We really enjoyed our stay. Due to the hurricane, we spent most of our time in the cabin and could not have asked for a better place to stay!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2024
This was a great place. It was a nice and clean. It had a fantastic outdoor deck area with the outdoor fireplace, large seating area, hot tub, and gas grill warm
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2023
We had a fantastic time staying at Stonewood cabins (#11). Check in was very easy, we had all the information we needed. The cabin is beautiful, more than enough space for our family (two adults and two kids, age 7 and 10). We stayed 5 nights. Kids loved the loft area and pool table. We enjoyed lots of time in the hot tub, used the outdoor grill, and a few visits to the shared outdoor space playing corn toss and enjoying the views. We really loved the outdoor fireplace on the deck and used that quite a bit. Cabin was clean upon arrival, kitchen stocked with all utensils and cooking items needed, plenty of towels for bathroom and hot tub. Cabin was within 20 minutes of Bryson City where we did the train ride and a few shops and restaurants on different days, also close to Deep Creek trail which was beautiful and a great hike - multiple different loops and options. We did one day trip to Pigeon Forge, nice drive through the Smokies. Travel time to PF/Gatlinburg depends on weather and traffic, not a quick drive, but some great views along the way. With the distance of the cabin to town, we only ventured out once per day, wouldn't be super easy to go in and out multiple times a day. Overall cabin was everything we hoped for and was a great stay. Would recommend staying here to others.
6 / 10Average·Nov 2022
First of all the cabin itself was beautiful. Really loved the mountain vibes and there were great views. I loved that the outdoor fireplace was wood burning, because who doesn’t love a hood bonfire?! But I also loved the convenience of the indoor gas fireplace!
On the not so good side, if you are looking for a quiet get away, this is not the spot. The cabin is located directly above the main highway and you can hear ALL of the traffic at all hours.
The main reason I booked this cabin was for the hot tub. Very disappointed to find the first afternoon I took the cover off it was very low on water. Called the office and the maintenance man was there very quickly and was very nice. He filled it up and added chemicals and told me to wait about an hour. I decided to go in later that evening to find the water to be low again to the point that the jet was spraying me. Same situation happened to me the second day. Not sure if there was a leak but kind of annoying. Also, majority of the hot tub jets did not work :(
I did enjoy my stay just not sure that it was worth what I paid.
