Historic Hazel House - Downtown Bryson City

Located right on Main Street in downtown Bryson City, the Hazel House was originally built in 1902 has been fully brought up to date with all modern comforts. Guests can sit on the porch and enjoy the view as well as walk to restaurants and shops and the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad. The entire restoration is featured in a series by the Perkins Builder Brothers.

The Hazel House was originally built in 1902 has been fully brought up to date with all modern comforts. The Hazel House has two bedrooms each with a king size bed and private bathroom. The living room area is an open floor plan and the kitchen is fully stocked for cooking. We’ve stocked the Hazel House with board games and tried to think of every detail that will make your stay perfect. The loft has been transformed into a cozy reading area and workspace. In November and December, the house is fully decked out for Christmas and the Polar Express.

Every aspect of the Hazel House has a story behind it. Fully restored from its days when Bud and Hazel Jacks lived on Main Street and ran their jewelry store next door. There was once a door that connected the two. Reclaimed materials and eco-friendly products have been used throughout. All artifacts found on the property during excavation have been saved and displayed. We love the history of this home and its unique location right in the heart of town. There are two dedicated parking spaces located right behind the house so there is no need to find public parking downtown and in the winter there are no treacherous inclines to tackle. The parking area is well lit and very safe.

From the Hazel House you can walk right across the street to restaurant favorites like Jimmy Macs, Pasqualino’s, Everett Hotel Bistro or pick up food from the food truck and eat at the Bryson City Outdoors Taproom. You can walk to the nearby seasonal Friday farmers’ market for fresh produce from our local farmers, honey from our local beekeepers and crafts from local artisans. Walk along the river and put your feet in the cool water at nearby Island Park. Hop in the car and drive just 3 miles to the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

There is one small IGA grocery store within walking distance and a larger Ingles a few minutes away. We know you'll feel right at home. If you need something extra let us know!

This was our second time staying at the Historic Hazel House and we loved it just as much as we did the first time! Every aspect of the house is thoughtful and created with care. The beds are comfortable, the porch is lovely, and we truly enjoyed being right in the middle of everything in downtown Bryson City!

Great place to stay, very clean and well furnished. It has two bedrooms (each with en suite bath) and one loft. Not technically three full bedrooms. Very hard to beat the location and charm of the house.

Perfect mountain town stay

This was our favorite vacation rental we’ve ever had, anywhere. The cute style, spotlessness, great location, comfort (including good mattresses!), amenities & thoughtful touches (umbrellas, games/toys, local coffee, diffuser of nice scents when we arrived) were perfect. Cannot say enough good things about this property & the nose! Can’t wait to go back next summer and will book early enough to make sure we get it.

Amazing in town cottage

We loved this property. It is perfect for a long or short getaway to Bryson City. You can walk to everything in town. Plus it is a short drive to many local attractions. Look forward to going back. My family went for short weekend for the Polar Express and couldn’t have been more pleased. Thanks again to Ashley who also owns the art galley next door.

Great Property and Great Location!

The Hazel House is the best rental property I have stayed at. I travel several times a year with three friends for girls weekends. We love the Bryson City area and for future trips will only book the Hazel House. The property is spotless and the owner goes above and beyond to ensure that it is well stocked. The location is great because you can walk to book stores, restaurants and other retail stores. If you are coming to Bryson City, you need to stay at Hazel House.
