4 Bedroom House in Cherokee, Bryson City

The Little Gem Cottage is an adorable, cozy farmhouse a mere 150-yards from the southern boundary of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. The Little Gem Cottage -- on four acres --is located just minutes from the Deep Creek Recreation Area park entrance, and within walking distance to the trails of the Smoky Mountains. We're close to hiking, tubing, fishing, Fontana Lake, white water rafting, the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad, and minutes from quaint Bryson City itself. Nearby there is so much to do -- golfing, ziplining, gem mining and swimming in nearby lakes and creeks.
The farmhouse is quiet, where deer and all sorts of wildlife are regularly seen from the kitchen window. The farmhouse and all of its charm -- from the well-appointed cottage kitchen with an original stone fireplace to the quaint second-floor loft and sitting area -- is surrounded by lush trees and vegetation, making it feel like visitors are in the trees. Each season, the gorgeous property surrounded by wildflowers that put on a spectacle. With expansive back decks and a quaint front porch, our guests have a front-row view of Mother Nature and its peace and beauty in one of the nation's most popular National Parks.
The property consists of two separate residences -- the Cottage and the Firefly Cabin, each of which must be booked separately.
The Cottage can host 9 guests with a spacious master bedroom, a loft area that has a queen bed and its own sitting room, and a bunk room that sleeps four on twin beds. It has an open floor plan that allows for family gatherings and game nights. It is the perfect location for groups or families to enjoy the mountains and get outdoors. In addition, we have a rambling creek, a fire pit, and, of course, the trailheads of the national park are within walking distance. You can literally wake up and hit the trails without getting into a car. With the Smokies as our backyard, the Little Gem is a perfect launching point for all activities in "The Gateway to the Smokies" region.
The Cottage also has an expansive kitchen with an island for gathering and has all of the amenities of a modern kitchen. We provide additional tools for meals locally sourced, including a slow cooker and all manner of bakeware and cooking essentials.
The second property on site is the Firefly Cabin ( VRBO ID 3400382) which sleeps 4, but is located within its own lush clearing and is privately situated away from the main house. creating maximum privacy for both properties. To book both the Little Gem and the Firefly Cabin together, simply reach out to us for discounted pricing and availability.

Summary: We loved this house for our family’s Thanksgiving! It was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed. We hiked in the park behind the house, which was great. Our family members stayed at the owners other listing, which was perfect. We were together but had our own space. Lovely home and lovely owners!

Summary: Bubba and Alina have a wonderful place right next to the national park. Their home is unique, great for families, and close to Bryson City. My family especially enjoyed easy access to Deep Creek and the great hiking and fishing opportunities. They are very thoughtful and have done a great job with the property. Don't think twice about staying at the Little Gen if you're planning to stay in the area!

Summary: This was the perfect Thanksgiving mountain getaway for my husband and I, our two teenage boys, and their two grandmas. The house was a lovely renovated farmhouse… all the history with any modern convenience you could need. Alina and Bubba were available to answer any of our questions (even with our super late-night arrival!). The house is also perfectly situated between Bryson City and Cherokee. And literally walking distance to the National park. The wifi was a bit slow as can be expected with a remote getaway, but allowed us several intense family games of scrabble. Our family highly recommends!
