The Cullisia cabin was originally constructed in the Laurel community near Marshall, North Carolina around 1892. The LL Merchants Company out of Asheville and the Presbyterians hired Jim Leake and Lump Norton to build the cabin for use as a mission and a doctor's office. All the logs were hand hewn.

To move the cabin, the logs were numbered and taken down one by one. In 2012 we rebuilt the cabin beside a mountain creek on East Cullisia Road in the Alarka community near Bryson City, NC.

We used reclaimed materials for the floor, walls and exterior gable ends. All of the logs and much of the inside paneling is native American Chestnut.

Most of the furniture is hand-made from reclaimed materials, using such old time techniques as mortise and tenoning. The heart pine bead board used in the downstairs bedroom was reclaimed from a one-room schoolhouse in Bryson City.

Rest assured, Cullisia features countless improvements over the original cabin with it's more primitive 'comforts'. The cabin has all the features and amenities for today's lifestyles while preserving the nostalgia of a 19th century mountain homestead.

Cullisia Cabin

A very beautiful cabin. Very homey and comfortable. The cabin was very clean and the amenities were far beyond our expectations. The area was so peaceful. Very little traffic. We enjoyed baby otters playing in the little creek in front of the cabin. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We hope to return to Cullisia Cabin again soon. God bless ~ The Coakers

Family Holiday Weekend

We had a great time at this cabin. My 10 year old loves the outdoors so the cabin gave him many stories to tell of how they probably did things "a long long time ago". Cabin was wonderfully equipped to make our stay enjoyable and cozy.

Cullisia Cabin

Cabin was very quaintl. Downstairs bath was really not for an adult that has some knee problems and could not climb stairs. Also would have like to have know that the grill was not gas, but that’s ok! Overall the cabin had a lot of history and was quite nice
