About this property

Cozy Elegant Roundhouse Nestled in Woods, 5min from Downtown, with Hot Tub!

The Bryson City Roundhouse is an upscale wooded retreat tucked in the heart of the Smokies. Convenience meets seclusion as the 5-minute drive to all attractions found in charming downtown Bryson City (train depot, shops & restaurants, museums & aquarium) is obscured by peaceful, forested surroundings. The unique design of this newly renovated cabin creates an open living space with stunning high radial ceilings, coupled with two elegant private bedrooms. Relax in the hot tub or tell stories at the fire pit as you unwind in nature, the Smoky Mountain way. Key amenities include a brand new hot tub, fire pit with adirondack chairs, charcoal grill, washer and dryer, Starlink WiFi + dedicated workspace, coffeemaker with complimentary coffee & tea, and board games / books / puzzles / outdoor games. This property has plenty of free onsite parking, and is conveniently located 10 minutes from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (both lakeview drive and deep creek entrances), 10 minutes from Fontana Lake, and 5 minutes from the train depot.

This was absolutely the cutest and most well done little bungalow. It was nestled in the woods but conveniently located.We will use this place again. It is in our top 3 favorites! The Host was very quick to answer questions and was very helpful.

Great getaway

Wonderful house in wooded private setting. Little bit of rain did not deter enjoying the hot tub. Furnishings were comfortable and elegant. Communication with Brandon and Sarah was great. Loved our stay.-the Morgan’s

Brandon and Sarah are absolutely the most excellent hosts I’ve come across and I’ve stayed at many vacation rentals. Property was immaculately clean and communication was on point. My mom and I also chose this location due to the location next to Great Smoky Mountain National Park and it did not disappoint. It feels remote and cozy, surrounded by forest, but it’s only a short two mile drive into Bryson City for groceries and restaurants. GSMNP is only a 30 minute drive and the town of Cherokee is not to be missed either that sits just south of the park entrance. All utensils, dishes, pots and pans are provided. Overall excellent stay and we will stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Brandon & Sarah

Host profile image
We are local to the area and live on a floating cabin on Lake Fontana! This is our “winter home” when the weather isn’t as pleasant on the lake, and we love to share it with others during the rest of the year. :)

Why they chose this property

This is a quiet, peaceful, and safe neighborhood that feels very secluded with the heavy tree cover and gravel roads, while still being just a 5 or 10 minute drive from anything you need in town. It’s the best of both worlds!

What makes this property unique

First and foremost, the shape of course! This is a Deltec home, meaning it was constructed with eco-friendly materials and displays their signature “round” (technically octagonal) shape. Deltec is a local company based right down the road from us in Asheville, but their homes are located in over 30 countries and have a 99.9% survival rate during hurricanes and fires. This is a safe, unique, and newly renovated home surrounded by our acre of forested land in the Smoky Mountains.
