Snuggly, dog-friendly cabin w/ free WiFi, a gas fireplace, firepit, central A/C

Beautiful view

Beautiful property and very clean!

The gas lines are intentially disconnected so fire place will not work. I sent a video and pictures to VACASA (property management) and they did NOTHING for us. They said they sent this info. to the local property manager & owner and nothing was ever done even though they continually said they would send someone out to fix it starting on day 2 of our 16 day stay. We had to contact VACASA almost every other day for an update once no one showed up. For paying close to 3,000, we expect everything would be like the property listing description to be. We wanted a property with a fireplace and hot tube but found this property without a hot tube but it said in the LISTING TITLE and the FIRST SENTENCE OF THE DESCRIPTION that the fire place works!!!!!!!!! So we booked it looking forward to a working fireplace. VERY DISSAPOINTED that the fireplace didnt work while IT SNOWED during our stay. Vacasa never made an effort to make it right. I will never rent another place with VACASA. Also, general property maintenance noting: (decking boards need work, numerous major deep ruts in final driveway approach need repaired.) Kitchenware needs updating. American Flag holder was broken upon arrival and both (2) ourdoor grill propane tanks were almost empty at arrival. Large cold air draft under front door.We do not like making a bad review but this has been an ongoing issue with this property after talking with multiple people at VACASA during our stay.

it is secluded, quiet, we had everything we needed there. This is our second time of vacationing there and if we weren’t happy, we would’ve been back so we love it.

The cabin was bright and airy and we loved the location. Most enjoyed spending time on the deck with mountain views and beautiful forest surrounds. Easy accessibility to the NOC and Bryson City was great too. Cabin was well outfitted with all the necessities and very clean. The one suggestion for improvement would be more supportive beds/mattresses as we struggled to get comfy on those provided. Even so, overall had a lovely time and would return to the cabin. Thank you!

We LOVED the Happy Top Hideaway! It was beautiful, clean, spacious, and conveniently located to all the things we wanted to do including river rafting and enjoying Bryson City. We planned to hopefully book it again next year!

The cabin hits all the high marks. It has a beautiful unobstructed view and it was clean and has all the conveniences of home. It is minutes from Tsali mountain bike trails and whitewater rafting at Nantahala outdoor center. You can also get on Lake Fontana paddle boarding or rent a boat. There is something for everyone, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Couldn’t ask for a more cozy cabin and the surrounding town is so cute with tons of great hikes.

This was a very nice and comfortable cabin located at the top of a small hill off the main highway just 15min from the great town of Bryson City and 10min from Nantahala Outdoor Center in the other direction. It has a great big patio deck with a nice view mostly surrounded by large trees. There was also a fire pit area we used and a grill we did not. Very nice stargazing spot on a clear night and we saw fireflies both nights we were there in the summer. Nice equipped kitchen area and cozy bedrooms. There were some larger tv screens available with satellite tv, but we did not use them. The washer/dryer inside were also very useful. As some other reviewers noted, the path up to this cabin is a bit of a steep drive up a gravel road with some bumps. We did not have 4WD or AWD and made it OK but our crossover did seem to struggle one time and this was without rain. Nice little coffee spot, Cardinal Coffee nearby too. All around great cabin for a short getaway near the Great Smoky Mountains.

Didn’t have sheets for the pullout sofa….contacted customer service over and over and over and just got generic replies…. Kid had to sleep on sofa two nights no sheets… Happy Birthday!

Wonderful view and secluded home…. Perfect for our family vacation! Highly recommended!

We stayed here for 2 nights and had a great time. We brought along our 3 children and it was an awesome place for kids to run around outside. Very clean. The driveway is steep at the very top but if you hang to the far left you can avoid the big potholes. Our minivan did it just fine.

This home was so bad that I felt compelled to review 1 year later. 1st, I'd suggest not renting a home managed by Vacasa of North Carolina. If you need anything, good luck. Even they admitted they are very understaffed in the NC market and are not responsive, even after sending over a dozen pics of the filth upon arrival. 2nd, I've never seen a more disgusting property than this. The reviews after our time say how clean the home was - that's because we spent our first night and next day cleaning the entire home, top to bottom, everything. Dog hair was everywhere - all the sheets, blankets, couch cushions literally had dog hair falling off them, hair coated inside the dryer, even the inside of the freezer! Blood stains on a duvet cover & pillow, many other bedding stains. Spent night & next day cleaning. 3rd, Wifi didn't work - Was told by Vacasa that internet was a metered package, so if someone before you uses a lot of it you won't have any. Don't consider if you need to keep tabs on work while away. Working from McDonald's isn't fun. 4th, Property is not maintained; Bathroom sink didn't drain & there's a review from 6 months prior stating it was inoperable, still hadn't been fixed. Damaged/rotted sections of wood on deck, including railings, made it unsafe for small children/pets. There's much more, just no more space for the review. Vacasa eventually refunded the pet fee, which is peanuts compared to time and expense of what we had to do to the home. Look elsewhere.

We loved this property. The cabin and the view were amazing. Would love to visit again.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here! Very clean and cozy and all amenities:) You will not be disappointed. There is a gravel road up to the cabin that can be steep in spots so I would recommend bringing your awd vehicle just in case. Once you are settled in however, the cabin has tremendous views and there is great coffee shop about 5 mins from the cabin(cardinal coffee). Downtown Bryson City is about a 15 min drive so it's quite close with restaurants, pubs and shops for all different tastes. You will not be disappointed !
