BEST VIEW IN BRYSON CITY IN THE SUGAR SHACK!!

Overall our stay was so-so. It should be advised in the discription that the main house is within ft of the rental, and if someone is out on the deck it is very loud. We enjoyed hanging out on the porch with the views until 2 nights out of the 3 we ended up inside because we couldn't have a conversation with one another peacefully. We eneded up not staying in and enjoy a quiet peaceful dinner because of this. The views are amazing. The place is small but we read that in the description and was perfectly fine with it thinking we would spend majority of our time outside. Which we couldn't so sitting is only outside. Which made our quiet and peaceful getaway into a go out to be able to hear one another talk. It should be advised in description that it is not quiet and peaceful and the main house is within feet of where you are staying and enjoying a porch view sitting. If we knew this we 100% would have booked another place and even thought about taking the lose of our money so we could enjoy like we planned to enjoy each others company quietly.

This rental is at the top of a steep hill, on a lane that is gravel and filled with pot holes. The rental is tiny and is essentially a room behind the carport. The bed is crammed between the walls and if two are sharing the bed, one has to climb over the other person to get in or out. Sizing up the place I looked for space to put our 2 suitcases and there was no luggage rack to set them on, only the floor or the bed. Venturing out onto the patio were a couple chairs and a small table. There were no chairs or table in the unit! The thought of sitting outside in April in the frosty or rainy mountaintop air, to drink coffee or have a meal quickly reinforced that this was not a hospitable place. After seeing what the rental really is like, we decided not to stay. So lesson learned, look more critically at the images. If you don’t see something, it is not there. Pick a place with many positive reviews! In conclusion, if you are traveling alone, on a yak, with a wine skin and a backpack and looking for an overnight stay, this could be the place for you.

We booked this place for the view and proximity to hiking, and it delivered on both 100%! We spent three perfect mornings sipping coffee and watching eagles swoop across the valley while the clouds rolled over the mountain peaks beyond. Anyone looking for a simple, affordable stay with basic amenities close to world-class hiking and biking should consider this place. Two small things could have improved our stay: 1. The host's instructions were great; however, we arrived in the dark, and after getting up the steep gravel driveway we weren't sure we were in the right place, as there are no house numbers or any lights outside the main house. One additional sign at the top of the driveway or some lights to show the way would have smoothed out our arrival process. 2. The mountains are damp, no way around that. I think this cabin would really benefit from a dehumidifier, and anyone sensitive to mildew might want to keep this in mind. Ultimately, this is a clean, centrally-located spot with a next-level view, and we would absolutely book it again. Thank you, Valentina!
