About this property

Mountain getaway, close to Bryson City

Our home is located in the Tobacco Branch neighborhood close to Bryson City, Nantahala, Tsali, and the Appalachian Trail. The neighborhood has a private spring fed pond with fishing/swimming dock within walking distance of the home. The driveway is steep from the road up to the house and there is limited room at the top for parking. Small trailers driven by experienced drivers can and have been used but there is no easy turn around at the top for trailers. Our motorcycle guests have ridden up the driveway but caution is advised.

Polar Express trip

Our first experience with VRBO did not disappoint. This location was perfect for a trip to Bryson City to catch the Polar Express train ride. Our host, Brandy, was very quick to respond to emails and keep us updated on the property. We were only there for an overnight stay, and it was just right for our family of six (4 adults and 2 small children). Wish we could have stayed longer, and the weather had been better as the surrounding area would have been great to go exploring. Do be prepared for a steep driveway but we didn't have any trouble, even with rainy conditions.
