For each trip, we have spent three full days and we have yet to eat out at a restaurant since I love to cook and the kitchen is pretty well appointed at Stecoah Cabin. It was bittersweet to see Sky Ridge Yurts being ranked #1 glamping spot in the entire US by USA Today survey. Well deserved, but I hope we still have our sweet hide-away and it doesn't get too hard to reserve or expensive by demand.

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.

It may be great in the summer but this is off season and there is none of that. The stables were open, but I saw no one. It's a one ply toilet paper inn. The bistro and bar they advertise has not been open since the pandemic. For breakfast you get a mini sausage and biscuit and a mini cup for coffee. Rooms do not have daily housekeeping. Worse yet, it is advertised as being in Bryson City, it is 8.3 miles away from the downtown area and activity. The doors to the lobby close at 6 PM. After that you are on your own.It also gives the feel of a motel, not a resort. Because we were so far away from the action, we ended up being in bed by 7 pm. There were too many winding roads to risk going to a bar or any other night life that far away. I do like something about this place. I could see it being a real neat resort. It is homey and has a nostalgic atmosphere. But during November it is bland. Maybe it's days gone by. Will I be back? Maybe in the summer. But it needs a better variety of breakfast food, a good restaurant and bar to survive.

It is quite near the Nantahala Outdoor Center and also the town of Bryson City, NC.

They even offer a 'smores pack' for your campfire at night! The view of the mountains is SPECTACULAR. We loved it and plan to come back again!

There are some fire pits and we made a fire every evening and again when we woke up. Nice to sit by the fire and warm ourselves given the 45F lows when we were there. Overall a nice campground, with a friendly and helpful owner. He brought us firewood, and even some ice from his home. The bath house was easily the cleanest I have seen anywhere!
