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!

Perfection

This was our first trip to Bryson City and we could not have stayed at a more perfect place. After sightseeing everyday, we made a point to make sure we were back at the cabin early enough to enjoy everything it offered. We loved the foosball and arcade tables (we got to act like kids again at 53 & 55 years of age) - the firepit and hot tub were the exclamation point at the end of the day after riding and hiking all day. We will definitely be back and will definitely be recommending to all of our family and friends.

Great cabin in the woods!

We had our honeymoon here and did 4 days of NOC kayak school. This location was great to get to both sides of the state. We loved sitting in the hot tub at night under the stars and watching the deer and ground hogs come out. We knew we would heard the cars but didn’t seem to bother us plenty of time for quietness. We will be back to stay there. Loved 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.

Traffic

The cabin itself was quite beautiful. Hot tub was great. We enjoyed our stay there. However, the noise from the road below was awful. It made relaxing on the deck difficult. The traffic seems to go on no matter what time of the day.

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.

Anniversary getaway

My husband I stayed here to celebrate our 3rd yr anniversary. The cabin was clean. It had everything we needed to help us relax and enjoy one another. The road to the cabin is small. The drive way is kinda steep. We drove a Jeep Cherokee and was fine. The community was nice and the people were very friendly. Bridget and Tom was very responsive when I reached out to them. The only thing I didn't really like is that you could hear the vehicles passing by when you were sitting in the living room.

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.

Needs a new cleaner but otherwise an OK stay

This review is just about the cabin and the property it sits on. The property is very pretty and we enjoyed sitting outside at times. Inside is also very nice and my wife and I enjoyed the game room very much. This cabin was listed as a "no pets" place and when we got there there was pet hair on the rug and main bedroom where we slept at. The night stand on my side was covered in a white hair that I had to dust off and the sheets had hair in them as well. Since me and my wife are both allergic to pets this was a bigger negative to us but lucky we always carry allergy medicine. The main bed was as hard as a rock but they do have a fold out couch and futon that are softer so do with that information as you will. Lasty there is a hot tube, that we didn't use. The chlorine smell was very strong which I could overlook but there is a spout that shoots out water and when it was idle and no water coming out there was a type of slime coming from that jet. I know this slime since I've had fish tanks before. Lastly and this one was the big reason we didn't get into the hot tube. In one of the bigger jets that is suppose to hit your back, there was a metal rod sticking out of it. I pulled it out and it seem to go to nothing. I left the metal rod on the counter next to the cleaners note. I took pictures of the hair and rod but the review section isn't letting me add them.
