Time Flies is so close to town but feels remote! Experience the best of both worlds here. This "Mountain Modern" house is tucked away on the banks of the Tuckasegee River with a dirt road and the Smoky Mountain Railroad fronting the property. Guests enjoy watching the tourist train pass by, especially in November and December when it's decorated for the Polar Express! Old River road is also a great resource offering prime river access or take a leisure walk down the long dirt road. The house is also only about a mile away from Deep Creek, which is park of The Smoky Mountains National Park.

The size of the home was perfect for the two of us. Great proximity to town and Deep Creek trails and waterfalls. Used the fit pit three nights. A bit too warm for the hot tub. Covered front porch really nice for evening cocktails.Wish the river view less obstructed. Suggest an upgrade to fire pit chairs.

We traveled to Bryson City for a Gospel Music event over the July 4 weekend. It was our first time here and we searched quite a bit to find a property we liked.
This little house is a gem. The owners have really done a remarkable job utilizing a small space beside the river and railroad track.
The property was as described in the listing. Everything was very clean and provided a comfortable stay. There was an electrical problem with the hot tub while we were there and the owners communicated well with us.
One little quirk of this property is how you get to it. We got lost the first time. You've basically got to drive up a ditch bank and cross a railroad track without a crossing. It's o.k. after you get used to it, but is a little sketchy at first!

Time Flies a quaint almost tiny house, we'd love to return to. Even as adults, when we hear the SMRR train horn blow into the evening air, one cannot help but smile with delight and try to catch a glimpse! Communication was prompt with our hosts and any questions or concerns were answered thoughtfully. Our space was clean and stocked with the necessary kitchen items. All in all a great value for proximity, yet rustic and rural atmosphere in Bryson City.

An enjoyable location with view of river. In the city, but feels like you’re not. The cabin was a great stay for us!

The cabin was in a very nice little area by the river with easy access to the town. It had all amenities and comforts. Host communication was great. Would stay here again!

We just wanted to get away for an evening and this place was everything we wanted! House was immaculate and just as advertised. Beautiful views of the river/sunset. Crossing the rail road tracks was a fun way to get onto the site. The only slight complaint we had was the bed wasn’t the comfiest. Kept hitting our shins on the frame itself because it sticks out a bit. Otherwise, was fantastic. Will only be staying here when we come to Bryson City!

This is a great place. We were happy to be here with our dog. So much to do around the area during the day and a very relaxing place at night. We have never been to this area but will definitely be back.

What a wonderful place to stay! It was possible the cleanest rental I’ve ever stayed.
I’m going blind so my guide dog was with me and my husband. We also brought our other pup and this was just perfect with plenty of room.
We really appreciated all the labels throughout the home.
It was very easy checking in and checking out.
If you get a chance to ride the train do so. The meals are wonderful, the people working with the train are some of the friendliest you’ll ever meet.
The entire town is friendly.
Did I mention the view from inside and outside of this rental?
If I could see it image how beautiful it really it is!
Anyone who is visually impaired I would recommend this rental.
It was just perfect!
We hope to return again!
