Sunset

Cons: it's a hike to get to the cabanas. You need a moment after walking up the hills and steps. Rebars holding steps could be knocked down a bit. They're dangerous. Half of the lights on the pathway don't work. You need a flashlight as to not step on a snake. Pros: It's gorgeous. The view is amazing. If you are looking to spend time with your significant other, it's perfect. The cabana is beautifully decorated, everything was nice, crisp, clean, and the sun, the sunset, then dark, was amazing. We did the 7:30-9:00 and it was simply breathtaking. It does take a bit to fill the tub but who cares with views like that. No contact checking and was private.

If you haven't been to this area, you must go at least once in a lifetime! I enjoyed this spa while vacationing in the Bryson City. I highly reccommend you make reservations, this is a spa retreat with lodging options, very nice Italian themed breakfast area. Great experience for all, booking is very easy, they do honor military discounts. I had a private cabana nestled in the trees, which included a bottle of champagne with glasses, very refreshing bath salts, and nice music. The views, décor, flower petals on the floor, and cabana was amazing! You could see lake Fontana from the top, very private and peaceful time. I felt really relaxed and recharged afterwards. They do have a pool for use down a very steep hill, its worth checking out before you leave. The water a bit cold for us, so we didn't use. There is a small hike to the cabana, but worth it. I literally felt like I was in Italy, loved it all. Overall it was enjoyable experience! The staff were very professional and helpful.

We stayed here for few nights about 8 years ago and really enjoyed this boutique inn and spa. This time we were passing by and decided to try out their brand new offering - treehouse soaking cabanas. We sure were not disappointed. Great views and very relaxing. 90 minutes flew by so fast - I did not want to leave.

Pure relaxing bliss!

Lakeview is an amazing romantic escape, so close to Charlotte. My husband and I have visited twice and loved the experience each time. It has the feel of an old world European hotel. We enjoyed sitting on the patio sipping wine and playing board games. Pure bliss in the treetop soaking tub. If you go make sure you book a soak in the tub, it was worth every penny we enjoyed the gorgeous scenery from the treetop tub and all around the resort. The rooms are quite basic, but had everything we needed. Breakfast was very tasty and we developed a love for French pressed coffee. I recommend Lakeview to all of my friends. Getting ready to schedule our next visit. This time I will take advantage of the yoga classes and spa amenities.

Just got back from a girls' getaway at Lakeview. What a treat! Beautiful scenery, yummy breakfasts, and heavenly spa treatments. Plus, with shopping in downtown Bryson City and hiking close by, it's the total package for a perfect weekend. I live in TN so I'm used to having mountains but this scenery I could not get over. The ride up was beautiful. Our cottage was quaint and perfect. Breakfast was a wonderful variety of fruits, pastries, and granola. From there I went to the spa for a massage. It was amazing. I wish I could've spent all day there. Tiffany was awesome. The owner (?) was super sweet and helpful. We spent a lot of time in the office sampling and inquiring about the spa products they have for sale. Glad I splurged and bought some to bring home. All in all it was a great experience and we are already talking about going back. Can't wait for the treetop cabana to open!

We stayed in the Watershed 03 Cabin from December 25th - January 3rd 2025 - 9 days. First let me…read moresay that the cabin is BEAUTIFUL.. but.... the active stink bug infestation we encountered was not something we would expect at this level of cabin. I reached out to Watershed immediately upon arrival to notify them of the large amount of dead bugs we found when we inspected the cabin and were told - sorry for the inconvenience, the stink bugs are harmless and if you'd like we can send someone to come sweep up the dead bugs. They admitted that they set off several bug bombs and the many dead bugs we found were a result of that. They also went on to say that almost every home in the mountains has some sort of bug issue... The stink bugs we encountered were a huge problem and combatting them during our 9 day stay was horrifying. They were into everything and were everywhere. In and on the dishes, in our food, crawling on us while we were enjoying games or tv and at one point I had 1 stuck in my hair. Do better Watershed! If you can't rectify the issue then either don't rent the unit until the issue has been resolved or at the very least communicate this to the renter so they can make an informed decision about wanting to deal with a pest control issue. Sadly we were NOT given this choice. As a renter were expected to follow pages and pages of rules - but you NOT disclosing a pest control issue is not only unfair but shows the lack of respect you have for renters. Sadly, we ended up cutting our vacation early due to an issue that again was not communicated to us. We have been visiting the mountains for many years and have NEVER experienced a cabin with a bug problem until now.

Second stay at a cabin at Watershed and I love it. Cabins are clean and perfectly appointed. There…read moreare two common areas to gather if you rent multiple cabins as a large group with cornhole boards, fire pits, and party lights. Our cabin also had a fire pit, a hot tub, and party lights. The service and communication is top notch. We wanted for nothing! There are tons of carpenter bees which may seem unsettling, but typically ignore people. We will be back!

I must say. If anyone has anything bad to say about this place they just are unsatisfied People…read morein general. You don't come to Bryson to have a perfect stay anyway. You come to hike, kayak, bike, fish and enjoy the outdoors, but it was a wonderful stay. The only, and I say only because I was pleasantly surprised by everything, the only down side is the resort has room view options: mountain views or street views. I know this because we had such an awesome time we booked another night! The last night we had to switch rooms and the traffic on the new room/view of the road the resort is off of is loud! Nevertheless the staff was nice, all updated furniture & appliances.(not that I care about that) small shower. But the rooms with odd numbers have the mountain views and they are breath taking. The diner that is built in also has the best French toast I've ever encountered. If you like sea food - GET the TROUT ... It's always freshly caught right in the next town called Andrews. And the master chef is an amazing cook. All in all we will be coming back here in the Autumn. We seriously fell in love with the area and everything Bryson City had to offer.

We made reservations for our family and two service dogs. We ensured they are pet friendly and…read moreinformed them of our service dogs status. No issues until we check in when the management claimed we can have the service dogs during our stay, caged or with us at all times. We of course had no idea of this last minute demand and do not have a cage nor have we ever been told by any other establishment to have our set iced dogs in crates if left unattended. We have travel from Colorado to Florida for almost a decade with our service k9's. Mind you we travelled 6 hours for this trip. Once in the room for the evening the only bed in the cabin was as broken. The bed frame was broken in two pieces and collapsing in the middle, rendering it unusable. We called/text the manager/owner at the time of the incident , 11pm and the number we were provided . We received no response or reply. We slept on the floor until the next morning and still no manager contacted us. We called again the next morning at 0800 and got the owner and told her the situation and we are checking out early because of the above. Her exact words were, "ok" "I'll send maintenance". We waited for maintenance and they never showed. We finally left. No offer for any compensation for our subpar accommodations, no apologies for the terrible experience. In fact we got charged for the entire stay!!! Of 2 days yet only stayed one horrible night. Just disgusted. They are not pet friendly as claimed and lack professionalism and a basic sense of duty to their business and customers. The management was informed via cell/text at the time of incident no response at anytime. We had to contact them. It's ironic management responded to this review faster then a call for late night service. At no time were we contacted back from management for the service/ maintenance issue.
