About this home

Experience modern mountain living at its finest in this beautifully designed 4-bedroom, 4-bath home in the heart of Bryson City. With fresh contemporary finishes, spacious living areas, and an ideal location, this property is perfect for full-time living, a vacation escape, or a high-performing investment—currently operating as a very successful short-term rental and offered with the option to purchase fully furnished and fully stocked.

Inside, the open-concept layout showcases a striking wooden cathedral ceiling in the living room, clean modern lines, and thoughtfully curated design touches. Large windows flood the home with natural light throughout. Each bedroom offers comfort and privacy, including two first-floor primary suites with private en-suite baths. With four full bathrooms and generously sized bedrooms, the home easily accommodates up to 11 guests—ideal for multigenerational families or larger groups.

Step outside to a spacious deck with a hot tub, perfect for enjoying crisp mountain evenings or peaceful mornings among the trees. A charming second-level balcony offers an intimate spot for reading or relaxing, while the fire pit invites gatherings under star-filled skies. Endless outdoor adventures await just beyond your doorstep, with nearby hiking trails, waterfalls, and scenic overlooks.

The location is exceptional—just a short stroll from the beloved Polar Express train attraction. Bryson City is a welcoming mountain town at the gateway to the Great Smokies, complete with charming shops, friendly locals, and a Hallmark-movie atmosphere that enchants visitors year-round.

Blending modern style with rustic warmth, this serene retreat offers unforgettable mountain living and impressive rental potential. Don’t miss the opportunity to own a remarkable getaway in one of the Smokies’ most desirable destinations.

Unlock the potential for nearly 1,200 sq ft of additional finished living or recreational space by transforming both the garage and the basement. Although these areas are not adjacent, each presents its own valuable opportunity to expand the home’s livable footprint. The basement already features a mini-split system for airt conditioning, generous ceiling height, and exterior access—making it an ideal candidate for a playroom, home theater, gym, office, and more. The above-grade garage can also be finished to create additional living space or even converted into another bedroom. The possibilities are endless!

PS: Drive by but do not drive up the driveway, as the property is an active vacation rental and guests cannot be disturbed. Thank you!

A rough rule — actual qualification depends on your full debt picture, credit, and the lender. John can introduce you to lenders he trusts.
