Fisherman's Dream Cabin 4 ON THE RIVER!!!!!

We are on the Tuckasegee River a mile from downtown in the BearHunter Campground. We would be considered a tiny home or park model cabin. Guests have said it is big enough for your family of 4 to not feel cramped. Located in the Great Smoky Mountains, we are close to hiking, rafting, tubing, and kayaking. You'll feel right at home if you enjoy any of these activities, or just want to relax and enjoy the river view. Fishing from the deck is definitely a plus. Our quaint little town has been voted one of the top 10 small towns to visit with local breweries and The Great Smoky Mtn Railroad.
The space
Convenient river access near by makes it your Fisherman' Retreat. A maximum of 4 guests is our policy. NO MORE! We are pet friendly (dogs only) with prior approval. A $50 non refundable fee per pet is due on arrival in cash. Pets must be crated when you are out.
The bedroom has a queen size bed and the other sleeping space is a loft with headroom only. It has a full size bed mattress and is accessible by ladder only. Great for kids or young adults. Towels (1 set per person) and linens are provided free, so you don't have to worry about bringing them with you, unless you don't use a towel more than once. (Sorry) A full galley kitchen is well stocked with all the pots and pans, dishes, glasses and utensils you will need. Bring your paper products, including garbage bags, dish soaps and any other necessities for cooking. There is salt & pepper and some spices but that's it. Coffee filters are provided for the regular full size coffee pot.
Guest access
You have access to the entire Cabin. It is located in the Bear Hunter Campground, although you're not really there for the campground. Sorry no fire pit.
No grill, however you may bring your own.
Other things to note
*The pet fee is for allowing pets to visit. It is to compensate for all the extra cleaning that is takes. It is not a damage fee. If your pet does damage because it has not been crated or watched, you will be requested to pay for the damage.
*Please be honest if you break something. If something is missing or damaged I will turn it in to VRBO and request payment for it.
Please care for our place and things like you care for your own or better. We try hard to provide for our guests and appreciate your understanding.
There is no wifi in the campground at the cabins.

First of all, I have never left a bad review and I’ve stayed at numerous places in the mountains so this is my first. Beware! Cabin is in an Rv park. Sugar ants throughout the cabin. Checking in, I had to get with the neighbor then 20min later he had to get with his wife to get the code. The digital lock works about half the time. The window unit AC WILL NOT cool down the cabin. It’s basically a sweat lodge in the summer. Broken glass in the Rv park from weekend stayers. Cut my furry friends paw (nothing major) but bad enough for him to limp the rest of the trip. Not enough water pressure to shower and do dishes at the same time, it’s one or the other. Large burner on the stovetop does not work. The permanent Neighbors are about the most unpleasant people I’ve seen. If this cabin was free, I still wouldn’t stay here again.

Cabin was small

The cabin water wasn’t working when we checked in. There’s a store right down the rd an I wouldn’t get out cause it was trashy, the river was nasty.

Short get away

The cabin was beautiful. We thought we were booking a cabin with easy direct fishing access and that wasn't the case. Also I don't remember reading that we were in a campground. Everything was quiet at night though. The host was very nice and helpful with questions about the area.

Cute and Great location

Property owner, Tammy, was amazing and easy to communicate with. Little cabin was cute, clean and in a great location. The covered porch was amazing and feeding the ducks a huge perk. We were not there much and didn't cook there but it was comfortable and met all of our needs. There are other cabins close to this one but there was no noise or anything. You really felt like you were there by yourself. We will be staying again soon.

My son and I came to Bryson to do some trout fishing. This cabin and location worked perfectly for our purposes. Everything was clean and ready for our arrival. The view from the deck of the river was great.

Pretty cabin/deck in RV campground

Cabin was clever, clean and very cute. It was not the kind of campground we expected (no woods, greenspace, etc.) and the cabin was one of several close together. That said, folks were very friendly, the deck was right on the river with tremendous amount of birds, people fishing. Saw herons, eagles and families of geese. Stayed on the deck much of the time we were at the cabin. Noticed many of the campgrounds in the area were this sort. Host was very accommodating.

Amazing spot!

This spot has it all! Bryson is a quiet little town with great food and friendly people! The views from the cabin are beautiful! Listening to the river and getting to see the train go by is a daily treat. We were here for 5 days and got to hike the Appalachian trail, see waterfalls, fish the Tuck, and relax. We went to Tennessee, and South Carolina too. This is a centrally located spot with lots to do or all the comforts to just relax.
