Big Oaks Pointe -- Close to Great Smokys Railroad - Seclusion with Mountain View

Soak in the hot tub on the back porch and be serenaded by the sounds of the Tuckaseegee River. Surrounded by forested seclusion. Sip hot cocoa by the fireplace. Explore the Smokys by train: the tourist railroad depot is right in town.

Hidden among soaring trees and just outside of Bryson City, Big Oaks Pointe is centrally located.
The twinkling lights on the mountains of Bryson City will dazzle you as you relax on the porch.

 2 Bedrooms & 2 Baths: The first bedroom has a king bed, mountain view, and TV and adjoining full bathroom. The second bedroom has a Queen Bed, mountain view. with adjacent full bathroom

 Enjoy grilling rain or shine.  Sink down into the hot tub and let your cares drift away.
 
The stone gas fireplace stretches to the ceiling.  Curl up on the leather sofas and enjoy your favorite shows on satellite TV.
 
Not only is the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad depot less than a mile away, but stand up paddle boarding and fly fishing on the Tuckaseegee River are also only minutes from Big Oaks Pointe.  Come see why Deep Creek is one of the best loved hiking spots in the area -- beautiful waterfalls pour over ancient stones in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

A fifteen minute drive will bring you to the cool deep waters of Fontana Lake with pontoon boats and bass fishing. Will you hit the jackpot? Harrah’s Cherokee Casino is just 20 minutes from the cabin.

The Best Location for a Bryson City Weekend
My wife and I came to celebrate my 60th Birthday. I wanted a get away so I googled train vacations NC. The first one that popped up was for the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad out of Bryson City. A 4.5 hour relaxing train ride along the Nantahala River sounded perfect. We found this location on VRBO, along with too many other choices of cabins with hot tubs in the area. We chose Big Oaks because it was the closest to downtown Bryson. The cabin was very nice, beds very comfortable, hot tub was clean and relaxing, however the view of the Smokies was AMAZING. My favorite moment of our stay was while having my morning coffee on the covered patio as I watched a big thunderstorm in the distance on Sunday morning. The Smokies were really smoking !!! The driveway was steep, so be ready for that.

Tree House Views
Lovely mountain home with expansive views of the Smokies. Loved being serenaded with the sounds of the Tuskeegee River as we soaked in the hot tub. The house was clean and welcoming and amazingly spacious. One drawback is the steep drive but it's manageable. Looking forward to another visit!

Nice Cabin
The cabin was better than expected- info book of cabin and local trip ideas, tea, coffee provided, some laundry soap, dish detergent, garbage bags, toilet paper, games. Hot tub was nice but 100deg max temp was a little cool for our liking. Gas Fireplace was nice but didn’t stay lit for more than 10min. The location was close to all the stores. Felt secluded on the deck even though there were neighbors 50+yards away. Driveway was a little difficult at first. Loved that it was pet friendly.

This is by far one of the nicest and well taken care of places we’ve stayed. The furnishings and the kitchen ware were phenomenal. Very impressed. Though, the fire place does not stay lit for more than a minute.

Great location, view and house
The house is great, very clean, comfortable and hot tub is very relaxing! Also a great view of the mountains and you can see the train (from a distance) from the porch in the wintertime. The driveway can be a little tricky but worth the stay. Great location as well, only 7 minutes from the downtown.

Great location and house layout but broken features and lacking communication
The house has amazing views and the split 2/2 layout it great. So convenient to have a washer and dryer right in the house. You do hear the train every morning (early) but I enjoyed that. Unfortunately the communication with the property management company was lacking. I had to email three times and call twice to get them to send me the address and check in information. This information did not come until less than three hours before our check in time when we were already en route to the cabin, hoping we would not be left without a place to stay. During our stay the fireplace only worked for about a day (maintenance came out to turn on the pilot light but then the propane tank ran out and they never came to fill it) and the hot tub stopped working at the end of our stay. Maintenance tried to fix it but it was an electrical issue. The cabin also had no trash bags, so I’d recommend bringing some basic supplies. You only get two towels per person, so between the hot tub and showers you either need to bring some additional or do laundry/dry them often. If we hadn’t had multiple issues this would have been the perfect place to stay!

Wonderful view, tricky driveway
We loved our stay, our 5/7 year old had a blast with the games they had at the house and the wonderful view. The beds were comfy, check in was simple. The only negative was it was hard to get in and out of the driveway with our RAV4, luckily we had side cameras so it was doable

October Getaway
A nice floor plan with large rooms. Loved the view of Bryson City from the balcony. The bedroom tv's need to be hooked up to the satellite dish. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and dishes. The hot tub was fantastic! The house was a little hard to get to because the road was a little daunting since it was a one car road. Some of the curves need traffic mirrors mounted so you can see what is coming toward you.

Great Location in Bryson City NC
We rented this cabin for a girlfriends get away. We liked the split floor plan. The kitchen and baths are modern. Kitchen was well equipped. Nice flooring. Mattresses do need to be replaced Living room is dark even during the day. A very quiet place with views of the Smokies. Approach is a winding, one lane road which would be tricky at night. Only a mile or so to downtown Bryson City.

Great little stay for a couple
The property was just as listed! Overall, we enjoyed this property for a short stay; we are an older couple and enjoy exploring new places and love to find short opportunities to have our small sidekick, Benji, to travel with us. The master bed was literally one of the best in our traveling experience! Bryson City is geared toward those who enjoy the outdoors and rafting, with plenty to do as well as some downtown finer dining and shopping.

DON'T, IF YOU WANT COMFORT
The place has great potential could be a 5 star except; The bedroom TV's do not work. Messaged the manager and got a reply that it had been called in. So, no bedroom tv all weekend. the BIGGEST and WORST issue with this rental is the BEDDING. it was NOT a comfortable weekend. The mattress 's in both bedrooms have wollowed out troughs (sunk in spots) where each person has slept for who know how long. So if you are going for rest and relaxation, dont bother until they post that they have new bedding. I am so serious about this, when we walked in and looked at the beds we almost left for a motel. The beds were so bad that even with the bedspread on you could see the wollowed out spots in the mattress. There was not hope for refund since it was a spur of the moment trip but please beware. It is no joke. I have photos to show. THE PLACE IS NICE, BUT THE COMFORT OF BOTH THE BEDS MADE IT A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE, 2 in our party have back issues and it was BAD.
