Tucked into the forested Nantahala Gorge just 10 minutes from the mountain town of Bryson City, Hideaway Point is a private multi-home Smoky Mountain retreat designed for weddings, reunions, retreats, and meaningful group gatherings in Western North Carolina.
This listing is for the full Hideaway Point property, which combines all three homes on the estate:
• The Hideout
• The Hostel
• The Holiday House
Together, the property sleeps up to 30 guests across 13 bedrooms, offering a rare combination of shared gathering space and private accommodations for large groups.
Hideaway Point was created as a place where people can slow down, reconnect, and experience meaningful time together in the mountains. Whether you are planning a family reunion, wedding weekend, church retreat, leadership gathering, or outdoor adventure trip, the property is designed to give groups space to rest, celebrate, and connect in nature.
The layout works especially well for:
• Smoky Mountain weddings and elopements
• Family reunions and multi-generational gatherings
• Corporate retreats and leadership offsites
• Church groups and ministry retreats
• Outdoor adventure groups exploring the Nantahala Gorge
Guests enjoy access to the entire property, including:
• 3 hot tubs
• Cedar sauna with forest views
• Fire pit areas
• Covered outdoor gathering spaces
• Multiple kitchens and dining areas
• Forest trails and mountain scenery throughout the property
Each home offers its own personality and layout while still being thoughtfully connected to the overall Hideaway Point experience.
Bryson City is known for whitewater rafting and kayaking on the Nantahala River, hiking in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, mountain biking, scenic train rides on the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, Fontana Lake, waterfalls, fly fishing, and local restaurants and breweries.
Just minutes from the property, guests can enjoy rafting, zipline canopy tours, fishing, hiking trails, and access to the Appalachian Trail and Nantahala National Forest.
