River's Edge is so close to town but feels remote! Experience the best of both worlds here. This "Mountain Modern" house is tucked away on the banks of the Tuckasegee River with a dirt road and the Smoky Mountain Railroad fronting the property. Guests enjoy watching the tourist train pass by, especially in November and December when it's decorated for the Polar Express! Old River road is also a great resource offering prime river access or take a leisure walk down the long dirt road. The house is also only about a mile away from Deep Creek, which is park of The Smoky Mountains National Park.

Getting Around: Driving is our recommendation. Biking and walking to town are options. Be aware that there are not sidewalks between the house and town. However, people do walk this section along the side of the road. Traffic can be heavy along this stretch of road and the side of the road isn't well maintained.

1. This property has gravel parking for one standard sized Vehicle. No Trailers allowed
2. We do allow dogs for a fee. 2 dogs up to 50lbs each maximum. Please read and adhere to our pet rules while staying in our house.

3. The house has a full kitchen and almost everything you would need to prepare any meal. However, the kitchen is not stocked with condiments or supplies with the exception of a few spices and salt and pepper.
4. The sleeper sofa lays down into a full sized bed. It's comfortable for 1 to 2 people and linens are provided.
5. There are two other vacation rental dwellings on this property. Each house has its own private outdoor space.
6. The Great Smoky Mountains railway runs in front of the property. This is a scenic tourist train that runs during the day/evening/early night and is a big reason why people visit Bryson City. It does not run during the night when people generally are sleeping.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Very well stocked and the exterior and interior design was very pleasant. I liked the location on the river, close to Bryson City but felt private and remote. Important areas (bath, kitchen, sheets) were clean but as I often find most of the light fixtures and bulbs needed dusted as well as under the bed. Only stayed one night but will probably plan another longer stay in the future.

Cool little spot on the river
We went just after Helene hit NC. I was nervous about Hurricane damage and accessibility. Hosts were very nice and communicative about conditions in Bryson. We made the trip and had a great time. Everything was as described. The driveway along the tracks startled my wife but no issues after we were used to it. House is charming and small but plenty of room for a couple or small family. Enough different spaces to allow for privacy. Efficient little kitchen. Other houses are close but not on top of you and landscaping allows for privacy.

Amazing Little Getaway
This was the perfect place to stay in Bryson City. We’ve stayed in several areas here. We will stay again but might try to get the one next door with hot tub. Impressed with interior and all it had. We walked down to river and relaxed in floats and enjoyed the train going by and just walking around. Thank you for providing a wonderful place for just the 2 of us. Ladies staying g next door really night We just felt bad for the family who suffered the loss from that awful fire on Thursday night. It was quite a site from our viewpoint.

It was a really unique place… Love being on the river and quirky with the railroad track right in front, but we didn’t hear any trains. Everything we needed and was clean and appeared newly renovated. Would highly recommend.

House was very clean and much roomier than anticipated. Be careful or you may miss the turnoff to the home as the road leading in is a little unorthodox.

WONDERFUL!
Our stay at River's Edge surpassed our expectations! The view of the river is spectacular, the location is very close to town and if your adventurous, you could probably walk to town. Property was clean and well maintained. The bed is VERY soft but that's just a personal preference. Communication with owner was quick and answered all my questions. All in all, a great place to stay in Bryson City and would stay again.

Awesome Location
We enjoyed our trip out to Bryson City. The cabin is so close to Bryson City you can hit it with a rock from the front porch. I made the mistake of not reading all the information ahead of time and came down the long way via Old River Road. If you are reading this do not attempt to drive down this "road." The other side next to the railroad was much easier. Everything was great!

Great Spot
We were there to fly fish. Our guide picked us up right in front of the cabin, and that’s where we ended our day in the river. Extremely convenient. In fact Bryson City is so compact that it’s convenient to anything in town. Great location, great spot to stay

Clean and cozy
My first impression was that the place felt very clean. I enjoyed coming back to rest here after a couple long days of hiking. I had everything i needed including a comfortable bed, full kitchen and wifi. I also really enjoyed the views of the river. Check-out instructions were clear and simple. I would definitely rent here again!

Easy location for the Smokey mountain railroad. Host was wonderful and helpful. Property is super clean. You will hear the train running right in front of the house, but a sound machine for our little one plus exhaustion from the polar express did the trick.

We enjoyed the space. Of course, we lived outside with the grill and fire and seeing the river. My only suggestion is to invest in a new firepit.
