TROUTIN' ABOUT is a cozy cabin on the Tuckasegee River just one mile from downtown Bryson City. Enjoy gorgeous early morning views from the deck then cast your fishing line without leaving the porch! Bring your kayaks or tubes for a peaceful float down the Tuck or try your hand at fly fishing in this trout-stocked stream. Don't forget to wave to the Smoky Mountain Railroad train as it passes by across the river. Inside the cabin, you will appreciate the high-speed internet with unlimited wi-fi and enjoy the 50 inch Roku TV and cozy (romantic?) glow from the electric fireplace. In the bedroom, you will be comfortable in the queen size bed with plenty of pillows available and another Roku TV. We will provide you with starter toiletries, paper products, and coffee, but for longer stays, you may need to restock. The kitchen is equipped with pots, pans, dishes, coffee maker, toaster, stove/oven, microwave, and full-size fridge so you can eat in (a grocery store is less than a mile away). But, if you choose to go out, downtown Bryson City is five minutes away. Picture Gatlinburg meets Mayberry! A quaint, picturesque town with a stunning mountain backdrop. Stroll the main street to enjoy shops of all kinds, restaurants, soda and ice cream fountains, and of course, the taprooms and breweries featuring locally brewed libations. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy hiking and waterfalls in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, tubing in Deep Creek, world-class whitewater rafting on the Nantahala, and beautiful Fontana Lake all within 20 minutes of the cabin. Feeling lucky? Head over to the casino in Cherokee. Motorcycles? You're not far from the Tail of the Dragon. Maybe the best thing of all ........ absolutely no steep, winding, scary mountain roads to get here!!! FYI ..... Troutin' About is a park model home located in Bearhunter Campground, so you will not be secluded from other people. There are several other similar cabins and RVs on site. You are welcome to take advantage of the picnic tables, rocking chairs, and grills in the common area, as well as nearby river access.

A perfect tiny log home very comfortably appointed. The back deck overlooking the Tuskaseegee River was a fantastic place to enjoy nature at its best. Fishing from the deck gave my husband a big smile. We would come back to this cabin if we are in the Bryson City area in the future.
Such a lovely little cabin and in a great location! We enjoyed our weekend getaway. Watching the geese and ducks do their morning routines each morning while enjoying our breakfast out on the deck was especially fun.
LOVE this property. Quiet, peaceful, right on the river so fishing was super fun! Everything else seemed to be within 15 min, hikes, Fontana lake, Cherokee, Sylva. Great location, super cleans. Hosts were super thoughtful. Will stay again!
This was such a peaceful and wonderful place to stay. The owners were very responsive and so kind regarding our stay.
We will definitely stay here again! Everything you need!!

The place is nice. The water rushing by and the rain on the tin roof was too much to resist. I was there to relax and relax I did. Has all the comforts of home.
Nice/clean
Closer to other cabins than I thought.
Great little spot to stay .

About the host
Hosted by Sabrina
We discovered the Western North Carolina mountains a few years ago and immediately fell in love! This area has become our home away from home, and eventually will become our forever home! We purchased and established Troutin' About not only for us, but to allow others to experience the NC Smoky Mountains, relax, and get away from the rat race for a while. We hope that you have an amazing experience here and come back often!
