Exceptional, superb...perfect! This cabin was everything as advertised and more! We are a family of 8, from ages 73 to 9 and this had something for us all...cornhole, hot tub, fire pit, plenty of games and the creek! Waterfall hikes nearby and cute Bryson City. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. Even a spice I forgot to bring! The hosts were extremely responsive and the cabin was spotless. This was everything we hoped for and then some.

We stayed here for a long weekend getaway. We were so impressed with the organization and how well the house was stocked. We didn’t have to run out to the grocery store 100 times for all the little things. There was enough things to do for everyone - from the 2 year old to the 70 year old. This is a great place to stay in Bryson City!

Water's Edge was just as described. It was clean, so organized, comfy and had everything we needed to accommodate our family. The beds and pillows were great, the kitchen well stocked, and you couldn't ask for a better location so close to town and The Polar Express. There was easy access to the property and parking right out front. Our host, Sue, was great about responding and a pleasure to work with. She even had a Christmas tree up next to the fireplace to add to experience. There are several other properties close by and what looks like a camp site across the creek that was empty. It was quiet and we had a great view of the creek and stars.
