WOW...WOW! I absolutely am at a loss for words (but, I'll try). My wife and I, along wirh two of our grandsons, just returned from a five-day, four night stay at this MAGNIFICENT cabin. If there were enough words to fully describe it, I would. The website pictures do NOT do it justice. Set in a beautiful location, this cottage had everything we could ever ask for! The area around the cabin was SO picturesque. The cabin was supplied with ALL the items one could/would want. Downtown Bryson City was so very close if we needed anything. We rode The Great Smoky Mountain Railroad, had a hot dog cookout on the outdoor firepit, walked around Settler's Mountain, and was just content to sit around rhe cabin and porch (including the porch swing) and enjoy the mountainside with its beautiful colored leaves. This was our second trip to the Kraft family's cabins (HOPEFULLY, it won't be our last). The owner, Kevin Kraft was so, so easy to work with...including the Evolve Travel team. Have I given enough cudos/kudos? Folks, this has NOT been a paid advertisement...just an honest review from a VERY satified renter! Thank you!
love the close by short trail, perfect for first thing in morning. house was clean and very nice, great yard and fire pit.
My wife and I greatly enjoyed another week stay at Settlers Mountain cabin in Western North Carolina. Our cabin had everything we needed and was was very clean. It was very cozy and loved sitting on the front porch.
In addition, Settlers Mountain is located near Bryson City, which is very close to so many attractions and activities. Whether it was hiking in the Smokies, visiting several historic landmarks, traveling to nearby Nantahala outdoor center, or just having a craft beer and listening to live music in Bryson City; it was all there! We look forward to our next adventure to the mountains of Western North Carolina, and staying at Settlers Mountain.
