Rockhouse is in the perfect location! A short walk to downtown Bryson City and the train depot. This home is so cozy and is perfect for families. The kitchen is fully stocked, the toys and games were perfect for the kids, and the back porch area was great for entertaining. Would highly recommend and we'll definitely be back.

We had an amazing stay during the week of Christmas. The host was wonderful and the house was immaculate and clean. It accommodated our group of 11 nicely and made for the perfect little Christmas house. Within walking distance of all the shops and the train. We plan on making this a tradition and we will choose this house every time!

We loved our stay at the Rockhouse! The house was so charming and full of character. It was very spacious for our family and the perfect location as we were able to walk to the Polar Express. David was a great host and was very responsive in answering the couple of questions I had. I highly recommend the Rockhouse and look forward to staying there again.

The house was cute, cozy and in a prime location. Upon arrival, we first noticed the Christmas decorations…a tree and warm blankets! Very nice touch! We stayed two nights for a Polar Express weekend, and had a great time. The beds were super comfortable, there were plenty of games/puzzles for the kids, check in and check out were simple and instructions were delivered in plenty of time to ask questions, if necessary. I highly recommend Rockhouse…it is the perfect size for a family!

Location! Location! Location! The RockHouse is a short , easy walking distance to downtown Bryson City(Polar Express). Our first family Christmas vacation was a big success and a significant part of that result was the RockHouse. Walking into the house, we were immediately comforted with the soft glow of the lights on the decorated Christmas tree. It felt homey right off the rip! The house has all the space, comfort and supplies needed for your stay. The extras:books, games, cozy blankets, sound machines in every room and baby items were used, appreciated and enjoyed. Our family of 11 including 4 small kids (aka Team Chaos) had a great week in Bryson. We thoroughly enjoyed the Polar Express, Darnell Farms, The Bakery, The Honey Bear, the Bryson City Museum, lots of shops along the main streets and the Nantahala River Gem mine. We would highly recommend staying at the RockHouse for your stay in Bryson!

Great cottage home in walking distance to downtown

We loved our stay in Bryson. We enjoyed waking up and taking a short stroll downtown for coffee/food. The home is nicely furnished and fully stocked. We had a little trouble using the keypad to get in but the property manager is quick to respond to help with any issues.

Perfect home in Bryson City!

We were pleasantly surprised by this amazing house. It was stocked with everything we needed and even had a Christmas Tree for our December stay. The beds were comfortable and rooms were large. The kitchen was well stocked and the entire house was very clean. The house is a short walk to everything in downtown Bryson City. We didn’t even have to turn on our car the entire trip! If you are visiting the area, I highly recommend this house.

Your home was perfect! The grandkids loved spending time together. The home was a perfect size. We sat and watched Christmas movies, walked down town and toad the Polar Express. The kids loved the little game room. The location was great, we never got back in the car until time to go home. Thanks for allowing us to stay. We will come back.
