Watershed 03 - Free Train Tours + Custom Modern Luxury Cabin + Beautiful Sunset

The stay was very good, just thought some of the items within the house need updating and especially the water quality system. Understand the mountain water issues, but this was the worst we have experience since renting in Bryson City.

Enjoyed the serenity of the home and beautiful views in the common area. Lots of adventures for families to enjoy in the area.

Overall happy with our stay- home is beautiful but needing a little attention- Washing machine has mold which is common with stackable- hot tub works but needs a little repair for the jet control, the decking is starting to rot in places on the steps, the sauna needs some minor repairs to the seating. Outdoor seating near fire pit is wet/moldy- Swing is nice- inside is beautiful and very comfortable- lots of technology that os a bit dated- overall it's a great spot that just needs a little TLC- The outside shower is wonderful

Great comfortable cabin. The views and porch are amazing the fire pit and hot tub as well. The kitchen is large and good for cooking meal and the living room and couch are comfortable. The master bedroom is large and comfortable as well. Both the upstairs, outside and the master bath showers are great. The only negatives I have are the cabin needs a deep clean it is not dirty but it is starting to get dusty and grungy and will soo be dirty if no deep clean is done. Second thing is the property roads. It says motorcycle friendly which is not true unless you have a super moto bike. I am very very glad we drove my wife's suv because my car would have been way to low and rwd would have meant I would not have been able to reach the cabin. Not a deal breaker but if you are reading this it would be good to know. All that aside I would stay again.

Lovely home with great amenities!

The cabin and setting is very secluded and beautiful. You must have SUV or FWD to reach easily. The design makes you feel like you are in a treehouse. The furnishings, decor, and details are lovely. We really loved the outdoor swing, sauna, and hot tub (wonderful after a day of hiking). However, I suspect there is a carpenter bee infestation. There are visible bees flying around and into the porch ceiling and sawdust is EVERYWHERE! The cabin could use some refreshing- the pillows on couch are flat and unraveling, the shower handle in master bath fell off (we put back on), the heated towel bar kept falling off and was broken in the corner, fireplace didn’t work (according to instructions), Alexa didn’t work, and the drain in master bath was slow (emailed to Watershed but we did not need them to address during our stay- just noticed).. The kitchen needs some added items- only one wine glass, minimal cooking utensils, etc. They could use updated instructions to things (fireplace and TV) and some details of the town- restaurants, grocery stores, shopping would be nice.

Rented this property for our 21st anniversary trip, and we were NOT disappointed. The foyer and stairs are STUNNING and the house is clean, well appointed, and super comfortable. We cooked dinner in all 3 nights and had everything we needed aside from the food we bought at the nearby Ingles. We hiked the property to the Yard and down to the waterfall. It was super peaceful and well taken care of. I also really liked the idea of so much of the cabin being salvaged (it apparently won awards) such as the granite, cabinets, kitchen appliances, etc. Just icing on the cake that they did their part to keep stuff out of landfills in such a beautiful way. If we get to come back to Bryson City, we will stay here again!

We really enjoyed the cabin and the amenities and that it was private. It was close enough to the places we wanted to visit, but far away from crowds.

Checkin and check out were super easy. The cabin is definitely off the beaten path. The amenities in the cabin are outstanding. If there was an issue it is the lighting situation. They try to make it easy by using Alexa to run the lighting. It just doesn't work consistently and then some switches dont work. The view of the Smokies is terrific.

Excellent property with amazing amenities and location, however, is listed as motorcycle friendly property, this is a stretch. I got my scooter up the gravel hill as long as no moisture around, but it is definitely not something I looked forward to. So if you can leave your bike somewhere else and okay with that, excellent. But we will try for this property if no bike is being brought
