Start your Smoky Mountain getaway with a visit to 'At the Hala,' a lovely 3-bedroom, 2-bath vacation rental in Bryson City. After you enjoy the scenic mountain drive up to the cabin, settle in for some alpine relaxation with a soak in the hot tub or curl up in front of the cracking fireplace as the evening chill sets in. Nearby, you can enjoy an out-and-back hike on the famed Appalachian Trail, embark on an unforgettable whitewater rafting trip, or explore the shops in downtown Bryson City.

I spent time researching places near NOC, but not the unbelievable crazy prices of the NOC nice cabins (not the rustic ones). Some of the places on vrbo said cabin but in the end they were multiple units connected advertised as "cabin". This cabin is a cabin on its own and in a beautiful setting.Related to the other reviews - Yes this place is up a gravel road and pretty high up - that is how you get such an amazing view. Also keep in mind what the area is and the other options. This is a gem in comparison to what I saw online and what you see driving around. And the hot tub was clean - but any hot tub that has trees near it will get little leaves etc. blown into it. I had a friend "work from the cabin" upstairs while I drove my son up and down the from the cabin to NOC multiple times getting my kid back and forth from activities at NOC and then back and forth from Kayaking with Carolina Bound Adventures. It takes 9-11 min to drive down from the cabin from NOC. Also I brought with an air fryer to do steaks and s'mores Bring what you need. Also there is a nice fire pit. I saw wood for sale off that main road NOC is on. We just didn't want to mess with it. Also this place had more things to cook with - dishes, pots, pans etc. than many of the Gatlinberg Cabins I have stayed in.

Perfect location for our outdoor activities between Lake Nantahala and Bryson City. Secluded, private location, quiet when the pack of dogs down the hill weren’t barking, couldn’t sleep with the windows open. Kitchen was well equipped but lacks any storage space for dry goods purchased. Outdoor charcoal grill had no legs, they were rusted and broken, kettle grill was on the ground with rocks underneath so it didn’t tip over (dangerous). It rained 2 evenings so we couldn’t fire up the grill because it wasn’t under cover. For the price of the stay I’m surprised there wasn’t a gas grill, easier to maintain, easier for the guest to quickly grill, easy to keep on the deck under cover so you can grill if the weather is bad. Hot tub was great except it was dirty and water was green. You’ll need to bring firewood, it is not provided as it is at other cabins we’ve rented in the subdivision. A few minor improvements and it could be a 10/10.

Hi Spencer, the owner asked us to pass along the following: "Thank you for your feedback—we’re glad you enjoyed the private location and access to outdoor activities. We’re sorry the barking dogs affected your rest; while they’re not on our property, we understand the inconvenience. The grill was replaced during your stay as soon as we were notified, and we’re considering upgrading to a gas grill for added convenience. Regarding the hot tub, while the water may appear green due to reflections, it was confirmed clean by both our housekeeper and maintenance. We appreciate your note on kitchen storage and are exploring improvements. Firewood isn’t provided at this cabin, and we’ll make that clearer in the listing. Your suggestions are valuable, and we’re always working to enhance the guest experience. We hope to welcome you back and provide a 10/10 stay in the future."
Comfortable, clean, well equipped, plenty of room for our family. My young adult boys enjoyed the NBA arcade game(surprise) in our down time. It’s important to remember to bring everything you need for food and belongings as you are up in the mountains and it takes a bit to get somewhere. I forgot salt/pepper & foil and it wasn’t available in the house.
