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.

We loved Sophie's Choice lodge, we felt like home! Everything is very clean, cozy and organized! Loved the porch swing, we stayed only one night and I wish we had more time to stay and enjoy this home and the beautiful surroundings! We will definitely love to come back and stay here again! We got lost 😅, for some reason gps took me to a very different place and when I texted they responded very quickly even though it was very late. They call us and were very patient with us! I definitely recommend you to stay with them! Stay here is worth every penny in all aspects! Very peaceful place!

This was a perfect place for my family of 6! Spacious home within a short drive to area attractions. Cabin has everything you need for your stay. Host was quick to respond with any questions we had and checked on us during our stay. Would recommend for any large family with kids.

Our group of 10 enjoyed the cabin so much! It was perfect for 2 families. We enjoyed the hot tub, the porch, fire pit and pool table! It made our time at the cabin even more restful and full of great quality time! Also, we had originally reserved another property for our trip and upon arrival the reservation fell through. I was grateful to Sue for her immediate and fast communication to let us rent her place asap and had no trouble whatsoever! Thanks for saving the day!

Although we wish the TVs were a bit bigger (lol!), the place is an absolute retreat!! We enjoyed every second staying here. We got plenty of use out of the centralized pool table, enjoyed the hot tub, did some laundry, and went on some AMAZING local adventures. If you have the opportunity to stay here, DO IT!

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.
