We usually spend our vacation at the beach, so this was our first time vacationing in a mountain cabin. Wow, was it relaxing! Your cabin has a perfect floor plan for spending quality time with the family, and is decorated so tastefully. We genuinely enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed the spectacular view; playing board games on the deck and around the coffee table; roasting marshmallows in the outside fire pit; hiking and biking around the community; cooking on the grill and eating pork chops, hamburgers, and veggies; and searching and finding the viewing tower at Clingman's Dome from the deck. Your flowers along the driveway are beautiful. We enjoyed tubing at Deep Creek, hiking and taking pictures in the national park, the view at Clingma's Dome, exploring Bryson City, and eating at Jimmy Mac's and Pasqualino's Italian Restaurant.

We had a great time in this cabin, and we had a great trip! We did lots of amazing things. Like, we went whitewater rafting for the first time, and we even saw some wild elk!! We saw 2 females at first then after we went hiking, we came back and saw another female. Then we saw one male elk! We also got to relax in the hot tub after. We made s'mores in the microwave and they tasted great. The rafting was really fun too. We definitely got splashed a lot! And the pictures after were hilarious! And the forest we hiked in was really pretty. It had little streams and waterfalls and lots of trees. We also saw some really cool butterflies too. And we're also going horseback riding tomorrow on our way back home. I had an awesome time, and I'm really glad we got to stay in this cabin.

My family has been visiting the "Smokies" for over 40 years and we haven't missed a year. Last year we discovered Paradise Valley Lodge and fell in love with its location. This year we decided to return with three generations of tubers. After all these years of Visiting North Carolina and staying monthly in our favorite places, Bryson City, we have experienced all of the places and explored many different areas, but we truly love the serenity and value the memories we have added while staying at P. Valley and look forward to returning again next year.

Absolutely Beautiful!! The Billy Idol Concert Rocked!

We came here on a Monday and played dominos and built a campfire and went in the hot tub. On Tuesday we went on the Smoky Mountain Express, white water rafting, and used the hot tub. We made a fire in the fire pit. On Wednesday we went hiking and to the gem museum and the Rose Creek Mine. On Thursday we went horseback riding and to the Museum of the Cherokee Indian.

IT was our first time to Bryson City and this side of the National Park. This place is so peaceful. Perfect for riding the rails at the GSMNR. we went to Deep Creek. We loved the kitchen.

Thank you allowing a family to become a united family. The View made us all feel the presence of God. A true adventure in life. Thank you for having us here.

We loved the cabin. We has a great 3 days!

This was Calebs (a 9 year old) Make a Wish trip! He loved taking walks up and down the steep hills here and coming back from the train ride to see the leaves and the bird, moon and stars. It was such a beautiful place for us all to relax. We are so thankful to have had this trip!!

Had a fantastic time. First time zip lining, had a great time on the rivers, tubing, white water rafting and fishing. The Muniz Family

We had a great time. The cabin was beautiful and very well stocked. We hiked, gem mined, and went to museums. We can't wait to come back.

Wonderful cabin in a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing it with everyone.

Wow! What a view! That has defiantly been the best thing about our cabin. and the weather was perfect all week. Only one day of rain and we checked out the casino that day. We went to the Biltmore, Cades Cove-saw three bears, Joyce Kilmer and Forest. Wow those trees were so big and old! Amazing. Spent the day in Cherokee, In the river and a day hiking at deep Creek that we found in the binder. Everything was great. Wish we could take this cooler weather back with us to Tampa, FL. It was in the low 80's in the day and 60's at night. Couldn't have been more perfect. Thank you for the wonderful stay

This is such an amazing cabin set in a beautiful spot. I am happy that we had the opportunity to enjoy this gorgeous cabin!! We hate to leave and can't wait to return

This was the second time we have stayed with GSCR. It will not be our last As beautiful as your online descriptions sound, the cabins have been even better. After staying there for a week, I can understand how words fail to describe the beauty of OWLs ROOST. And when we had a problem, not related to the cabin or rental, your employee Josh handled it in a flash with class.

Had a great time. Great View, Great cabin. Rode Boat on Fontana Lake. Saw Biltmore, Cades Cove and more!

A little slice of heaven. My new favorite getaway. Everything is beyond perfect. Thank you for sharing your cabin. Will be back soon. Don't miss Dry Falls or Sliding Rock in Cashiers/Highlands. Do I really have to go home???

We came up to just get away from it all. It was so peaceful we shopped and relaxed. The grand kids loved it. We will have to invest in a set of horseshoes for home. There are no other words to explain this cabin for us except perfect. We will be back.

We had a wonderful time here at the cabin. Everything was great. There were 6 of us. I stayed in the red room upstairs. It had a wonderful view and I enjoyed waking up to a bunch of sunlight. While here we went rafting and that was fun too.

We really enjoyed our stay in Bryson City. this is the best place for a relaxing vacation. We loved the cabin. It felt like home. We hope to make it back again.
