Discover a truly unique mountain escape in Bryson City, North Carolina, where a historic mountain cottage and the actual caboose from the movie "The Fugitive" share one private yard. This extraordinary pairing offers two completely different spaces, giving your group the perfect balance of togetherness and privacy, all located less than a 10-minute walk from downtown.
Sleeping arrangements are designed for flexibility, accommodating up to 8 guests. The historic cottage features two bedrooms with king beds—including one handmade from sassafras wood—and a full bathroom with an oversized tub and shower. For those seeking a separate retreat, the caboose (P&WV #839) provides four twin bunks, including two upper bunks accessible by ladder with personal windows overlooking the mountains, and its own full bathroom with a shower.
Key Features & Amenities:
The cottage is a nod to Bryson City's early days, featuring hand-hewn log walls, stone floors, and rustic log-frame furniture updated with modern comforts. The caboose is a genuine historic train car with original hardwood floors and authentic railroad details. Guests can enjoy an open front yard around the fire pit or a more secluded backyard behind the cottage.
Located in the heart of Bryson City, you are a 5-minute walk from downtown shops, restaurants, and breweries. The Great Smoky Mountain Railway and Polar Express depot are a 10-minute walk away, and the Deep Creek Trailhead is just 9 minutes away. Nearby attractions include the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Downtown Cherokee, and the Nantahala Outdoor Center.
