Neighborhood

Sophie's Choice Cabin rests at the end of a private road on 5.6 wooded acres. You pass other houses getting to the cabin but it is very private and secluded once there. There is a seasonal long range mountain view. The cabin is very close to town, the grocery store, the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, and the Polar Express train depot. The town of Bryson City just continues to get more and more like a Hallmark movie! It's small town feel with quaint boutiques, breweries, and restaurants surrounded by mountains and the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad makes you feel right at home with its Southern Charm. The spring and summer months bring festivals and numerous outdoor activities, the fall foliage is magnificent, and the winter brings us The Polar Express and snow skiing at Cataloochee Resort. Harrah's Casino offers fabulous dining and entertainment opportunities. So much to do...Boat Rentals. Rafting. Tubing. Hiking. Biking. Exploring.

Guest Access

Guests have full access to the entire Sophie's Choice property, including the surrounding woods, perfect for exploring and enjoying nature. Feel free to roam the grounds and make the most of your stay in this peaceful retreat!

The cabin was even more beautiful upon arrival than the pictures show! We had the best stay, and love the layout of the cabin for our little family reunion. The proximity to Bryson City was so convenient! Was also impressed with the maintenance of the cabin, and how clean it was both on the outside, and inside. This cabin was exactly what we were hoping for our special weekend family getaway! We fell in love with the town of Bryson City, and had the best afternoon renting tubes from Deep Creek to float down the river. We had the best weekend, and can’t wait to come back. We will definitely book this cabin again for future stays!

The location is fantastic! It is on a country mountain road with some of it being gravel, but don't let that dissuade you from choosing this cabin. It is an absolute gem!

Plenty of room for parking at the cabin in a flat area. The road to the cabin is maintained regularly. You pass a few houses getting to the cabin at the end of the road where you then have 5.6 private wooded acres to enjoy. If 3 or less cars, it is easy to pull in and turn around in the parking area. If you have more than 3 cars, it is best to back in for an easier exit.
