Smoky Mountain Depot ~ Great Secluded Cabin in a Gated Community

This is a great secluded cabin in a gated community. The peacefulness of this mountain will bring serenity to even the busiest of those among us.

Stop in, enjoy a cup of Joe on the spacious porch in the morning and the coziness of a warm fire at night.

Our cabin is located within 25 minutes from the Nantahala Outdoor Center, the Appalachian Trail, Tsali Recreation Area and the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. We are also located less than 30 miles from Hwy 129, The Tail of the Dragon, motorcycle run.

Check out Bryson City's Numerous attractions:
Whitewater kayaking and rafting. World class mountain biking, Fly Fishing, The Appalachian Trail, Great Smoky Mountain Railway.
Truly, there is something for everyone!

The Cabin includes a master bedroom with king size bed downstairs, and a loft with 2 queen size beds. All the comforts of home and then some. There is a completely remodeled kitchen with all Stainless appliances, gas stove, dishwasher, and even a heated tiled floor to keep those barefoot toes warm in the morning. It is all topped off with Oronoko Granite from Brazil.

Newly updated bathroom with new washer and dryer, all tile with heated floors and 2 person MTI Jacuzzi!

In the living area you will enjoy the beauty and warmth of a wood burning stove, large screen TV, DVD player and 100s of movies to choose from. Brazilian Teak graces the floors for a beautiful warm feeling. Sit and Enjoy the "G" Scale train as it runs around the cabin and even through the walls.

A note about pricing: VRBO keeps saying I should raise my rates, especially during peak seasons, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, e.t.c.
It has always irritated me that hotels e.t.c. do that. So if I want to enjoy my family during the holidays, I have to pay a premium???

I'm sorry, I think that's just wrong, so why would I do that to my guest? Prices are the same EVERY DAY of the year. If you want a holiday, summer dates, e.t.c. just book early before someone else does, and enjoy your family at the regular prices.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Secluded Mountain Oasis

The Smokey Mountain Depot delivered seclusion with a breath taking view! The highlight of our stay was filled with sitting on the porch taking in the beauty of the Smoky Mountains. The accommodations were very comfortable and the attention to detail was definitely noticeable. Our visit to the Smoky Mountains was memorable with our stay at the Depot being among the top of our favorites on our trip.

Perfect Disconnected Getaway

Property is just as described. Quiet, peaceful, view was breathtaking. We had everything we needed for our stay. Only thing I would say is there are 3 cameras on the property that are not in the listing. The one that points directly at the seating on the porch and door was a little off putting. I understand the need for security especially in the remoteness of this cabin! Just wished we it would have been addressed in some way in the listing . I did not contact the owner as it did not effect our stay..

Cozy cabin deep in the mountains

Location is secluded and what feels like deep in the mountains, about 30 or 40 minute drive from Bryson City and national park walks etc. Was easy to get to.The cabin nice and traditional but with modern bath/kitchen etc.Great views over the valley.The train going round the cabin is awesome.

Breathtaking views

What an absolutely amazing breathtaking view and the ride up was quite breathtaking also LOL. The cabin was everything described and more online. The owners are absolutely amazing at what they have done with this cabin, they have definitely paid attention to all the small details. By the time we got up there it was dark I definitely recommend getting up there in daylight. As scary as it was for the drive I will do it over 100 times beautiful place with a gorgeous view and everything you could ever need or want at the cabin even if you forgot something they thought of all the extras and more. Thank you for sharing such an amazing place with us.

Mountain Paradise

The Smoky Mountain Depot was the most amazing stay for my wife and I. Peaceful, tranquil and beautiful are but a few ways to describe this mountain oasis. Charming and beautifully appointed, this cabin has it all. But best of all was front porch view. Whether sitting in the rocking chair with morning coffee or watching the sun set over the mountain ridges, to watching the stars begin to appear in the sky, every moment was so incredibly special. Additionally, Mark does a wonderful job at prearrival communication, providing extensive information to enhance the stay. You went be disappointed!
