Location: Behind the Nantahala Outdoor Center, about 5 minutes along a back country mountain road sets this large 1 bedroom log cabin getaway, Born to be Wild. The roads to the cabin are well maintained and can be easily driven by most vehicles. The cabin is perched on the mountain side overlooking the road leading to the property with the mountain views spreading across the horizon. The area around the cabin is minimally developed and retains a peaceful natural setting. White water rafting and excellent restaurants can be found just a short drive back down to the Nantahala Outdoor Center. Mountain biking at the famous Tsali recreation center is around 15 minutes away. Bryson City and the Smoky Mountain National Park are a scenic 25 minute highway drive away. The Cherokee Indian Reservation entrance to the national park is another 10 to 15 minutes past Bryson City.
Access road: Cars and Most All vehicles- Paved and hard packed gravel sections on a well maintained mountain road, Switchbacks and moderate to steep incline sections possible, no washed out section. The roads to this cabin are not considered 'Motorcycle Friendly'.
Exterior: The wide gravel parking area allows you to easily park right next to the three steps leading to the wide front deck. In front of the deck in a small gravel yard two chairs wait for you to join them next to a fire. From the front deck a scenic mountain view spreads across the horizon where you can enjoy the cool fresh air in a private setting.
Entry Level: The front door on the deck opens to the living room. Soft natural wood tones, warm glowing gas log fireplace, and a wall of windows full of a scenic mountain view create a calming peacefully atmosphere where romance develops freely. A satellite TV is above the fireplace and across from a comfortable leather sofa. Past the living room forming the back of the cabin is the full kitchen. All cooking and dining utensils are supplied. A small walkway next to the fireplace in the living room leads to the master bedroom and bath. As you turn left out of the hall into the bedroom a scenic mountain view opens through the wall of windows at the foot of the king size bed. On the opposite side of the wall the bed is on, and to the right out of the hallway is the very large master bath. This bathroom has the ambiance of natural elements and style that most spas try to reach. The bathroom has a large jetted tub and an enclosed shower that could fit two.

This cabin is a great little place to get away from all the busyness and noisiness of life. The cabin is very quiet, peaceful, and relaxing. However, still centrally located to all the great things to do in the area. It was a great balance of rest and adventure in the mountains!
