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!

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.
8.0
Home was not as secluded as I would have liked. That's probably my fault for not being more investigative. House is up high but surrounded by many other homes.......along with dogs, barking dogs and visiting dogs. During the day and at night. I wasn't prepared for that. Love Bryson City so the visits there and lunches there made it an enjoyable time with my son and daughter.!
5.0
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.

This landlord was exceptionally available and helpful to answer questions. The driveway is extremely steep, so be careful with vehicles that are not 4-wheel drive. Very well kept and stocked property! We loved our stay!!

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!

We had a great stay at this property! Everything was as described. The home was clean and well equipped. Our family of six (plus our fur baby) had more than enough space. The views were great and we enjoyed the hot tub. Our little ones had a great time exploring the outdoor space. As to be expected with mountain properties, the ascent to the cabin is a bit steep and it would be ideal to arrive for the first time before dark but our 2WD SUV got the job done. Sue provides very detailed instructions, which come in handy. The hosts were very responsive, although everything was explained in detail ahead of time and great guides were provided on site so we didn’t have to contact them during our visit. Bryson City is a gem and this cabin made the perfect getaway for our family.

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.

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.

4.0
The home is beautiful and relaxing. It is very close to town which is very convenient. As for some of the cons. The home appeared immaculate at first but soon realized that just a basic cleaning of the home is done in between guests. We found remnants from previous guests such as candy wrappers, popped balloons, etc. Not a deal breaker, just kinda shocking as they recommend leaving a tip for the housekeeper. The neighbors are a little closer that I thought, but still pretty private. Great directions are provided, but is still a little tricky to get to. Overall, a great experience and I would stay there again.

5.0
Sophie’s Choice was the perfect gathering place for our family from 3 different states to gather and get caught up. We had everything we needed to prepare meals, enjoy each other’s company inside relaxing in the living room, playing pool plus numerous outside spots: fire pit, patio tables, hot tub, etc…
We had a fun day exploring Bryson City: lunch at PigsBarBQue was delicious and that’s the opinion of our experienced brisket and bar-b-que family chef, The Artsy Olive store in town is a must see - they have numerous types of olive oil, balsamic vinegars, sauces and spreads to sample and purchase:). A day tubing Deep Creek in GSMNP rounded out our visit.
The directions provided by owner are necessary and precise; the road may seen a bit extreme, hubby described final approach as a billy goat trail, but doable with all our non 4wd vehicles. Don’t hesitate to rent this beautiful cabin if you want the peace and quiet of being away from it all but close to town & attractions.

A great place to stay, everyone enjoyed the cabin.. A rough road to get to the house off of the main road. Everybody loved the pool table and hot tub. Thanks...

The hosts were very accommodating and communicated very well. Right from the very day I booked, I felt welcomed. Steven and Sue communicated several times before our check in date to make sure my group and I would be well taken care of. The location was great besides the last little bit to get to the cabin. But, they made sure to send us well written instructions along with the GPS that ensured we wouldnt be lost getting there. Once there the location was great for a private get away, thats also well within driving distance of anything you may need. Cabin was spacious, beautiful, and just what we needed to relax and get away. Hosts are very welcoming amd understanding. I definitely recommend this cabin if you are looking to get away with a big group in the Bryson City area.

We had a great experience the folks in town were friendly and inviting. The pool table was lots of fun. We enjoyed time in the hot tub. The experience on the mountain was great. Beware you will want a vehicle with all wheel drive unless you're ok walking up the drive way daily. We were worried the owner would be a bad experience because of all the rules but they were very kind and accommodating ( take care of the home) and you will also have a great experience. House is nice well maintained, comfortable beds and spacious. Overall great experience lots to do if youre ok with a little driving. We would love to return soon!

This was an excellent place to stay! Right outside Bryson City and a short drive to the Nantahala Outdoors Center. Was able to relax in comfort after a day on the rapids. The hosts made sure to communicate clearly and ensure a stress free visit.

Our visit was perfect. Our purpose for vacationing in Bryson City was to ride the Polar Express, which made the location of this property very convenient. The owners' communications were timely, complete and welcoming. The cabin is beautiful and comfortable. The amenities made relaxing as a multigenerational family easy and stress-free.

Even though it was the coldest it’s been in a couple decades the cabin was wonderful and we even had snow to make it a white Christmas! The cabin was clean, well stocked and the fireplace helped keep it warm when the temps dipped to zero degrees! Steve and I spoke a few times and if needed I knew he would have been accommodating. I highly recommend this cabin when you want to visit the area.

The cabin is absolutely beautiful and well equipped with everything you need. My only negative comment would the drive through the neighborhood to get to you location. GPS took us directly to the cabin but there are very narrow roads up the mountain. I still give the overall stay 5 stars!!

My wife and boys had a wonderful time, cooked hotdogs and smores on the camp fire, enjoyed the hot tub throughout the days and evenings. The boys loved that the Christmas tree was up. Just a overall wonderful place to stay for a getaway and for the polar express ride.

Our stay was just perfect! The home was very clean and had everything we needed. Loved the very large deck. The fire pit was great. Rafting, fishing, and Smokey Mountain Railroad were minutes away and yet the location felt very private and secluded. Five Stars! We will be back.

We had a great time at Sophie’s Choice. There were 6 adults and we had plenty of space. The kitchen is stocked with everything (pots, pans, knives, strainer, grater, dishes, etc) needed to cook and eat. Overall, the house was clean and in good condition. There were a few corners with dust bunnies and the upstairs shower had some grout missing but it was not a big issue. The beds slept great! The pool table was nice, a little cramped on some shots, but we were just playing for fun anyway. :). The hot tub was nice. It was very clean and well maintained. The outdoor grill worked but is older so the burners didn’t light and burn consistently. We were still able to cook some good grub! The grill is stationary because it’s connected to a gas line. The living room has YouTube live streaming service with the ability to log into your streaming services. For the most part, it worked well; however, the internet kept dropping so the viewing was not consistent. The owners have been very responsive through the booking process. We would definitely book again!
