About this property

Quiet Rustic Getaway

*4WD/AWD recommended* A beautiful mountain cabin in Whittier, North Carolina. Has one queen bed in the loft, pull out couch and child bunk beds downstairs, a fully functioning kitchen, heat, board games and a Smart TV. Relax by the fire pit or on the large porch swings. Enjoy time in the Great Smoky Mountains where you can have peace and quiet or enjoy the local outdoor adventures. With hiking, rafting, tubing, boating, shopping nearby, this is the perfect location. A short drive from Bryson City, where you can shop, visit the local breweries, or partake in the outdoor activities at the Nantahala Outdoor Center (white water rafting, zip lining). Also a short drive from the history and culture of Cherokee. The Harrah's casino is close if you enjoy concerts, gambling, and restaurants. The area is full of activities that will suit everyone! All ages will fall in love with the quaint atmosphere of this getaway. Located about 60 miles from the Asheville Regional Airport and all that Asheville has to offer. The craft breweries and Biltmore Estate are some must see Asheville land marks!

**The cabin is off a gravel (unpaved) road, 4-wheel drive or all-wheel drive recommended.
**We recommend you arrive during daylight hours.
**On the drive there is limited cell phone service due to the remote location. Wifi is available once at the cabin.

It was quite cozy. Perfect for a couple. Not sure about kids; they may get bored, but if you want to unwind, relax, and unplug from the digital world, this is the place. Check-in was easy, and communication was very fast.

This place exceeded my expectations, the drive up to the cabin was just so beautiful (my head was on a swivel wanting to look everywhere but the road lol). The cabin itself was so cute and cozy, with everything you need inside. We didn’t want to leave!! The outside views from the front porch OMG, definitely the perfect place to leave your phone inside and just sit on the porch swing and listen to the rush of water, the wind thru the trees and sound of wildlife and nature lulling you into peace and contentment. We are totally returning in the future! Thank you so much!

The cabin has everything we needed. The Peace and tranquility that it brings, most of all. Very clean. The loft bedroom isn't for old folks. We did just fine with it though. Both in our 60s. Clean, comfortable and private. We loved it!

What a BEAUTIFUL place to just relax and unwind! The cabin itself is amazing and where it's located is even more so. All you can hear if you're outside is the mountain stream across from the driveway making that porch a little slice of heaven for sure. Just an all around amazing stay!

A for everything! Tucked away, no sounds but the running creek and an occasional bird. Spotless and well-stocked inside. The fire pit was divine. The electric stove has been replaced with a new flat-top since the picture in the add was taken. The Wi-Fi worked well, we were able to stream a movie each night from amazon. It is up a very-steep gravel road with switch backs so definitely glad we have a 4x4.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Location
I gave it an okay rating for a number of reasons: WiFi was not good, it kept buffering through movies and was very frustrating at times. Neighbors were loud, driving by with loud music playing. They also drove an ATV up and down a muddy hill next to the residence. I figured there wasn’t a view since there was no photo, but I didn’t expect an abandoned trailer to look at out the front porch. I do give it an excellent for the cute interior and distance from Cherokee and Bryson City. It was clean with extra little touches. .

This rustic cabin was the perfect getaway for us. The drive up is not for the faint of heart, but if you are ok driving off-road this cabin is a great deal.
