Loved it! A large mountain home. Plenty of space for family movie and game night. Large hot tub. The sunroom off the master is where I spent most of my time. Wall to wall windows put you relaxing in the trees. The backyard stairs go into the water. So much fun.

This is the cutest cabin, with everything you need to have a lovely, cozy stay in Bryson City. Everything was so new. The porch is gorgeous and we used the fire pit outside—very autumn on purpose. I’m going back as soon as I can:)

Awesome old, historic Inn. No TVs in the room and spotty WIFI did not detract from the wonderful staff, delicious breakfast and overall good vibes. An incredible value for a peaceful nights sleep, beautiful setting and delicious coffee and breakfast.

We really enjoyed our stay at Cozy Bear Inn. Check-in was a breeze, our stay was not expensive and the best part was it is pet friendly so we were able to take our fur babies with us. The room smelled clean when we walked in and nobody bothered us the entire time we were there! We definitely recommend staying here to anyone who plans to visit Maggie Valley. We plan to stay there any time we travel to the area.
