Rockhouse Bryson City, NC Walk to train and downtown shops and restaurants.

10/10 Excellent
"The house is great! There is plenty of room and the kitchen is well stocked for meal preparations. The only complaint I have is the lack of a Keurig coffee maker in this day and age. (We realized from looking at the photos that we would need to bring our own.)It’s a very easy walk from the house to downtown so you do t need to use your car. We walked it during the day and walked back home both nights we were there with no issues. We would definitely stay again if we return again to do the Polar Express train ride.We had a five year old with us and she really enjoyed the toys and games we found at the house as well."
