Time Flies is so close to town but feels remote! Experience the best of both worlds here. This "Mountain Modern" house is tucked away on the banks of the Tuckasegee River with a dirt road and the Smoky Mountain Railroad fronting the property. Guests enjoy watching the tourist train pass by, especially in November and December when it's decorated for the Polar Express! Old River road is also a great resource offering prime river access or take a leisure walk down the long dirt road. The house is also only about a mile away from Deep Creek, which is park of The Smoky Mountains National Park.

Getting around: Driving is our recommendation. Biking and walking to town are options. Be aware that there are not sidewalks between the house and town. However, people do walk this section along the side of the road. Traffic can be heavy along this stretch of road and the side of the road isn't well maintained.

1. There is gravel parking for two Standard sized car. One beside of the house and one in front of the house. No trailers allowed.
2. We do allow dogs for a fee. 2 dogs up to 50lbs each maximum. Please read and adhere to our pet rules while staying in our house. Once you add your dog(s) to the guest count, the pet fee will be displayed in the summary of charges. We have strick pet rules: No dogs on the furniture/bed(s) for any reason. No dogs running loose on our property. Pickup dog waste. Hair found on furniture or in linens will incur an addition charge beyond the pet fee.
3. The house has a full kitchen and almost everything you would need to prepare any meal. However, the kitchen is not stocked with condiments or supplies with the exception of a few spices and salt and pepper.
4. The sofa converts into a sleeper. It works well for 2 children or 1 adult.
5. There are two other vacation rental dwellings on this property. Each house has its own private outdoor space.
6. The Great Smoky Mountains railway runs in front of the property. This is a scenic tourist train that runs during the day/evening/early night and is a big reason why people visit Bryson City. It does not run during the night when people generally are sleeping.

Fall getaway.

Great location, out of the way but close to town. Loved the view of the river and hills from the property. House was very clean and comfortable, a great place to stay. We would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to family and friends.

Weekend getaway/Polar Express

This is a lovely, clean, cozy little cabin. My husband and I rented it for the weekend. We met up with family to ride the Polar Express. it was very close to town and easy to get to. I would recommend this cabin and plan to return soon.

Great cabin for our Fall getaway

We loved this cabin, its amenities, and the view of the river! Everything was just as pictured or better. It was perfect for the two of us. We look forward to returning soon, perhaps in the Spring.

Adorable Town, Adorable House Nearby

The house was beautifully decorated and the perfect size for a family of three. We actually enjoyed the train going right by (many smiles and waves exchanged!); it did not run at night. Extra perk was the hot tub and ease of accessing a delightful town and restaurants. Would stay again!

Great location on the river!

This is a great place. We were happy to be here with our dog. So much to do around the area during the day and a very relaxing place at night. We have never been to this area but will definitely be back.

Wonderful House

The size of the home was perfect for the two of us. Great proximity to town and Deep Creek trails and waterfalls. Used the fit pit three nights. A bit too warm for the hot tub. Covered front porch really nice for evening cocktails.Wish the river view less obstructed. Suggest an upgrade to fire pit chairs.

By the River Bliss in the Smoky Mtns

Time Flies a quaint almost tiny house, we'd love to return to. Even as adults, when we hear the SMRR train horn blow into the evening air, one cannot help but smile with delight and try to catch a glimpse! Communication was prompt with our hosts and any questions or concerns were answered thoughtfully. Our space was clean and stocked with the necessary kitchen items. All in all a great value for proximity, yet rustic and rural atmosphere in Bryson City.

Perfect little mountain oasis

We just wanted to get away for an evening and this place was everything we wanted! House was immaculate and just as advertised. Beautiful views of the river/sunset. Crossing the rail road tracks was a fun way to get onto the site. The only slight complaint we had was the bed wasn’t the comfiest. Kept hitting our shins on the frame itself because it sticks out a bit. Otherwise, was fantastic. Will only be staying here when we come to Bryson City!

Music Getaway in Bryson City

We traveled to Bryson City for a Gospel Music event over the July 4 weekend. It was our first time here and we searched quite a bit to find a property we liked. This little house is a gem. The owners have really done a remarkable job utilizing a small space beside the river and railroad track. The property was as described in the listing. Everything was very clean and provided a comfortable stay. There was an electrical problem with the hot tub while we were there and the owners communicated well with us. One little quirk of this property is how you get to it. We got lost the first time. You've basically got to drive up a ditch bank and cross a railroad track without a crossing. It's o.k. after you get used to it, but is a little sketchy at first!

Nice getaway for two

Everything was as expected. Pictures were accurate and everything worked as it should. Communication with the property managers was easy. The only negatives at all were, there were some maintenance guys that came through the property in the middle of the day as we were relaxing and had their leaf blowers wide open blowing debris and dust all over the place. We had to go inside as they went thru every nook and cranny of the property. Really interrupted our peaceful afternoon and caused me to have to net the hot tub after they left, even though the top was well secured. I guess they have a set day they normally come do these things, but feel as soon as they saw the property was occupied, they could have skipped the visit until we were gone. Other than that, it was a perfect stay. We would definitely stay here again.

Memorial Day weekend

What a wonderful place to stay! It was possible the cleanest rental I’ve ever stayed. I’m going blind so my guide dog was with me and my husband. We also brought our other pup and this was just perfect with plenty of room. We really appreciated all the labels throughout the home. It was very easy checking in and checking out. If you get a chance to ride the train do so. The meals are wonderful, the people working with the train are some of the friendliest you’ll ever meet. The entire town is friendly. Did I mention the view from inside and outside of this rental? If I could see it image how beautiful it really it is! Anyone who is visually impaired I would recommend this rental. It was just perfect! We hope to return again!

We are a small group of business partners in the trade of construction, long term and vacation rentals. Everything we offer, we also designed, built and manage ourselves :)

This area drew us here as teenagers where we "lived the good life" as white water rafting guides, kayakers and avid mountain bikers. I guess you could say, we kinda FOUND ourselves here and never left. What a grand adventure we embarked on all those years ago... one that led to lifelong friendships! Our children were born here and are close friends as well. This area has been good to us and for us. We work hard but also make time to LIV! After all, what do we have besides this moment?
