You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Real log cabin near Nantahala rafting! Hot tub, easy access, & game room.

Thank you for considering our authentic log cabin for your next getaway!

We are conveniently located 15 minutes from Bryson City and 5 minutes away from the adventures the Nantahala Outdoor Center (NOC) provides, and 30 minutes from the Great Smoky Mountains national park.


~THE SPACE~
This charming 1-2 bedroom cabin includes a King bed in the downstairs bedroom, a full-size log-frame futon in the loft (VERY comfortable!) and a queen size pull-out leather sofa in the living room to comfortably accommodate 4 guests. The master bedroom is the only room that offers complete privacy.
This easily accessible mountain retreat features central heat and AC, a large open space living/dining room with leather sofa, flat-screen smart TV, electric fireplace, WiFi, fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops, large bathroom with a combination clawfoot tub/shower, large master bedroom and a loft area with a game room including a retro style cocktail arcade with 60 classic games and a foosball table.


~THE PROPERTY~
Step outside to enjoy the firepit overlooking the mountain scenery, a babbling creek with small pond and waterfall, lots of land to explore, a gas grill for cookouts and a hot tub to unwind in after your adventurous day. We are located right off the highway, therefore, when you are outside you will hear traffic from the road.

*Please note that our new log cabin, Smoke'n View Cabin (312 Biltmore Cr VRBO propety ID #2769284), is also available for rent further up our 11 acre property, provides spectacular, jaw dropping, views of the Smoky Mountains, Fontana Lake, and the great Smoky Mountain RR to renters!

~THE AREA~
The area has something for everyone (hiking, mountain biking, shopping, zip lining, fishing, golfing, tubing, kayaking, white water rafting, scenic drives….RELAXING)!

We are conveniently located to almost everything in the area - the NOC, Tail of the Dragon (amazing drive, look it up if you are not familiar with it), Bryson City, Cherokee, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Fontana Dam, and more!

Bryson City has been featured by Smithsonian Magazine as one of “20 Best Small Towns to Visit” (2016); one of “20 Best Mountain Towns in America” by Mens Journal (2017); by Backpacker Magazine as one of 12 US “Top Hiker Towns” (2016); and voted by Trip Advisor readers as one of “8 Beautiful Little Lake Towns Across America” (2017).

A 15-minute drive will have you in Bryson City, where you can enjoy shopping, ice cream, homemade chocolates/candies, restaurants (Pasqualino’s has great Italian food), breweries, fishing, tubing, swimming, museums and the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad.

If you prefer something more adventurous bring your mountain bike (or rent one) and enjoy the Tsali Recreation Area, a quick 10-minute drive from the cabin or the Fire Mountain Bike Trail in Cherokee, an easy 30-minute drive away. Not to mention various options for zip lining!

There are plenty of world class white water rafting and kayaking opportunities on the Nantahala River, within 5 minutes of the cabin, or go across the street to the Nantahala Village for horseback riding!

Feeling lucky? Visit the newly renovated Harrah’s Cherokee Casino! While in Cherokee don’t forget to check out the native American museums, dancing and shops!

The place was clean, nice and comfortable but the shower was broken. If you want to take a bath it was fine but if you turn it a shower then half the water would come out the shower head the other half out the tub spout. So the warm water only lasted 5 minutes. The pond in the picture need dug out because its now a mud puddle and the creek is cover in poison ivy and kudzu. But otherwise a great cabin

Perfect for a getaway

Absolutely loved our stay at the cabin. Clean and well kept, it had all the comforts of home while still feeling like we found a private spot in the woods to get away for a while. My wife and I hope to return to the area again soon and will look to book this cabin again.

Wonderful cabin

We stayed on this wonderful little cabin for 6 nights and really enjoyed our time there. The weather decided not to cooperate with our scheduled plans so we spent time just laying around and enjoying the cabin. We played games, grilled, and enjoyed the hot tub. This place had everything we needed and we highly recommend it.

Honeymoon getaway

The cabin was lovely and cozy. We took advantage of all the amenities, really enjoyed the hot tub! The view at the cabin was fantastic and we had fun using the fire pit. The king mattress was very firm, a bit too firm for me. Overall a nice place to call home for a week by GSM National Park and Nantahala National Forest & Gorge.
