Perfect location for our girls weekend to Bryson City and Andrews. Short walk to downtown for shopping, eating, and the train. Quiet little collection of cabins. Easy check in and check out. Easy to communicate with property management to make them aware of some small issues with the property.

Sitting on the Rock

We came to Bryson City to celebrate my Mother-In-Law’s 90th birthday, with a train ride to the Nantahala Outdoor Center. Sitting on the Rock was the perfect home for our nephew, niece & her husband to stay at during our family gathering on the Great Smokey Mountain Railway. The home was very neat, clean, decor was perfect & just a short walk from the train depot. They absolutely loved the home, with all its unique history. We were able to stop by to check it out & found that it fit them perfectly. The Birthday gathering on the train was a hit with everyone. Thank you, we appreciate everything!
