Welcome to Blue Mountain Cottage, a family owned and treasured retreat for 70+ years. Our recently remodeled cottage (10/2019) has tongue and groove paneling inside, new flooring, and a large covered deck with vaulted ceiling, rocking chairs, ceiling fans and, of course, beautiful views! The parking area and the living areas and deck are all on one level -no steps to navigate. EVs welcome, too - level 2 charger available.

There are convenient hiking trails, with 3 waterfalls along the way, fishing and tubing (4 tubes available for guests) in the Park. 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.

Blue Mountain Cottage is all-around wonderful! I've stayed in various places in the Bryson City area over the years (& in rental cabins elsewhere, too, but Bryson City is my favorite spot on the planet. Blue Mountain is just the best of the best! Everything was exactly as promised: the view, the closeness to the Deep Creek area of the GSM national park, the convenience to Bryson City, and all the amenities. It is well-appointed, yes, and the lack of stairs made my knees happy, but best of all was that it felt so comfy, serene, and magical. Thanks so much to the hosts for sharing their vacation home: the love they feel for it shows in every detail. P.S.Don't miss the Deep Creek trail! (throwing in a photo of Tom's Branch Falls, to encourage you)

Fresh Clean and Quite

Location was close enough to Bryson City to easily access as well as all outdoor activities that attracted us to the mountains. Started each day with a fully charged EV to explore and have fun. The accommodations were outstanding. Bob provided a very helpful list of local dining options. Definite do over!

We appreciated the ease of check-in with helpful information provided by the property owner, His list of area restaurants is the best! Parking and entry to the house for loading and unloading was super convenient. We found the cottage extremely clean, comfortable and quiet. The kitchen is well equipped for people that like to cook. The location on the NE edge of Bryson City is super close to the park and away from the bustle of town. The front porch edged by the biggest hydrangea we've ever seen was a relaxing place to end the day.

We just spent 4 nights at this beautiful cabin in Bryson City and had one of our best VRBO experiences to date. The cabin was immaculately renovated, extremely clean, and had everything we needed—and more. The beds were very comfortable, the WiFi was excellent, and check-in and check-out were quick and easy.The setting is peaceful and quiet, with stunning views from the front porch—our favorite spot to relax. It’s also just a short drive into the charming town of Bryson City, which we really enjoyed exploring.Bob, the owner, was friendly and very responsive. You can tell he takes great pride in this property, and it truly shows in every detail. We would 100% recommend this place and hope to return again soon.

Beautiful views! Beautiful Home!

Everything was immaculate. Views were beautiful. It has everything you could want in a vacation home. Walk in shower was perfect for my 84 year old mom and her friend. GPS brings you straight to it. Kitchen has anything you need to cook anything you want. Host Bob was so easy to work with and stayed in touch from booking to after stay. Highly recommend this home.

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 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.

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.
