caused problems. Should be said loud and clear. We only found portable electric heaters. The main heater in living room worked on and off. So house was chilly. Could not get wi fi to work. The user name and password did not work on any network. Couldn't get tv in bedroom to work. 3 day beds/sofas had no support so you couldn't get out of them. Again being elderly didn't help. Bathroom shower had plenty of hot water and great pressure. We wouldn't stay here again, mostly because of the amount of stairs lugging coolers and suitcases. This is not a place for older people.

pictures of the outside are a bit deceiving.
The cabin inside was very clean. Many light bulbs burned out including one above the stove and one in kitchen area. Shade needs replaced in living room as well as bathroom. No soap was left for shower and very little shampoo in the dispenser. Spice selection was very limited. No pepper at all and salt was the only available common spice. Grill knobs did not work and a burner was out. Landscape needs some work. Very dirty patio area including window areas. Trees need trimming especially along driveway to see the mountains. Weeds growing in planter pots. Many tubs of flower pots thrown in a pile in side yard. Most frustrating was the traffic in and out of the driveway all days and construction work in basement of cabin with compressor and nail gun. Somewhat frustrating and unable to relax. No information was provided about the pointe access.

Accidental Double Booking
This is not a bash! Just facts. We arrived a few hours after check in time and found that the host had repairmen occupying our rental unit upon our arrival and some construction/repair debris in the driveway. We were greeted a few moments later by the host's representative who apologized profusely for the mix up. We were assured that a full refund would not be a problem. Evolve was quick to address our situation and provide refund (with the exception of the VRBO fee, additional $100 to put towards our alternative lodging and a $250 credit for future rental through Evolve.com. We will be contacting VRBO to have that fee refunded also. Evolve was wonderful in making sure that we found a secure place to stay for the evening and making the refund process extremely easy. Sometimes mistakes happen and that's okay. We still managed to have a great vacation!
