This is our second time staying here, and we had a great time. We especially love the porches and the peaceful location. Chris made some small but noticeable improvements since our last visit that were appreciared. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again in the future.

Nicole thank you so much for your kind words. We are so glad that you chose to stay with us again. Thank you for being such a great guest.
Stayed for 2 nights for a trip to tail of the dragon. very conveniently located near a town with lots of restaurants. The property was well kept and very cozy. Very nice, highly recommend
It’s a nice location with a near by pond to either fish or swim. Bryson city is just a short drive from the cabin location. It’s a little longer drive to clings man dome but definitely worth the scenic view from Cherokee.
Property was accurately described and perfect for our needs. There are lots of activities in the area to keep the teenagers occupied. We hiked in the park, rode the trails at Tsali, visited Bryson City and NOC. We would book again.
My son and I had a wonderful stay at your cabin!
It was clean and stocked with everything we needed.
When we weren't hiking or rafting, we were relaxing on that wonderful screened in back porch.
We had no trouble at all locating the cabin and the check-in and check-out process was a breeze.
The accommodations were excellent; however, getting to the house was a chore. And the cottage is not by the lake, you have to walk to get to the lake. All in all, we had an excellent stay and would recommend this listing.
The cabin was very nice and comfortable. The Tobacco Branch grounds were beautiful and it's in close proximity to Tsali Recreation Area, Fontana Lake and Deep Creek area in Smoky Mountains. Thanks!!
This property had everything we wanted. Well supplied kitchen with pots/pans, utensils, salt, pepper, coffee, etc., Roku, etc. The cabin was not far from Fontana Dam. Also not too far from Bryson City and Cherokee. The owner was easy to get ahold. We really enjoyed our stay at this property.
Very clean, very comfortable everything is in working order. We came in on our motorcycles and the short distance you’re on Birch Trail is gravel and a little steep so a novice rider should be aware.

Thank you for staying with us Richard, we hope to see you again in the future.
We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The porches were awesome, the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals and the neighborhood wss peaceful. Chris is the best host!. He is a great communicator who responds to messages quickly and you can really tell that he cares about his guests. He did us a tremendous favor when we asked to extend our reservation last minute because a hurricane was approaching our home state. I would highly recommending booking this cabin!
If you’re looking for a place to stay and not a five-star resort in the middle of the local attractions this place is a safe bet, especially if you have family or friends with you. It’s clean, comfortable, well equipped and it’s a place you can call home.
The host did a great job letting me know all I needed to know without me even asking! Great rental property

About the host
Hosted by Chris Phillips
We’re two dads based in Denver but originally from Bryson City, raising three awesome kids and always on the lookout for our next family adventure. Hosting on VRBO lets us share a bit of the warmth, fun, and connection that we value in our own home.
We love creating cozy, welcoming spaces where guests can relax, recharge, and feel totally at ease—whether you're here for a quick weekend or an extended stay. As a family, we enjoy traveling, exploring new cultures, and meeting people from all walks of life. Hosting gives us a chance to bring that spirit home, one guest at a time.
We’re here if you need anything, but we’re also happy to give you your space. Either way, we’re glad you’re here and hope you feel right at home!
Why they chose this property
We chose Tobacco Branch because it strikes the perfect balance—it’s just a short drive to the charm and convenience of Bryson City, but tucked away enough to feel like a true mountain escape.
What we love most about this neighborhood is the peaceful, laid-back vibe. Surrounded by trees, mountain air, and the sounds of nature, it feels like a little pocket of calm. It’s also right in the middle of all the outdoor adventures we love—whether it’s hiking, kayaking, fishing, or just sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee and a good view.
It’s the kind of place where you can unplug, breathe a little deeper, and feel totally at ease—and that’s exactly why we chose it.
What makes this property unique
What makes our property unique is the feeling you get the moment you arrive—peaceful, cozy, and just a little magical. Nestled in the Tobacco Branch community, our home offers the perfect blend of comfort and nature. Whether you're sipping coffee on the deck, watching the kids play, or unwinding after a day of exploring, there's a sense of ease here that’s hard to put into words.
We’ve put thought into every detail to make it feel like a true home away from home—from the warm, inviting decor to the little extras that make your stay more comfortable. Plus, with easy access to outdoor adventures and the charm of Bryson City nearby, you get the best of both worlds: relaxation and exploration.
It’s not just a place to stay—it’s a place to slow down, connect, and make memories.
