❤ Cozy Log Cabin w/Stunning View! Waterfall, 3 Fireplaces, Arcade, Stocked!

Whether you are looking for a relaxing escape or a cozy base camp for adventure, this lovingly maintained and cared for log cabin has it all. Enjoy hot coffee on your private balcony attached to the Master suite or enjoy a crackling fire with a nightcap in front of one of your three wood burning fireplaces. Take a hike down the Troll Trail or stride down Fairy Lane to your own outdoor stage area with a large fire pit. Ready for adventure? Pack a water bottle and grab your hiking stick, then follow the nature trail to your own hidden eighteen-foot-tall waterfall and spacious natural swimming area!

Privacy at its finest! Being on 4.5 acres, and adjacent to National Forest Service Land in the heart of the Smoky Mountain wilderness, you'll find yourself surrounded by trees, hummingbirds, and crisp mountain air. The retreat is newly updated and furnished with 3 bedrooms and 2 ½ baths, plus a sleeper sofa in the living room. Each sleeping area comes with a Dohm Sound Conditioner, high thread-count sheets, and the most luxurious mattresses available. Enjoy dinner while listening to the intoxicating sounds of nature on your spacious verandah with teak dining table. A fully enclosed porch surrounded by windows is ideal for keeping cozy on snowy winter nights. The living area welcomes you to relax and read a book, complete a puzzle or unwind with a movie.

Everyone will enjoy the over 4,500 games on the brand-new full size 4 player arcade (multicade). So many games to choose from, including Pac-Man, Frogger, Tetris, Super Mario Brothers, Contra, Joust, Burger Time, Donkey Kong and hundreds of other classics.

Stay active during your mountain getaway with our garage gym featuring a REP Fitness rack, dumbbells, resistance bands, and jump ropes for your strength training sessions.

Challenge family and friends to table tennis matches on our professional folding ping pong table, or gather around our gaming tables for board game nights.

Children are sure to enjoy their adventures acting out plays in front of the mountain carved theater seating or making smores in one of the fireplaces. With 2100 square feet there is space for everyone to find their own book worthy nook.

Continue your adventures nearby, where you will find gem mining, highly rated hiking trails, waterfalls and 5-Star dining on Highlands Plateau, which is an 11-mile drive (20 minutes or longer for people unaccustomed to these winding roads) on North Carolina’s Beautiful Scenic Waterfall Byway, named for the 200 waterfalls surrounding the route.

Nice cabin, very cozy. Definitely has that old 'cabin' feel...3 wood fireplaces, wood floors, fantastic views, etc. Bathrooms and kitchen are a bit dated and need an update. That is really our only complaint.Kids love the grounds, including play area, hike to campfire, hike to waterfall (it's not easy!), garage with ping pong, arcade games, board games and large family table, comfy living room with fireplace and big TV...it really was great for our family of 6 (4 kids).House was very well stocked, clean, and we had a few questions that we immediately got answers to. Lots of cabin info given via message, info book, notes throughout cabin, etc.Be ready for a tough drive up the main Buck Creek road, and then the house driveway...whoa! Definitely do not recommend doing it the first time at night.Drive to Highlands itself has lots of waterfalls, hiking, and sights. Lots of other nice towns to visit and great hiking, including many dog friendly restaurants and trails.Toward Franklin is a Dollar General store about 5 mins away, and 10mins away is a Walmart.

Serene setting with beautiful views from the lower and upper deck. Well shocked home with everything you need for your home away from home. Garage access and fitness equipment a plus. Conveniently located to great restaurants, shopping, hiking, and picturesque waterfalls including a waterfall on the property. The hike to the waterfall is quite challenging, but worth it!

This property is AMAZING! There is a private waterfall on property that is incredible- being older was a bit scary hiking down to it but definitely worth the trip. The property managers Sally and Jerry were great and communicated well. The stocked kitchen was an added bonus . There were many thoughtful touches and the binder left for us had so much information about the area with things to see and do. Although the home needs a little TLC, it was wonderful being able to share the week with our two pups. The views from decks were breathtaking! Sunsets were gorgeous! We hope to be back next August!

A Perfect Place

My wife & I celebrated our 29th anniversary. The cabin is spacious and very comfortable. Had everything we needed. The lot is easy to get too and the property and views are terrific. I am 62 and the hike down to the water fall was a little tough on my knees going down but no problem coming back up. The climb is a little steep. The water Fall is amazing and worth the hike.

Senior Ladies Summer Mini-Escape

The cabin was wonderful escape from the heat and humidity of Myrtle Beach! The cabin was cozy and comfortable and the location was perfect - situated in between the towns of Highlands and Franklin. Dry Falls and Bridal Veil Falls were close and accessible. We tried to hike down to the falls on the property, but it was a little too difficult for us (three senior ladies)! We enjoyed shopping and antiquing in the area and we found some great places for dinner. The cabin was well-equipped, with everything you might need. The beds were comfortable, plenty of places to gather and plenty of places to find solitude. This would be an amazing place for families with children, with lots of places to explore around the cabin. The kids (and adults) won't even miss their electronic devices (cell service is sketchy) - a great opportunity to unplug and just enjoy the beauty of nature!I would make one small suggestion: If you plan to gather at the large table in the living room area to play cards, color, crochet or do any crafts that require good lighting, I would bring along a lamp of some type to supplement the lighting in the room. Overall, we LOVED it and were sad to leave after our 3-night stay. We hope to return some day!

Mountain retreat

We loved this place! It was perfect for getting away as a family and had so many activities in and at the cabin itself for our kids. The hike to the waterfall is completely worth it! We loved the privacy and yet it was close enough to several towns to not be an issue for going out to eat or shopping. The cabin itself was beautiful and immaculate. We absolutely plan on coming back.

Waterfall Adventure

What an adventure! The waterfall hike on the property is super cool, and quite a workout for people from flatland. The cabin is comfy and cozy. The kids loved the arcade. The property is on a cliff, and the yard is straight down from the house. It is secluded, so no worries of neighbors looking in, but a bit eerie with no curtains or blinds.

I can’t even describe how amazing this cabin is. It is in a perfect, secluded location making our stay even more relaxing. There was not a dull moment for the kids. They lived the adventures to the waterfalls and hikes around the property. They couldn’t resist a swim in the freezing, November waters of the swimming hole. The cabin was cozy and clean. Supplied with everything we needed. We will definitely be back soon!
