About this place

Downtown Gem. Hot Tub. Walk Everywhere. Train & Mountain View. Near Nat'l Park Entrance. Pet-Friendly. Modern Luxury.

✨ Walk to everything in Bryson City! ✨
Welcome to Urban Retreat, your stylish downtown escape where mountain charm meets modern comfort. Perfectly located across from Bryson City Brewing and the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad depot (Polar Express), this home lets you soak up small-town energy while keeping mountain views and relaxation at your fingertips.

Unwind in the private hot tub, play cornhole under twinkling string lights, or cozy up inside with Smart TVs in the living room and every bedroom. With space for 8 guests, a dreamy kids’ bunkroom, and a fully fenced backyard for pets, this home is designed for family fun, friends’ getaways, and couples’ weekends alike.

Whether you’re here for hiking, brewery-hopping, the Polar Express, or simply stargazing from the hot tub, you’ll love that everything Bryson City has to offer is right outside your door.

❤️ WHY YOU'LL LOVE STAYING HERE
Urban Retreat isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience in the heart of Bryson City. You’ll wake up to surrounding mountain views, sip your morning coffee while watching the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad roll by, and wind down in the hot tub under twinkling string lights in your private backyard. The location couldn’t be better: step outside and walk to local breweries, coffee shops, restaurants, and unique boutiques without ever needing your car. Families love the bunkroom with built-in TVs and privacy curtains (creating the perfect kids' hideout), while couples enjoy the spacious primary suite and luxurious bathroom. With a fenced yard for your furry friend, games for every age, and the Smoky Mountain National Park just minutes away, this home is the perfect mix of small-town charm, modern comfort, and outdoor adventure.
