Beautiful cabin with well-equipped kitchen. All-wheel or 4-wheel drive definitely needed to access the cabin, but the views and solitude were well worth the drive.

Beautiful property with great views and a real fun trail down to. Water falls with a swing where u can sit and enjoy the falls. Really enjoyed our stay but be sure you have all wheel or 4 wheel drive preferably.some of the roads are rough!

The cabin was VERY nice. VERY secluded, if you don't mind being away from everything. I told Bill about the couch needing to be replaced, cushions are wore out. Very curvy road which was fun to drive in my 4x4 truck, never had to use the 4 wheel drive. One of the guys was in an all wheel drive tesla car, we thought he might have an issue to get out with the amount of rain we got over the 2 days we were there, but no issues at all.Thanks for letting us rent your cabin.John

You really need to be adventurous to appreciate this Cabin in the Woods. It was very beautiful and immaculate and the amenities are wonderful however it was too adventurous for us it didn't even want to go back down the mountain for any reason. The drive up is impossible in anything but a four-wheel drive and even then is so steep you feel like you're going to fall backwards and the hair pins turns only add more Adventure to the 20 minute drive up the mountain. It is a great adventure for those willing to rough it up the mountain but I wouldn't book this location again. If you do book I go to the grocery before you get to the cabin because you aren't going to want to track up and down no matter what vehicle you're in.

Hi Candice, we appreciate your perspective and are glad you found the cabin beautiful and well-equipped! The homeowner wanted to share that:
- The roads leading to the cabin are typical for higher elevations in Western North Carolina, and 4x4 or AWD is recommended, as noted in the listing and pre-stay information.
- Guests receive a reminder about road conditions before arrival to ensure they're prepared for the drive. Many visitors navigate the area safely and enjoy multiple trips to explore all that Bryson City has to offer.
Thanks for sharing your experience—this spot is best suited for those who enjoy a true mountain retreat, and we appreciate your insight for future travelers!
