Log Cabin Lodging near Bryson City and Cherokee, in the Heart of the Smokies
Bryson City is a small mountain town with friendly folks, gift shops, arts and crafts galleries, antique stores, and a surprising variety of restaurants.
Our historic train depot is the home of the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad with plenty of excursions, including a combination train ride / river raft trip that's loads of fun. Throughout the summer and fall there's music every Saturday night at the depot.
If you are visiting the Smokies to look at property with thoughts of building a mountain cabin to call your own, you'll find a helpful Chamber of Commerce, well-informed realtors, and home furnishing and decor stores - the complete package for your own retirement or second home dream.
Two National Parks
