This was our second stay at this property with our kids (10, 8, 6, 5) for the Polar Express. If you went to drive 20 minutes out of town for amazing views, this isn’t your place. If you want to be moments, not minutes from town, with decent views, this is your place. The owners leave a pack and play plus several kids toys there which makes it awesome when you have small(er) ones. We haven’t used the hot tub but it’s available if you want it! Bryson City is an awesome town; and make sure you check out Mountain Layers Brewing!
