About this property

Log Lodge, Breathtaking Views, Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Wifi

Log Lodge, Breathtaking Views, Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Wifi, Hiking, Nature, Wildlife, Mountain Gem awaits!

Welcome to your private mountain sanctuary — a stunning log cabin perched at 3,600 ft on nearly 7 acres in the Great Smoky Mountains of Waynesville, NC. With 4 bedrooms, 5 private bathrooms, and space for up to 12 guests, this is the ultimate retreat for families and groups looking to unplug, breathe mountain air, and make memories that last.

The Views & Outdoor Space

Step outside and you'll immediately understand why guests keep coming back. Two stories of wrap-around decks frame sweeping mountain views that never get old — morning coffee up here is something else entirely. When the sun goes down, gather around the fire pit for s'mores and stargazing, or sink into the 7-person Master Spa hot tub with LED lights and let the mountains do the rest. Fire up the Big Green Egg or the commercial-grade Blaze gas grill for a proper cookout, then pull up a seat at the outdoor dining area and eat with a view. And don't be surprised if you spot George and Paco — our beloved community donkeys — wandering the neighborhood. They are guest favorites.

The Entertainment

Rainy day? No problem. The lower level of the cabin is a full entertainment hub: regulation-size pool table, an arcade loaded with 17,000+ games, and a cozy seating area perfect for hanging out. When you want something slower-paced, we've got board games, card games, puzzles, and yes — adult Jenga. The main living room features a large flat-screen TV, plush seating, and a stone fireplace that makes every evening feel like exactly what a mountain vacation should be.

The Kitchen

This kitchen is built for groups. You'll find a full induction stove and oven, microwave, dishwasher, and everything you need in terms of cookware, utensils, and prep space — including granite countertops with plenty of room to spread out. For your morning routine, we've set up a proper coffee station with a drip coffee maker, Keurig, and a French press with a burr grinder. Whether you're making coffee for two or twelve, you're covered.

The Bedrooms

Sleep well in one of four bedrooms — two king suites on the main floor and two queen rooms upstairs (each with two queen beds), giving you flexible arrangements for couples, families, and mixed groups. Every bedroom has its own private en-suite bathroom, so there's never a wait. With 5 bathrooms for 12 guests, mornings are easy.

Good to Know Before You Book

The cabin is about 2 miles up a well-maintained private gravel road in a gated community — suitable for 2WD in dry conditions, but AWD or 4WD is strongly recommended for winter visits. At 3,600 ft, snow is real and it's beautiful. Cell service can be spotty at elevation, but our Starlink keeps you connected. Trash drop-off is 4 miles away (we'll provide the details) — standard for mountain communities in Haywood County due to local wildlife.

Getting There

Maggie Valley: 14 min · Waynesville: 20 min · Cataloochee Ski Resort: 25 min · Harrah's Cherokee Casino: 28 miles · Asheville & Biltmore Estate: 34 miles · Gatlinburg: 56 miles · Pigeon Forge: 60 miles

The mountains are calling. Book your stay and come find out why our guests keep returning year after year.





The home is at an elevation of 3,600 ft. on the side of a mountain, this means:

1. Not all cellular service works or works consistently.

2. We have Starlink WIFI that can beimpacted by foul weather.

3. Trash service is not available in the community nor most mountain homes in Haywood county due to wildlife. We kindly ask that guests take trash to the conveniently located 4 miles away.

4. It snows! When booking a winter stay you should consider an all wheel drive (AWD) or four-wheel drive (4x4) vehicle. The slope leading to our home isn't very steep, but anytime you have snow and ice on any surface, you can run into issues.
