NEW Mountain Trace Cottage in Bryson City/Smokey Mountains. Pet/Child friendly

Enjoy a stay in our cottage nestled in the mountains of Bryson city on almost 5 acres with Grassy Branch stream running through it. Get away while still enjoying numerous amenities all within 5-20 minutes' drive. Although our cottage feels remote it’s just 14 mins to downtown Bryson City’s Mainstreet & the great Smokey Mountain railway. Just 12 mins to closest ingles store, 20 mins to NOC (Natahala Outdoor Center) & just 10 mins from the Alarka marina. There are numerous trails including the Appalachian trail within near driving distance. Explore the ‘Road to No Where’ & learn the rich history of this area. With numerous local waterfalls & trails; the area is a hiker's dream. Our understanding is the "Rice" family founded the land and there are still plum trees on our property dating back to them.
PLEASE NOTE: we've been made aware of a GPS issue. There seems to be an error when using google maps; it inadvertently directs traffic to the street after ours, vs our driveway. The street across from us is 'Redhill road' - we advise guests to look for this landmark as we are located directly across the street from Redhill Road.
We've tried to provide all the amenities you may need. (Full sized oven & fridge, Hot Tub, washer/dryer, 55" smart TV, predictable Wi-Fi/internet & 'stocked' it with most things non disposable that one may need) The bedroom features a queen-sized bed. The bathroom has full-sized shower/tub with stackable laundry. Laundry soap & dryer sheets provided. A futon (with an extra twin plug-in blow-up mattress/linens are located in the futon storage) in living room. Linens and towels/wash cloths are provided. Our quaint cottage can accommodate 2 very comfortably but, up to 4 and is pet friendly. The hot tub is brand new and located adjacent to the house and perfect for star gazing.
There’s an upper cleared area on the property - feel free to explore & enjoy the property's view. If you enjoy nature, hiking, or just sightseeing in the great outdoors, like we do, we're hoping you'll enjoy our place too.
*We do occasionally have a visitor, a porch puppy. He is a large brown dog who is super friendly with animals, kids and adults. Weve heard he's been showing up since the previous owners started developing a couple years ago. A few months ago, we noticed who ever owns him is trying to keep on their property as he has a shock collar. We had not seen him in May but he's made a reappearance here late in June. Please do NOT allow porch puppy in the house. If ignored, he will go home. If he's petted or fed he will stay on porch or under porch by hot tub.
