5 Min to Polar Express - Rare Weekend Open! Luxe Cabin + Train Bunks

Gather your favorite people and make the holidays magical at Enchanted Hollow, a luxury mountain cabin just 5 minutes from the Polar Express and downtown Bryson City. Cook a full Thanksgiving or Christmas feast in the chef’s kitchen, share stories by the cowboy cauldron firepit, and soak under the stars in the hot tub. With king, queen, and flex rooms plus custom train bunks in the theater/arcade lounge, it’s designed for family connection and cozy mountain memories.

Wake up to mountain views and sunrise coffee on the upper deck, then head into town for festive fun, hiking, or a ride on the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad. Back home, unwind in the hot tub or gather in The Enchanted Commons, a theater and arcade room with a poker table, games, and custom-built train bunks kids love. Every detail at Enchanted Hollow was designed to inspire connection, laughter, and make memories you will never forget.

Absolutely perfect cabin with everything you could ever want for a great mountain vacation. Plenty for kids to do, easy drive up, close to Bryson City and Cherokee, and wonderful view of the mountains. Owners were very responsive and easy to deal with. Will definitely be back.
