Awesome cabin

It was out in the wood enough to feel secluded but a few minutes away from downtown Bryson. We loved each and every second of our stay at the cabin! Was the perfect get away for my daughter (13) and I to escape.

Beautiful Cabin

The cabin was beautiful nestled in the woods with an open floor plan. The bathroom shower was huge with a steam room. The bedroom was cozy with a fireplace (didn't use). The cabin is located to nearby hiking with beautiful waterfalls.

Very private, secluded location. Close to the Cherokee entrance to GSMNP. The challenge was steep, single lane road to the cabin which I did not see in any description of the property. Luckily we rented a Jeep for the trip. It was helpful in this climb.

Spring get away.

Cabin and location was comfortable and convenient to town and other roads. Drive up the mountain is very steep especially pulling a car trailer, but the pavement was good all the way. Wi-Fi and smart TVs worked great for streaming Direct TV from our computers. We don't cook so I can't comment on the kitchen, but everything seemed adequate.

Cozy Cabin

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Buffalo Creek Bridge Cabin. The cabin was clean and very comfortable. The rooms were larger than the pictures portray them to be, so that was a nice surprise. The living area had a big comfy chair and comfy couch. The bathroom boasted a large, steam shower that was very nice after a full day of hiking. The bed was comfortable with plenty of blankets and pillows. There's a little room in between the bedroom and the living area that is not pictured in the listing, and it was my favorite little space with a desk & chair, books, and some hooks for hanging up whatever you need. The bedroom had a portable A/C unit that vented out a window and the living area was cooled by a unit in the wall of the kitchen space. By far my favorite part of the entire place was the bridge outside. It was a lovely, peaceful place to sit and hang out first thing in the morning and at the end of a long day of exploring. The cabin is within 5 mins or so of main street Bryson City, so it's convenient to whatever you want to explore there.
