Stacked Stone Retreat - Bryson City Luxury Log Home close to town

Custom built luxury log home that is conveniently located only about 5 minutes from town, 10 minutes from Deep Creek and Road to Nowhere, 15 minutes from the NOC and Fontana Lake. This home sits on 2 private acres that are beautifully landscaped so that you can enjoy peace and quiet as a base camp for your mountain adventure. Go hiking, ride the train, visit the local shops, restaurants, and breweries in downtown Bryson City without having to navigate a steep driveway! A huge deck extends the entire way around with a covered porch on one side where you can relax and hear the birds chirping or wave to the passing Great Smoky Mountain Railroad guests. A massive stacked Tennessee Field Stone gas fireplace allows you to relax in the main living area. Visiting for the holidays? A cook's kitchen featuring 2 ovens, a gas range, a wet bar and lots of granite counter top space make food prep easy. The master (King) is on the main level with exterior doors onto the porch and a nice bathroom that has a huge Jacuzzi tub and a tile shower. 2 bedrooms upstairs (1 Queen, 2 twins) each with their own baths. The downstairs has a large family room with another massive hearth, a bedroom (King) with a bath and double vanity sinks, another whirlpool tub and stand up tile shower. Internet, cell reception, and a desk is also available (a rare find in the mountains) if you need to do a little virtual work while you’re away. This is truly a beautiful home that we hope your family can enjoy as much as we do.

A pack n play, rocking chair, and children’s toys and books are available to make your vacation packing easy!

Great house, roomy and comfortable.

House is great! Plenty of room. It would be helpful to have a TV and DVD player in LR, so family can interact more while cooking, etc. Safe area with view of railroad tracks.

Beautiful home in beautiful Bryson NC

We enjoyed our stay at this wonderful home. It was spotless and well stocked with everything needed to enjoy your time there. You can relax and do nothing or be busy doing a different activity everyday. The location is great, a bit secluded but close to most things you’ll want to do. We all had a great time and hope to enjoy another week there in the future.

Family vacation

This was an AMAZING property for our family vacation. Me, my husband, our 2 sons and their wives and our 5 grandchildren ranging in age from 9 months to 10 years old. The host was incredibly responsive to all of my questions. So much to do in Bryson City AND we saw the train pass EVERY DAY from the deck of the house!

We had 3 small families with 3 babies and 2 kids. This cabin was perfect for our needs. It was clean, comfortable and well stocked with linens, kitchen supplies and toys. From a thermostat for each level, to the comfy beds, to the room to play inside and out, we loved it!

Perfect for our family.

This 4 bedroom 4 1/2 bath home was really great. We always take our family on an annual trip for New Years. We had 4 couples so everyone had their own space. There were also gathering spaces on the main level and on the lower level which gave us plenty of room to play games, watch TV, or just watch our grandkids play.

Wonderful Weekend Home Base

We traveled to share the same Santa’s Land with our grandkids that their moms enjoyed 25 years earlier. This house was a great home base for our long weekend trip. The grands loved the toy options and the adults loved the house layout and well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed making wonderful memories while at the house, s’mores at the fire pit, walking/sitting several areas provided outdoors, and definitely waving to the passengers coming by on the steam engine train ride that we saw loading up earlier that morning while we visited Bryson City for a delicious breakfast at Everett Street Diner.

Very Relaxing Stay

All six humans and one dog really enjoyed our stay. We particularly liked the wrap around porch where we spent many early mornings and evenings. Overall the house was very inviting with the two bottom levels being used the most. We enjoyed having no houses in sight and very nice landscaping. Although we were in our own private forest we were five minutes from a very nice grocery store and just beyond, Bryson City which was fun to walk through after a day in the park. In short we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to any moderate sized family group (or group of friends).

Relaxing mountain cabin

We absolutely loved our time at this cabin! The beds were very comfortable and property was spacious. There is only one TV in the basement, but it was great to unplug and spend time with family. Internet worked perfectly and I was able work without any issues. The main amenties that attracted us to this cabin were 1) the limited number of steps to enter the property (my 85 year old mother was with us), 2) pet friendly, 3) step in shower on main floor, 4) internet, 5) 2 king size beds. Will definitely stay again! Thank you for sharing your home.

Charming Log Home in Bryson City

We rented this property with another family and it was perfect for all of us. Close to town but far enough away to feel removed from the hustle and bustle of Bryson City. The property was clean and well cared for, every bedroom had a private bathroom, kitchen was stocked and has a fabulous fire pit to enjoy outside. Our only suggestions were that they could use a new set of bath towels/hand towels in each bathroom (they were worn and small) and dish towels in the kitchen. A great perk of this property is the train runs by about 3 times each day and the kids LOVED waving to their friends from the porch.

Perfect Getaway Home!

Exceeded all expectations! Beds were all super comfy, house is well stocked, location is convenient to tons of outdoor activities and shopping/ dining. Host was very responsive and easy to work with. We traveled with kids ranging from 4-11, as well as grandparents. The house accommodated all needs perfectly. We spent a ton of time on the huge porch and enjoyed the large fire pit for hot dogs and s’mores. Our kids were thrilled to be able to see the GSMR train go by right from the hill above the house. While in viewing distance- the train isn’t intrusive to the property at all. We look forward to staying here again in the future!

Overall a good stay

The house was very nice, however there were a few disappointments. The upstairs bedroom stated on the listing that there is a queen bed, but it was a full size with a severe sag in the middle of the mattress which was uncomfortable. The driveway was hard to enter and exit with my Corvette due to the sharp angle from the road in front, and scraped the new front spoiler I just installed which will require repair of the finish. Also, the WIFI was bad and took forever to download anything. There is no TV available unless you have a Netflix or Amazon Video account, so we couldn't watch any TV, and only one TV in the whole house which was downstairs. Kitchen was great and main king bedrooms were nice. Spent time on the deck, nice view. The couches and chairs could definitely use replacement as most were pretty broke down.
