The Holiday House @ Hideaway Point

Tucked into the forest yet conveniently located, The Holiday House at Hideaway Point is a spacious mountain retreat in the heart of the Nantahala Gorge — just 10 minutes from the charming town of Bryson City. This large group vacation rental is ideal for family reunions, retreats, weddings, and gatherings looking for comfort, privacy, and access to the best of Western North Carolina.

We created Hideaway Point as a place where people can slow down, reconnect, and enjoy meaningful time together in the mountains. Whether you are gathering with family, celebrating with friends, planning a retreat, or simply getting away, we hope this property gives you space to rest, explore, and make lasting memories.

Bryson City is known for whitewater rafting on the Nantahala River, hiking in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, mountain biking, scenic train rides on the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, Fontana Lake, waterfalls, fly fishing, and local breweries and restaurants.

This listing is specifically for The Holiday House — one of four separate VRBO listings available at Hideaway Point. Guests can rent:
• The Holiday House
• The Hideout
• The Hostel
• Or the full Hideaway Point property, which combines all three homes for large groups, retreats, reunions, and small weddings.

The Holiday House is the largest home at Hideaway Point, offering 5 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms across three levels. Designed for connection and comfort, the home includes a full kitchen, dining area, multiple living spaces, and a flexible layout that works well for families and groups who want room to spread out while still being together.

One of the standout features of The Holiday House is its wellness-focused amenities, including a private hot tub, outdoor fire pit, and a cedar sauna with windows looking out into the forest — a rare and memorable mountain experience guests love year-round.

This home is especially well-suited for multi-generational families, wedding groups, and retreats, with sleeping arrangements that include a loft with four twin beds and a private bedroom with a kitchenette for added flexibility.

The Holiday House is one of three homes located on the Hideaway Point property, along with The Hideout and The Hostel. The homes are thoughtfully spaced for privacy while still sharing the peaceful atmosphere of the property.

Our onsite groundskeeper, Sarah, lives in a private apartment attached to The Holiday House. She helps care for the property year-round and is a great local resource for guests. Sarah shares the property with two friendly Labrador retrievers and a few interesting aquarium pets.
