It is less than 2 miles to downtown Bryson City and the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad. We are centrally located. For rafting and kayaking, the Nantahala Outdoor center is only 23 minutes away. It's only 20 minutes to Cherokee and the Blue Ridge Parkway and only an hour to Asheville.

Home away from home with a view

I loved our stay and enjoyed the view. The house was clean and cozy and just a minute or two from downtown Bryson City. We also enjoyed our hike at the Nat’l Park. Definitely a 5 🌟 place to stay

Great place to stay!

Such a nice quiet place to get away. Close to the Smokey Mountains for hiking. The deck is the perfect place to start and end the day soaking up the views. Comfortable beds and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook all of our meals.

Best Vrbo we'we found

This house is very clean and modern. The view from the front porch is awesome. It's close to everything in the area. The property manager is great. It took us a bit to realize we could park close enough to the back porch for the wheelchair ramp from my van to reach the back porch but after that I had no problem coming and going.

Great Experience

Enjoyed the location and especially the view sitting on the deck. The host has thought about everything you would need. The kitchen has everything you need and there are plenty of games and puzzles. There is a charcoal grill. It would have been great to have had a gas grill.

Great Get-away

Went to the mountains to escape the Florida heat, and we weren’t disappointed. The Blue Mountain Cottage was perfect for us! Fully furnished with everything we needed. We loved sitting on the back porch each evening watching the full panoramic sunset, sipping wine and then enjoying the fire pit. You can hear the soothing sound of the water from Deep Creek. Highly recommend this cottage to anyone wanting a real retreat.

Spacious home next door to Deep Creek trails

If you visit in Oct, you will be fighting massive crowds in this popular national park. Thankfully, this lodging is literally next door to Deep Creek, so we could be one of the first ones at that trail. The home is spacious and comfortable, with a beautiful view. Especially loved the Stressless recliner for reading at night.

Fabulous location

This is the second time we have stayed here and thoroughly enjoy the space and location. Communication with the owner is top notch. We hike when we come here, the amount of trails is endless. Many other towns are nearby for your traveling and dining pleasure. Everything you need is within a few minutes drive. The view from the porch looks fake to me as it is very beautiful and too perfect. The owners are continuously putting thought into making the place more comfortable, couldn't ask for more.

2nd Stay and Awesome Again!!!

We love this cabin! We have been visiting Bryson City for years and stayed at many cabins, Blue Mountain is our favorite!! The location, porch view, flowers, accommodations, and amenities can’t be beat! Excellent communication, easy in/out, very clean, super comfy beds/pillows, and we LOVE being able to walk to Deep Creek and use the provided tubes for tubing!!! Bob and Heidi have thought of everything (including binoculars for bird watching from the porch). Don’t change a thing, we hope to return again soon. Thank you for sharing your stay!

Thanksgiving week

Me, my hisband and 12 year old son stayed at this beautiful cottage for the week. The cottage was bigger inside than we thought it would be. The home has been completely remodeled and is beautifully done. The views were gorgeous. Couldnt wait to wake up to look at the view. Me and my son walked thr short walk to Deep Creek and went hiking. Would love to stay in the summer to enjoy the water since there is an area with steps to enter the river just a block or 2 away from the cottage. Cant wait for our next trip

Anniversary trip

Lovely property. Older but recently renovated home. Easy access. Very Well supplied throughout, even paper plates and kitchen baggies/ziplocks. We borrowed the small cooler for packing our lunch. Great view. Quiet. No Visible neighbors. Comfortable bed. No complaints. Easy communication with host. Was kool to have tubes for the park stream so no rental required which meant no lines! GSMPark and Deep Creek is 5 minutes away. We drove. Is within walking distance but is a rather narrow road.

Their home became our home (for a week)

The owner communicated early and as needed throughout the reservation and arrival process to make us feel relaxed and welcome. Access to everything in the cottage and the surrounding area was wonderfully easy! The cottage was exceptionally clean and well-provisioned with towels, blankets, and many other essentials that one doesn't often find in a rental cabin/cottage. The location is ideal. The Smoky Mountain National Park and Deep Creek Campground are within walking distance, though for safety reasons, I recommend you drive in and park to avoid having to walk on the narrow road. The owner provided a list of ideas for adventures with details to help choose and find. While we did do the obvious, such as the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad (GSMR), Nantahala Gorge Excursion, we also took a bumpy twisting ride in our Jeep Wrangler 4x4 down Balsam Mountain Road/Heintooga Round Bottom Road, which the owner described in his catalog of local adventure ideas. We saw a lot of elk and other wildlife but no bears, which may be a good thing.🙂 There is so much to do in the Bryson City, NC area! I highly recommend this property for short-stay vacations.

Perfectly tranquil long-term stay

Our month-long stay at the cottage was incredible! The hosts had just been there, and we were greeted with beverages upon arrival. We immediately fell in love with the spacious and airy feel of the house. The fully stocked kitchen was a huge bonus, as was the vast selection of reading material and other treasures. The tranquil surroundings offered us a much-needed sense of privacy and peace. It's beautifully and thoughtfully landscaped. The highlight of the property was definitely the deck - stunning views of the national park, valley, mountains, and even the creek! We took countless walks around Deep Creek and the trails, and spotted deer, turkey, hawks, and rabbits. Although the property is only a few minutes away from downtown Bryson City, the cottage felt like a secluded retreat. Our hosts were wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We were sad to leave, but we are grateful for the unforgettable memories we made at this beautiful property!

About the host

Hosted by Bob Wilkins

Host profile image
We live in central Florida, but love to escape the heat. My wife and I finally retired in 2024 so we are using the cottage more frequently, but when we are not, we welcome you to enjoy our slice of paradise!

Why they chose this property

Location is hard to beat. Our property adjoins the Great Smoky Mountains National park and you literally are a very short walking distance to the Deep Creek recreation area. Easy access - no brutal steep mountain driveways to traverse. And downtown Bryson City is less than 2 miles away.

What makes this property unique

Mixture of modern and rustic, but very comfortable with nice views from our front deck. Lots of birds, and usually wild turkeys, rabbits, groundhogs, and deer can be seen. Occasional bear sighted.
