Creekfront Retreat • Hot Tub • Pool Table • Near Town/National Park • Rejuvenate

At Water’s Edge, life slows down in the best way. Nestled directly on Deep Creek, you’ll wake up to the peaceful sound of water. Spend your days tubing, fishing, or exploring the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, then come home to a relaxing soak in the hot tub or a friendly game of pool. With plenty of space for families and friends, cozy gathering areas, and a location just minutes from downtown Bryson City, this cabin makes the perfect balance of mountain adventure and laid-back comfort.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE STAYING HERE
At Water’s Edge, the mountain air is fresher, the stars shine brighter, and the sound of rushing water becomes the soundtrack to your stay. Wake up to coffee on the porch swing as the creek flows just steps away, spend the day tubing, fishing, or exploring the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and wind down with a soak in the hot tub or s’mores around the fire pit. Inside, there’s room for everyone to spread out and relax (people and furry friends alike), with cozy gathering spaces, a pool table, and Smart TVs for family movie nights. Just minutes from downtown Bryson City, you’ll have restaurants, shops, and breweries at your fingertips—yet your private Deep Creek home still feels like its own secluded world. Families, couples, and friends return year after year to this special spot where adventure and relaxation meet.

We stayed here for a long weekend getaway. We were so impressed with the organization and how well the house was stocked. We didn’t have to run out to the grocery store 100 times for all the little things. There was enough things to do for everyone - from the 2 year old to the 70 year old. This is a great place to stay in Bryson City!

Wonderful time on Deep Creek

2 families with 4 sons ages (22-17). Great location- close to Bryson & Cherokee for meals & shopping. Enjoyed tubing, hiking and white water rafting. Boys played billiards everyday, we had nice fires and sat at the water’s edge. Highly recommend staying here.

This trip was amazing! The house was so clean and accommodating. The owners were easy to get ahold of and were so nice when we couldn't figure out the tv. We always stay on the river when we come to the mountains and this place was perfect for our family. We will definitely be staying here again.

Family Gathering by the Creek

Thoughtfully designed and furnished cabin on Deep Creek, just minutes from downtown Bryson City and the Smoky Mountain National Park. My husband and I stayed with our daughter and son-in-law for a long weekend. We had our son and his family in for a family meal and football watching. Perfect location for a multi-generational family gathering.

Edge of Great Smokies

Initial plans for party of six reduced to four. First, the house is at the base of the GSMNP and the Deep Creek Trail which was fantastic. Great layout, highly functional and spacious. Well designed kitchen, very well stocked. Pool table excellent use of space and thoroughly enjoyed. The back covered porch overlooking Deep Creek was comfortable and very relaxing. Likewise for the fire pit. Although adjacent houses, the positioning of the house limits exposure and affords a private retreat. The hosts were fantastic and near-immediate in response. We opted for the firewood bundle which was perfect for 3 nights of fires.

Extremely enjoyable

Our host were the best. Home was extremely clean and our host thought of every comfort. They splurged on all the comforts of home. From the well stocked kitchen with every appliance and utensil to the comfy beds and comforters, to the board games and more for the kids. The creek sounds are amazing. We found a free app called Merlin Bird ID. It identified 15 different bird chirps and songs one morning while we enjoyed our coffee and breakfast on the private deck. Excellent location to enjoy all that Bryson has to offer. We couldn't have asked for a better home and host and we so hope they invite us back.

Wonderful Cabin!

Water's Edge was a beautiful house just perfect for our family! It was comfortable and spacious and met the needs of all of our family, ages 2-68! We enjoyed making smores by the fire pit and even spent some time in the hot tub. The location is so convenient to town and the creek makes the view incredible especially at night with the moon glistening off of it! We loved our time there and certainly hope to visit again!

Wonderful Stay!

We met up with another family and had a wonderful stay. The house worked well for our group and was comfortable. We have stayed at a lot of vacation rentals and with the river view, fire pit area, and large porch, it was probably the best outdoor space of any house. The location is also very convenient to Bryson City. We had one minor issue at the beginning of our stay and the owners were extremely responsive and took care of it right away. They also provided all of the info we needed before and during our stay. The property and its owners made this an amazing trip!
