This cabin is so cute! Very clean. Hot tub is amazing especially after hiking. The trip into Rocky Mountain national park is easy. Lovely views from Kuwohi and the alum caves. Bryson city for ice cream and souvenirs. Scary drive at night to get to the cabin. So many stars! Great way to celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary.

My husband and I enjoyed a relaxing, stress-free get away together. Everything about this property is perfect - far enough out of town for privacy but close to many area attractions. The cottage is immaculately clean and stocked with anything one could possibly need. Colette is an excellent host and promptly responded to any questions and anticipated others before we asked. The hot tub just outside the door was lovely. An added bonus is that the property is pet-friendly. We like having the option to bring our dog with us next time we visit. All in all a great property with wonderful caretakers.

We have nothing but GREATNESS to say about this entire experience with the cutest cabin, very private space, clean cabin, nice hot tub & well kept property we stayed in! 1st time in Bryson City And wasn’t disappointed with our overall vacation! This is a MUST STAY CABIN & to know they’re working on a 2nd cabin on the same property makes you want to book either of these cabins & visit Bryson City more than once!

Excellent tiny home property and host in Bryson City

Perfect little mountain getaway/hideaway just minutes from downtown Bryson City, NC. This property is 5 acres of pure, natural mountain landscape with a beautiful and awesome tiny home on it. The tiny home was just like a one bedroom apartment. It also had a private hot tub outside on the side deck. My wife and I enjoyed this property rental very much. The there were many features that we enjoyed about our stay, but our favorites were the actual tiny home, hot tub, fireflies and the seclusion of the property. I also want to say the host/owner and caretaker of the property were amazing. It was very obvious they have much love and pride for the property. They made themselves readily and easily available and swiftly responded to all question and concerns. My wife and I would highly recommend this spot to any couples looking for a beautiful and quaint mountain escape near Bryson City, NC. Check it out! My wife and I would definitely book this spot if we visit this area again.
