We very much enjoyed our stay. A beautiful tranquil property. Everything we needed including for meal prep was provided. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends

This place was absolutely beautiful! Waking up to hearing the waterfall each morning was amazing. We enjoyed sitting on the porch listening to it each night and morning. Everything was clean with enough extras for anything you may need. Only thing I was not a fan of was the gas heaters but we made due! Will for sure return to this property if we are ever in Bryson City again!

This home is cozy, clean and comfortable! It is near Bryson City but private and secluded with a waterfall that is simply gorgeous!
Warm and toasty gas heaters, comfortable beds, great fire pit with plenty of chopped wood and kindling. Only complaint was that GPS (specifically Waze and Google Maps) didn’t match location precisely.

Close to places my family wanted to be near . Enjoyed nearby rafting and horseback riding. We enjoyed our stay. Feels private even though close to road . Some cleaning and tlc is needed . No central a/c . Several cobwebs and spiders inside .

The location of this home made for a nice quiet getaway from reality for a few days. We really enjoyed waking up to the sound of the waterfall every morning. If it had been a little warmer we would have loved to sit on the deck & have breakfast with a view. It was the perfect space for our lowkey vacation.

The cabin is very cute, secluded and off of a true mountain curvy road. We had to call for directions upon arrival because WAZE kept telling us the road to turn on was called something different than what it is. The owner was very sweet and understanding and guided us right to the cabin. The waterfall and property are AMAZING! This will definitely become an annual getaway vacation spot.

The other reviews are not exaggerating about the cleanliness/age of the furniture and appliances, the wifi is not great and I had no cell service. It feels more tucked away in the woods than the photos make it seem, and you must drive on long windy roads to go anywhere. BUT THAT WATERFALL. I have been coming to the Smokies since childhood and having your own creek and waterfall to enjoy was absolutely priceless. Once we went wading in the creek all the negative feelings I felt about the cabin washed away because I remembered why I was there. Not for a boujee getaway but to have fun with my family making memories! I miss it already and cannot wait to return. It was a little nerve-wracking chasing a two-year old around stairs and embankments but families with kids who are a little older could spend hours playing in the creek. They provided some DVDs but I would definitely recommend bringing some or backup entertainment (books, what are those?) for when it rains TV and wifi go away.

This place was great. One of the best vacations ive had. I admit, i was kinda hesitant about this place after reading some of the other reviews. But my daughter picked it out of a few choices I gave her. I ended up being very happy with it. I have to comment on some of the negative reviews I saw. First i want to say...this place is not fancy...and thats a good thing. But there is nothing wrong with that. The furniture and beds were very comfortable. Nothing wrong with the floors. I had a 3 and 9 year old with me and with them running around and playing... nothing out of the ordinary. There were spiders, but like my title said....the woods around the house are very thick, and theres a creek literally right next to the house....its expected. The only downfall about this cabin....theres no cellphone signal and the wifi was non existent...even sitting next to the modem. You would have a full signal, but it was still so slow you couldn't really do anything. Im guessing its satellite internet. I learned the hard way, you need to screenshot the entrance instructions before you get there😁 The creek and waterfall were amazing. I loved the winding road that its on and its just the right distance from everything. So all and all... I loved this cabin and will definitely be returning.

The cabin is very secluded and peaceful. The waterfall is amazing and made the trip worth it on it's own. I will definitely be booking this tranquil paradise again.

The waterfall was very nice, that's about all! None of the floors were level so you felt off balance all the time. The beds were uncomfortable, the furniture is wore out,, when you walk around upstairs the light fixtures
down stairs bounce🥴,this could be a nice place but it needs ALOT of TLC. The pictorisque view is the waterfall, because everything else is dirt embankment and fallen trees. It was definitely an experience!

Dog chases cars at the end of the street and for several hours the creek and waterfall smelled like fertilizer or fishy maybe from nearby farming or something
4.0
Great little place for relaxing by the waterfall. Creek runs right behind the cabin so you can hear it through out the whole cabin. Only draw back would be the furniture. Beds and livingroom furniture could be updated for those of us who want to just stay in.

The location is great and relaxing view. I would return to this property as it was spacious and what we were looking for.

We had a nice stay for the polar express! The waterfall and hot tub make this house! The house it’s self is just okay. Some updating, cleaning and fresh, new items are needed, but it has everything you need for a short visit. It is close (about a 15 min drive) to downtown Bryson City. The road to the house is very winding and steep, so be prepared. Overall nice trip and would come back in the summer to explore more.

Finding the property and check in were easy. Beautiful location and just far enough to be peaceful. Everything was clean and well kept. We were comfortable and cozy inside. Understand that while you have access to TV and internet that it is not going to be as fast as in the city. We got there just as the leaves were changing and it was absolutely gorgeous. Kitchen is fully equipped with anything you may need to eat, drink, and cook with. Great stay overall!

Overall we had a great time. Cabin could use a little TLC in upkeep. Waterfall and creek were bigger than expected which was nice. As listed had no central A/C, would get stuffy in some areas of the cabin. Kitchen was adequate for several meals we cooked and outdoor grill was nice. Hot tube and fire pit area was great.

Location away from everything which for us was nice.

Not as expected
Overall, it was a decent cabin. However, the cleanliness was not as expected from the pictures. The waterfall was the best part. There was an issue with small bugs and spiders also.

"Let your worries float away in the waves of the river"
We come to the mountains twice a year, normally to Tennessee, But this time wanted to go to North Carolina. We had rented this cabin before my Mom passed away suddenly this past March. She was supposed to go to the Blue Ridge Mountains this year with us for her first time on Vacation. We wanted something new and different. "Let your worries float away in the waves of the river" Nailed the description of this cabin. Serene, Picturesque, Comfortable, Relaxing, all around Perfect! You can sit on the porch and surround yourself with nature that only seems real in movies, Or You can open the windows of the master Bedroom and fall asleep to the sound of the waterfall pounding and flowing through the forest. Set very low on a mountain side, The temperatures never got above 72. The waterfall is an amazing feature that stands about 20ft from the floor of the breach. You can sit, stand and relax in the cool rushing waters and let your problems float away. My mom would have loved this place and we know it was the right choice to go and decompress and come to terms with her being gone. Our kiddos had an amazing time at the cabin and spent so much time in the water. The hot tub was amazing and made everything about this trip so soothing while we watched the firefly's buzz and sparkle in the sky. If you want seclusion, relaxation, and an overall place for peace and quiet, Look no further! You have found your destination for paradise! We will be booking again and cannot wait to be back! Thank you for making this place available for others to enjoy. It is very rare to have something so special, Unique and beautiful. And be willing to share it with so many people. We appreciate you!

Great cabin
We truly enjoyed our time at this cabin. Kids loved the waterfall and creek in the backyard. About 40 min to the Smokey Mountains and the city was super cute with a bunch of shops and restaurants.

All I had in mind for my 29th birthday trip was waterfalls, and this was beyond expectations. Picture the end of May: the mountains are lush with greenery and blooming flowers and you wake up to the sound of a waterfall outside of your window, and then you just put on your swimsuit and get in. It was like a dream. The waterfall is a fun climb and a refreshing cool off in the summer! The fall must be at least 10 feet tall and there are easily accessed little trail spots around it to get a view if you don't want to get in! We also enjoyed making smores by the fire in the fire pit next to the hot tub which everyone also absolutely loved! The house is beautiful but still very homey and comfortable and great for a family. We used one of the Roku TVs to watch a Disney+ movie together in the living room and with some buffering at the start it played through no problem, no one really comes to a cabin in the mountains for wifi but it was definitely enough for us and that really helped with the toddler! We loved Bryson City nearby for coffee and food and the Nantahala gem mining spot nearby was a blast for everyone. The property contact was perfect, check in and check out all smooth and such a joy to have available they were very responsive when we had questions about roads and such. We all agreed we would absolutely come back here again and how everything had blown away expectations. This property is so unique and truly a special gem, my new top pick stay for this area!

This was a great location for us to spend a few days hiking in the Smokies at various trail heads. Nice to make our own breakfast and relax by the waterfall and return at evening and soak in the hot tub.

For starters, this place is a WELL-maintained hidden gem. It's right outside Bryson City on Hwy. 28 and it is quiet here. The rooms are spacious and well furnished with closet space in each. The bathrooms were clean. Everything we need to cook was found in the kitchen. It was cold in the first part of the week and the fireplace heaters kept the cabin plenty warm and the rooms. The beds were comfortable due to the thick memory foam on them. Extras include the hot tub, gas grill, and firepit (with a stack of supplied firewood).
But the main reason we'll come back again will be for the BEAUTIFUL waterfall right out the living room doors and the master bedroom window. Way too cold to go in on our trip, but may come back when it's warmer to plunge longer.
A few things we did: Bryson City downtown (most things closed Mon-Tues); Great Smokey Mountain Railroad, Dollywood, Franklin thrift stores (Reach), and some gem mining.
Make sure you grab some groceries and enjoy taking it easy at the cabin and enjoy the serenity!

This place is a diamond in the woods. The waterfall is so much more amazing then we expected. You can open the windows and listen to the peaceful running water. The living spaces are great with everything you could need. Definitely one of the most enjoyable places we have stayed.
