We had a wonderful stay! A large group of us went up (family including grandparents, cousins, aunts/uncles—15 total) to have a Polar Express weekend with our young kids. It was an easy drive to Bryson City—about 20 minutes. The house was perfect for our large group with plenty of nice bed rooms (including cribs, bunk beds, day bed which were great for the kids). The upstairs kitchen/great rooms were spacious and enjoyable, including fireplace and deck with great Mountain Views. There was also a nice large living area in the basement. Plenty of space for everyone. We enjoyed the hot tub, and the back yard area is fenced which is also a nice feature. We had a great time and would definitely come back! The only mishap was an alarm that kept going off, but I was able to reach someone easily and get it taken care of. Service is terrible (unsurprising up in the mountains) but the WiFi worked well.
