Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was great. Very convenient location. Our grandkids enjoyed the hot tub. One bedroom unfortunately had either ants or termites crawling in from the ceiling, but the rental agency sent someone out to spray and that appeared to solve the problem. We recommend this house to others

Mediocre, NO WIFI, we had a student who need to do assignments and family in hospital, no phone serv

The property was cute and good size. Owner cheaped out and stopped wi-fi; caused serious issues for us! We expext a sustantial refund! Even mgmt wasn't aware of wi-fi being disconnected.The tv was on sattelite and went out every time it rained (every day) Management was good, homeowner shouldn't be so scrimpy as much as the property costs.

Mountain trip 2024

The house was great! Worked well for our needs. Very spacious and cool layout. Kids loved making smores at night. Close to all places we wanted to go and explore. The grill didn't work for us but that is the only thing that was wrong. Great place!

Perfect GSMNP Getaway

Had a great time staying at this home. The kitchen had everything we needed and the hot tub was perfect. The location was an ideal jumping off point for visiting the national park and very close to restaurants in Bryson City (there was also a grocery store very close).

Wonderful house

We loved this house! Beds were so comfortable. The hot tub was great. There were tons of games and toys for the kids to play with. The area was close enough to town to be a short drive but far enough away enough to be secluded and private. We had to contact the rental property once about the electric fireplace but they responded so quickly and came and fixed it. He was so helpful and very courteous. There are lot of extra space heaters, tons of towels and lots of little extras that make the house even better! We will be back and cannot say enough great things about this house!
