Smoky Mountain Cabin w/ Hot Tub & River Views!

Reviews

• Campground Cabin

  4/5

  This cabin was clean and functional with a great view of the river from the mostly uncovered back deck which includes a hot tub to relax as you view it. When I say functional, the cabin had only one window over the kitchen sink to view the river. Since you need to be on the mostly uncovered back deck to enjoy it, the cabin does not take advantage of its proximity to the river. Next to our cabin was a gathering space, covered picnic area with grills. This was for the other cabins which were not river front. Fortunately for us there weren't many people there to use it. If there had been, they may have been smoking or loud and that would have ruined the experience. On the other side of our cabin there used to be a campground, but it had been so damaged by the flooding in 2024 that only an empty campground with only remnants. There was a colony of feral cats on the property and these cats were being fed on the property. They would let you no where near them, unless you were bringing food, but they were easily spooked. There was a gaggle of Canadian geese who called the picnic area next to our cabin home. They are beautiful, but beware of goose poop everywhere. There was no access down to the river to either wade or fish unless you wanted to wade through vegetation and an uneven embankment to get to it. The cabin is conveniently located to Bryson City or Cherokee, but is away from the more crowded city areas.

• Perfect cabin by the river!

  5/5

  We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Smoky Mountain Cabin! Check in was a breeze, everything was spotless, and it was the most relaxing 3 days we've had in a long time. We began and ended every day on the deck, watching the river flow by - such a peaceful place and so good for the soul. It was extremely easy to get to and close to everything we wanted to do. Can't wait to go back!

• Wonderful cabin by the river!

  5/5

  My husband and I stayed in this perfect cabin by the river for a little mini vacation - it is so spacious and set up with everything we needed (although a pair of binoculars to watch the elk in the neighboring campground would have been wonderful!) It is easy to find, easy to get to, and close to so many fun activities.

  We packed a lot into the three days we were there and hope to go back again soon. We began and ended each day sitting on the deck by the river and enjoyed every minute. We were thankful for the hot tub after a long day of hiking (we recommend the Deep Creek Trail with its three beautiful waterfalls - there is a fairly easy 2.5 mile hike as well as the choice of taking a 5 mile hike, which is the one we chose) - that hot tub was the best way to end that day. :)

  The furniture is comfortable and we slept wonderfully each night. The cabin itself is very clean and the grounds are as well. We enjoyed watching the Canada Geese with their goslings wander around on the riverbank and got a kick out of the geese that just float down the river to their next destination.

  This is just all-around a great cabin in a beautiful spot and a super relaxing way to spend a few days. We highly recommend it!

  Manager's Response:

  From the owner: "Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! We are absolutely thrilled to hear you had such a wonderful and recharging stay at our cabin, especially enjoying the deck by the river and seeing the elk. That truly makes our day! We also genuinely appreciate your suggestion about providing binoculars – that's a brilliant idea for getting a closer look at the local wildlife, especially the beautiful elk! We'll definitely look into adding a pair for future guests.
  It was a pleasure hosting you, and we can't wait to welcome you back to the cabin for another perfect getaway!"

• Nice place

  5/5

  I really enjoyed my stay, very quiet and relaxing. Loved the views and the sound of the river. Cabin was nice and clean. I guess we got a bonus surprise, we felt the earthquake Saturday morning! Pretty awesome. I will definitely recommend staying here.
