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!

The space
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 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!

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!!

Charming!
I stayed four nights and it was a wonderful experience. The duplex was comfortable, clean, and quiet. The view from the deck is beautiful. All communication with the property owner was helpful, and I appreciated their quick replies to any questions I had. I would definitely stay there again.

Cozy Stay with a View
Wonderful place! It was clean, cozy, nicely decorated with comfortable beds and pillows! The living area had plenty of space for our family of 4 and was comfortable to relax in at the end of the day. Little thoughtful touches within the home. Awesome view of downtown Bryson City. Location was perfect, 2-3min drive from main downtown street. Only used the microwave and toaster for whatever food we ate in and that worked perfectly fine. Definitely recommend this place!

Perfect for our Polar Express ride
Everything was great at BC Overlook. We could watch the train coming and going which was a big treat for our granddaughter. The beds were comfy, too! Great location and just right for our party of three. A little too far for us to walk to downtown, especially in the dark and coming home, as it is all uphill. Lots of parking downtown so we were good.

Cozy & Close to Everything
Convenient to everything in Bryson City, 2 minute drive to anything in town. If you don't mind an uphill walk on your return, reasonably fit people could likely walk to town (with 2 young kids and the winter cold, we didn't try it!). The view of the town below was beautiful. Traveling at Christmas time, we were able to see the lights of the town and hear Christmas Music from the Polar Express from the deck, which was lovely. The size was adequate for our family of 4. If you are planning to make meals, be aware that (at the time of our stay) there was a microwave, air fryer, crock pot, and coffee pot. There is no oven, stove top, or griddle. You do have some cooking options, and there are also lots of restaurants very close by. This is 1 house that has been sub-divided into 2 living units. While you have 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, and a livingroom area all to yourself & not connected to the other unit, the other half of the house may be occupied (not sure if it's the property owner or another rental unit). There is one big wrap-around deck, although there is a gate which can be closed to separate deck spaces. The other unit was occupied during our stay, but we had no issues. Overall, a very nice holiday visit.
