Perfect getaway mountain log cabin on flat lot in middle of Plott Balsams, located on secluded 5 acres in Sylva Vista subdivision. 2/bedrooms and 1/bath with cathedral ceilings and a beautiful electric fireplace. Oak hardwood floors throughout. Covered front porch with rocking chairs and glider rocker. Elevation 3600' with outstanding mountain view! Plenty of hiking trails around the cabin.

Stunning View w/ Outstanding Host

This cabin was all that my husband and I hoped for in a getaway for our annivesary! Lisa is the most thoughtful host that we have ever had and the cabin is all that is listed and more! The peace and quiet was so needed and this cabin offers it like nowhere we have ever stayed. I highly recommend Balsam View cabin! You will not be disappointed. Comfy beds, clean and well stocked. It checked all the boxes.

It was perfect as I was hoping. It was the first time in a cabin rental. It was exactly what I needed and couldn't have been better. I need to come back when the weather is better so I can enjoy the outdoors more.

great weekend get a way

As described only better. Perfect cozy cabin. Everything you need is there and considered. Outlets for charging, nightstand lights, kitchen equipment, grill, coffee makers, blankets to snuggle on the sofa... The cabin is very clean, communication with owners is super easy. The view is amazing. Plenty to do near by. We went to Cherokee museum and culture center, bowling, hiking. Great weekend, well worth the money.

Cozy Log Cabin

After driving up the mountain (which I don't want to even think about having to do after dark), we arrived at the rustic log cabin. It was situated perfectly with a beautiful view from the porch as well as the master bedroom king size bed. All the furniture was very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. Host Lisa was very helpful and provided us information in a timely manner. I would recommend this cabin to anyone wanting to connect with nature and disconnect from everything else.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Ware

Host profile image
My husband and I love Western North Carolina. We enjoy hiking, gardening and Saturday morning farmers markets in Sylva and Franklin. There is so much to do in Western North Carolina and you are surrounded by nature. This is what we've always wanted and dreamed of to live in the mountains!

Why they chose this property

We always wanted an authentic log cabin and this one is amazing due to the high quality craftsmanship of the cabin. This cabin is 'one of a kind' due to the long range mountain view and elevation at 3,600 feet. Also, the covered front porch with rocking chairs is pure serenity! If you want peace, tranquility
and time to get away from it all~~then this is the cabin for you!

What makes this property unique

This cabin is special for many reasons!!! Real log cabin; Modern Blaze electric fireplace; vaulted ceilings; outside fire pit facing the mountain; backyard picnic table with grill; hiking trails from the cabin; surrounded by nature! Wild turkeys frequent the property and are very entertaining to watch from the front porch. You will not only relax at this cabin, but you will go home and want to return again and again!
