Stayed Nov 9, 2025Charming “container” house by the river. Planned efficiently and decorated with care. We stayed toasty warm on the first bitterly cold night of the season. Nice deck for warm weather.

Stayed Nov 6, 2025Fantastic location and accommodation. For anyone looking to experience a tiny house getaway, highly recommend! Only additional recommendation would be additional wood near the fire pit to make the magical night last even longer!

Stayed Jul 24, 2025It was so much fun to stay in a container home! The layout was great and we had good space for 2 people. Luckily the weather allowed for sitting outside since there is nowhere to sit inside. We enjoyed it and would definitely come back again!

Stayed Jul 17, 2025We had a great stay at the Shak. My only suggestion is that I'm not a memory foam bed person, and it was too soft.

Stayed Jul 3, 2025Had a wonderful time in Bryson City. Was visiting for a gospel sing and this was the perfect place to stay for me. Wonderfully appointed, with a spacious front porch perfect for quiet Bible study in the mornings. Only unusual thing was the access road, which is right beside a railroad track. But once you get used to it it's all good. Would definitely recommend this place to others and would stay again!

Stayed Jun 26, 2025We stayed for 3 days. It’s basically on the river with nice views. The bonus was the train passes by out front but it’s a slow scenic tourist train and everyone waves at you. It just runs twice a day so no disruptions. It’s also very close to the town. I highly recommend this place. Also they did a great job with interior and amenities. Very cozy

Stayed Jun 23, 2025This little shack on a hill is so cute and perfect for a short stay. It is conveniently located near downtown Bryson City but its also not too far from cherokee. We felt like we were out of town but were actually very close. The view of the river was a great view and it was enjoyable sitting out on the front porch. Being summer and a short stay we didnt use the fire pit for any reason.

Stayed Sep 7, 2024Needed a place for an overnight stay near the Nantahala River. Pretty quite but very close to shops and restaurants with a view of the Tuck river. Clean, Good supplies, Good lighting inside and out. Plenty of electric outlets for charging electronics. Good Wifi. Enough room for one person but a little tight for two unless you just need a quick and clean overnighter.

Stayed Aug 14, 2024The cabin is small but cozy, ideal for a single person or couple. It was amazingly quiet; I don't think I heard any sounds of civilization except for the sound of the tourist train (daytime only) and a couple of cars driving on a nearby gravel road, yet the town is only a mile away. There is a full-sized shower. The only downside I found is that the mini-fridge does not have a freezer if you want ice, which is a pretty minor inconvenience. r
