Perfect location and town home!!
This town home was just PERFECT for our stay in Bryson City. It was just a few minutes walk to the town and to the train to ride the polar express. The location cannot be beat. The townhome was brand new and beautiful! They did such a great job with decor and it was well stocked with everything you could ever need. The bunk room was amazing with TVs in each of the 4 bunks, my kids absolutely loved it. The beds were super comfy and the hosts were very accommodating and easy to communicate with. We had the best stay and will definitely be back.
