Very nice stay, extremely steep driveway. Could only rent this cabin with a SUV. Great location. Beds were good. Need a cover for the ADT alarm panel in the bedroom. It is too bright and like having a giant nightlight on, Did love the ring cameral on the front porch. Not sure how those work, but assume they can listen in on all conversations. Beautiful view so nice to sit on the front porch and talk with family but feel you are being imposed on with the camera picking up sound and motion. Overall gorgeous views and a nice place.

From the owner: "Thank you for the wonderful review, please come again!"
House was great. Plenty of room. The hot tub was easy to use. Location perfect and close to everything we wanted to do. Driveway to the house was very steep and in need of some repair.

From the owner: "Thanks for the review! We love the house and hot tub. It is so close to everything. The driveway is steep but exciting! We are looking to improve it. Hope you with comeback sometime soon."
The cabin is very secluded, with a beautiful view of the mountains. It has a great location to both Bryson City and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The driveway is not for the faint of heart, and requires four-wheel drive and a little courage. The cabin could definitely use a deeper cleaning, as there were still food crumbs under the table and around the stove. Dead ladybugs were in abundance, but they have a note explaining that they treat the ladybugs without success. The cleaning woman was still there when we arrived, and there were at least 50 dead ladybugs on the welcome mat inside the door before she even left. The furniture and beds aren't very comfortable. There's really no water pressure upstairs and nothing great downstairs. Both showers squeal like mad regardless of how much water is coming out. And there wasn't any room in the bear proof trash can for our trash, though in the checkout instructions they ask for you to place the trash in the bin outside. We had a little trouble with the door lock on the cabin, but called the property manager and that was resolved quickly. In general
From the owner: "Christy, thank you for the review. I have contacted the cleaning company with the issues and will have that taken care of. We have also had comments on how comfortable the beds are. We have just purchased "Above the Ridge" and will be staying there for the 1st time next week. We will check out all the issues. Thanks again."
Nice place to stay. Well stocked. Provided plenty of towels. Clean. Hard to get ahold of property contact. Locked out. We were given wrong code. Hot tub didn’t work. Finally fixed on our LAST night. Driveway is steep. Deck needs to be replaced. Not safe. Location is quiet and peaceful and far away from others so that was nice.

Hi Rachel, thanks for taking the time to review your stay. After reading your feedback, the homeowner wanted to share the following:
- We're glad our place was a nice place to stay and that it was clean and well-stocked.
- We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by our guest contact's unresponsiveness. Rest assured, we are taking steps to ensure this won't be an issue for future guests.
- The lock issue was due to a previous guest's mishap. Although our guest contact promptly replaced the lock with a new one, they overlooked programming it with the same code. We apologize for any trouble this may have caused.
- A wire in the hot tub somehow became loose and was tripping the breaker. Unfortunately, we were unaware of this issue during your stay. However, it is now fixed, and we have not had any other issues since.
- We did maintenance work on the deck in early September. All problematic deck boards were replaced, and the entire deck received a thorough pressure-washing and staining.
Once again, thank you for your valuable feedback, and we hope that you'll consider staying with us again in the future.
