About this property
The Owls Nest A-Frame
This beautiful cabin is nestled in the woods - the perfect retreat to get away from the hustle and bustle. Relax in the hot tub on the deck with a beautiful mountain view! The Owls Nest A-Frame is part of a quiet community with a private lake, perfect for a refreshing swim or a relaxing day of fishing. For outdoor enthusiasts, adventure is right at your doorstep! Just a few minutes away, you’ll find the sparkling waters of Fontana Lake, ideal for boating and water activities. Mountain biking enthusiasts will love being only five minutes from the renowned Tsali Bike Trails, offering exhilarating rides with breathtaking views. A short 15-minute drive takes you to the Nantahala Outdoor Center (NOC), where the historic Appalachian Trail crosses over, adding a legendary hiking experience to your adventure, alongside thrilling rafting opportunities on the river. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is also nearby, with endless hiking trails just a few miles away, where you can explore scenic paths, spot wildlife, and marvel at the stunning vistas. After a day of adventure, return to the cabin and slip into the steaming hot tub on the deck, where you can gaze out over the rolling mountains as the sun sets—a truly magical way to end your day. The Great Smoky Mountain Railroad is also a short drive for a scenic journey through the hills, and Bryson City’s delightful restaurants and boutiques are perfect for a quick outing.
