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).

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved cooking at this house and the huge island provided a perfect place for all our snacks and to set up the buffet for meals. The house was so clean, even the outdoor/screened spaces were well-cared for and spiderweb free, which is no small accomplishment! It feels secluded, but is very easy to find and so close to downtown.

Great house and location
House was perfect for our group of four - plenty of room, bedrooms. bathrooms and all very clean. Well stocked kitchen. Great location to Bryson City and Blue Ridge Pkwy. Management Company was very easy to work with and even called on Saturday to check in with us to make sure all was going well at the house.

Beautiful Cabin
We visit the Smoky Mountain National Park often and this was our first time staying on the North Carolina side of the park. Our family really enjoyed the cabin as it was close to Bryson City for groceries and food but still felt secluded. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. We were a little uncertain of our kids sleeping on the other side of the porch/breezeway but it worked fine and they enjoyed it. We were also close to Cherokee where we did plenty of shopping too. It was close to many park hiking trails which we really enjoyed as well. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely Cabin!
We had an amazing time at Bear Trot cabin. This cabin is not only beautiful but very clean and the layout is wonderful! There were only two of us, so we didn't use the other bedrooms but I can see how families or couples would enjoy the split plan. Between the main cabin area and the extra bedrooms/bathroom, there's a beautiful breezeway/screened in porch. Plenty of space and comfortable seating throughout the cabin. We didn't even need to contact anyone because everything worked perfectly and clear instructions were provided. Loved our stay and hope to return! Very close to Bryson City and Cherokee.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin is lovely. It seemed brand new. It was decorated beautifully and spotlessly clean. You can definitely see pride in ownership. The pictures don’t do it justice. It was well stocked with games. We played dominoes and backgammon in the evening. They even had corn hole. It was a great stay!
