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.

Cozy very well kept property

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.

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!

Anniversary Getaway

My husband and I love this property! We wanted to be secluded but still close enough to hike and have a short drive to Bryson City. The house was perfect for us! We had everything we needed. We enjoyed the games and puzzles for the one rainy day we had. The amenities were everything we were looking for. The owners were quick to respond with my questions. If you are looking for a small place to stay, that still feels cozy, secluded, but close to town-this is the place for you!!!!-you won’t regret it! We will definitely stay here again!
