About this property

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.

The cabin was wonderful. Very simple and rustic listened to creek flowing all night. Close enough to run to town if needed and far enough away to feel truly in the mountains Will definitely recommend

Our stay was wonderful. We had trouble unlocking the keyless entry, but there was a key available. Everything we needed was there, especially in the kitchen. It was quiet and peaceful. Their description was accurate- it's a very curvy road getting there, but it was beautiful!

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!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Don and Rosemarie San Souci - CyberRentals Members since July 2004

Host profile image
After our first grandchild was born, Don and I purchased this sweet place so that we could have time with family. The cabin is approximately 100 years old and our son, who is a local building contractor, remodeled and made it in to this wonderful place. Our residence is in New Hampshire but we spend six winter months here at the cabin.

Why they chose this property

Couldn't resist the ever-flowing Alarka Creek which is just 30 yards from the cabin as well as the little creek that runs down the property in to the Creek. The property is private and picturesque.

What makes this property unique

Private and tranquil!
