Your Perfect Outdoor Retreat in Western North Carolina (WNC)!

Looking for the ultimate basecamp for your outdoor adventures in WNC? Your search ends here! Nestled within a mile of the perimeter of DuPont State Forest, this charming home offers unparalleled access to nature's wonders.

Adventure at Your Doorstep

Imagine riding your bike to the trails, returning home for a leisurely lunch, then setting off to fish or float along a nearby river. Cap off your day with dinner in Cedar Mountain or Brevard, or simply unwind with a cookout and bonfire under the starry sky.

Convenient Dining Options

Located a short distance from the cabin, you'll find a variety of delights and supplies in the heart of Cedar Mountain. Whether you're craving a farm to table meal at the local cafe, a pint by the river at the Canteen, a tasting of local Moonshine and music, or need to pick up supplies at the outfitters store, it's all just a short stroll or ride away.

Secluded Serenity

Tucked away amidst the trees and mountain laurel, this home offers tranquility and privacy. Once accessible only to select family members, this private community now invites you to experience one of WNC's most beautiful and historic summer retreat locations.

Pet-Friendly Paradise

Bring along your furry companions (1 or 2 dogs allowed with prior approval) to share in the adventure! A fee of $100 is charged per dog and agreement to crate them when no one is home with them, ensuring their safety and your peace of mind. (Sorry, we don't allow cats due to allergies.)

Your Home Away From Home

With a maximum occupancy of four to five persons, this cozy cabin ensures your comfort while maintaining environmental sustainability. Please be mindful that our well and septic system necessitates adherence to this limit (not connected to public services). We have recently upgraded to Fiber Optic Cable based communication services for better internet, TV and phone options.
