About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We're from Michigan and love outdoor activities and small town life. We absolutely love sharing our cozy little cabin with people while they're visiting one of our favorite places and making memories that will last a lifetime.

Why they chose this property

We love the Smokies but prefer the quieter atmosphere in North Carolina; all the benefits of the gorgeous scenery and fantastic outdoor activities without all the traffic!

What makes this property unique

Not many places in this area have paved, easy access to them. And getting enough parking space for multiple vehicles AND trailers is even harder to find! Add in the close proximity to just about every outdoor activity the area offers (too many to list here!) makes the Mountain Forager Cabin an ideal central location to base all your Smoky Mountain adventures from.
