The cabin was nice and comfortable. It was well equipped and everything worked great. If we didn’t have touristy plans everyday, I would have been content to sit on the porch all day and listen to the sounds of nature.
Settler's Mountain is in a gorgeous setting and well located. The outside appointments to Pinery 5 are lovely. The front porch is a great place to sit, and there are trails on the property. The deck off the upstairs bedroom was a plus. We did not use the firepit but would have had we been there longer. The cabin is dated and there were a number of maintenance items that needed attention, mostly in the kitchen. We told the owner about these. The major detractor was the musty smell. Yes, the cabin is old and located in a damp area, but till we found the thermostat and turned the air conditioner down to 66 degrees, the smell was difficult to tolerate. A good air purifier and dehumidifier would help out with this problem a lot. The price was right but I am not sure I would stay in this cabin in the future. Luckily we did not have to spend much time inside.
Owner's response: "Bev, Thank you for your feedback we appreciate that you were able to appreciate the beauty and location. We enjoy sitting on the front porch and also walking the trails, after a long day the firepit is a must it completes the day perfectly.
We also appreciate that you shared your thoughts on what needs attention, we are always open to listening to others, you never know when a good idea turns into a great change.
Yes, the area can be damp, and turning on the AC helps with that musty smell, but we need to remember we are in the woods. We will consider your thoughts.
We do all we can for our guests, and if you'd like would welcome you back anytime. We will continue to deliver the 5-star experiences we are known for."
This is not our first trip to Settler's Mountain and hopefully, will not be our last! This cabin is perfect for a family......just wish the King bed downstairs was upstairs. It is rustic and comfortable, excellent access for the mountains and conveniently located to downtown Bryson City. Kevin was an excellent host...........had a small issue with WiFi which he resolved quickly. Going back in a couple of months and will be staying at Viewpoint where we have stayed before. I cannot say enough about how well the entire community is groomed and certainly felt safe.
The property was very convenient to Bryson City, Cherokee and Harrahs Casino. Cabin was clean with a super porch and rocking chairs. Drive up was little steep but we made it fine in a mini van. It is called Settlers Mountain with only 6 cabins on this mountain
