Katrina and Christy are simply amazing. Their cabins are immaculate with everything you need for an enjoyable and fun filled escape. Paper towels, toilet paper, laundry detergent, dish soap, tooth brushes, linens, fully stocked kitchen ready for you to prepare those family dinners at your home away from home, and the list goes on and on. These two wonderful ladies leave nothing but a clean and stocked vacation rental ready for you to walk in and start enjoying your time away. If any issues arise they are quickly and professionally addressed. If you are looking for a true gem in a perfect location in Bryson City and close to many other nice areas, this is it. You can look at the rest but I recommend you book the best, The Blue Moose.

We loved our stay at the Blue Moose! Having been a guest at several short-term rentals, the best ones stand out for doing the little things well. Check-in was a breeze and communication was exceptionally fast. The listing description was spot-on. We loved how close to town we were (and to our desired destinations for exploring the area)—but we also felt tucked away, it was so quiet.As for some of those little things…- Robes and extra towels for the hot tub were a plus- Small toiletries in case we forgot anything- All the needed small kitchen appliances you might need on a getaway- Coffee maker that could accommodate K-cups and a full coffee pot (drip)- Wine opener and variety of dishwater/glasses for just about any need- Comfortable bed with plenty of pillows, which varied in density/plushness- Comfy chairs on the porch to watch the sun go down - Everything looked and felt super clean- Hot tub was great and already warm upon our arrival- Also, water pressure in the shower was great (you never know in the mountains)If you’re a couple looking for a place to serve as a base to explore the southern part of GSMNP, you should book here.Side notes: We like Bryson City over Cherokee, it is more homey feeling—so factor that into your decision. The Ingles in Bryson City had a better variety of items than expected for a small town—you can tell they expect a fair amount of tourists. And the best food we had our entire stay was at Bryson.Bakery—make sure to visit!

2nd stay here & location is perfect. We did enjoy the hot tub, sitting on the porch and watching fireworks on the 4th. Normally not having the best TV or WiFi connections would not be an issue. But my husband has very painful knees as he awaits replacement surgery. We came here to attend a music event in the evenings. During the day, our hope was to relax - watch TV, movies & rely on WiFi. We arrived late on Wednesday & discovered poor reception of TV channels. The next morning it was worse. I sent a message through the app. We tried to make do but became increasingly frustrated with no entertainment to pass the heat of the day. By Saturday (2 days) we had not gotten a response about the TV/internet issues. We decided to leave 2 days early. As we were packed and about to leave, I sent the desired message on the app & we left. Six hours later I saw that the owner offered to come check out the tv and WiFi issues but it was too late. I did not see this until we stopped in VA. I explained that we had been packed & about to leave when my msg was sent. I haven’t received another word or explanation for the technological issues we experienced! I know almost nothing about satellite TV but maybe the trees along the side of the house are blocking the reception? And some instructions for TV or WiFi issues would be great! We really could not enjoy any normal tourist activity due to mobility issues. We know the owners can’t help that, it’s our issue.

Hiking Trip

The neighborhood and proximity to the downtown area was ideal. The house was insanely clean which is the number one thing we care about. We had a lot of fun as a family playing the games that were provided. Thank you for all your keen attention to detail, it truly made a huge difference in our stay!

Beautiful cabin

The cabin was a great location. It was clean and beautifully decorated. It had everything we needed. Our hostess was great. As seniors, we would have preferred a matress that didn't sag in the middle; only a minor critique since everything else was perfect! Beautiful landscape too.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Blue Moose. Location was perfect, in town but felt like you were out of town. Check in and out was seamless. Everything was clean, stocked and working properly. Only complaint is, I wish we stayed longer!
