Great host and super-unique experience (well worth it). Everything you need, with the exception of a kitchen (but plenty of eating options nearby). You will likely need to rely on the available bunks (sleeps 4), as the sofa bed needs a bit of updating to be comfortably relied upon. But otherwise, there is a lot of attention to detail that makes this a worthwhile temporary home with the Deep Creek portion of the Smokies at your fingertips.

Wonderful red caboose!! We brought a 5 and 7 year old with us for a train trip and the caboose stay was icing on the cake. Very comfortable beds. Very clean. Having the small fridge and microwave allowed us to bring our dinner, heat it up and eat at the picnic table. Lovely views and easy walk with the kids to town.

We had a fabulous long weekend with our two boys, ages 4 and 8. The caboose was like a dream destination for them! Brenda has made sure that the details are perfect -- from the Keurig coffee machine and phone/ipad, etc. charging station to the beautifully designed bathroom and plush towels. A generous basket of snacks awaited us as did boardgames and magnatiles for the kids to use. The caboose has a great deck and there's a large firepit on the property. The rental is also very conveniently located to shops and restaurants. Honestly, Brenda's thought of everything. She's also extremely responsive and helpful with restaurant recommendations. We'd highly recommend this rental.

My wife, my 2 year old and I loved this place. Incredible location, great stay. The whole experience was amazing. We loved it very much. Thanks again, will do this again in the near future, will be telling my friends and family to stay there if planning a trip to the Smoky Mountains

Great, unique place to stay. It was very clean and comfortable. Brenda was great!! Plenty of towels and blankets for everyone. Heat worked great. The only tiny issue we had was the hot water in shower was barely warm to us. Talked with Brenda she said check water heater we turned it up but I think it was just so cold outside it effected the temp of water. We had a great time though.

We were so fortunate to stumble upon Brenda's Bryson city caboose. Such a unique experience staying in a perfectly renovated train car with all the conveniences you'd expect from a small airb&b spot. It was perfect for our small family of 4. We were able to walk everywhere! Down to the shops and the popular restaurants and we even walked to the train depot to catch our ride on the GSMRailway. Thanks for a wonderful stay, Brenda! Your perfect little touches were very much appreciated and we plan to make your caboose a tradition!

A great place to stay in Bryson city, I really enjoyed the location and the view from the deck. It was also a very well done conversion of a really cool train car. My only critique would be there was no silverware which would have been nice to have. Will definitely stay again.

Staying here got us the 'Parents of the Year Award' from our kids. Perfect accommodations for a train-themed vacation with the Great Smokey Mountain Railroad and town shops a 5 minute walk away. The kids loved the bunk beds although I would not let my 2 year old sleep up there since there are not high guardrails. The toys the host had tucked away for us were a nice treat. We were too busy playing games as a family to miss the tv. The rain on the roof added to the appeal and helped us sleep like babies. It is a fantastic place to stay!

A perfect location close to the shops and restaurants in town - within walking distance. The room was comfortably furnished with everything needed for your stay. Great for couples!

Everything about this place is just incredible. Much more than we had expected. A gem in the city! Downtown location is within walking distance to everything in the city and yet very quiet. The mountains are just a short drive away. Janice was warm and friendly and seriously concerned about our comfort and accommodations. Cozy, quiet, and comfortable stay. I would definitely return without hesitation.

We absolutely loved our stay! The pictures do not do Janice's place justice! It is super quaint and perfect for our trip! Within walking distance to the lovely little town of Bryson City. Will definitely be back!

Janice's guest house was wonderful. Clean, cozy, and near everything. We only wish we could have spent more time there. Thank you, Janice!

Great place! Quiet & clean. The shower was almost too small but we made it work. Didn't stop us from enjoying our stay

Great little space, perfect for a night or two stay, in town or if you're looking for a place to stay near the mountains. Restaurants and shops were only a short walk away, hiking trails and waterfalls only a short drive away! Janice was a great host, gave us our privacy but was there if we needed her!

As described with a little extra .delightful experience

Janice's place was great! Clean, cozy, and perfectly near the best coffee shop & fly shop downtown. Felt safe and home staying here. Love what Janice has done with the space. Would stay again!

Catherine is a gracious host. She made me feel welcomed, offered me tips and activities to enjoy nearby and we had great conversation. I will most certainly come back and stay with Catherine again. Thanks for such a nice experience and memory Catherine! :)

Catherine's house is amazing, beautiful. Her house is also 2 minutes from town, but also secluded with beautiful mountain views. Catherine is a gracious host that accommodates and looks out for new up and coming events and places to visit. We had a fantastic time with Catherine and Jack(O'Lantern, the black cat) talking and enjoying the views from her dining room table. If you are looking for a place to stay in Bryson City, be sure to stay with Catherine and enjoy everything!!

Catherine made us feel welcome and comfortable during our stay. It was like staying with a friend. We also appreciated breakfast the morning after our check-in. The property is in a great location with a beautiful view but a private feel. It was close to town enough to walk (if you can handle hills), but it was nice and quiet. She also has a sweet cat.

Catherine is a wonderful host, her house is very cozy and comfortable. I truly enjoyed meeting her and visiting Bryson City. Thank you Catherine!

Catherine is a lovely host with a great home. The location is perfect if you're looking for peace, yet close enough to the town that you don't have to go a great distance for activity. Would definitely stay here again, as I had a great experience.

Catherine was a fantastic host and ready with things to do, etc. The room was clean and functional. She is a great host and it was a pleasure getting to know her over the weekend.

Catherine was a generous and gracious host. She had information about local activities printed out as well as snacks in the room when we arrived. She cooked breakfast for us in the morning; and we engaged in meaningful conversation in the mornings over breakfast, as well as the evening when we returned from our daily outing. Her house is in a quaint little mountain town within close driving distance to the Great Smoky Mountains.

Catherine is s(PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN) nice to us. She offered great breakfast and snacks. And talking with her is also informative and interesting. She is one of the reason we enjoyed our trip.

Great little place to stay in Bryson City! Very modern decor and house was constructed with many nice features. Floors are beautiful and kitchen is well appointed with high end appliances. Both beds were also comfortable and house had plenty of towels. House is located in a remote spot and although there are some trailers nearby, area was very safe and quiet. There are neighbors living in the unit above but it wasn't an issue and we barely heard them. Lots of nice restaurants and shops are conveniently located a few blocks away. Ingles grocery store was also about 2 miles away. We drove to Harrah's Casino in Cherokee and that was about a 15 minute trip. Overall, great stay and will definitely return again!

Travel is the most important is the feeling of home! The landlord did it! It's all so sweet and thoughtful! Specially to the landlord left a bottle of wine in the refrigerator to express our gratitude! Near the house there is a forest park, there are waterfalls, streams, can drift. Go to other scenic area is also very convenient! Bryson is a very beautiful is very friendly town! Night can also see fireflies!

Wonderful experience!

Great place right on the town, easy access, very clean and quick response from the host!

We had a wonderful syay at Kyle's flat. We have two young kids, 5 & 3, and felt safe in the area. The reason for our stay in Bryson City was to ride on the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad, which was incredible, and the flat was perfectly located so that we could walk to it and other ares of town. The flat had everything one might need while being away from home. It was clean and very comfortable. Kyle communicated well, and we felt like his description of the property was spot on. We'll be back!

Kyle's flat is a wonderful modern 2 BR apartment that has been beautifully decorated. The flat has everything one might need for a short or long stay. Kyle was responsive and recommended some excellent restaurants and shops within walking distance. The Cork and Bean was our favorite restaurant and the Nantahala Brewing Co offered excellent live music and beer.. We would definitely stay in the flat again and we highly recommend it. We appreciate your hospitality, Kyle.

Great place for our family of four. Great location within walking distance to downtown and GSMR. I would recommend the flat to anyone. Just know that someone lives upstairs and you'll hear him/her walking around up there and you'll hear the train intermittently.

Well appointed, classy. Easy walk to town.

Scott and Ed were really kind and friendly when we communicated! They are on their way to having a really great place on their hands but unfortunately didn't seem quite ready for guests as many of their amenities listed weren't there. There was no Wi-Fi (which put a dent in my work schedule) and the lock on the front door broke off and it took them a few days to fix it (luckily the location is safe). The TV didn't work and a couple of things like window shades and tables needed updating BUT really- the place was adorable. There were some really fantastic hiking trails in the Smokies just 2 miles from the trailer. I went when it was cold but there were 2 space heaters which were more than enough to keep me warm! Cute town and charming place to stay. Once Scott and Ed finish fixing up the place, I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quiet getaway!

Scott & Ed were great hosts! They were easy to communicate with and had great recommendations for things to do and places to visit in town. We will visit again!

It's a unique and interesting experience, but be very careful when opening and closing the windows, blinds and curtains, they're very fragile because they're old! Scott and Ed has done a great job fixing up the place and tries to provide everything that a guest might need, but we really missed having a microwave!! They said because there wasn't any place for it, I think the bench below the TV might be a good place for it.

Very good experience. The river is right upfront, provision for campfire and grilling. The Airstream is small, so if you are more than 2, dont expect the most comfortable experience. The host was great and accommodated all our needs. The location is a big plus. Just like you go camping, you will need to adjust a little bit - may not justify paying 80-100 a night. Its perfect for a weekend getaway for a couple or friends. If you are 4 people, You WILL feel space constrained (im sure you are aware its an airstream not a hotel). Make sure weather is warm and sunny. Cold and swamp/rainy will just be messy.

Trailer was as-expected: vintage & quaint. TV didn't work, and hosts had me try to do some problem solving (configure new remote, download an app to my phone, try my laptop), but hosts gave a partial refund which helps. None of the trail recommendations they made allowed dogs, so I did my own research to find some places to see. Despite the rain, it was a nice stay.

Place was beautiful, perfect, and we will be back for sure next time we are in town!

The Air stream was everything we hoped for and more! It was just as it looks in the pictures and was fully equipped with everything we needed on our trip to the Smoky's. We stopped by the grocery store for some provisions and were able to make full breakfasts every morning before our hikes. Scott offered a number of excellent suggestions for places to eat and hikes to do in the park. He was very responsive over text before and during our stay. I wouldn't even call these "complaints" because we still had such a lovely time, but the shower curtain is supported by double sided tape on one side which was become a little worn so it doesn't really stay up. We did our best to not get water everywhere but it was a little challenging. The TV was also not working. We were totally fine without it, but would have been happy with it also. Overall, this was a really unique and awesome experience!

We wanted to stay in the mountains and Scott & Ed's place looked comfy. It is a vintage Airstream trailer parked on a lot by itself. It is situated just above the river outside of Bryson City about half a mile from the 'center' of town (cute town, by the way). Even though it still has the potential to be mobile, it is equipped for living. There is a full kitchen and bathroom, and storage space if needed. We loved sitting on the deck in the evening for a glass of wine and to watch the river float on by.

The cabin was just the right size for a family of three.

I had a great stay here. Everything was very clean upon check in. It was very convenient having a dog-friendly place with a fenced in yard. I would definitely stay here again!

You will not be disappointed if you stay here. The place is very clean,comfortable, quiet and close to many places you may want to visit like the Smokey Mountain Park, Cherokee Village, etc. David is a great host, always responding to any questions you may have. Thank you!

Very clean and well-set up place. Perfect for a dog/pets to roam around the back yard. Thank you!

We loved our stay here and felt very at home! Very close to railway and the town! Perfect!

Very clean and close to town. Great backyard for your dog. That being said, just being able to bring your pet is awesome. Thanks David

David is ready to answer any questions, place is silent but very close to the town were you can find anything you need

Really cute place for couples, especially if you have a dog. We loved being able to let our dog out in the backyard without having to worry about him. Location is very close to town which was super convenient and the place was immaculately clean! David was great to communicate with.

Great stay in Bryson City. Stumbling distance from a quaint little downtown in the mountains with great breweries, hometown restaurants, coffee shops and local shopping.

On arriving at West Oak we were pleasantly surprised to discover that Mercedith had given us a complementary upgrade from our Bed and Breakfast booking to a cabin! We had a wonderful stay in Cabin 3 which has great views of downtown Bryson and the Smoky Mountains in the horizon. The cabin was furnished with all amenities, and on returning to the cabin after a day away we were amazed to discover that Mercedith had changed towels and made up the bed in our absence – it felt very much like we were hotel guests. For those who need to be connected while on vacation just note that there was no wifi in the cabin. We were out and about, and happy to get away from the daily grind so being offline wasn’t a concern. We very much enjoyed meeting Mercedith and had a lovely stay in Cabin 3! We will certainly be looking to return if we’re ever in the area.

Great place to stay in Bryson City. I stayed in Room 5. Place is exactly as stated, but was surprised at how nice, big and private the patio was. Just a couple minutes walk into town for coffee shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.

Everything was perfect. We could here live music from the porch with a beautiful view of the mountains and downtown. Room was nice, Mecredith couldn't have been more easy to work with. We will be back!

The cabins are located at a great location in Bryson city. 2 min away from the Main Street. The cabin is clean and comfortable. Cabin contains a coffee maker, fridge and oven to make you feel like home. All in all a great place to stay.

We loved being here! Such a great experience and the ambiance was so unique. Mercideth and Jonathan made sure our stay was comfortable and it was! Highly recommended and we'll make sure to visit again!

We enjoyed our stay. Meredith was very nice. The room was as described. Beds were comfortable. Quiet location close to the center. Nice.

On a trip to the Smokies we were guests of West Oak Room 5, and it was a very clean and comfy room, and described perfectly. We loved the private balcony, and enjoyed making smores in the fireplace. Check in and check out was a breeze, and convenient as we arrived in Bryson City much later than we originally planned Also, the whole downtown area chalked full of great restaurants was easily walkable! We look forward to returning in the future!

We ended up having to change our travel plans at the last minute, so we didn't end up staying with Mercedith. However, every interaction we had with her (phone and email) was professional, prompt, and helpful. I would definitely look into staying here next time I'm in the area!

Very convenient, clean and accessible location. Enjoyed our stay and accommodating hosts in Bryson City.

This place is awesome! I stayed here with my girlfriend and one other couple, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!The cabin has pretty much everything you could want it to have: scenic front porch view, fire pit, grill and picnic table, a stash of board games, and a full kitchen. I truly appreciated Amanda's quick responses. She left me with no questions and a great first impression. A brief March snowstorm turned the whole place into a winter wonderland -- some Spring Break we had! I would definitely look to come back here another time!

We enjoyed our stay in the cabin. Very convenient and close to the things we wanted to do.

My whole family had a wonderful time in Amenda's house. It did't take us any time to adjust and feel staying at home. I even cooked a real dinner there. If we travel to the Great Smoky Mountains again, I will choose this place again.

This was a very clean vacation rental and at a price that was more than reasonable. Highly recommend!

We were on a 7 day vacation and only stayed here 2 nights, wished we would have stayed here all 7...beautiful cabin on the river, very clean, well supplied and Amanda was EXCELLENT to deal with. The town of Bryson City was a gem...lots to see and do...thank you for a wonderful experience!

This cottage provided the perfect setting for our family train excursion in Bryson City. The cottage was comfortable and clean. We were close to restaurants and the train station. An added bonus was watching the train from the front porch! The house is located on a small side street just outside of the center of Bryson City. It seems to be an older section of town, but the house has been remodeled and is great!

The house was great, had everything needed to enjoy our stay. The surrounding neighborhood was rundown but very quiet and private. We were able to contact owners and get a timely or immediate response.

Adorable interior, very cozy!

The day we arrived at the cabin was the day of the winter storm Jonas. Being from Florida we didn't know much about snow or driving in snow. We were a little scared and even thought about changing our plans. But we ended up going through with it and we are so glad we did. Darrel was very helpful keeping us updated with the weather conditions in the area and gave us different options. Once we open the door to this cabin we forgot all about the storm and the 16 hours it took a us to get there. All six of us felt right at home. Everything was brand new and extremely clean. The kitchen had all kinds of tools to cook, which was great since everything was closed that weekend. There's also a grocery store near by if you need to buy food. There were a fee hikes near by and we loved the scenery. Overall I will love to come back here, this time in the summer to be able to enjoy more of the town. This was our first time in a cabin and it was an experience we'll never forget. I truly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a nice relaxing vacation or even for a honeymoon location.

Lovely stay with great views and well thought out vacation space. Would love to come back.

Amazing cabin!! Darrell is a great host. Very responsive incase you need anything. Will be rebooking for future trips!

The Home was beautiful and is true to how it was described. All amenities were included, we had a wonderful time. The view from the hot tub is amazing.

This place was amazing. The views were spectacular. The place was spotless and amenities were great!!!!!! Will definetely be visiting again. Finish your day soaking in the hot tub looking for those elusive black bears! Contact with Darrell was great and check in and check out was spot on.

The cabin is beautiful and the view is fantastic. Darrell is quick to respond and helpful in any way needed. Good location, very close to Bryson City.

The cabin is perfectly located and has an amazing view of the valley. If you don't mind not having wifi you'll have plenty to do, we made steaks on the bbq and enjoyed the beautiful surroundings late into the night over bourbon. Loved Black Bear Lodge.

We enjoyed our stay at Black Bear Lodge. Accomodations were as advertised, and the house is as nice / nicer than pics. Beautiful sounds emulated from a creek / river in the valley below. Nice views from the expansive front porch. Beds were very comfortable. Will definitely stay again when in the area.

Great place to stay. Kyle came by and introduced himself when we got there. Beautiful tiny home. Well maintained. Very comfortable for 4 people.

I enjoyed my stay. I will come back.

We just returned from our trip to Bryson City and we absolutely loved staying at the tiny house. It was perfect for the two of us. The house is new, clean, modern, and nicely furnished. It was a perfect location for exploring the NC side of the Smokey Mountains. If we return to area, we would definitely stay here again

First time using AirBNB. Kyle was amazing helping us get it all setup. We got to house very late and only got to stay about 6 hours but unique place to stay and so much better than a hotel. Very cool place, we will definitely be back.

This is one of the nicest Airbnbs I've stayed in. Incredibly well thought out and walkable to downtown Bryson City. Kyle was awesome to work with- I highly recommend it!

The tiny house is awesome. It is super clean and within walking distance to everything Bryson city has to offer.

A perfect little home in a most convenient place. The " tiny" home is so well thought out and perfectly appointed for a stay in Bryson City. We walked for all our meals to this charming little town from the house and for our Great Smoky Mountain Railway adventure. I can't imagine a better place to stay while visiting Bryson City. Thanks for the hospitality!

Lovely stay. Very comfy bed! Loved the proximity to downtown shops, restaurants, and the brewery!

Very comfortable cabin. Great view.

Teresa was a great host! She allowed us to check in early and had a nice basket of fruit and granola bars for us. She met us at the house and showed us around and even invited us around the corner to a bonfire later that night. The house is conveniently located a couple minutes to the Deep Creek park (great hikes to waterfalls) and tubing rentals. Only a few minutes to downtown with shopping and restaurants (try Cork & Bean and La Poblano which is just past the IGA grocery store).

Love the house... great size...great amenities. Look forward to the next trip there

We were very happy. The location was very convenient and the cabin with clean and very comfortable. I would definitely recommend this spot to friends.

We rented Maria's cabin for a family weekend getaway and thoroughly enjoyed it! The cabin is absolutely gorgeous. It's close to town, but secluded enough for privacy. It was also very close to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We visited the park on Saturday, and were easily able to hike to three gorgeous waterfalls. Would definitely recommend!

The cabin is phenomenal! So much space and super homey. I would love to go back for a longer time sometime!

Thank you for making our time in Bryson City a wonderful experience! The apartment was beautiful and very comfortable. It's location was perfect and we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. We look forward to staying at Madison Suites again!

We loved this Airbnb! Location was perfect. The apartment is very nicely appointed, better than the pictures. The space was very clean. Very convenient to the park, hiking and restaurants. We will likely return! Very impressed.

This apartment is perfect for a Bryson City , Nantahala Gorge visit. Perfect location, comfortable, quiet, clean, and well appointed. Walking distance to restaurants, shops and readily accessible to hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, etc. I will plan another visit soon!

The apartment exceeded our expectations in pretty much every way, it was well appointed, clean, and larger than we thought. It was perfect for our quick mountain getaway and conveniently located for a day/afternoon trip to Cullowhee and Cherokee.

Great place to stay for a couples get away in Bryson City!

So happy that me and my husband chose here to stay! Not only was it the perfect location to walk to all the restaurants and shops, Todd and his wife are very welcoming and made us feel very comfortable. The apartment was spotless and the bed was so comfortable! My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay and plan on returning! Bryson city was absolutely fantastic.
