Blue Mountain Cottage near Deep Creek Campground

Welcome to Blue Mountain Cottage, a family owned and treasured retreat for 70 years. Our recently remodeled cottage (10/2019) has tongue and groove paneling inside, new flooring, and a large covered deck with vaulted ceiling, rocking chairs, ceiling fans and, of course, beautiful views! The parking area and the living areas and deck are all on one level -no steps to navigate. EVs welcome, too - level 2 charger available.

It's a short 6 minute walk to Deep Creek park and campground, part of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. The property borders the Park. There are convenient hiking trails, with 3 waterfalls along the way, fishing and tubing (4 tubes available for guests) in the Park. It is less than 2 miles to downtown Bryson City and the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad. We are centrally located. For rafting and kayaking, the Nantahala Outdoor center is only 23 minutes away. It's only 20 minutes to Cherokee and the Blue Ridge Parkway and only an hour to Asheville.

Great Experience

Enjoyed the location and especially the view sitting on the deck. The host has thought about everything you would need. The kitchen has everything you need and there are plenty of games and puzzles. There is a charcoal grill. It would have been great to have had a gas grill.

Amazing property and location!

We booked Blue Mountain Cottage for a wedding anniversary getaway. We wanted to be in a central location near several towns and this place did not disappoint. First, the property is exactly as advertised and shown. It was immaculate and the bed was super comfortable. One of our favorite times was spent in the rocking chairs relaxing and admiring that view. It is incredible to see the mountains change depending on weather and time of day. We went to Gatlinburg one day, explored the Smoky Mountain drives and had the joy of seeing elk in the wild. We were close enough for a trip to Asheville as well where we went to the North Carolina Arboretum which was so beautiful and diverse. We also visited Waynesville for the artists and craftspeople work. There is a train ride you can take on the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad too. One of our favorite days was minutes away from the cottage at Deep Creek where we hiked the waterfalls trail and saw the Tom’s River Waterfall. Do yourself a favor and take a drive on the Road To Nowhere which is also less than 10 miles from the cottage. There is a pullover view that is the best of all the sites we visited. This host has prepared a place that is stocked with necessities and he is super accessible with communications. Absolutely would choose this property again when visiting the area.

Thanksgiving week

Me, my hisband and 12 year old son stayed at this beautiful cottage for the week. The cottage was bigger inside than we thought it would be. The home has been completely remodeled and is beautifully done. The views were gorgeous. Couldnt wait to wake up to look at the view. Me and my son walked thr short walk to Deep Creek and went hiking. Would love to stay in the summer to enjoy the water since there is an area with steps to enter the river just a block or 2 away from the cottage. Cant wait for our next trip

About the host

Hosted by Bob Wilkins

We live in central Florida, but love to escape the heat. My wife and I still work, but retirement is on the horizon!

Why they chose this property

Location is hard to beat. Our property adjoins the Great Smoky Mountains National park and you literally are a very short walking distance to the Deep Creek recreation area. Easy access - no brutal steep mountain driveways to traverse. And downtown Bryson City is less than 2 miles away.

What makes this property unique

Mixture of modern and rustic, but very comfortable with nice views from our front deck. Lots of birds, and usually wild turkeys, rabbits, and deer can be seen.
