Even mgmt wasn't aware of wi-fi being disconnected.The tv was on sattelite and went out every time it rained (every day) Management was good, homeowner shouldn't be so scrimpy as much as the property costs.

Wonderful house

We loved this house! Beds were so comfortable. The hot tub was great. There were tons of games and toys for the kids to play with. The area was close enough to town to be a short drive but far enough away enough to be secluded and private. We had to contact the rental property once about the electric fireplace but they responded so quickly and came and fixed it. He was so helpful and very courteous. There are lot of extra space heaters, tons of towels and lots of little extras that make the house even better! We will be back and cannot say enough great things about this house!

Beautiful Cabin

We visit the Smoky Mountain National Park often and this was our first time staying on the North Carolina side of the park. Our family really enjoyed the cabin as it was close to Bryson City for groceries and food but still felt secluded. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. We were a little uncertain of our kids sleeping on the other side of the porch/breezeway but it worked fine and they enjoyed it. We were also close to Cherokee where we did plenty of shopping too. It was close to many park hiking trails which we really enjoyed as well. We would definitely stay here again.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Bear Trot Cabin, and it exceeded all my expectations! This charming abode is not only minutes away from downtown but also conveniently close to the Polar Express festivities. The location is perfect for those seeking a peaceful retreat without sacrificing proximity to key attractions. Upon arrival, I was immediately impressed by the cleanliness of the cabin. The owners clearly take pride in maintaining a spotless environment, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. The attention to detail in cleaning did not go unnoticed, and it truly enhanced the overall experience. Parking was a breeze, and the quiet area and private hot tub added to the serene ambiance. It was a relief to return to such a peaceful haven after a day of exploring the nearby attractions. The owners went above and beyond by calling on Saturday to ensure our stay was going smoothly and to inquire if we needed anything. The kitchen in Bear Trot Cabin deserves special mention. It was a joy to find a well-equipped kitchen, stocked with all the staples needed for a family meal. The convenience of having a grocery store just 5 minutes away made it super easy to enjoy a meal at the house. In summary, I highly recommend Bear Trot Cabin for anyone looking for a cozy, clean, and conveniently located retreat.

Great house and location

House was perfect for our group of four - plenty of room, bedrooms. bathrooms and all very clean. Well stocked kitchen. Great location to Bryson City and Blue Ridge Pkwy. Management Company was very easy to work with and even called on Saturday to check in with us to make sure all was going well at the house.
