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!

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).

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!

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.

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.

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: If you are looking for a place to experience hiking, white water rafting, tubing and a peaceful place to stay, this is a perfect place. Our kids specifically requested this type of trip. we also added a day at Dollywood which is not too far away. We highly recommend the Bear Trot.
