We really enjoyed everything about this beautiful home and the area surrounding Bryson City... So beautiful and so many things to experience. The total solar eclipse will be something we will always remember.

Our first family vacay to Bryson City! OMG! the beautiful cabin, the views and just being together. Can't wait to come back in the winter. Hoping for snow. We hope that your stay here is a amazing as ours was.

The view was spectacular! We had several photographers that kept running out on the deck for just one more picture. The view was amazing and ever changing. The house was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped for cooking. We also used the grill outside and utilized the fire pit several times. We can't wait to come back again!

Our 29th anniversary could not have been spent in a more perfect place! The peace and the view of the moon through the trees from the hot tub! The cabin is very clean! Thank you!

Awesome Place to watch the Eclipse. No crowds, no traffic and perfect view! Thank you so much for sharing your lovely cabin with us.

Awesome Cabin! We came to enjoy the solar eclipse. The view was amazing. We will be back.

We were here for a 3 day weekend and to experience the solar eclipse totality. IT was the perfect view from the front deck. The pool table got quiet a work out. It is the only game left that we can beat our teenage grandchildren at. Can't wait to come back.

We spent a week here in this cabin. It was so beautiful and the perfect setting to relax for summer vacation with the family. We had a blast with "Ride the Rail"and white water rafting. We made lots of great memories.

The Big Timber Lodge is a beautiful cabin with a stunning view! We enjoyed our stay very much. We watched the solar eclipse from the deck, rode the train, took in some sights in the National Park and visited Wayah Bald Tower. We went to Asheville one day as well. It was such a memorable experience.

Our family of 6 enjoyed the Mountain River Cabin for the Great American Eclipse of 2017. We were extremely lucky to have clear skies for the total eclipse. It was so peaceful and breathtaking. We loved grilling out and exploring the local area.

Lovely cabin. We enjoyed our stay and hope to come back again.

We had a great time in the cabin. We truly enjoyed watching the humming birds visit. Sitting out by the camp fire was a great experience. The views are amazing and the cabin is more than exceptional. We will be back. The solar eclipse was amazing. We were so happy to be here for the once in a life time experience.

Loved the cabin. We went for the eclipse and it was outstanding. We were given information on the area and when we arrived an eclipse gift bag. The view and the solitude were great with just a short ride to Bryson City for meals and shopping. I would arrive during the day for your first ride up the mountain.

Wow! What a spectacular view. My family and I spent 5 days and 5 nights in Bryson City to celebrate my wife's birthday as well as to view the 2017 Solar Eclipse. Staying at Southern Comfort made our vacation more than phenomenal. The pictures of the cabin are exact and accurate; by far the most spacious 2 bedroom 1.5 bath cabin that I have ever had the opportunity to experience. The cabin was well stocked, and immaculately clean upon our arrival. Before booking, be advised that the cabin is situated on a mountain, and thus a 4x4 vehicle is recommended, however not necessary. Also, you will be in the middle of the woods, so please pack insect repellent as well (we visited mid August 2017). As previously noted by other reviewers, you are not completely isolated, there are neighbors on either side of the cabin, however they are distanced far enough for the neighbors to not be an issue. Please make sure you venture out to Cherokee, and to Darnell's Farm for an even more complete Bryson City experience. Overall, a great experience that I will surely repeat. My wife, my in-laws, and my children loved the cabin! Definitely worth the booking. We will be back!

We enjoyed staying at this cabin. The location is pretty convenient although tucked away up a mountain road to give you that mountains feel.

The best Vacation ever!! Thank you. Everything was awesome. The cabin is beautiful and very relaxing!

Beautiful place and gorgeous views. Enjoyed our trip here. Thank you!

I brought my 2 kids with me to share my first visit to the mountains ever and my first time out of Ohio. This experience has been wonderful. From the Awesome Cabin to the mountains and the beauty of the state. We hope to come back again soon.

Thank you so much for letting us rent your cabin. The cabin was very nice and relaxing. We have decided we will be coming back and probably bring some family or friends.

From the second we arrived we felt at home at The Scratching Post. We explored every inch of ground between here and Gatlinburg. Hiking, fishing, craft beer, and white water rafting. We left our mark on the Smokies. Coming home overnight Coming "home" to this immaculate mountain getaway. Thank you for having us. We are sure to return.

We had a fantastic time this week. The cabin was great and we enjoyed every moment. WE went tubing in Deep Creek, zip lining, white water rafting and horse back riding. Everything was beyond expectations. Thank you for such a great time.
