5 Min to Polar Express - Luxury Mountain Cabin w/ Hot Tub, Game Room, Train Bunk

Celebrate the season at Enchanted Hollow, your cozy luxury mountain retreat just 5 minutes from the Polar Express and charming downtown Bryson City. Make Thanksgiving and Christmas magical with a fully stocked kitchen for holiday feasts, mountain-view mornings, twinkle-lit evenings by the cowboy cauldron firepit, and star-soaked hot tub nights.

Designed for families and festive gatherings, the cabin features king, queen, and flex bedrooms plus custom train bunk beds in the theater + arcade lounge. Kids will feel like they’re waking up inside the Polar Express, and grown-ups can enjoy movie nights, family game tournaments, and quiet coffee on the deck with sunrise over the mountains.

Spend the day riding the Polar Express, exploring Bryson City’s holiday lights, hiking scenic trails, or enjoying cozy cabin days filled with baking, laughter, and Christmas movies. Then return to The Enchanted Commons for arcade games, a poker table, and snuggly pajama evenings.

Absolutely perfect cabin with everything you could ever want for a great mountain vacation. Plenty for kids to do, easy drive up, close to Bryson City and Cherokee, and wonderful view of the mountains. Owners were very responsive and easy to deal with. Will definitely be back.
