Mercedith Bacon was the utmost hostess and toured us through a variety of rooms and cabin options. You can just feel and see the love she has put into her work of over 30 years. On a whitewater rafting trip, the cabin, complete to the last detail was a great place to relax and enjoy the setting she has created. Great location and will return as well as refer my clients to her wonderful hospitality and the comforts she makes available.

Stayed two nights in one of the cabins here. Our trip was decided a bit last minute but we were lucky to find accommodation here. The view, the comfortable cabin that had a perfect little kitchenette and a clean bathroom was ideal for us as a couple traveling with our 4 year old. Restaurants and shops were at walking distance although we drove around the city because it was quite cold at the time! Would love to visit the city and stay here again!

I arrived late and she was wonderful. We talked for a bit and she was so friendly like I had known her my whole life :). I stayed in one of the rooms it was neat it had everything I could want or need for a week stay but it was only to sleep really. I'd stay in the room 4 again. They even had a cute kids bed in a little loft :). The town is a great little town. Very quiet. The room came with breakfast at a local diner. The B&B was close to lots of attractions like the road to nowhere, deep creek (trails and waterfalls, and other things but I was just passing through. Oh yeah and it had one of those awesome bearclaw tubs!!!

The location is fine, the parking lot a problem watch your fenders! The place reminded me of staying with an old Aunt, old things everywhere, shag carpet that looked a bit dingy and not sure just how clean it was! i wouldn't stay here again and I can't imagine why the reviews are so good unless they stayed in the cabin like units. Its an old place with a cool name.

We are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay with us, and that you would not return in the future. We can assure you that the bed and breakfast is spotless, as we take pride in having clean rooms and common areas for our guests. As far as staying with an old aunt goes...we do not see anything wrong with staying with your aunt no matter if she is young or old, and the things that you call old we consider as charming (adding a comfortable home-like fell to our establishment). Again we are sorry that you were surprised by the way our bed and breakfast was set up, because we feel like the pictures on our website and on Tripadvisor give a great view of what our Bed and Breakfast looks like on the inside and out. Our parking situation can be a bit tricky when all accommodations are full, but it is not something that we can figure out a solution for if you have an issue with it. Thank you, - From all of us at West Oak

We never saw the proprietor of this Bed & Breakfast. The cabin was adequate, however, in our opinion, was too expensive considering the run-down condition of the entire property. The driveway is suicidal; in fact, we dinged up our brand new bumper trying to turn around in the totally inadequate driveway. Next time we visit the Smokies, we will find a more suitable cabin.

We stopped here last minute winding our way through the western part of NC while doing some fly fishing and exploring. This is a nice place located in Bryson City. We reserved a room but were upgraded to a cabin which was really nice. Nice view of the mountains, but I want to make clear for anyone traveling that you know what you are getting. This is directly in Bryson City, about one street away from down town, so while you can see the mountains you are located simply on a side street overlooking the town. You're definitely not out in nature. This is not a problem, just a clarification in case you're looking for a true nature experience.
With the upgrade, we got breakfast included and was nice at the diner, within walking distance and a nice scenic walk over a river.
All in all, super nice little place!

We were traveling with three adults and an 18 month old and needed lodging to accommodate all of our needs. We were planning to travel to Bryson City to ride the train and needed rooms for two nights. We were traveling at the end of peak color season and knew lodging would be difficult. I contacted Mercedith at West Oak and she had two rooms available off sight of the current B&B that she was willing to rent to us. We rented rooms 6 & 7. The rooms were located in her home which is about a 15 minute ride from the original B&B. Merecedith was gracious enough to stay late (we didn't arrive until 12:30pm) and escort us to her home and our rooms. The two rooms were similar is size and layout, room 6 has a king sized bed and room 7 has a queen. The rooms were well thought out and had everything we needed including a Keourig with an assortment of teas and coffees. Each room had its own entrance, bathroom, small refrigerator with water, microwave, and granola bars. The rooms had TV, chairs, and a small couch. The room was large and beautifully decorated and both the rooms and the bathrooms were spotless. The beds were comfortable. We had a patio we could step out on and watch the sunrise over the mountains. The rooms come with breakfast and our choice of Fyemont Inn or Everett Street Diner. We were riding the train and chose Everett Street Diner for both breakfast dates, and even returned to the diner for lunch and the best coconut cream pie! Yum! Our waitress was the same both breakfast and lunch on Saturday. Wonderful family atmosphere, simple food, and a great waitress! We ate at the Cork and Bean for dinner. Mercedith called when we returned to ask if we had been happy with our accommodations and to thank us for choosing the B&B. We assured her we would return here. We had a beautiful train ride, great weather, and a wonderful show of color from the Great Smoky Mountains.

Went to Bryson City to go on The Polar Express with my grandachildren. Made reservations to stay at West Oak BandB. We had two rooms 4 and 5. My daughter and grandchildren stayed in room 4, it had a queen size bed plus a bunk bed that was in the wall, the kiddos loved it plus it had a full kitchen and a washer and dryer. My husband and I were in room 5, we had 2 queen beds. We could just walk down the hill, a fifteen minute walk, and be at the GRSMR. Mercedith was not there when we arrived but did have everything ready. Would stay again if we ever went back to Bryson City.

We booked a room for 4 night stay during IFC World Kayak Championships. We were pleasantly surprised that Mercedith had upgraded us to cabin #3. The cabin was quaint with a very confortable bed and plenty of room for 2 people (it also has a doble bed pull out couch). Very quiet & nestled in the trees. Our only suggestion is to travelers that like to sleep in past dawn, bring eye shades as the cathedral windows are not covered. Location was great, very close to the heart of downtown Bryson City but away from any traffic noise. We ate breakfast each day at the Everett Street Diner (included) and had great food, great choices & very warm service-by day 2 we felt like "regulars".

We are glad that you enjoyed your stay at West Oak and that you did not mind the upgrade! We hope you enjoyed watching the Kayaking Championships and visiting the surrounding area. The Everett Street Diner is a local hot-spot when is comes to breakfast and we are glad to be able to offer our guests the option of having breakfast there instead of cooking for them! We hope to see you in Bryson City again sometime! Thank you, - From all of us at West Oak

"We loved both of our rooms! We stayed in room 6 which is right under the upstairs front room and could hear some movement. Room 7 is toward the back of the house and may be quieter. The movement and occasional noise didn't bother us!"
