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.

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.

This was such a nice place to stay! It was incredibly clean and had an amazing view. The bed was also super comfortable! The location is a huge plus! We will be recommending to friends and will stay here again!
Location has a view of the river and is very close to the charming down town of Bryson City. It was perfect for me and my wife and is a great spot for a getaway. Overall I would definately stay here again!
This little house is a few yards from a river , but the inside of this little house/cabin is fully modernized, king size bed , soo comfortable u wont want to get out, owners are so awesome, very quite but minutes from downtown Bryson, the driveway is tricky but the info they inform with gives u a heads up. Loved the stay will do again👍
We had a nice stay. The space was adequate for two adults and a small dog. We enjoyed the view of the river from the porch, as well as the proximity to town. We would rent again.
We stayed for 2 nights when we visited for our Polar Express ride. The kids loved being able to see the train, wave to the riders and they even got to see Santa from the porch! We love staying in unique properties and this was one of the best!
Cool place. Very clean and up to date. Just the right amount of seclusion but still very close to the town and things to do, especially the Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrance and tubing.
We were there to fly fish. Our guide picked us up right in front of the cabin, and that’s where we ended our day in the river. Extremely convenient.
In fact Bryson City is so compact that it’s convenient to anything in town.
Great location, great spot to stay
Easy location for the Smokey mountain railroad. Host was wonderful and helpful. Property is super clean.
You will hear the train running right in front of the house, but a sound machine for our little one plus exhaustion from the polar express did the trick.
It was a really unique place… Love being on the river and quirky with the railroad track right in front, but we didn’t hear any trains. Everything we needed and was clean and appeared newly renovated. Would highly recommend.
The perfect spot for our family! Impressed with how well this house was stocked with necessities. All you need to bring are your clothes 😊

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
Very well stocked and the exterior and interior design was very pleasant. I liked the location on the river, close to Bryson City but felt private and remote. Important areas (bath, kitchen, sheets) were clean but as I often find most of the light fixtures and bulbs needed dusted as well as under the bed. Only stayed one night but will probably plan another longer stay in the future.
River's Edge was just the rigjt size for the two of us. Everything was so clean and well furnished for a quick getaway. I loved the information binder and the labels in various places that made things easier to understand. I would definitely recommend this unit.
My first impression was that the place felt very clean. I enjoyed coming back to rest here after a couple long days of hiking. I had everything i needed including a comfortable bed, full kitchen and wifi. I also really enjoyed the views of the river. Check-out instructions were clear and simple. I would definitely rent here again!
Our stay at River's Edge surpassed our expectations! The view of the river is spectacular, the location is very close to town and if your adventurous, you could probably walk to town. Property was clean and well maintained. The bed is VERY soft but that's just a personal preference. Communication with owner was quick and answered all my questions. All in all, a great place to stay in Bryson City and would stay again.
We loved the house and thought the decorating was really cute. Just enough room in living area for our dog crate/not sure if a large one would have fit very good. Had a wonderful time enjoying Bryson (train ride) and would absolutely recommend staying at River Edge. Thank you so much and my dog was so grateful to be able to come with us.
This was the perfect place to stay in Bryson City. We’ve stayed in several areas here. We will stay again but might try to get the one next door with hot tub. Impressed with interior and all it had. We walked down to river and relaxed in floats and enjoyed the train going by and just walking around. Thank you for providing a wonderful place for just the 2 of us. Ladies staying g next door really night We just felt bad for the family who suffered the loss from that awful fire on Thursday night. It was quite a site from our viewpoint.
Very nice stay for the price, we had a few issues with living room AC being leaky but my boyfriend used to work with those units so it was fine. About an hour drive to any given trail in the Smokies and very close to town without feeling like you’re smothered with other tourists. Washer/dryer provided and plenty of towels! If you have severe pet allergies bring a few Zyrtec to sleep and you'll be perfectly fine, there was no visible pet hair but if you're like me the residual pet funk may trigger allergies.
We went just after Helene hit NC. I was nervous about Hurricane damage and accessibility. Hosts were very nice and communicative about conditions in Bryson. We made the trip and had a great time. Everything was as described. The driveway along the tracks startled my wife but no issues after we were used to it. House is charming and small but plenty of room for a couple or small family. Enough different spaces to allow for privacy. Efficient little kitchen. Other houses are close but not on top of you and landscaping allows for privacy.
