Such a fun and unique stay! The cabin was cozy, and the kids loved the train caboose. It’s close to town and an easy walk to shops and restaurants. We especially enjoyed gathering around the fire pit with family on our last night in Bryson City -- perfect way to end the trip.

What an awesome place to find for our family reunion. My son was in the caboose and he said sleeping in there was great!! The cottage was very nice and cozy. Walkable to downtown Bryson City and close to my mother-in-laws home. Will definitely stay there again when we visit.

Such a fun way to spend a few days! We had our 4 teenage cousins in the caboose while my sister and I stayed in the main house. Nice to be able to walk into Bryson City to eat or shop. Easy to get to Deep Creek, too.

We had a wonderful stay this past weekend in Bryson City! The cabin was cozy and well-appointed, and we loved the unique addition of the caboose bunkhouse—it was such a fun touch. The location couldn’t have been better—an easy walk to downtown, with shops, restaurants, and everything we needed close by. The property had all the essentials for a comfortable and relaxing weekend. We’d definitely stay again and recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable spot in Bryson City!

This little gem is just as you see it. Picture perfect! Lots of space and well stocked. There are even little extras provided. Brenda was most helpful and accommodating. She went above and beyond to make her place a great fit for us. We will be staying here in the future. Well done!

Brenda’s place was perfect for our family. The caboose was an added bonus as we brought our grandson to the polar express for the first time. The location was wonderful- we walked to town which was so convenient. Bryson City looks like a little Hallmark movie set. The rental was clean and even had some snacks and water. So helpful. This was an amazing trip with memories made with our little family. Highly recommend!

Wonderful place for my family to stay in Bryson City to kick off the holidays. Right down the street from shops, restaurants, Polar Express. Comfy place, just as described. We'll return!

We LOVED staying at Brenda’s place. It was so perfect for our stay with the grandkids. We arrived a day early and got to visit the little Christmas town before our train ride. We had tickets to the polar express train and the kids were so excited about the whole journey. We got to visit the little Christmas town during the day. We shopped, ate, and made great memories . We walked to station ( 8 min.) walk with the grands 😘 We were able to walk back for them to nap after lunch before our train ride at 6:40 that evening. They LOVED the caboose and the house. It was all decorated for Christmas in addition they had a fire place, kids towns for inside and outside and a ton of space. We made such great memories there with them and are looking forward to our next trip back to Bryson City. We only hope and pray that this sweet place is available for our next trip. Brenda was very punctual with her responses to us and offered a ton of advise for places to eat and things to do.
