The Hostel @ Hideaway Point

Tucked into the forest yet conveniently located, The Hostel at Hideaway Point offers a private mountain retreat in the heart of the Nantahala Gorge — just 10 minutes from the charming mountain town of Bryson City. This unique group-friendly vacation rental is ideal for families, retreats, reunions, and large gatherings looking for space, comfort, and access to Western North Carolina’s best outdoor adventures.

We created Hideaway Point as a place where people can slow down, reconnect, and enjoy meaningful time together in the mountains. Whether you are gathering with family, celebrating with friends, planning a retreat, or simply getting away, we hope this property gives you space to rest, explore, and make lasting memories.

Bryson City is known for whitewater rafting on the Nantahala River, hiking in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, mountain biking, scenic train rides on the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, Fontana Lake, waterfalls, fly fishing, and local breweries and restaurants.

This listing is specifically for The Hostel — one of four separate VRBO listings available at Hideaway Point. Guests can rent:
• The Hostel
• The Hideout
• The Holiday House
• Or the full Hideaway Point property, which combines all three homes for large groups, retreats, reunions, and small weddings.

The Hostel is designed for groups who want to stay together while still having privacy. It features four private en-suite bedrooms, each with its own exterior entrance, making it a great setup for multiple families, friend groups, or retreat guests.

At the center of the home is an open-concept common area with a full kitchen, dining space, and comfortable seating areas designed for gathering, conversation, and shared meals. Just outside, guests can enjoy a covered patio surrounded by forest and a private hot tub perfect for relaxing after a day exploring the mountains.

The Hostel is one of three homes located on the Hideaway Point property, along with The Hideout and The Holiday House. The homes are thoughtfully spaced for privacy while still sharing the peaceful atmosphere of the property.

Our onsite groundskeeper, Sarah, lives in a private apartment attached to The Holiday House. She helps care for the property year-round and is a great local resource for guests. Sarah shares the property with two friendly Labrador retrievers and a few interesting aquarium pets.

A few helpful things to note:

• Easy year-round access via a maintained gravel road
• Ample onsite parking for groups
• Private exterior entrances for each bedroom
• Fully equipped kitchen for group meals
• Hot tub and covered outdoor gathering space
