The house was clean and conveniently located near downtown. Plenty of parking for multiple cars if needed. Due to weather, we didn’t take advantage of the multiple sitting areas outside. We enjoyed that it was quiet, but we could be at restaurants or shopping if we walked 3 blocks. Bryson City is close to multiple entrances to the National Park for hiking if you don’t want to drive to the main entrance.

Nice out of the hustle place to enjoy the area. Easy walking distance to Bryson City downtown (such as it is). Lots of privacy. Gazebo is great for watching sunsets.My daughter found the secret code that bollixed the lock and locked us out, but Victor, the host, cut his shopping trip short and fixed it while we were on ours (thanks again). I picked here as a compromise between the luxury stay near Dollywood, last trip, and the rustic cabin outside Bryson City the trip before (not recommended), and because I wanted to stay in town. I would definitely book here again.Good price and no 4wd required.

Excellent location! This property is perfectly situated, making it easy to explore downtown Bryson City on foot.The house itself is just as impressive. The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped, making it easy to prepare and enjoy meals. The bedrooms are cozy, and the beds are incredibly comfortable. Everything was exceptionally clean, and the home was thoughtfully furnished with everything we needed—just bring your food!The fire pit and grill were wonderful additions that made relaxing in the evenings even more enjoyable. Parking was convenient, and the host’s communication was outstanding from start to finish, going above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Bryson City.
