This home was exactly what we were looking for during our time to see the Polar Express. The road to get to the house was no problem for us. We have an Armada but I could see where it could be a problem for others in the winter for the last climb before seeing the house. The view from the back deck is simply amazing and the whole house itself is cozy. The wifi did have some problems streaming movies but other than that it was just fine. Towels, shampoo, conditioner, bar soap (all dove), dish soap, sponge, paper towel roll, and one roll of toilet paper were all provided in case anyone was wondering. We had our own but just in case. We will definitely be staying here again!

Saw this property on VRBO. Looked nice, said it had gas logs, smoke free, remote. It was remote and the home itself is nice. When we first opened the door, we were hit immediately with a strong cigarette smell. The gas logs do not work, have never been lit. The shower floor was dirty and looked like it had not been scrubbed in a while. The oven has not been cleaned, black and caked food covering the entire interior. We contacted Vacasa about the smell and fireplace. They said they would put in a ticket. The fireplace was what sold me on the home. Never worked, had to wash the bed linens so we could sleep, aired out the house when we where there and used air deodorizer to try and get the cigarette smell out. My sinuses are still bleeding from the reaction of the smell. Will not ever rent this home again and will not ever rent a home managed by Vacasa. It is ashamed because the home itself is nice and the area is quite. Could have been a very enjoyable stay otherwise. I don't usually post reviews like this but since the response from Vacasa was so lacking, I felt it was necessary. Let us not forget the deck that has a couple of places where the wood has rotted through. Safety hazard!

This cabin is very clean. We really enjoyed our stay. It had everything you could possibly want and layed out very well! Loved the fire pit, and a swing area for small kids. Checking in and checkout was great! Would definitely stay here again

Very spacious and comfortable property, the deck was wonderful!
The drive up the hill is a steep gravel road, so a consideration for wintertime.

Really lovely outdoor spaces. The deck is phenomenal and we enjoyed the covered porch in the rain. The inside is exactly as pictured. The WiFi does not work. At all. This is problematic for those of us who do need to check in to work while on vacation and a HUGE issue to those who work fully remotely. The half mile up the gravel driveway wasn’t terrible. I imagine it could be done in a regular car.

We loved our stay at the happy top cabin. The cabin was very clean and very cute. We would definitely stay here again! Only thing was there was a huge yellow jacket nest under the back deck on the right side and my son and I got stung a couple times on our first day. But other than that everything was amazing!!

Nice clean secluded cabin. The driveway can be a small challenge but well worth it. Everything you could want while getting away. Will go back for sure

My family and I enjoyed our stay. The cabin is very quaint and location ideal - close to town but still feels secluded. The way the company communicates via text/call center isn’t something that impressed me. Two of the issues that I reported never got addressed. I’d certainly come back, but it would be nice to have a local in-town agency/contact person for assistance.

The cabin its self was perfect. The check in was a bit of an issue. We booked through booking.com but the credit card wouldn’t go through so we called the VACASA and had to give the number over the phone. They did say they were having issues with the online pay. We received a check in email with a gate code only; there is no gate. We had to call VACASA back at 9pm to get the code to the door lock which was no where in the email sent to us. This code is super long so make sure you have it written down. It would have been nice to if there were fire logs available for the outside fire pit. Being there for only one good real night we didn’t want to spend the money on fire logs. But again the cabin is nice only one small couch and two chairs in the living room wish it was two couches instead.

Words can not explain how wonderful this cabin is. This log cabin with one of the biggest wood decks I’ve ever seen will suit every need. Very quite and private, you have the whole top of the hill to yourself. You will not go wrong if you choose it.

Privacy, views, cleanliness
Lovely well maintained and equipped cabin. Very clean, deep into the woods but still near to Bryson for supplies. Perfect hideaway to clear your mind, the extra large deck allows your kids to play safe while you enjoy the nature and cold drinks. Thank you, we will definitely return.

I HIGHLY recommend this property! I have already sent the link to several of my friends and family. The property was absolutely spotless! The beds were comfortable and we loved that they provided linens. One less thing to worry about! The location was perfect. It was centrally located to everything we wanted to do while there. THE VIEW! Oh my goodness, it was better than I was imagining! We went in December so the leaves were off the trees and it looked like a few had been cut down to make sure visitors had the best view possible. We will definitely be going back!
