About this property

The Bryson City Farmhouse - Railroad History in Downtown!

Our doors opened in June 2018 after 457 days of restoration! Featured in Our State's Around Town series and American Farmhouse, Sixty-One Park is a historic farmhouse located in the heart of downtown Bryson City. Bryson City has been called “The Tiny Town in the Middle of Everything” and Sixty-One Park is right downtown, just a short walk to the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, breweries, local parks and all the cutest shops and restaurants. Perfect set up for a family vacation or a trip with friends!

The Sixty-One Park Farmhouse has been fully brought up to date with all modern comforts while keeping all the farmhouse character. The farmhouse has 4 bedrooms and sleeps eight comfortably. The downstairs has an open floor plan with the kitchen, living room, dining room and game room. The farmhouse has multiple living areas for reading, resting and personal space. A large screen TV is located in the living room. We’ve stocked the farmhouse with books and board games as well. We’ve tried to think of every detail that will make your stay perfection. In the warmer months our succulent wall and National Park-inspired charcoal grill make for great entertaining. In November and December the house is fully decked out for Christmas and the Polar Express.

From Sixty-One Park you can walk to the nearby seasonal Friday farmers’ market for fresh produce from our local farmers, honey from our local beekeepers and crafts from local artisans. Walk along the river and put your feet in the cool water at nearby Island Park. Hop in the car and drive just 2.5 miles to the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Three waterfalls are within a short hiking distance and in the spring/summer you can bring your inner tube to float down the gentle rapids of Deep Creek. Nearby favorite day trips include Cherokee, Gatlinburg, and Asheville.

There is an external security camera actively recording the driveway outside of the house.

Always the best stay

This is our second time staying at the Bryson City Farmhouse and it’s by far our favorite place to stay when we come to Bryson City. It’s so perfectly decorated, comfortable and being a short walk from downtown is great. My favorite part is honestly enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning and watching the groundhog munch in the backyard. My 10 year has requested that this be the property we rent from now on when we visit so I guess that’s what we’ll be doing!

This house is so perfect! Walking distance to downtown and the train depot was just down the hill! It was clean and ready when we arrived. Just the amount of space the 5 of us needed! Owners did a great job on the remodel! Great mix of new and old.

Perfect place for Polar Express!

We took the grandkids (2 of which are crazy for trains) to ride the Polar Express and this property was perfect! From the close proximity (walking distance), to all the train related toys and books, the kids loved it! The house has tons of history and the owners took great care to preserve it. Every detail has been considered to make guests feel at home.

Our Happy Place is Bryson City

My family and I were thrilled to stay in another of Ashley's properties. We come to Bryson City every summer, and our best experiences have been when we stay at Hazel House and now the Farmhouse. The property is perfectly clean every time and well stocked. The beds are also beautifully comfortable, and we all slept great. We are looking forward to booking again for next summer!

Fantastic!

A beautiful historic home in a fantastic location made our getaway very enjoyable. Everything we needed was there. We had six adult guests and there was plenty of room inside or outside to enjoy each other’s company without feeling cramped. Town was walkable from the home (there is a bit of a hill on the return trip). The kitchen was well appointed and had what we needed. We easily parked three MINI Coopers in the driveway. We very much enjoyed the historic pieces around the home and the railroad theme. We plan to return!

Excellent!

Very warm and spotless homey place, away from home. As rated 5 stars all the way! Ashley’s attention to detail was impeccable. She’s a super host indeed and A1 “tourist guide.” She took the time to give us pointers on Bryson City’s attractions, even delivered blankets for us to take to watch the sunset! It’s a beautiful farmhouse in a quiet location, yet close to downtown Bryson. We stayed for 4 nights, and ventured to neighboring towns. It’s truly relaxing to come home to our “home sweet home.” I’m hoping to come back in the fall with my family, and experience Nantahala Nature Center. Thank you Ashley for a very memorable stay. Cheers! .

All the historic charm & comfort

We were so impressed with The Farmhouse. No complaints. The property is immaculate. Everything you could need is provided. The quality of the furnishings is excellent. I’m always a stickler for having the right type of bedding & we were very happy with it. Plenty of extra pillows & blankets were available. The property is centrally located in town which is wonderful to have the amenities so close by. We spent a lot of time at Deep Creek & being at The Farmhouse was so convenient. Out of the many times we’ve stayed in BC this has been our favorite BnB by far. All the modern essentials with the historic charm. Thank you, for providing such a wonderful experience & venue to share with our family in our favorite city. This was our first time staying so long and it truly felt like home away from home.

About the host

Hosted by Ashley

Host profile image
I live in the Great Smoky Mountains in the adorable small town of Bryson City. I am a full-time artist and have a small gallery/art studio at 120 Main Street. My husband is co-owner of Bryson City Outdoors/Taproom and the BCO Market/Bryson Bakery. We are partners with the Perkins Builder Brothers and have saved many old houses in the area. We love our cute little town and the beautiful mountains that surround it.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is located right downtown with an easy walk to restaurants, shops and the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad Depot. The central location is only a few miles away from the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and also a great location for day trips to Ashevlle, Gatlinburg, Cashiers, Franklin and Fontana. Also being right downtown in the winter is a plus because the roads are quickly cleared.
