Beautiful home with anything you would need. Great location. Easy to walk to town. Enjoyed the game room and sadly was too hot for fire pit but wood and lighter etc provided with plenty of chairs around pit.
Adult sibling reunion - great house for our needs. Appreciated the king rooms with en-suite bathrooms, large gathering spaces with beautiful views, plenty of safe parking, good location, ping pong table, coffee supplies, well stocked kitchen…Timely response to messages. Thank you!
Beautiful house but not really walking distance to town. Very narrow road to house. The church seniors enjoyed their stay. The listing appeared to have an extra bedroom but it was including the cabin. Too many spiders and bugs but overall, it was good.
This is by far the best home on VRBO. We were so completely satisfied with our stay. The home is stunningly beautiful, and has every thing you could need. I can’t thank these owners enough for sharing this stunning home! The host have great communication. Our only disappoint was that we had to leave!
This is a great home with such easy access to town as well. The views are amazing , house is so clean , spacious and such a gracious host. Our family had a wonderful nice time together and it is our favorite from the many homes we have stayed in. Jamie & Ron
Great place to stay for the Polar Express. Close to town, great views, plenty of space to relax around the property. Host was great and easy to work with.
Absolutely loved this home! Five minute walk to downtown Bryson City. House was extremely well equipped. The owners thought of everything. We had a large group and having the extra space with the cabin was fantastic. The owners were extremely responsive to any questions I had. The kitchen was coffee ready , which was a very nice touch for our crew! 1000% recommend! Will definitely stay there again!
Wonderful stay in this beautiful home. As an older group, we suggest that safety bars be placed in showers. Other than that, this a delightful home for a large gathering, and I highly recommend this home.
Absolutely beautiful home! This is one place where the pictures can't do the property justice. The view of the town with the mountains nearby is wonderful and we loved the walkability. The house is adequately stocked with towels, linens, coffee, lots of little creature comforts that make you feel at home and there was plenty of space for our family! Very kid friendly! We'd absolutely stay here again.
We really enjoyed our stay. The home was beautiful, spacious, and perfect for our vacation. Everything was clean, well-kept, and exactly as described. The host was extremely kind and responsive, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. We would absolutely stay here again!
This house and property is excellent. The location was perfect for our stay and the house was very clean and exceptional. The check in was seamless and the kitchen was very well appointed with everything a family would need for their stay.
This property is absolutely gorgeous. No camera tricks in the photos. No exaggeration in the description. I was there for nearly a week with a group of friends. We cooked, we grilled, we sat around the fire pit, and played games on a rainy day. The walkway to downtown is convenient due to the limited parking on the strip. Plenty to do down there to fill a day or two. The home was meticulously clean and had every thing we needed.
Our stay was amazing! Our visit was over Thanksgiving and cooked for 10 people. Access to 3 kitchens made preparations a breeze. Walking distance to town and the Polar Express was so convenient. We were all struck by the comfort of the home and the breathtaking views! Our family made some amazing memories here and would love to visit again!
They thought of everything! Fantastic layout and decorated so beautifully, these owners are the best. The beds and bedding were so comfortable and they had all the best things there too! The kitchens had everything you could possible need or want. Tons of games. This is the way to do a house. Thank you!

About the host
Hosted by Ellis/Sweatman Family
We are Jason, John & Erin - cousins and life long travelers. We have always dreamed of owning a home our entire family can enjoy and we found it! We are honored to be able to share this experience with you.
Why they chose this property
What a great location overlooking the best little town in Wester North Carolina - the home was built by an impactful and respected member of Bryson City, Dr Harold Bacon. Perched above Everett Street you can see the 'Hallmark' town and are within walking distance of the best shops, diners and coffee bars you can imagine!! Not to mention the Smoky Mountains and all the adventure it has to offer, at your doorstep.
What makes this property unique
Location, Location, Location. You are in the mountains surrounded by 25+ species of the most beautiful flora onsite (big and small) AND you have the convenience of a walkable town less than 3 minutes away. Historical home and cabin, reimagined and refined to be a one of a kind experience. Get in your car and experience plenty of easy-to-hard hiking trails, too many to count waterfalls, rafting trips, mountain biking, and all around nature immersion just a few beautiful miles down the road. And don't forget to book your trip on the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad.
