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.



Getting around: Driving is our recommendation. Biking and walking to town are options. Be aware that there are not sidewalks between the house and town. However, people do walk this section along the side of the road. Traffic can be heavy along this stretch of road and the side of the road isn't well maintained.



1. There is gravel parking for two Standard sized car. One beside of the house and one in front of the house. No trailers allowed.

2. We do allow dogs for a fee. 2 dogs up to 50lbs each maximum. Please read and adhere to our pet rules while staying in our house. Once you add your dog(s) to the guest count, the pet fee will be displayed in the summary of charges. We have strick pet rules: No dogs on the furniture/bed(s) for any reason. No dogs running loose on our property. Pickup dog waste. Hair found on furniture or in linens will incur an addition charge beyond the pet fee.

3. The house has a full kitchen and almost everything you would need to prepare any meal. However, the kitchen is not stocked with condiments or supplies with the exception of a few spices and salt and pepper.

4. The sofa converts into a sleeper. It works well for 2 children or 1 adult.

5. There are two other vacation rental dwellings on this property. Each house has its own private outdoor space.

6. The Great Smoky Mountains railway runs in front of the property. This is a scenic tourist train that runs during the day/evening/early night and is a big reason why people visit Bryson City. It does not run during the night when people generally are sleeping.

Time flies is a beautiful vacation spot, with a view of the river right from the porch and nightlife right down the street it was the perfect getaway for my husband and I. The hot tub was relaxing and to be so close to the downtown area, night time was quiet and tranquil. I will definitely be booking this property again

Very nice. Easy to find, close to town and great view of the river. Quite place with plenty room. Bed was comfortable. Nice landscape with plenty hummingbird flowers and hummingbirds were present and feeding. All amenities were functional and clean. The cleaning crew do a good job keeping the property. I can't wait to return again soon!! I have found my new favorite place for a getaway. This was my third trip to Bryson City.

It was tbe perfect stay for a quick visit to the Polar Express! Easy check-in process and the home was just as described. We didn't stay long enough to use the kitchen or hot tub, but I wish we had. It is the cutest place on the river and with plenty of privacy! We would definitely stay again if we make our way back up to this area!

Everything was great. Exactly what I expected, from the online listing. The place was perfectly clean. The communications we received regarding check in etc were thorough and extremely easy to understand. The location was great! Very secluded and also very easy and quick to get to town—we walked a couple times. There is easy access to the river to fish. The hot tub was great. It was a nice ending to a long day of hiking.
