Overall Buffalo Trace cabin was great. We felt it could use some TLC...the interior was awesome. The exterior (porch) could use some attention to detail. Thanks for everything, we are working plans for another stay.

Heaven

Cute, cozy cabin tucked away enough to feel completely secluded yet close enough to the grocery store and downtown Bryson City. The majority of the time we sat on the deck and took in the beautiful scenic mountain view. My favorite part was opening the French doors in the bedroom at night to the screened in deck and viewing the mountains at dusk with a fire in the fire place. The colors of the fall trees were breathtaking. The only thing about this time of year is that the oak trees were raining acorns on the metal roof and sounded like fireworks sporadically during the day and night. None the less, we accepted that nature was doing it’s thing and we were just happy to be away from it all in a cozy cabin with amazing mountain views.

Birthday/Anniversary getaway

On the 24th of June I decided that I was going somewhere for my birthday which is the 28th of June and my anniversary is the 1st of July so I and my wife wrapped it all into one. Such a lovely romantic couple spot, with awesome views and great amenities. Such as the bedroom connected to the screen in deck. Watching the sun set in the evening and the Sun rise in the morning was a beautiful experience for my wife and I. If you're thinking about reserving this cabin for your wife significant other partner please don't waste another thought and go ahead and reserve.!!

The view!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin had everything we needed. We particularly enjoyed our meals on the deck; both the screened in and outdoor areas. The drive up is typical for this sort of property. I'd say better than most. Only the driveway is unpaved and that is well graded. No problem at all for our 2wd Honda CRV.

We had a restful and relaxing stay. Complete privacy, beautiful view and loved that screened porch. Access is a little difficult with the steep climb but the road is in good condition. Great location easy to get into town and close to grocery store. Also central to a lot of sights and destinations.
