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? ***In 2025 we will decorate the house for Christmas in mid-November!***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 location was great in relation to Bryson City and all the things the area has to offer. The house was cozy and beds were comfortable with plenty of room for the 8 guests we had. Hosts were easy to communicate with and we will consider staying again when in the area.

We have rented cabins in the Bryson City area for many years. This was among the best properties. Easy to access, convenient to Bryson, and the amenities were excellent. Everyone enjoyed the stay.

Our stay was wonderful as we visited to ride the Polar Express in Bryson City! We had two families with five kids combined and were more than comfortable at the house! There was plenty of room but areas to divide up at the same time. The top floor did get bit cold at nighttime, but the hosts provided plenty of blankets and ways to remedy that. Stephanie and Matt were super responsive when I had questions prior to our arrival and helpful when they were able to provide an early check-in. Peaceful area that is close to everything if you need, but far enough away to avoid people/traffic! Would definitely stay again!

All we really did was use this as our place to sleep each night, but we had a really comfortable stay. 4 couples, each with their own room and full bathroom really made this stay feel luxurious. And divided 4 ways, its very affordable this way.

We are a family of 9, all adults. We frequently rent a home so we can all stay together when we travel. This property was perfect for us. Kitchen is well-equipped, the bed were comfy and we loved hanging out outside. We enjoyed the firepit, covered outdoor spaces and just sitting in the rockers on the wrap-around porch. Would highly recommend this property for your family visits to the Bryson City area.

Perfect place to stay in Bryson!!

This home is WONDERFUL. Plenty of space, phenomenal outdoor areas, super convenient (yet still out of the way) location, and a top-notch, exceptionally responsive host. We are already eager to find time to return to Bryson City and stay at this house again. Thank you to Steph for answering all of my questions and providing such a fantastic home-away-from-home for our family's stay.

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie Begansky

Host profile image
We are a young family that loves the great outdoors. This home was our primary residence for a few years until our Active Duty status moved us away. We hope to return full time some day but meanwhile wanted to share this home with other families to create wonderful mountain memories!

Why they chose this property

We love how close this house is to town, hiking trails, the Nantahala Outdoor Center, Great Smoky Mountain National Park, and Fontana Lake! Everyday you can have a new adventure only minutes from the doorstep. Whether you want to just relax by the fireplace, go hiking, go tubing, go fishing, ride the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad, or take in a scenic sunset, this is the perfect launching point.

What makes this property unique

Tucked away for privacy but no steep or long driveway, cell reception, and internet availability are rare to find in Western North Carolina. We have it all in this gorgeous and relaxing retreat. Sit on the deck and wave to those riding the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad, listen to the birds sing, and then get out and see the sights!
