🍁 The weather is cool and blue skies on most days! Perfect time for a visit. Completely remodeled 2/2. Our cabin has a beautiful modern design with vaulted ceilings, lots of windows and rustic mountain charm. Very private yet close to everything. It sits on a mountain ridge in the trees with relaxing mountain views!
Our cabin is located at the end of a paved road and although it sits up on a ridge you do not have to endure scary, winding dirt roads to get to it. 5 minutes drive to Cherokee, 10 minutes to Bryson City and the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad or the Famous Blue Ridge Parkway...30 minutes to the top of Clingman's dome in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park or Maggie Valley to tube and ski at Cataloochee!!
Great romantic get away for two or bring the family for fun in the Smoky Mountain National Park just minutes away. Enjoy all kinds of outdoor fun: whitewater rafting, hiking, fishing, boating, waterfalls, ziplining, and horseback riding, wildlife viewing and photography, and scenic drives. Also, small towns with art, crafts days, live music venues, brewing and great food. There are summer music concerts and festivals and quaint mountain towns all around the area. Our cabin has all the comforts of home while retaining that rural NC mountain charm.
Harrah's Cherokee Casino and Concert Hall is just minutes away making our cabin a great affordable stay while still trying your luck at this very popular resort attraction. Top name entertainers and musicians visiting all year!
With 2 queen beds this cabin is perfect for 2-4 people, but could accommodate a couple extra kids willing to sleep in the main living space on the inflatable mattress (you must let us know in advance if you are interested in this option so we can provide additional linens, the mattress, etc. There is a $12/pp/day fee over 4 people). With a full kitchen including dishwasher, you can save money and prepare your own meals or just relax and eat in nearby Cherokee or Bryson City. We have a BBQ and firepit on the property (you supply wood, charcoal, and food) and extra chairs for outdoor use, located in the ground level with the washer and dryer, all available for guests convenience. All consumable products are renters responsibility to bring. There will be a starter amount of paper products/soap for the first day or so. Ingles in Bryson City is where most people do their provisioning. If you are in the area for the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad experience, it is about 15 minutes away. During the winter months, enjoy the Polar Express, family's show up in matching pajamas. You might also drive about 45 minutes to Maggie Valley to enjoy downhill snow skiing and tubing too.
During spring, summer, and fall, boating, fishing, waterskiing, kayaking, paddlboarding and tubing at nearby Fontana Lake, Deep Creek, the Oconoluftee River and the Little Tennessee River are favorite past times for our family. Boats can be rented at several nearby marinas including Alarka, and Prince Marinas.
Within a minute of the cabin is the beautiful Oconaluftee River with access points (See Lake Ela Recreation Access Area) for kayaking, tubing, fishing, or picnicking on its banks.
If festivals and shopping are your thing, there are lots of options all around in cute towns like Bryson City, Cherokee, Sylva, Dillsboro, Franklin, Waynesville, and a little further (1 hour) is Asheville!!

This is especially helpful if you plan to leave earlier than the standard checkout time of 10 am.
