THE CABIN
Soaring A-frame tongue-and-groove cathedral ceilings welcome you as you enter the main living space off the covered deck. Large floor-to-ceiling wall of windows overlooking the views allows the natural light to pour in and the magnificent views looking out. Long-range, multi-layered mountain views are certainly the show-piece here! The Smoky Mountains are ever changing, the sunlight casting a wide spectrum of colors and shadows across the mountains and clouds, giving a different look to the view all throughout the day.
The fully-equipped kitchen, dining room and main living spaces all flow together for a roomy, light and open floor plan. Big 60” LED TV for viewing your favorite shows/movies on the reclining leather sofas. The stone, gas-log fireplace is perfect for gathering around during those cooler months. Sit around the dining room table as a family and admire the mountain views out the windows as you enjoy your meals. Or, dine outside on the deck!
Back out onto the expanded deck, you’ll find ample outdoor living space to soak in those “wow” views! Speaking of soak, an o-so-relaxing four-seater Hot Tub (w/ waterfall feature) awaits to melt away all your cares in the world after a long-day of outdoor adventures. An outdoor firepit is also the perfect place to roast those smores and enjoy the outdoors! A gas grill is also provided for those master chefs!
Back inside, on the main level past the kitchen you’ll find your full sized washer and dryer, full size bathroom (with Jacuzzi tub), along with the main level King-bed Primary Bedroom (equipped with it’s own TV/DVD player). Upstairs, you’ll find a roomy loft bedroom with two twin beds and a queen bed with its own en-suite bathroom. Perfect space for the kids or extra guests, allowing this cabin to sleep up to 6 guests comfortably.
THE SURROUNDINGS
The cabin sits at an elevation of nearly 3,000 feet, allowing for those cool mountain breezes even in warmer weather months. The road to the cabin is completely paved and pretty well maintained. Moderate inclines, a couple quick curves, but nothing overly steep. 2WD vehicles just fine. For those not accustom to "mountain driving", probably best to try and arrive during daylight hours on your check-in day. In the winter months when there is heavy ice or snow, that would make the drive tricky so would suggest waiting until the ice/snow melts off (which here usually doesn’t take long)
The parking area outside the cabin is completely level and can easily accommodate up to 3 vehicles, if needed.
NEIGHBORING CABINS
Cabin is located in a small Gated & Private Upscale Cabin Community in Bryson City. There is an adjoining cabin next door to this cabin. Two separate cabins, just happened to be built side-by-side to one another. Complete privacy and seclusion otherwise, as you can't see the neighbors (only the views!)
THE LOCATION
Cabin is a short 10 minute drive from downtown Bryson City, 15 minutes from the Deep Creek entrance of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and 20 minutes or so from Cherokee and the Park main entrance. Nantahala National Forest and Lake Fontana are both roughly a 20 minute drive. Asheville NC (Biltmore Estate) and Gatlinburg TN are just over an hour’s drive away.
Local shops, restaurants, breweries/wineries, boating/fishing the area rivers or on Lake Fontana, hikes/waterfalls, river rafting/tubing, golfing, horseback riding, ATV trails, zip lining – all within half an hour. An outdoor lover’s paradise! The Great Smoky Mountain Railroad runs out of Bryson City and is a wonderful, scenic keepsake experience.
Close to so many other attractions and day trips, happy to provide more upon request.

TV / WIFI / Cell service

Or, unplug from it all (we recommend this approach best)!
