Quaint, peaceful, & creekside! Alarka Peaceful Creek Cabin - Bryson City

Enjoy the cool creek side or cast a line for trout; sleep to the sounds of the rushing creek or a gentle rain from the metal roof. Our unique, rustic, and comfortable cabin is located outside of Bryson City - only a few miles from the beautiful Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

The ten-window, secluded, enclosed back porch invites you to relax as you watch the variety of birds while listening to the rushing mountain stream just 30 yards away. Enjoy sitting on the deck down on the river or roasting marshmallows at the creek side fire pit. This quaint, two-to-five person cabin consists of an eat-in kitchen, one bathroom, one-bedroom with a queen-size bed, and a very large, vaulted ceiling, cozy living room with original wide-pine flooring and wormy chestnut walls, flat screen 50" TV, a gas-log fireplace and comfy furniture.

The TV includes Dish satellite, streaming capability (bring your login info) and wireless internet.

*Please note that this cabin is not wheelchair/handicap friendly, as shown in the photo gallery; there are steps at both exterior entrances and three steps indoors leading to the bathroom and bedroom area.

Quaint country cabin

It was a lovely country home stay. Well equipped kitchen very homey and comfortable. More neighbors than I expected but still fairly private. The creek was nice and we enjoyed the historic homestead of a past generation. Great stay!

Nice quiet getaway

My husband and I enjoyed a quiet long weekend in this simple cabin. Lovely creek right out back and even found a trailhead close by and hiked up to the falls. We didn’t want to do too much, just wanted a simple getaway and this place provided just that.

Cozy Stay

We stayed here for a weekend trip. It was very comfortable and easy to relax. The bed was comfortable and it was nice to be able to cook our meals instead of always going out. The outside was beautifully done and has a nice stream running through. Very happy with this property.

Peaceful creek side cabin

This was the perfect place for a couples getaway for the long holiday weekend. Well-stocked kitchen made breakfast easy each morning. The fireplace made the whole cabin nice and toasty; we used it to get the chill out of the air in the morning and at the end of the day of exploring Bryson City and other local points of interest. We would stay here again!

Cozy and cute!

Cabin was adorable, plenty of space inside for more than the 2 people we traveled with. Kitchen was well equipped. The backward was gorgeous, loved sitting out by the creek. Felt pretty secluded even though there were other places nearby (couldn’t be seen from the house). Drive was windy but only 20 minutes from town. Wifi was good but no cell reception.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this lovely cabin. Everything was pristine when we walked in and had everything we needed for our stay. When we go back to this area, we will definitely stay again. Learning about the historic cabin was amazing, it took me back in time to the lovely family that lived there. Thank you Don & Rosemarie, you truly made our visit so enjoyable, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Blessings to you both and hope you share this little cabin for many more years.
