Beautiful Log Home in the Smoky Mountains close to EVERYTHING!
4800sq ft log home on a beautiful 2 acre lot in Tobacco Branch Village! Big open floor plan with large kitchen, dining, and family room. Just added a huge playroom/2nd family room with shuffleboard table and arcade games. Whiskey Barrel table and chairs for more dining , more comfy couches and tv. Great for relaxing, or playing cards or games…. Upstairs has 2 very large bedrooms, a bathroom, and loft/office area with a brand new Queen sofa bed. All mattresses and most furniture are brand new. Also has a large fire pit area to make smore's or just sit around and enjoy the beauty that surrounds you! There is a small fishing/swimming spring fed lake right down the road from the house in the community also. This is a very friendly community,, that is very private yet close to all kinds of fun things to do. The NOC "Nantahala Outdoor Center is about 15 minutes away where you can go white water rafting, zip lining, kayaking, or just sit and enjoy watching all the action. There are also numerous restaurants, and The Harrah's Casino in Cherokee is about 20 minutes from the house. It also offers a Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, Guy Ferrari’s and a Brio Restaurant and other restaurants inside the Casino. There is boat rentals on Lake Fontana 5 minutes down the road. Mountain biking at Tsali Trails is 5 mins away. Bryson City is only 15 minutes away and has numerous shops, restaurants, breweries, Darnell Farms, and the train to enjoy also. There is also tubing down the rapids which is a blast! There is also the Smoky Mountain Railroad if you're interested in a train ride. Unplugged is a fun place on the weekends they offer live music, Anthony's is great for pizza, and if you're in the mood for Mexican, 4 Queens is the place! Ingles is the grocery store in town and will have everything you need. We also have a Dollar General less than 10 mins from the house for essentials or a last minute snack. I've been coming here since I was a child and I'm 60 now. This is the best getaway to make awesome family memories and most of all get away from the hustle and bustle of the city life and just RELAX!! This is our 2nd home not just a rental. It feels like you are home here... Very well appointed with EVERYTHING you need to be comfortable! If there is work involved, there are 2 offices where you can set up and have your workspace also. Our flat, very large driveway will fit numerous cars, or a trailer for your bikes. Very easy access in and out. I am available for any questions you may have as far as restaurants, or things to do and where. I hope you will make lots of great memories like we have while staying at The Sansquatch Inn!!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area.

Beautiful property
Beautiful property in quaint little neighborhood. Top quality furnishings, wonderful kitchen. Great for a large group but only issue maybe parking. Very limited if you are a motorcycle group like us that may have trailers. Driveway would hold I believe 6 cars. Otherwise one of the nicest you will find.

Lovely Property
Great location and wonderful property! The house is absolutely beautiful and the community property was a bonus. My family played bucket golf and visited local attractions. The game room was a hit and my grown children made s’mores by the fire pit. We had an awesome Christmas vacation.

Charming Log Cabin
Our family enjoyed 3 nights at this charming log cabin set back in a quaint mountain community. Easily located to activities in Bryson City & Cherokee. Very clean and spacious. Had a few questions and communicated efficiently with the owners. House is stocked with everything you would need in the kitchen. Will stay here again!

Beautiful and Relaxing
Everything about this property is magic, from location to amenities. We used our time together in a beautiful location to regroup before everyone headed back to school and it was perfect. From breakfasts on on back porch to watching sunrises on the front porch, card games, and walks to the lake we had a great time. Great location in proximity to Bryson City and some fun water activities at Fontana Lake. Owners were generous with their time and help with securing the property and with communication for check ins and small things like telling us where to grocery shop! Perfect getaway!
