Short walk to town and the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad

This 1940s duplex is quaint and refreshing and recently remodeled. Step back in time and enjoy the charm of this 2br 1ba with only a short 5-10 minute walk to the train depot, shopping, and many restaurants. Enjoy the history of BC Overlook as it was once owned by the infamous Dr. Bacon who practiced medicine in this small town for years. Watch the Steam Engine leave the Depot, or take a short 5 min drive to the GSMNP @ Deep Creek. Stay Active, or Just Relax. Either way you are Welcome Here!

Retro appliances in the newly remodeled *efficiency kitchen (Microwave, Toaster, AirFryer, Crockpot, Full Size Refrigerator). Guests will enjoy 2 bedrooms, both with queen size beds, 1 bathroom with the original 1940's tub/shower, and a spacious living area with a smart T.V. and local literature. Private entrance with spacious parking. Our families have lived in this area for generations, and we are excited to share some of its' charm with you.

Great Place For Visit To Bryson City

We wanted to visit North Carolina and the Smoky Mountains for the fall color and we weren't disappointed. We enjoyed being able to see the downtown area of Bryson City and the train station from our VRBO property. It was a great location for all our day trips during our stay. I would definitely stay there again!

Great for town access

Our family wanted to explore Bryson City and hike in the Great Smoky Mountains. This property was a close drive to the hikes we wanted to do and we were able to walk to dinner in Bryson City after we returned for the day. The views in the evening were also spectacular!

Train ride

We were unable to watch game 4,5 of World Series because of tv and remote but we were very close to the train. That was the reason for going to Bryson also there was no grill to cook on or a stove major inconveniences although the bedding was very comfortable

Great time in the mountains!

We enjoyed our stay at BC overlook. I was very pleased with how clean it was and the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed Great Smokey Mountains National Park and rose GSMR’s Polar Express and had a blast! I would love to come back possibly for an anniversary weekend without the kids so my husband and I could explore more.

Will stay here again!!

Location is perfect! Not stuck in the middle of the touristy portion of town, but within walking distance of everything in Bryson City (just as advertised). The view overlooking the town is breathtaking. The entire property was decorated with such detail, and yet check in/check out was a very simple process. When we visit Bryson City again, we hope to stay here again!!
