Top Smokey Mountain Trains Museum Hotel Reviews

Experience comfort at Big Oaks Pointe, a charming 2-bedroom retreat.

8/10 Good

"Really enjoyed our stay, however, we think the description of property should be more transparent to tell guests that the driveway to the house is steep and an all wheel drive vehicle is highly recommended. We managed with our Buick Enclave but it was a struggle. I saw this info in the reviews but not in your description and wish we were more prepared for getting in & out of the property. Your directions to the house were confusing in that you mentioned going through an iron gate. There were 2 iron gates, and at first we went through the wrong one. It would be a good idea to put a sign for Big Oaks Pointe on the iron gate you are referring to in your description. Also, based on the description, our group (2 older couples) was expecting both bedrooms to have private bathrooms but this was not the case for the bedroom with queen bed. Another suggestion coming from the senior citizen perspective, a bath mat was missing in one of the tub/showers which made getting in & out of the tub a little slippery. We enjoyed the cleanliness of the cabin, as well as the peaceful setting. In the mornings we enjoyed our coffee while looking at the beautiful mountain views and listening to the Tuckasegee River. A little table on the deck to put our coffee cups would have been nice. The television in the living room no longer supports Netflix but we were able to find other movies at night to wind down. Overall, our stay in the cabin helped make our vacation a very pleasant and memorable one."

"This is by far the best home on VRBO. We were so completely satisfied with our stay. The home is stunningly beautiful, and has every thing you could need. I can’t thank these owners enough for sharing this stunning home! The host have great communication. Our only disappoint was that we had to leave!"

"Property was immaculate and well equipped (only thing that would have been nice would be a hair dryer). Great location to the train and easy walk into town. The BC Brewery was a few minutes walk and was great! Communication was a bit slow however could have just been me not being “techno”. Would definitely stay here again!"

Calhoun House Inn & Suites

Bathroom items, they are very thoughtful on having the supplies you need. Overall a very comfortable place to stay and within walking distance to Main Street."

"We thought based on the picture online that we would be in the front room, which was no big deal. The back room was perfect for us. There was an in room window unit air conditioner operating but the air-conditioning for the unit took until way after midnight to get down to 72. I could not feel any cool air coming from the vents in the ceiling. It ended up not being a problem the coffee at dolce was absolutely wonderful. We would definitely stay there again but we will make sure we get the Everett suite so we can be in the front next time. Thank you so much."

"Everything was great! My only negative...it has fresh towels and linens listed but we only had one towel each (2 people) for the 3 nights we were there."

Great New Downtown Tiny House 2 minutes to Smoky Mountain Railroad,dogs welcome

10/10 Excellent

"The cabin had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. There was a basket of snacks in the kitchen for us upon arrival! There is a pull-out sofa (which we didn’t use) and a comfortable bed in the bedroom. There is AC, and also 3 ceiling fans inside the tiny home and 1 ceiling fan on the front porch. It has a full size stove and a smaller refrigerator. There were plenty of towels for a bath and kitchen towels. There were full bottles of shampoo, conditioner & body wash in the shower and small bar of soap. The tiny home was well stocked and very clean. We would stay there again."
