MOUNTAIN CABIN, VIEWS, HOT TUB, FIRE PIT

Welcome to October Sky!

Situated on 2 acres, in the Nantahala National Forest, October Sky is the perfect getaway to disconnect and take in the breathtaking views of the Great Smoky Mountains. As soon as you pull into the gravel driveway are greeted by the large two-level cabin and the spectacular views beyond. Amenities include a hot tub, fire pit, pool table, darts, foosball, WiFi, smart TVs, etc. Nantahala Outdoor Center, whitewater rafting, & great restaurants are just a short drive away.

Exterior:
Wide enough for most vehicles, the gravel parking area surrounding the cabin makes egress easy. As you approach the cabin you will see that the front porch is just one step up from the gravel drive allowing you to bring your bags in with ease. When you arrive at the front door you are welcomed by two Adirondack chairs, perfect for enjoying a quiet evening in or enjoying the view. Behind the split rail fence, you will notice the fire pit – the ideal spot for watching the stars fill the sky over the mountain tops and cozying up with your favorite hot beverage in the colder months. At the far end of the front porch sits the best way to relax and unwind: the outdoor hot tub. The second-level deck features additional Adirondack chairs perfect for taking in the scenic views during the day, and star-filled skies in the evening.

Entry-level:
Upon entering the foyer, you are greeted with natural wood and views into the open concept kitchen. Past the foyer, you enter the living room which features leather sofas, a gas fireplace, and a smart tv. Past the living room, you enter the fully stocked kitchen with a dishwasher to make clean-up a breeze. The door to the left of the kitchen leads to the master bedroom. Natural wood tones and picturesque mountain views surround king size bed. The master bedroom has a full private bath and gas fireplace. The cabin also features floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the cabin with light, with outward-facing scenic views of the mountain and beyond.

Loft:
The spiral staircase in the living room beckons you upstairs to the loft and game area. When you arrive on the landing you will see a foosball table and to the right a futon with a bunk bed combo perfect for kids and adults alike. The game room continues to the left of the stairs where you will find a regulation-sized pool table and dartboard. A large sofa offers seating to watch a competitive game of pool or relax and admire the view. To the right of the pool table, you will find an additional full-sized bathroom.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

We enjoyed our time at the cabin and it was nice to walk the gravel roads. It is up in the mountains. You will need to travel on a dirt road for a while, but the directions were easy to follow on Google Maps. The cabin is deep into the woods and has a beautiful view of the mountains around it.The house is nice and has a lot of space if you have a small family. The interior of the house is older and worn down.Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

This is a perfect cabin for a stay in family bonding vacation. There are many board games and table games to play. The kitchen has the basics. If you are cooking for a larger family i would recommend to bring your own pots or pans. They have some but are just on the smaller size.

Nice cabin and location but light bulbs out in both bathrooms, no gas in the gas grill, no dressers or vanities in the bathrooms, no closets, no hangers, so basically no where to but your stuff, hot tube was very cloudy, upstairs shower didn't drain. Thought host would try to make it right, but didn't. Pool table felt was stained and ripped in a few places.

Great Cabin

Overall, cabin was great. Had one issue with the hot tub being dirty but was addressed fairly quickly and someone came out to clean it. Great view and the rest of the cabin was very clean. I would suggest that curtains or blinds be put up in the master bedroom. Not a lot of privacy if someone is outside.

We had a great time at this property. We don’t do a lotta VRBOs, so didn’t know garbage bags and dish detergent for dishwasher are a must. Bring them here. This property is not near grocery stores, so come prepared. Also, wood. You wanna burn a fire? There is a gas station a mile down the road from NOC. You can buy cheap wood there. The NOC wood is way more expensive. The hot tub, the log cabin and all the scenery make this an ideal property. Great beds, great kitchen, great entertainment in house (ie. dart board, pool table, foos ball). We absolutely loved it as did the kids!

For the most part the stay was great. Two things to point out: The digital door lock issues was a pain and the access key lock code ,459, did not open the lock. Second, there is no street sign for Taylor Rd. And mentioning the church would have been helpful.

The cabin was nice. It was not convenient to shopping and restaurants. The road going into cabin did not have road signs and gps did not work going up. Thankfully a local gentleman stopped and helped us up to the cabin. When we arrived the code to open the door that was sent to us did not work. Called owner twice before we were able to get in. Will not be going back to this cabin. G

Small cabin of horror

The property needs TLC, upgrades to bed, and lamps are falling apart. The ceiling fan did not work. The shower had mold and decaying grout. The jacuzzi was filty, it had black sludge floating and stuck to the bottom of the floor. The curtains are ripped possibly from the sun. The deck had spiderwebs and major insects on all over. The fencing that surrounds the front was busted and on the ground. There were black snakes every afternoon near my vehicle. The persons before me, must of had a dog, because there was dog hair all over my clothes but mostly the floors. The cleaning person was there still and I arrived only twenty minutes early since check in is at 4:00, I previously requested an early arrival but of course you cannot reach the host. I notified the host of my complaint but he just ignored it and responded with giving me directives to clean up for the next person.

This is a nice location that is secluded with a beautiful view. Unfortunately some of the amenities were not available (propane out, issues with check in where code was not correct, fence/chair broken) or conditions were not up to listing standard (hot tub was full of hair and debris, pool table had multiple rips, drain issues with upstairs bathroom). Overall, the house was decent but I wouldn’t describe as luxury. We enjoyed the location, space, and attractions nearby.

Our family really enjoyed this beautiful property while visiting Bryson City. We chose it because of its proximity to Nantahala Outdoor Center (NOC) but it also offered a loft with games for the kids, a hot tub and a stunning view of the mountains. The cabin was clean and well stocked. The host was responsive to our messages/inquiries and everything went smoothly once we arrived. One suggestion for future travelers, enter the location coordinates into GPS to navigate to the property, print or take screenshots incase you lose internet connection. That cabin was only 14 minutes from NOC but you do have to traverse narrow roads that lead to gravel as you approach the cabin. It is quite isolated but very nice and more than worth the drive. We would stay here again and recommend highly.

A couple issues but a nice stay. FANTASTIC VIEWS!

We arrived not too long before sunset when the sun was hitting the mountains just right. That was a million dollar view for sure. The drive up wasn't too bad. DO NOT use Google. Use Solomon's directions and after the first time, you won't need them at all. Since the first road is just across from the NOC you will cross the Appalachian Trail every time so if you want to log some time on the AT it's right there. The property was exactly as stated and was well stocked with everything you need. A note to all renters everywhere: If you use up the propane tank on the grill, please let the property owner know instead of letting the next person find out. We replaced it and Solomon made it right immediately. The previous renter left us scrambling to find other dinner plans the first night. The only big issue we had was that the hot tub was out of commission our entire stay. Repairs were attempted but not successful due to much deeper issues. Solomon tried his best and we still made the best of it. The bed was fantastic, the furniture very comfortable, the downstairs shower was NICE. We didn't use the pool table or anything else upstairs much. One thing to know, the TV is all streaming and the internet can be a little slow so be prepared to adapt. Small thanks for previous renters who stayed logged in to some streaming services. :) It's a great place and when everything is up and running you won't be disappointed in October Sky.

Awesome Cabin

Our family had the best time at the October Sky cabin. It was very clean and had everything we needed. Solomon was a wonderful property manager and even gave us recommendations on things to do and checked on us during our stay. The views of the mountains were awesome and there were so many things to do within a short driving distance.

Serene beauty!

I booked the cabin for a mother/daughter trip. We love being in nature. The cabin was serene, surrounded by trees, and had the most breathtaking view of the mountains beyond. The cabin is spacious, yet cozy. It was perfectly clean and comfortable. We had all we needed when we returned from rafting the Nantahala, hiking, and visiting Bryson City, and Cherokee. We never wanted to leave!
