The house is very clean and has plenty of amenities. We enjoyed the fire pit, hot tub and the kids had a blast playing pool. The kitchen was had all the utensils to cook breakfast for the 8 of us. The beds were also comfy. I would highly recommend this place for a great place to stay on your trip.
This cabin was perfect for our family getaway to Bryson City.The location is great, conveniently located to town, but secluded with mountain views.Spacious living area, plenty of games to play both inside and out, and the upstairs room was perfect for the kids.The hosts provided us with a welcome packet with tons of suggestions for things to do in and around town, responded right away when one of our family members had a little trouble finding the place, and had clearly labeled instructions for how to operate things around the house (fireplace, hot tub).
We really enjoyed our stay, I had most of my family with us including 3 grandkids, my in-laws, and my dogs so we had plenty of family time. The cabin worked out great for us and everyone had a great time. The pool table and kitchen got the most use and the kids enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit area. Great family vacation. Nice home.
Awesome cabin that’s close to everything you would like to do. Our family loved the convenience of the layout. Wonderful host that was always making sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely stay here again.Tracy
Family trip to explore quieter side of GSMNP. Good location close to town and trailheads. Mountain bike opportunities at Fire Mountain and Tsali. Owners easy to work with, clear instructions through the property - very accommodating.
This place was perfect for our family of 6 on our Polar Express trip. Easy access to downtown Bryson City, but far enough away to get that great isolated mountain home feel. Definitely recommend.
We spent the weekend here and couldn’t have been happier. Everything was well thought out and well communicated. The house, backyard and deck are spacious and comfortable. This house has a lot of love, and you can feel it. Thank you, Sue!
It was a GREAT family place to stay. It was clean and comfortable and plenty of room for us to spend some time together. Our host had even already set up a Christmas tree for us to enjoy. We will definitely book again.
Owners were very accommodating, communicated well, and I highly recommend this property. Beautiful sunrises. Quiet and peaceful. Plenty of space for the family. Full of things to keep the kids entertained! Very convenient drive to downtown Bryson City. I would recommend!
This place is beautiful and spacious. Perfect for two couples, an infant, and our dogs. We had a great long fall weekend with the hot tub and fire pit. Thanks to the hosts - they really made us feel welcome and made a great home for sharing.
Exactly as advertised!
Perfect for our family of 4 + 2 grandparents.
Comfortable and abundant living room seating.
Pool table offered great entertainment as well.
Bonus was it had kids plates and a high chair that we didn’t even know about when booking.
Close to town while still being a bit isolated, great combo. Would definitely book again!
The hosts are amazing! This is a beautiful property so convenient to downtown. Be sure to follow the hosts directions once you get to town. It is off the beaten path. Cabin is large, clean, and well appointed. Can’t wait to go back!
Was a very pleasant weekend. The home was amazing, it even had a pac and play, a high chair and a toddler play table and chairs. The beds very comfortable, the hot tub was much needed after a day of sight seeing. Which was planned with the help of the information provided by the home host. Highly recommend.
Very nice cabin with lots of room for the family. Very nice layout. Everything was very well organized. The host was very responsive to the questions I had. Location to town was very good. The advertised 5 acres is true but most of the acreage seemed to be above the cabin site. We did enjoy hiking up the cut road for exercise.
This home is beautiful! We had everything we needed except groceries. Well-equipped kitchen, hot tub, fire pit, horse shoes, games, towels & gas
Fireplace. Very clean. We had a question for the property manager that was answered very promptly. It’s a steep drive to the cabin but well worth it! We hope to be back soon!
This cabin was absolutely beautiful and the perfect size for our group of 10. We booked this cabin to stay since it was close to the polar express. The additional directions given by the owners navigated us through the mountain roads without confusion. Upon arrival, the cabin was clean and looked exactly like the pictures. As a bonus we got snow flurries out first night which made the trip even more special. Prior to arrival the owners communicated all check in directions hours before check in and cabin contained a book with additional house instructions. Everything was so convenient and well planned that we never had to contact the owners. This was definitely a memorable family trip and we will be booking again soon!
My family and I recently stayed at Sophie's Choice, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the moment we arrived, it was evident that the property was well-maintained and immaculately clean. The home itself was incredibly comfortable, offering all the amenities we needed for a relaxing stay.
The location was one of the highlights. Nestled in a secluded area within the Great Smoky Mountains, it provided us with the perfect escape from our busy lives. We enjoyed the peace and quiet, with the added benefit of being just a short drive away from Bryson City, Great Smoky National Park, Dollywood, etc.
Overall, our stay was fantastic. The combination of comfort, cleanliness, and a great location made it an ideal retreat. I highly recommend Sophie's Choice for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty Great Smoky Mountains and Bryson City.
