Greybeard hopes you’ll find the website even more user-friendly than before, and our Realtors are standing by to provide individualized assistance when requested. Be sure to keep checking out the webpages some of our individual Realtors have put together, which will soon be accessible from the Greybeard Realtors’ webpage.

All aboard the Polar Express in Bryson City, NC!  Located about an hour from Asheville, the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad offers daily excursions with a chance to experience the magic of Santa and the North Pole. It’s one of the many western NC activities to experience during the winter holiday season.

Great Smoky Mountains Railroad operates year-round with excursions along the Nantahala Gorge and the Tuckasegee River as well as an adult-only Carolina Shine Moonshine Experience. During the Christmas season, however, the train welcomes passengers on board to hear and experience the Polar Express. Sit back and listen as the story unfolds, sip hot chocolate and enjoy a treat, and then welcome Santa on board. Each child receives his or her own sliver sleigh bell, just like in the book. On the return trip to Bryson City, join in the Christmas caroling and relish in the special memories that have been created by this magical train ride.
