Troutin' About - A cozy cabin on the river!

TROUTIN' ABOUT is a cozy cabin on the Tuckasegee River just one mile from downtown Bryson City. Enjoy gorgeous early morning views from the deck then cast your fishing line without leaving the porch! Bring your kayaks or tubes for a peaceful float down the Tuck or try your hand at fly fishing in this trout-stocked stream. Don't forget to wave to the Smoky Mountain Railroad train as it passes by across the river. Inside the cabin, you will appreciate the high-speed internet with unlimited wi-fi and enjoy the 50 inch Roku TV and cozy (romantic?) glow from the electric fireplace. In the bedroom, you will be comfortable in the queen size bed with plenty of pillows available and another Roku TV. We will provide you with starter toiletries, paper products, and coffee, but for longer stays, you may need to restock. The kitchen is equipped with pots, pans, dishes, coffee maker, toaster, stove/oven, microwave, and full-size fridge so you can eat in (a grocery store is less than a mile away). But, if you choose to go out, downtown Bryson City is five minutes away. Picture Gatlinburg meets Mayberry! A quaint, picturesque town with a stunning mountain backdrop. Stroll the main street to enjoy shops of all kinds, restaurants, soda and ice cream fountains, and of course, the taprooms and breweries featuring locally brewed libations. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy hiking and waterfalls in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, tubing in Deep Creek, world-class whitewater rafting on the Nantahala, and beautiful Fontana Lake all within 20 minutes of the cabin. Feeling lucky? Head over to the casino in Cherokee. Motorcycles? You're not far from the Tail of the Dragon. Maybe the best thing of all ........ absolutely no steep, winding, scary mountain roads to get here!!! FYI ..... Troutin' About is a park model home located in Bearhunter Campground, so you will not be secluded from other people. There are several other similar cabins and RVs on site. You are welcome to take advantage of the picnic tables, rocking chairs, and grills in the common area, as well as nearby river access.
During your stay at this cabin, you're just a quick walk from Nantahala National Forest. The cabin includes amenities such as free WiFi and a kitchen.
  • Air-conditioned cabin with kitchen, washing machine, and fireplace
  • Free WiFi (speed: 100+ Mbps (good for 1–2 people or up to 6 devices))
  • Just a 3-minute drive from Great Smoky Mountains Railroad and 11 minutes from Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Bad luck weekend
My wife and I planned a trip from Oak Island, NC to Bryson City for her birthday. We were to stay at Troutin About from Wed. thru Sunday. Unfortunately our dates corresponded to the disaster known as Hellene. We arrived in the rain on Wed which never stopped and made the rational decision to leave first thing Thursday morning. Our host Samantha couldn't have been more gracious. She was under no obligation to refund our money, but never hesitated. The cabin was spared and is truly a unique place to headquarter while exploring this part of the state. I hope we can return and we will certainly go back to Troutin About.

Perfect Getaway
The communication between us and the host was top notch. Had an issue after checking in and the host was on top of it. The cabin was clean. Neighbors are close but everyone kept to themselves and it was quiet. Sitting on the back porch is very relaxing and the view is breathtaking.

Vacation in a Parking Lot
Surroundings were just terrible. Cabin was tiny and crowded into an unattractive trailer park off a Main Street. No lawn or other property. If you are looking to enjoy nature in the North Carolina hills this is not where you want to stay. We turned right around and checked into a motel.

Great stay!
We stayed over new year’s with our 5 year old and had a wonderful time. The cabin had everything we needed and was cozy and warm. It was fun seeing trains go by at night and reflect on the river. Super close to the downtown area and the polar express. We will definitely return!

Cottage was cute and scenic but thecouch and mattress were worn out. We made the most of our stay until I was robbed then I had my doubts about the location. The police department warned me about the homeless people and I will not be returning to that area
