It is less than 2 miles to downtown Bryson City and the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad. We are centrally located. For rafting and kayaking, the Nantahala Outdoor center is only 23 minutes away. It's only 20 minutes to Cherokee and the Blue Ridge Parkway and only an hour to Asheville.

Best Vrbo we'we found

This house is very clean and modern. The view from the front porch is awesome. It's close to everything in the area. The property manager is great. It took us a bit to realize we could park close enough to the back porch for the wheelchair ramp from my van to reach the back porch but after that I had no problem coming and going.

Home away from home with a view

I loved our stay and enjoyed the view. The house was clean and cozy and just a minute or two from downtown Bryson City. We also enjoyed our hike at the Nat’l Park. Definitely a 5 🌟 place to stay

Great place to stay!

Such a nice quiet place to get away. Close to the Smokey Mountains for hiking. The deck is the perfect place to start and end the day soaking up the views. Comfortable beds and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook all of our meals.

Great Experience

Enjoyed the location and especially the view sitting on the deck. The host has thought about everything you would need. The kitchen has everything you need and there are plenty of games and puzzles. There is a charcoal grill. It would have been great to have had a gas grill.

Great Get-away

Went to the mountains to escape the Florida heat, and we weren’t disappointed. The Blue Mountain Cottage was perfect for us! Fully furnished with everything we needed. We loved sitting on the back porch each evening watching the full panoramic sunset, sipping wine and then enjoying the fire pit. You can hear the soothing sound of the water from Deep Creek. Highly recommend this cottage to anyone wanting a real retreat.

Spacious home next door to Deep Creek trails

If you visit in Oct, you will be fighting massive crowds in this popular national park. Thankfully, this lodging is literally next door to Deep Creek, so we could be one of the first ones at that trail. The home is spacious and comfortable, with a beautiful view. Especially loved the Stressless recliner for reading at night.

2nd Stay and Awesome Again!!!

We love this cabin! We have been visiting Bryson City for years and stayed at many cabins, Blue Mountain is our favorite!! The location, porch view, flowers, accommodations, and amenities can’t be beat! Excellent communication, easy in/out, very clean, super comfy beds/pillows, and we LOVE being able to walk to Deep Creek and use the provided tubes for tubing!!! Bob and Heidi have thought of everything (including binoculars for bird watching from the porch). Don’t change a thing, we hope to return again soon. Thank you for sharing your stay!

Fabulous location

This is the second time we have stayed here and thoroughly enjoy the space and location. Communication with the owner is top notch. We hike when we come here, the amount of trails is endless. Many other towns are nearby for your traveling and dining pleasure. Everything you need is within a few minutes drive. The view from the porch looks fake to me as it is very beautiful and too perfect. The owners are continuously putting thought into making the place more comfortable, couldn't ask for more.

Thanksgiving week

Me, my hisband and 12 year old son stayed at this beautiful cottage for the week. The cottage was bigger inside than we thought it would be. The home has been completely remodeled and is beautifully done. The views were gorgeous. Couldnt wait to wake up to look at the view. Me and my son walked thr short walk to Deep Creek and went hiking. Would love to stay in the summer to enjoy the water since there is an area with steps to enter the river just a block or 2 away from the cottage. Cant wait for our next trip

About the host

Hosted by Bob Wilkins

Host profile image
We live in central Florida, but love to escape the heat. My wife and I finally retired in 2024 so we are using the cottage more frequently, but when we are not, we welcome you to enjoy our slice of paradise!

Why they chose this property

Location is hard to beat. Our property adjoins the Great Smoky Mountains National park and you literally are a very short walking distance to the Deep Creek recreation area. Easy access - no brutal steep mountain driveways to traverse. And downtown Bryson City is less than 2 miles away.

What makes this property unique

Mixture of modern and rustic, but very comfortable with nice views from our front deck. Lots of birds, and usually wild turkeys, rabbits, groundhogs, and deer can be seen. Occasional bear sighted.
