What our guests are saying...

The property was repeatedly noted for being exceptionally clean, well maintained, and thoughtfully stocked with what guests needed for their stay.

Overview
Tucked deep in the Smoky Mountains yet minutes from some of Western North Carolina's best outdoor adventures, this sunlit cabin is your basecamp for exploring — and your retreat for unwinding. Switch on the gas fireplace and settle into the living room, with its vaulted ceiling, well-equipped full kitchen, dining table for four, and comfortable living space with a TV provided through Dish Network. Step through the sliding glass doors onto the expansive wraparound deck with a gas grill and outdoor table for al fresco dining after a day on the water or the trail. Right outside, you'll find a firepit for evening stories and a swing set for the kids. Reliable unlimited internet is available for streaming, browsing, and video conferencing. This property is managed by VueStay Vacations.
This cabin sits in a secluded, private spot completely surrounded by nature, bordered by National Forest land, but you're never far from the action. Whitewater rafting and kayaking await three miles away at the Nantahala Outdoor Center, and Fontana Lake public access is just a mile out for fishing, boating, or a lazy afternoon on the water. Trout fishing spots dot the surrounding rivers and streams for anglers of all levels. Mountain bikers will love the proximity to the Tsali Recreation Area, home to some of the Southeast's best singletrack. When you're ready to slow down, downtown Bryson City offers local shops, museums, and historical sites, all just a short drive from your private mountain hideaway.

This is a nice cabin close to rafting and Bryson city, perched near the top of a hill with a peakaboo view of the smokies. However the property management really needs to be revamped or find a new one. Before our stay we had the hardest time getting anyone to respond. There are zero driving directions and we drove past the turn in 3 times because it was dark and off a major highway. There were no toiletries in the house at all and the trash was over flowing.
We loved how quiet and beautiful the property was
The view is AMAZING at this cabin. It has everything you need for a great getaway. Cabin is vey private.
Loved dining in and grilling out with all necessary equipment available. Completed a jigsaw puzzle and played dominoes in our spare time when not walking nearby trails or window shopping or dining in the area towns with our dog. Can’t wait to return soon.
Returned to Happy Top for New Years. The views of the surrounding mountains and night shy were amazing. The Christmas lights in Bryson City were beautiful. Enjoyed the kitchen, grill and dining area to have home cooked meals, snacks and games of dominoes. Looking forward to returning later in the year.
Loved that this home was only 15-20 minutes from everything we wanted to do and then we could escape back to nature. It was top of the hill but easy to get to and the home being on one level with just a few steps was wonderful for us older folks! The deck was perfect with views and sunsets and would love to come back!
