Perfectly Peaceful Retreat!!!
I must first state that the photographs on the VRBO do not do the cabin justice! It is absolutely lovely! The owners did a nice job decorating and I loved all the special flair as part of the cabin's decor.
The cabin is located in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by trees. Mornings on the porch were wonderful, as the August temperatures were in the high 50s! There is ample seating options outdoors where you can enjoy the morning mist or birdwatch with a mug of hot coffee from their coffee bar. From our seats we watched a pileated woodpecker make hollows in a tree across the street, followed by a squirrel moving into one of the hollows later than morning.
I had been wanting to explore Bryson City, a part of NC that we had not yet visited, and because the night pollution app showed the area as being a good place to view the stars. The app was correct.
Though you feel like you are remote, you are not. The trees grant privacy. The town is not far. During our stay we hiked and went kayaking in Fontana Lake.
There are restaurants nearby if you do not wish to cook. If you choose to stay in and cook, there are grocery stores that have a great selection of fruits, produce, and whatever you need to meet your dietary preferences. The kitchen is completely stocked with cookware and utensils.
Would we stay here again? Absolutely!
