Secluded Mountain Getaway | Family Retreat | Unforgettable Views
Wake to birdsong and crisp mountain air at this secluded cabin surrounded by nature. Enjoy coffee on the deck with Smoky Mountain views, soak in the hot tub, challenge the family in the game room, and end the day beneath star-filled skies. Just a short drive from Bryson City and the Nantahala Outdoor Center for whitewater rafting, hiking, ziplining, and more. Gather around the fire, watch for wildlife, and make lasting memories in the mountains.
Make yourself at home. The open living area is a great place to relax after exploring the Smoky Mountains with Asheville, Gatlinburg, Cherokee, and Bryson City within a 3 hr drive. The fully stocked kitchen has what you need to cook family meals, and the charcoal grill make outdoor cooking easy. The front deck or the hot tub are the best spots in the house, with mountain views and space to enjoy your coffee or watch the sunset. Upstairs, the main bedroom has a king bed, walk-in closet, and private bathroom for extra comfort and privacy. The second bedroom has a king bed, and the third has two twin beds, perfect for kids or friends. These rooms share a full bathroom. Downstairs, you`ll find another king bedroom, a full bathroom, laundry room, and a game room where all can unwind and make memories. An additional trundle bunk bed within the game room allows for three more sleeping spaces. WiFi is included, so you can stay connected when you need to and unplug when you don`t. Our cabin`s secluded location is part of its charm. Reaching the property requires driving on winding gravel roads that may be steep, narrow, and uneven in places. Guests should be comfortable driving on mountain roads. We recommend arriving during daylight and an AWD or 4WD vehicle is recommended during periods of inclement weather. The drive is part of the adventure. Once you arrive, you`ll understand why guests say the privacy, breathtaking scenery, and unmatched peace are worth it.

Loved the house and the view was amazing. The only downside is that the road going up to the house is a narrow steep gravel road.Once you reach the house it is worth the drive.It’s only about thirty miles to bryson City.
Beautiful house on top of a mountain. There are some PRO’s and CON’s that I will review here.PRO’s: the place is absolutely beautiful. The view from the back decks (top and bottom) are amazing, overlooking the Smokey Mountains. Just sitting and breathing the mountain air, while mindfully looking at the mountains is a great experience. The property itself is well kept and relatively modern with a rustic feel. The included amenities were nice for cooking our own meals. We had 8 adults and the house slept all just fine, with comfortable beds and furniture. The host was also great for communication for all our needs.CON’s: there was some dirt we needed to clean up when we arrived. The electric grill on the porch did not work. Note that you have to take your trash 15min away to a recycling center (this is okay - and is disclosed, but it is a distance and something to consider). However, with that said, the host was very accommodating and super helpful with any concerns we had. These are simple fixes for them, and should not deter your consideration from booking. OVERALL: I would recommend this host and property. I think it is worthy of FIVE STARS and, despite some minor shortcomings, it made for an all in all great family vacation in the mountains. Like some other reviewers have mentioned, the driveway is long and steep, but the view from the top definitely makes up for that!
I can’t say enough nice things about this house. The views were amazing the house and the game room was so much fun for my kids. The location was perfect. You had privacy, but it was close to everything.
