Wonderful Stay!

This was a wonderful place to stay for the weekend! When our prior booking in Gatlinburg was unexpectedly cancelled on Christmas Day, we were more than pleasantly surprised to find such a gem in the Smokies! We appreciated the cleanliness and well-equipped kitchen for our cooking needs. The location was excellent. We would definitely stay again!

The location of this property is very private and close to the mountains, shopping, coffee shops and grocery. The house is equipped with everything you need. The hostess was great to work with and quick to respond to several needs we had. I would highly recommend this place for your next vacation.

Fiddlers Ridge Review

House was great, as described but not what we call mountain views. If you look hard between trees you could make out a mountain but my fault for not asking for long range mountain views. Perfect location to GSMRR and the kids found plenty to do-loved jumping in the leave piles.

Great house!

My family and I really enjoyed staying at this house. It fit all of us easily and had everything that we needed for our stay. It was quiet and peaceful sitting out on the patio. The host was excellent and even let us check in early. Would definitely stay here again!

Polar Express Family Vacation

I had planned our family vacation for the Polar Express Experience back in Feb 2024 for the weekend of 22 - 24 Nov. I had specific needs and this house met every expectation and exceeded them. Gene and RaeLynn were great to work with. Our ages ranged from 62 yrs old down to 20 months. The house was perfectly situated to Bryson City. Easy to get the young ones back from downtown for their naptime.

Great place to stay for hiking in the park

The property was great! We had 7 adults on a hiking weekend and everything was great. The neighborhood is a little sketchy, but didn’t cause any problems. The shower in the upstairs bathroom is perfect for a skinny midget.

Wonderful Mountain Getaway

We had the best time at Fiddlers Ridge. The house was very clean, fully stocked with everything you need for a getaway and the little touches didn’t go unnoticed. The Christmas tree and decorations were so nice. Communication with the owners was excellent and we truly enjoyed our stay. Highly Recommended!

Great House with enough space for everyone to have a room of their own. Nice touches with a Christmas tree for the holidays, made it even more special for our family. Loved the gas stove, we were able to take all of our meals at the house while there for the weekend. Definitely a house I would rent again! Owners were very accommodating in every way and responsive when contacted. We had a great time!

Beautiful and convenient property!

Conveniently located to Bryson City. We loved the mud room adjacent to the laundry/billiard room. We stored bins, bags, etc. It was great to stage our trips for rafting, fishing, GSMR, elk watching, Darnell Farm’s pumpkin patch picking, corn maze, hay ride, etc. Our 4 grand children enjoyed the property as much as parents and grandparents did. We highly recommend!

Location not as stated online

The house was adequate with communication prior to stay prompt and informative. The fact that one must leave the main house to enter the small apartment underneath was inconvenient. Locking interior stairs would have been useful. The main objection was the neighborhood. The homes and trailers on the way to the house were trashy and actually, a bit scary. It was hard to believe that house was located that close to a very trashy area. This was not revealed in the listing.

About the host

Hosted by RaeLynn & Gene

Host profile image
Your hosts are Gene and RaeLynn. Gene grew up along the coast of North Carolina. North Carolina is his favorite place in the world. His folks moved to Bryson City. Gene has been going to the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina for decades. Gene is a gunsmith.
RaeLynn grew up in Wyoming. She met Gene in Utah after he moved West because he was "sick of the beach". RaeLynn is a mom/baby nurse. She is also a professional quilter on the side. RaeLynn loves visiting the Smoky Mountains with her husband and his family.
RaeLynn & Gene love to spend time in the mountains and in nature. They love fishing and hunting and anything outdoors. Being outside resets them and grounds them. It's a great escape from the busy life that everyone seems to have these days.

Why they chose this property

We loved this property when we first saw it. It is so bright and warm and inviting. We love the nature feel inside and out. It is a very well-built custom home.

Our favorite things about the property include:
the secluded feel at the end of the road in the Smoky Mountain Forest
the half bath feels like you're in the forest with the log wall and the leaf sink
the circle wall opening between the dining room and living room- it's a cool feature
the closeness to town and all that Bryson City has to offer
the master bathroom is really nice with the glass shower and the tub
the wood beams, wood floors, and wood stove all add a warm, comfortable cabin feel
the pool room- we weren't sure what to use that space for initially but really felt that a pool table was the perfect fit for that space and for our guests
the proximity to Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Blue Ridge Parkway, the Tail of the Dragon, numerous mountain lakes, rivers, streams, and waterfalls, Great Smoky Mountain Railroad, and so much more!

There is so much that we love about this property! We really wanted to share this wonderful home with our own family and friends and other fantastic guests!
