  • Enjoy your vacation in our mountain log cabin. Two bedrooms complete w/ new memory foam queen beds and tv's. Comfortably sleeps four.

    Two full baths with walk in showers and double sinks. (no bathtubs)

    Three flat screen SmartTVs for use with your netflix or hulu account. Limited cell coverage on the drive up but we have wifi and our cell phones work well at the cabin. There is no landline.

    Plenty of windows to enjoy long and short range mountain views. There's also a firepit to enjoy cool mountain nights roasting marshmallows or hot dogs. You provide the firewood.

    Large, powerful hot tub with easy access on the deck, just steps from the house. The stars are unbelievably gorgeous on a clear night.

We watch the winter weather closely and if the mountains are inaccessible we may have to cancel your stay for your safety. . The address may not be found on GPS.

Beautiful view and quiet.

We enjoy Bryson City area with all the outdoor activities on the rivers and mountains. The ride up the mountain to the cabin is safe but once a day round trip was enough for us. Our family had a great time all was quiet and comfortable.

Beautiful views from the cabin

The cabin was near the top of the mountain and remote. Had wonderful views that pictures can’t do justice. You will find yourself taking the same picture off the balcony each morning because of how good the view is.

Get ready for some twisty roads but wow what a payoff! Stunning view and beautiful cabin with large private hot tub. We chose to do our exploring once a day and come back to enjoy a relaxing dinner at home. Bryson City is about 30 minutes away. Great communication with the owner. Highly recommend!

Beautiful setting

It’s quite a drive to the top but you are rewarded with spectacular views! House is well equipped and had everything we needed for a great stay. I do wish I would have followed recommendations from others about an SUV. While not required in non winter months it definitely would have been more appropriate for the trip up the mountain.

Absolutely stunning!

This relaxing cabin is just what we needed for our 25th anniversary. Gorgeous views. Extremely quiet, especially when the closest home to it is empty. We found that we didn't even want to leave to go do things. You can spend the entire day just sitting on the porch relaxing. That's a good thing, because getting up and down the mountain is no joke. We highly recommend it, but be careful on the last 250 ft of road before the house. Extremely loose gravel on a steep grade that you have to get a run for unless you have four wheel drive. Vicki responded to us in a timely manner.

Wilderness Paradise - You’ll love this!

This cabin absolutely delivers on mountain views, and a tasteful, premium cabin experience. Once you arrive, you will not want to leave. Part of that is because there is are long range and unobstructed views of the mountains. When we were there, there were a few cloudy days which, of course impacts, the view- but also adds to the atmosphere and charm of the region. On a clear day, the views really do go for multiple mountain ridges into the distance. They’ve done a great job maintaining the property with beautiful landscaping, and keeping the view clear of obtrusive trees and bushes. As others have noted, it is on a mountain road. When using Google Maps, the GPS ended prior to actually arriving at the property. But the hosts gave great turn by turn directions, which we follow to get us the rest of the way there. The other reason you won’t want to leave is because the cabin is a 30 minute drive from civilization. That’s absolutely part of the charm, but is also something that travelers should be aware of before they book this property. The hosts have done a wonderful job appointing the cabin with all the things that you might need for such a stay. The home has lots of kitchen and bath essentials, as well a grill and fire pit. However, I advise you buy groceries first, before arriving at the property. We have only good things to say about this clean, thoughtfully appointed, and beautiful property.
