About this property
Historic 1850s Log Cabin: Enjoy the holiday season in the Smokies. ❄️☃️❄️
This Historic 1850’s hand-hewn Chestnut log cabin will transport you back to a simpler time on historic Balsam Mountain. The furnishings and décor are a mix of antique and new to give the feeling of a time long ago while being cozy and comfy. The cabin has a full kitchen, and several modern conveniences like heat/air and a whole house generator. Sitting around a non-buggy 4,500 feet on the mountain, enjoy panoramic views all year from the coverd front porch and flat entertaining area with fire pit. This 2-bed, 1.5 bath vacation rental is close to outdoor activities like hiking, whitewater rafting, skiing, and more. It's also close to many restaurants and breweries.
The cabin is 1.5 hours from Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Dollywood accessed via a scenic drive through Smoky Mountain National Park.
Ashville is 45 Min: The Biltmore and More.
Hendersonville is 1 Hour: Apple Picking, Winerys, and More.
Great Skiing & Snowboarding: Cataloochee Ski Resort is less than 25 Min.
