Stacked Stone Retreat - Bryson City Luxury Log Home close to town

Custom built luxury log home that is conveniently located only about 5 minutes from town, 10 minutes from Deep Creek and Road to Nowhere, 15 minutes from the NOC and Fontana Lake. This home sits on 2 private acres that are beautifully landscaped so that you can enjoy peace and quiet as a base camp for your mountain adventure. Go hiking, ride the train, visit the local shops, restaurants, and breweries in downtown Bryson City without having to navigate a steep driveway! A huge deck extends the entire way around with a covered porch on one side where you can relax and hear the birds chirping or wave to the passing Great Smoky Mountain Railroad guests. A massive stacked Tennessee Field Stone gas fireplace allows you to relax in the main living area. Visiting for the holidays? ***In 2025 we will decorate the house for Christmas in mid-November!***A cook's kitchen featuring 2 ovens, a gas range, a wet bar and lots of granite counter top space make food prep easy.

All we really did was use this as our place to sleep each night, but we had a really comfortable stay. 4 couples, each with their own room and full bathroom really made this stay feel luxurious. And divided 4 ways, its very affordable this way.

Beautiful home in beautiful Bryson NC

We enjoyed our stay at this wonderful home. It was spotless and well stocked with everything needed to enjoy your time there. You can relax and do nothing or be busy doing a different activity everyday. The location is great, a bit secluded but close to most things you’ll want to do. We all had a great time and hope to enjoy another week there in the future.

Wonderful Weekend Home Base

We traveled to share the same Santa’s Land with our grandkids that their moms enjoyed 25 years earlier. This house was a great home base for our long weekend trip. The grands loved the toy options and the adults loved the house layout and well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed making wonderful memories while at the house, s’mores at the fire pit, walking/sitting several areas provided outdoors, and definitely waving to the passengers coming by on the steam engine train ride that we saw loading up earlier that morning while we visited Bryson City for a delicious breakfast at Everett Street Diner.

Perfect for Large Family!

We loved this property. The home was beautiful and it meet all of our expectations. Four bedrooms (with very comfy beds), each with a bathroom...what's not to like about that?!?! The kitchen was so well stocked, we had everything we needed to prepare meals for several people. I especially loved that there were two ovens. I was able to bake a ham in one and all the sides in the other. The two living areas were large for socializing and the dining table sat eight people, exactly what we needed. The location was also ideal, in the country, quiet and peaceful, yet close enough to make a quick trip to the grocery store in town. The house and property is beautiful. I don't think the pictures do it justice. I might also add that there is plenty of space for parking (we had five vehicles). During our stay, we had no need to contact our host, Stephanie, because everything was great. We will definitely consider returning for our next Family Reunion. Oh, Stephanie, thank you for leaving out the Christmas decor, we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Perfect place to stay in Bryson!!

This home is WONDERFUL. Plenty of space, phenomenal outdoor areas, super convenient (yet still out of the way) location, and a top-notch, exceptionally responsive host. We are already eager to find time to return to Bryson City and stay at this house again. Thank you to Steph for answering all of my questions and providing such a fantastic home-away-from-home for our family's stay.

Absolutely wonderful place! You can’t go wrong renting Stacked Stone Retreat. Plenty of space to spread out. Every bedroom has its own bathroom and there’s another half bath on the main level. This was the most well stocked place I’ve ever rented. Kitchen has everything you could want and more. The landscaping and outdoor spaces are immaculate too. We enjoyed hanging out on the deck and watching the train go by. Only a 6 minute drive to downtown Bryson City. 20 minutes from Cherokee. Matt and Steph (owners) are very accommodating and quick to respond to any questions or needs we had. We can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful, Roomy Cabin

We rented this cabin because we came to Bryson City to ride the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad (GSMR). The depot was only five minutes away. This 4-BR cabin is very large and extremely nice. It has a large kitchen, roomy bedrooms and a porch that wraps all the way around the house. The gas fireplace is BEAUTIFUL! We liked it so much we are looking for a reason to go back and stay again. We really enjoyed the GSMR, too. If we ever go back, we will certainly try to rent this cabin again.

Overall a good stay

The house was very nice, however there were a few disappointments. The upstairs bedroom stated on the listing that there is a queen bed, but it was a full size with a severe sag in the middle of the mattress which was uncomfortable. The driveway was hard to enter and exit with my Corvette due to the sharp angle from the road in front, and scraped the new front spoiler I just installed which will require repair of the finish. Also, the WIFI was bad and took forever to download anything. There is no TV available unless you have a Netflix or Amazon Video account, so we couldn't watch any TV, and only one TV in the whole house which was downstairs. Kitchen was great and main king bedrooms were nice. Spent time on the deck, nice view. The couches and chairs could definitely use replacement as most were pretty broke down.
