The Cabin was just what we were looking for our hiking adventures in the area. The hot tub was very clean and relaxing at the end of our days. The cabin is perfect if you are looking for a place to lay your head down after enjoying nature in the area. The kitchen had everything we needed and the bedrooms small but everything we needed.

Our stay was perfect. The house was simple with everything we needed. It was perfect for a weekend away to just tuck ourselves away on the mountain. The hot tub was fantastic after a cold day out! You will want all wheel/4 wheel drive to get to it. Troy, the host was fantastic. Very responsive and attentive…not that we were in need of anything but he was available if we did. The starlink worked great! Had no connectivity issues at all and was able to stay in touch with family back home. If your looking for a nice, simple getaway for you and your loved one…don’t need all the bells and whistles of something fancy but has everything you need to be comfortable while staying close to town, I recommend it. We will definitely be back!

My experience was incredible! The views of the mountains are absolutely breathtaking, and the hot tub on the deck is an ideal place to unwind and take in the landscape. The cabin is incredibly cozy and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The beds are inviting, and the kitchen is stocked with all the essentials. The location of the Ridgetop Retreat is ideal for discovering the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Bryson City. The property owner, Troy was warm and welcoming, always ready to lend a helping hand and offered valuable information about the area. I felt very at ease in his presence and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations together.
