About this property

Beautiful Mountain Cabin on Bold Mountain Creek only 5 minutes from Dillsboro NC

The cabin is located on the owner’s 15 secluded acres bordering “The Great Smoky Mountains National Park” and is only 5 miles away from the popular tourist location Dillsboro, NC. Western Carolina University is 20 minutes south in Cullowhee and continuing south is Cashiers, Highlands along with all the famous waterfalls. Asheville is 1 hour to the east or 20 minutes to Waynesville and Maggie Valley. The Cherokee Indian Reservation is north as well as the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and all the outlet malls. To the west is Bryson City, Fontana Lake and the Nantahala Outdoor Center for white water rafting.

The road to the cabin is a state maintained road. The driveway to the cabin is a brand new resurfaced gravel/asphalt drive and parking lot so no need to be concerned about the road or access anytime.

The location of the cabin is the best part with the back porch overlooking Dick’s Creek which is a bold mountain creek that cascades down the mountain in a series of waterfalls and pools. It’s perfect for children to play in or move the rocks around building pools and waterfalls. Additionally, the cabin is stocked with plenty of fresh linens and towels, soaps and detergents, paper towels and trash bags along with a unique collection of cooking utensils. All the items other cabins expect you to bring or spend your valuable vacation time shopping for. All you need to bring is food and drink then spend your time relaxing on the back porch overlooking the creek, or inside by the custom dry-stacked stone fireplace.

The three bedrooms have one king, one queen, and one double bed; there is an additional day bed in the loft. The master bedroom and kitchen open onto a large covered deck overlooking the Creek. The living room boasts a tongue and groove vaulted ceiling that is highlighted by a dry-stacked native-stone fireplace. Pets are NOT permitted or smoking.

B-Day/Girls Trip

The place was beautiful. The views are excellent.!! our stay was great and would love to visit again when it’s just a little warmer lol. Doug was very responsive to any questions we had with a quick response! ! The only suggestion I would have is the please upgrade the pots and pans as we were a group that like to cook together and hang out and eat there wasn’t a lot of choices for us! Thanks again for a lovely stay hope to visit again soon. Christina ,Lisa ,Tina, Brandy

Lots to love

Love the wood burning fireplace and creek! Beds were soooo comfortable! Peaceful setting. But NO hot tub so that was disappointing since it was advertised in the amenities. Well appointed cabin though. I’d stay again, nice and clean. With a furniture upgrade in the living room it would be stunning.

Great cabin for family

This is a great place for family vacation. It's up a gravel road and quiet. Open the windows and let in the sounds of the steam in the property. Well equipped kitchen. The fire pit right on the banks of the steam is a delight.

Relaxing getaway

Loved the cabin and especially the creek behind it. The cabin has everything we needed and then some. Anytime I had a question it was answered immediately by the Burkes. The patio overlooking the creek was our favorite part! Thank you so much, looking forward to coming back!

We had a wonderful stay. The creek was so peaceful. Most of my time was spent on the back porch reading and listening the creek. Even though it rained every day, we still enjoyed our experience.

Large open cabin in the woods next to a cute little creek.

Cabin was clean, spacious, and in a secluded enough location but close to the Smokey Mountains and other little towns. 4WD or AWD drive is definitely a must to get to and from the place. Can't wait to stay here again!

Relaxing Cabin

Stayed in cabin for week with 5 grandchildren. Plenty of room for everyone. They loved the creek and large yard for playing. Wife and I enjoyed the massive back covered porch and hearing the flowing creek. Kitchen was well equipped. We never even turned on the TV. Just unplugged. Host was quick to respond to any questions we had during our visit.

About the host

Hosted by Doug Chase

Host profile image
We moved to the mountains of North Carolina in 1990 to get out of the hectic city of Dallas, Texas. We had been looking for somewhere to build that was lakefront or creek-front when we discovered this property in Dillsboro that was on beautiful Dick's Creek. We bought it and I built the cabin for us to live in. Eventually I was able to acquire adjacent property and built another home. We liked the original cabin too much to sell so we decided to place it on the vacation rental market so others could enjoy it.

Why they chose this property

15 acres of prime mountain property with the Nantahala Forest bordering the West property line and Dick's Creek bordering the East property line. The cabin sits in a private location on the corner of the property backing up to the creek.

What makes this property unique

The cabin is not your average rental cabin. I'm a custom builder and originally built it to live in and did until building another home on the property. It is a great location being centrally located in Dillsboro. You can go one way towards Waynesville and Asheville or the other direction towards Cherokee and Bryson City. The cabin is privately located on 15 acres with no one to disturb you and a wonderful, relaxing back porch to sit on and enjoy the creek. You can make a day out of that. I've lived many places and this is by far the best place so far. You can bet on having four full seasons to enjoy. It's the perfect location. Come and enjoy.
