Wonderful Stay!

We stayed with our two teenage kids and they absolutely loved the farm animals! The home was cozy and had a beautiful view of the farm right out the huge living room windows. We enjoyed our nights on the patio, playing board games and watching for the fireflies. Owners were very easy to get hold of with any questions we had.

Nice and quiet place

We really liked the place. It was quiet and big. The view out of the living room is tremendous. While it is surrounded by trees it is rather dark in the house, althought the pictures at VRBO show a very light house.

Perfect Vacation Spot

This was our third trip to Bryson City and this house is one of our favorites! The location is perfect and the house is very homey. The porch is a great spot to sit and sip coffee and our kids even enjoyed sitting out there. The horse and fish pond were an added bonus. We also loved having a garage. 10/10 would recommend and plan on staying here again!!!

Great property

The house was cozy and spacious, clean and well cared for. We loved taking a walk in the property to the small fish pond to feed the fish, as encouraged by the host. Our girls loved it! They loved the games and the twin size beds in the “kids’” room. The view from the front porch is gorgeous!
