This 3 night stay was wonderful. Everything from the location relative to Bryson City, the views of the mountains, comfortable beds and living room chairs, and all necessary kitchen needs were included in this stay. The only thing I can say to those who might bring children of young age is that the bathroom shower might require some creativity if you want to bathe the kiddos. This home delivered what I was looking for, which was an escape to the mountains.

Blue Mountain Cottage is all-around wonderful! I've stayed in various places in the Bryson City area over the years (& in rental cabins elsewhere, too, but Bryson City is my favorite spot on the planet. Blue Mountain is just the best of the best! Everything was exactly as promised: the view, the closeness to the Deep Creek area of the GSM national park, the convenience to Bryson City, and all the amenities. It is well-appointed, yes, and the lack of stairs made my knees happy, but best of all was that it felt so comfy, serene, and magical. Thanks so much to the hosts for sharing their vacation home: the love they feel for it shows in every detail. P.S.Don't miss the Deep Creek trail! (throwing in a photo of Tom's Branch Falls, to encourage you)

We just spent 4 nights at this beautiful cabin in Bryson City and had one of our best VRBO experiences to date. The cabin was immaculately renovated, extremely clean, and had everything we needed—and more. The beds were very comfortable, the WiFi was excellent, and check-in and check-out were quick and easy.The setting is peaceful and quiet, with stunning views from the front porch—our favorite spot to relax. It’s also just a short drive into the charming town of Bryson City, which we really enjoyed exploring.Bob, the owner, was friendly and very responsive. You can tell he takes great pride in this property, and it truly shows in every detail. We would 100% recommend this place and hope to return again soon.

We appreciated the ease of check-in with helpful information provided by the property owner, His list of area restaurants is the best! Parking and entry to the house for loading and unloading was super convenient. We found the cottage extremely clean, comfortable and quiet. The kitchen is well equipped for people that like to cook. The location on the NE edge of Bryson City is super close to the park and away from the bustle of town. The front porch edged by the biggest hydrangea we've ever seen was a relaxing place to end the day.

Fresh Clean and Quite

Location was close enough to Bryson City to easily access as well as all outdoor activities that attracted us to the mountains. Started each day with a fully charged EV to explore and have fun. The accommodations were outstanding. Bob provided a very helpful list of local dining options. Definite do over!

Best Vrbo we'we found

This house is very clean and modern. The view from the front porch is awesome. It's close to everything in the area. The property manager is great. It took us a bit to realize we could park close enough to the back porch for the wheelchair ramp from my van to reach the back porch but after that I had no problem coming and going.

Their home became our home (for a week)

The owner communicated early and as needed throughout the reservation and arrival process to make us feel relaxed and welcome. Access to everything in the cottage and the surrounding area was wonderfully easy! The cottage was exceptionally clean and well-provisioned with towels, blankets, and many other essentials that one doesn't often find in a rental cabin/cottage. The location is ideal. The Smoky Mountain National Park and Deep Creek Campground are within walking distance, though for safety reasons, I recommend you drive in and park to avoid having to walk on the narrow road. The owner provided a list of ideas for adventures with details to help choose and find. While we did do the obvious, such as the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad (GSMR), Nantahala Gorge Excursion, we also took a bumpy twisting ride in our Jeep Wrangler 4x4 down Balsam Mountain Road/Heintooga Round Bottom Road, which the owner described in his catalog of local adventure ideas. We saw a lot of elk and other wildlife but no bears, which may be a good thing.🙂 There is so much to do in the Bryson City, NC area! I highly recommend this property for short-stay vacations.

Amazing property and location!

We booked Blue Mountain Cottage for a wedding anniversary getaway. We wanted to be in a central location near several towns and this place did not disappoint. First, the property is exactly as advertised and shown. It was immaculate and the bed was super comfortable. One of our favorite times was spent in the rocking chairs relaxing and admiring that view. It is incredible to see the mountains change depending on weather and time of day. We went to Gatlinburg one day, explored the Smoky Mountain drives and had the joy of seeing elk in the wild. We were close enough for a trip to Asheville as well where we went to the North Carolina Arboretum which was so beautiful and diverse. We also visited Waynesville for the artists and craftspeople work. There is a train ride you can take on the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad too. One of our favorite days was minutes away from the cottage at Deep Creek where we hiked the waterfalls trail and saw the Tom’s River Waterfall. Do yourself a favor and take a drive on the Road To Nowhere which is also less than 10 miles from the cottage. There is a pullover view that is the best of all the sites we visited. This host has prepared a place that is stocked with necessities and he is super accessible with communications. Absolutely would choose this property again when visiting the area.

Thanksgiving week

Me, my hisband and 12 year old son stayed at this beautiful cottage for the week. The cottage was bigger inside than we thought it would be. The home has been completely remodeled and is beautifully done. The views were gorgeous. Couldnt wait to wake up to look at the view. Me and my son walked thr short walk to Deep Creek and went hiking. Would love to stay in the summer to enjoy the water since there is an area with steps to enter the river just a block or 2 away from the cottage. Cant wait for our next trip
