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!

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!

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).

Great location! Our kids loved feeding the fish, which was a fun bonus during our stay. The cabin was clean, well-maintained, and only a few minutes from downtown Bryson City, making it easy to explore the area. The host was attentive, responsive, and made everything seamless. We would definitely stay here again!.

The entire experience was great.....from booking the house to actually arriving at our destination. The host was great through the whole process and providing easy directions to the house.

Beautiful house / great service!

We had a great stay up in Bryson City for the polar express! This house was perfect for our family of 4 - plenty of room. A great, quiet stay which worked well since both our kids nap.The owner went above and beyond to help return one of our kids loveys that we forgot. Happy kiddos and happy parents.We’ll be staying here again next year for the polar express!
