Where rugged meets refined, our breathtaking custom built log cabin awaits you in a private mountain setting, just minutes from Maggie Valley! You will drive 1.4 miles up a community paved road, where the cabin is nestled perfectly in the mountains of Waynesville, at an elevation of 3520 Ft. The cascading sounds of the waterfall drown out the city life and will soothe you into relaxation, making this the perfect family retreat. Take a load off with a cup of coffee, as you sit in one of the handcrafted vine rocking chairs, on the 44 Ft. long porch. When the sun goes down, roast some marshmallows and warm yourself up at the fire pit, as you sit on the bear benches that were designed and created by one of our local area chain saw artists. The cabin is 2200 SqFt 3BR 4 Full BA, and sleeps up to 10 people comfortably. Our log home will spark and inspire your imagination, allowing you and your family to create memories for a life time.

This cabin is located in Apple Creek Acres community, only 30 minutes from Asheville, conveniently close to Maggie Valley, The Biltmore House, Cattaloochee Ski Resort, The Blue Ridge Parkway, Harrah's Cherokee Casinos, the Smoky Mountain National Forest and much more.

Our BASE RATE is discounted for parties of 1-4 guests. Reservations with 5 or more guests will see a Guest Fee of $15 per guest/per night, which maintains a reasonable pricing structure as the party increases in size. This structure was setup to appeal to couples and families, both small and large.

This beautiful 3 story log cabin comes equipped with all you'll need for a great mountain getaway. We have 3 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and can sleep up to 10 comfortably (6 adults plus kids). The cabin comes with a fully stocked kitchen to meet all your cooking needs and a full size washer and dryer. An open floor plan offers ample room for large families. The family room offers a gas fireplace, large TV and DVD player, and opens up to the large private rocking chair back porch. The back porch offers an outdoor dining area where you can sit and relax all day enjoying the waterfall and fire pit in the back yard; both new in 2017. In the master bedroom, enjoy a king size bed, TV, private bathroom with large walk-in shower, and private porch access. The second bedroom features a queen bed.

    What an amazing property. We didnt get to see snow on our family trip, but the cabin made up for it. The whole property was amazing. The kids had a blast. They really loved the care package for us with all the smores stuff. The beds were very comfortable and the master shower was awesome! Really enjoyed the drive up and down the mountain. Hopefully we will have the chance to return one day.

    We had a wonderful visit for Thanksgiving 2024. My family enjoyed relaxing by the fireplace & watching football, playing pool and making s’mores. The house is very clean and has everything you need. Check-in was easy. The owners responded quickly to my questions. We look forward to visiting again soon. The legend of Pable Esco-bear was started on this trip! ? Highly recommended!

    We have stayed at several cabins and this one is so well done in all areas! Extremely clean and organized! It is nicely decorated to make it inviting but not cluttered. Very organized and lots of accommodating details in kitchen, bathrooms and laundry area.
