Lovely little place. Close to town but the hill is a bit steep for us to walk. Good shower and comfortable beds. The host is very responsive.

Cozy Stay with a View
Wonderful place! It was clean, cozy, nicely decorated with comfortable beds and pillows! The living area had plenty of space for our family of 4 and was comfortable to relax in at the end of the day. Little thoughtful touches within the home. Awesome view of downtown Bryson City. Location was perfect, 2-3min drive from main downtown street. Only used the microwave and toaster for whatever food we ate in and that worked perfectly fine. Definitely recommend this place!

Great time in the mountains!
We enjoyed our stay at BC overlook. I was very pleased with how clean it was and the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed Great Smokey Mountains National Park and rose GSMR’s Polar Express and had a blast! I would love to come back possibly for an anniversary weekend without the kids so my husband and I could explore more.

Perfect for our Polar Express ride
Everything was great at BC Overlook. We could watch the train coming and going which was a big treat for our granddaughter. The beds were comfy, too! Great location and just right for our party of three. A little too far for us to walk to downtown, especially in the dark and coming home, as it is all uphill. Lots of parking downtown so we were good.

Charming!
I stayed four nights and it was a wonderful experience. The duplex was comfortable, clean, and quiet. The view from the deck is beautiful. All communication with the property owner was helpful, and I appreciated their quick replies to any questions I had. I would definitely stay there again.
