Mini vacation

We had the best time here! The area is beautiful! The kids loved playing in the creek and floating down it. It’s just a very short drive to the most charming town. We hated to leave!

first time stay

This home was wonderful. The yard provided a great area for the grandchildren to play and the stream was wonderful for exploration. Plenty of sleeping areas and one of the best locations if you are planning on the train rides downtown Bryson City.

On Deep Creek in Bryson City

This is the 3rd time we have stayed at Mountain Memories. It is like visiting grandma’s house. The location is great - 5 minutes from Deep Creek entrance to the Smoky Mountains and 5 minutes to downtown Bryson City. Very quiet neighborhood and on Deep Creek. Well stocked kitchen and level paved road to house. We will be back.

Awesome House and Owners

This property is very clean, cozy, and quiet neighborhood. It’s fully furnished with everything you need to feel right at home. The kids had a blast playing in the creek and we all enjoyed the fire pit. The owners are very helpful and respond quickly. We look forward to our next trip and fingers crossed this property is available when that time comes.

Family Reunion

We come to Bryson City every year for our family reunion. This property was perfect for our group and then family was able to come and hang out by the campfire with us from their other cabins. It was fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans, and utensils. We will likely book again for next year because there was plenty of room for all of our kids and it was a safe place for them to play.

Great Family Vacation

From start to end, it was a great experience. Location was perfect to hit all the local attractions and still close enough to spend the day in Pigeon Forge one day. It was a fun vacation for the entire family.

Great location! Convenient, and cozy for the whole family! What kind of Bryson city for the Polar Xpress. This house is a perfect location for getting to and from town easily especially with children. It was a great layout for family to accommodate everybody. Definitely will stay again.

Great stay

We brought our grandkids to ride the Polar Express, we loved that the home was so close to town, literally 3-4 minutes. It was cozy and comfortable. Like many other reviewers stated, it reminded us of Grandma's house. We would stay here again!

Much Better than Portrayed

The photos do not do this very homey residence justice. We were SO comfortable here: the beds were comfy, the kitchen/dining area was easy to use (kitchen could use a bit better lighting). The living room was great, but we spent all our time in the dining room, on the beautiful Park trails, or in the charming town of Bryson City.. The home is very close to the Deep Creek trails of the Park. All in all, a very good experience, with a big plus based on their pet friendly attitude.

Love the proximity to Bryson City and Deep Creek area

This was our second stay here. We love the area. Very quiet neighborhood. Very close to Bryson City and the Deep Creek area within the Smokey Mountain national park. At Deep Creek you can go tubing when the water levels are high enough, and you can hike to 3 beautiful waterfalls. The house has lots of bedrooms and the kitchen has everything you need to cook. Owners are very responsive to questions via text. We will be back.

Birthday Celebration

We enjoyed our stay, but we were disappointed in the smell of smoke (or something) in the main living room. The dinginess of the towels and washcloths, tattered bed linens, we found socks in the sofa, water bottle on floor behind table in main living room and cigar under bed. Made us wonder if the home had been cleaned properly. We also did not feel we should have to haul the trash off.

About the host

Hosted by Jim and Shirley McGukin

North Carolina family that treasures the beauty of the Deep Creek area of the Great Smoky Mountain and the comfortable feeling that you find in the town of Bryson City.

Why they chose this property

Going to Deep Creek has always been a yearly vacation event for my family- since I was a child, then with my wife and then with our children after we became parents. This is a cherished piece of Americana which changes in a way-but never really changes. This area is a peaceful refuge from the everyday pressures of the modern lifestyle. Whether one walks the trails of the park, sits and listens to the symphony of the crystal clear waters of Deep Creek, or seeks to outsmart that trophy trout, Deep Creek has something for everyone of every age. Since the early 1960's, tubing down the creek is a unique local tradition that continues to grow each year. There just isn't anything like stepping out to the early morning fresh mountain air and listening to the babbling waters of Deep Creek. We hope you can experience our little peace of heaven.
