About this property

Sunset View over the Mountains! Rustic Cabin w/ Hot Tub

When we say this home has a little bit of everything, we mean it! This beautiful 3 bed, 1 bath cottage is perfectly nestled in the woods with direct access to the main road, in between Bryson City, Robbinsville, and the Nantahala Gorge. This rustic cabin has been restored and repurposed from a family home to a luxury vacation rental with the most beautiful sunset anywhere in the region.

If you're one to enjoy the outdoors, you are in luck. Less than a half-mile from the Tsali bike trail system, only five miles away from the Nantahala Outdoor Center, and one mile away from the boat ramps accessing Fontana Lake! Close to the Tail of the Dragon, you will be near one of the most sought-after motorcycle destinations in the nation. This property borders the National Forest Service, with signs posted all around. If you enjoy more of the scenery, you're also in luck - enjoy the breathtaking views from all around this house, whether it's on the ride in or just sitting in the spacious hot tub.

This home is boat-friendly, motorcycle friendly, and HANDICAPPED-friendly! Easy driveway access is directly accessible from the four-lane highway, yet this home is still secluded from the rest of the world. Take a moment and relax from the stress of life on the covered back porch, with a view all the way to Cade's Cove, TN.

Excellent spot 1/2 between Bryson City and Fontana Dam Village. Also close to Nantahala Outdoor Center. Beautiful views from the porch, hot tub and firepit, but only in 1 direction. Mini-splits in each room kept temperature perfect for each person. Clean, plenty of supplies and towels. Awesome spot!

The hot tub could use a little upkeep little worn out. But still was nice to have after a day of kayaking. Looking for a close place to stay privacy plenty of space to lay out your gear, beautiful evening views and morning sunrises.
