About this property

Troutin' About - A cozy cabin on the river!

TROUTIN' ABOUT is a cozy cabin on the Tuckasegee River just one mile from downtown Bryson City. Enjoy gorgeous early morning views from the deck then cast your fishing line without leaving the porch! Bring your kayaks or tubes for a peaceful float down the Tuck or try your hand at fly fishing in this trout-stocked stream. Don't forget to wave to the Smoky Mountain Railroad train as it passes by across the river. Inside the cabin, you will appreciate the high-speed internet with unlimited wi-fi and enjoy the 50 inch Roku TV and cozy (romantic?) glow from the electric fireplace. In the bedroom, you will be comfortable in the queen size bed with plenty of pillows available and another Roku TV. We will provide you with starter toiletries, paper products, and coffee, but for longer stays, you may need to restock. The kitchen is equipped with pots, pans, dishes, coffee maker, toaster, stove/oven, microwave, and full-size fridge so you can eat in (a grocery store is less than a mile away). But, if you choose to go out, downtown Bryson City is five minutes away. Picture Gatlinburg meets Mayberry! A quaint, picturesque town with a stunning mountain backdrop. Stroll the main street to enjoy shops of all kinds, restaurants, soda and ice cream fountains, and of course, the taprooms and breweries featuring locally brewed libations. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy hiking and waterfalls in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, tubing in Deep Creek, world-class whitewater rafting on the Nantahala, and beautiful Fontana Lake all within 20 minutes of the cabin. Feeling lucky? Head over to the casino in Cherokee. Motorcycles? You're not far from the Tail of the Dragon. Maybe the best thing of all ........ absolutely no steep, winding, scary mountain roads to get here!!! FYI ..... Troutin' About is a park model home located in Bearhunter Campground, so you will not be secluded from other people. There are several other similar cabins and RVs on site. You are welcome to take advantage of the picnic tables, rocking chairs, and grills in the common area, as well as nearby river access.

50th Wedding Anniversary
We had a lovely time on the Tuckasegee River, enjoyed watching the Canadian geese, mallard ducks, also watching the Tuckasegee River Excursion Train go by across the river. Our stay was outstanding, our host went the extra mile by delivering us a bouquet of flowers. They truly made our day extra special. We plan to return again.

Perfect Getaway
The communication between us and the host was top notch. Had an issue after checking in and the host was on top of it. The cabin was clean. Neighbors are close but everyone kept to themselves and it was quiet. Sitting on the back porch is very relaxing and the view is breathtaking.

Great stay!
We stayed over new year’s with our 5 year old and had a wonderful time. The cabin had everything we needed and was cozy and warm. It was fun seeing trains go by at night and reflect on the river. Super close to the downtown area and the polar express. We will definitely return!

About the host

Hosted by Sabrina

Host profile image
We discovered the Western North Carolina mountains a few years ago and immediately fell in love! This area has become our home away from home, and eventually will become our forever home! We purchased and established Troutin' About not only for us, but to allow others to experience the NC Smoky Mountains, relax, and get away from the rat race for a while. We hope that you have an amazing experience here and come back often!

Why they chose this property

Bryson City is such a laid back, peaceful, quaint little town, it truly will make you think "Gatlinburg meets Mayberry!" Troutin' About is a mile from downtown where you can enjoy strolling the main streets discovering the unique attractions here. And, of course, unlimited outdoor activities are within minutes including hiking, waterfalls, white-water rafting, mountain biking, tubing, kayaking, boating.......

What makes this property unique

You will love the sounds of the Tuckasegee River just outside your door! Drink your coffee and read a book on the deck while watching the geese or enjoying the sunrise over the mountains. Troutin' About is cozy little cabin that will remind you you're in the mountains but with all the amenities of home, including high speed internet and good cell phone service. We are just off a main road, so access is fully paved, flat, and super easy (your GPS will even bring you right to the door!)
