Beautiful Log Cabin on 20 private acres-Wifi -Hot Tub-Awesome Views
Soak up the awesome long range views from over 500 sq. ft of decking or watch magnificent sunsets from the outdoor hot tub at this three-level log cabin on 20 beautiful secluded acres in Black Forest.
Includes fully-furnished kitchen, BBQ grill, outdoor dining furniture on the deck, and picnic table near the firepit so you can dine overlooking the National Park.
Three bedrooms feature: Bottom floor with TV, DVD player, and doors to outside should someone want to stay out late; Main floor bedroom has patio door leading to hot tub deck, and convenient to kitchen for a midnight snack; Upstairs bedroom includes a loft providing extra sitting room for reading or enjoying the view.

Remember we are in the heart of the mountains with narrow, winding, steep roads around. Not recommended for motorcycles.

Amenities were excellent, everything we needed for basic use was well stocked. The views, seclusion and hot tub are the best part of the stay. Have stayed multiple times, will likely stay again.
Yes the hostess was very attentive. The hot tub was very slow to heat but the weather was extremely cold The house was very nice and the view was awesome. We had fun at the Polar Express
Beautiful cabin, very clean and well stocked with essentials. The views are spectacular and there is plenty of deck space to enjoy them. Hot tub was clean, worked great and featured the same amazing views. The interior was well furnished and featured cute, rustic decorating. Thanks for sharing your amazing getaway.
This is a great cabin with beautiful views. This was a weekend getaway with the family, and we enjoyed our stay. The host was great and answered questions promptly. We would definitely stay here again.
Wonderful home with exceptional view. Amenities were perfect for our family. Close to town and GSMNP for activities. We would definitely return again and highly recommend it to others.
Very secluded Everything you can ask for was there Definitely will return The drive up the cabin road is a little sketchy but it’s a mountain so it’s expected
We never attempted to contact the hosts because we just didn't need to! The cabin was easy to find. Getting up to the cabin on the steep, narrow, mostly-gravel road was a bit scary and challenging without FWD, but once there, everything about it was wonderful! It was very comfortable, well-stocked with everything you would need, and had beautiful views, as promised. With plenty of puzzles, table games to play, and dvd's to watch, we never used the hot tub, but kept busy with plenty to entertain us, for the times we were there after our daily jaunts. Other than the sketchy drive up the mountain to get there, we couldn't have chosen a better, more centrally-located place to stay for all of the relaxing things available to do nearby. Thanks for your hospitality!
This was one amazing cabin loved it inside and out but the spiders where bad we got bit a lot but all other wise it was amazing and good thank you so much for letting us stay
We were looking for a location that could accommodate our family when visiting Bryson City for the train ride. This was the perfect find! Property was beautiful and wonderfully kept. We had a great weekend trip. Highly recommend!
nice stay, clean cottage, spacious, with a great view.
close to the town, and to Smokey mountains national park.
you need to arrive during the daylight, the drive up the mountain is a bit tricky.
I highly recommend the place
We were pleasantly surprised when arriving at the cabin- the pictures did not do it justice! The owners were so friendly and responsive to our messages leading up to our stay. The cabin was beautiful, clean, and had a well stocked kitchen for preparing meals. The views were gorgeous. We hope to be back! I do suggest an SUV or Truck for accessing the cabin.
Our family had a great time in this adorable cabin! The pictures don’t do it justice! We had 3 children with us and everyone had a great time! They had everything we needed! We did the deep creek falls and trails which were beautiful and convenient to get to. Thanks for a great stay!
Location can't be beat. Within 10 minute drive to Bryson City, which is a charming little town. Million dollar views. The drive up the mountain should not be an issue, even without a 4WD vehicle. No close by neighbors, so very private property. The cabin is very well taken care of, nicely decorated, clean, well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. Convenient location to several great hiking and bicycling trails. Highly recommended: 5 stars all around.
Wow…The location & views are amazing, no doubt, and we had an excellent time during our stay. However, the drive up is pretty scary(to those of us who are not used to the mountains) & I would stress that someone be an experienced driver & have vehicles that can handle the terrain of the unpaved roads. I would suggest this be stressed within the listing itself as well, so that people like us, coming all the way from (very flat) Florida are prepared for the harrowing journey up the mountain! Also, please make sure to read the instructions on how to find the place after you book, that is a little tricky as well. Communication was excellent & over all, I would highly recommend this place if you’re looking for spectacular Mountain View’s & serene surroundings! Once you figure it all out, it’s very worth it, despite the initial stress. Thank you for the opportunity to experience an unforgettable vacation!
The cabin wasn’t far from town and it was very clean with lots of space for are family and had all the things we needed so all we had to buy was food and drinks so they saved us money with having the other stuff there to use
