The cabin was beautiful, surprisingly spacious and comfortable, and very clean. The location was easy to find and very convenient to Cherokee. Easy check-in and great communication. Would defintely return here again!

Very cozy and comfortable house for a family of four. We enjoyed being so close to the restaurants and cafes in Bryson City and easy access to the Great Smokies! Brenda was very responsive when we had an issue, which was fixed immediately.

My girlfriend and I booked it with my parents for the weekend.Unfortunately I wasn’t able to make it due to an accident but my dad and his wife were able to get inside and really enjoyed their stay! Would absolutely recommend my dad had said and loved the fact he could walk instead of paying for Ubers downtown.Brenda was amazing and communicated very well and I’d definitely be back!

Absolutely beautiful. It is tucked away in the quiet woods away from the hustle and bustle of tourist areas, but it’s still just a short drive to all of them! The central location makes it an ideal “base camp” for all of your mountain adventures. The cabin itself is so clean and well-stocked. The host seems to have put a lot of thought into making sure her guests have a comfortable stay. It was actually cold and snowing when we visited, but the cabin was so toasty warm. Our host was attentive to making sure we had a great experience from start to finish and that extended to the day we left. There was no long checklist we had to follow before checkout which was very refreshing. It was so special to stay in this unique repurposed caboose. We are grateful to our host for being so welcoming and responsive. We are already planning our next stay for the summer! This place is an incredible hidden gem in the Great Smoky Mountains! Highly recommend!!!

The caboose was such a unique stay and was very close to the river. Beds were more comfortable than I had expected, and there was even a beautiful view of the mountains!

Thank you for a lovely stay! Such a great location to access the Blue Ridge Parkway or Great Smokies National Park. Would definitely stay here again for a future visit to the area.

We really enjoyed this Airbnb!! Brenda gave great recommendations on food and things to do. Also the location was amazing we were 10 min away from Cherokee Harrah casino and 10 min away from Bryson city (which we love). The bed was super comfy.

We celebrated our son’s first birthday at Brenda’s cottage. Beautiful views of the mountains and very walkable to coffee shops and restaurants. We hope to be back again!

We had a wonderful stay! The home was cozy and very comfortable, especially the beds. The snacks were a thoughtful touch, and we loved relaxing on the deck by the fireplace. The location was great and communication with the host was easy and responsive. Thank you for a great stay!

Wonderful stay 6 minutes from local casinos. Great breweries nearby (avoid the Angry Elk). Airbnb itself was stunning, charming, clean, and private. Could easily sleep 4. Host was proactive and fast with responses
