    "Bryson City, NC is a great little town in Western North Carolina. The Great Smokey Mountain National Park is very close by and there are plenty of Vacation Cabin Rentals available. The Great Smokey Mountain Railroad runs out of town and there's plenty of First Class Rainbow Trout Fishing available on the Tuckaseegee River. This is a Great place to Retire!"

    "Deep Creek Community, where this lot is located, has its own community pool, basketball courts, tennis courts and nearby is the entrance to the Great Smoky National Park with hiking trails, tubing, fishing, horseback ridge. Nearby is Cherokee with Harrah's casino, and many golf courses in the area. Asheville is 1 hr. east. The Great Smoky Mountain Railroad is nearby for family fun. The schools are excellent and there's a hospital in town, two miles away. "
