Hummingbird stay
The cabin was not clean. Needs a good deep cleaning of baseboards, lamps, windows and sills, under the sofa. We needed a blanket as the bed comforter was very heavy, but there was not one. There was no dish soap. The cabin is very dark with heavy brown blinds all pulled shut. Landscaping a mess.

The property is in a cocoon of trees with only the sounds of nature around you. Very relaxing, well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, pretty decent wifi. Comfortable spaces to sit and chat, enjoy your coffee, read, or just stare at nature, both inside the house and outside. The area around offers lots of outside activities to stay active.

Nice Chalet in the mountains
We had a wonderful stay at this property. It is a cosy place in the mountains. Our family of 5 had plenty of room and enjoyed our stay here. The boys enjoyed fishing in the pond and playing in the valley yard just down the street from the house. This was a very low key vacation for us and stayed close by most of the time. We did venture to Bryson City (25 min away) and did the train ride which was fun and went to Cherokee (40 min away) once and saw elk. It was the perfect vacation for us.

Stecoah Almond area
This is a great rental home in the Stecoah Almond area. We enjoyed the outside deck and the home. It was perfectly set up for 2 familes ... 4 adults. There is a bedroom and bath upstairs that allows privacy for everyone. It is pet friendly and is well stocked with supplies. No issues with property management and everything that we wanted to use was in working order. It was exactly what we had expected and very relaxing place to stay.

Cute cabin
The cabin was very clean and spacious for my family of 5. Everyone had a bed to sleep in. The decor & design was really cute w/ some modern, recent upgrades. The location was further from Bryson City than I realized. I should’ve checked the mileage before booking so that’s on me. It took us about 20 mins to get to and from the town. If you’re looking for a private, secluded cabin in the woods, this is the place for you. Make sure you have all of your groceries & supplies before arriving since a store or gas station is not near by. If you’re going in the summer, just know there’s no central air and 2 of the window units weren’t working well during our stay. The master upstairs was so warm and stuffy. We couldn’t even use a blanket to sleep. The air in the living room works great though!! There’s no view either. A couple of the photos show a view of the mountain area but I think this is the case in the winter when the trees/leaves are bare. The trees are taller than the cabin and really close so the only thing we could see when stepping outside was the tops of the trees. The pavilion & pond are about a 5-8 mins walk across the road from the cabin. The description state “on property” which means that section is used by the cabins in the area.

Wonderful, clean cabin in a great neighborhood
We had such a great vacation at Hummingbird Hideaway. The cabin was incredibly clean, linens were soft and homey (and also very clean), and the layout was fantastic for our family of five. We really enjoyed walking around the common lawn with the creek running through, and the kids loved their swim in the pond. Great communication with the owner, friendly neighbors, and just an awesome all-around trip. The upper driveway was doable for flatlander drivers in a minivan - just a bit intimidating at first. The lower driveway worked out great also and is a very useful alternative for additional vehicles, or if you just aren't up for the hill. We would recommend this place 100% and hope to return soon!

Needs Heat
This house was extremely cold. The cold air comes through every window even the window in the bathroom when you're trying to take a shower. There were bugs but not surprised there the house is setting on a hill back up to the woods. The driveway is horrible! . The beds are terrible don't expect to get a good night sleep at all and the beds are full not queens. You have to call the owners mother to get a code to get in which she was super nice. Good luck.

We loved the fishing pond!
The cabin was very clean, well-stocked, enjoyable, and private. We walked back and forth to the sunny fishing pond several times while we were there. My oldest son loved fishing with a rod, my husband had fun with a cast-net, and my youngest son enjoyed paddling around in an inflatable boat, riding his bike on the gravel road near the grassy Property Owners Association common land, and rolling down the hill of the dam. We had everything we needed to cook meals and enjoy time together as a family with our dog. It would be fun to go back in the summer and do some of the rafting or zip-lining adventures we saw driving up!
