Beautiful view and quiet.

We enjoy Bryson City area with all the outdoor activities on the rivers and mountains. The ride up the mountain to the cabin is safe but once a day round trip was enough for us. Our family had a great time all was quiet and comfortable.

The cabin was near the top of the mountain and remote. Had wonderful views that pictures can’t do justice. You will find yourself taking the same picture off the balcony each morning because of how good the view is.

We loved everything about the blue bear cabin! 20 min from the Polar Express and other Bryson city fun. The home is perfectly set up for a small family to enjoy time in the mountains. The owners wear very curtious and emailed with answers to any questions very quickly!! Loved the Dutch shuffleboard game. Great place to stay!!
