Bryson City, North Carolina
Location:
Antler Ridge is conveniently located in a gated community off Highway 28 N just outside of Bryson City, NC. This cabin is just a few sort minutes from the Almond Boat Dock on Fontana Lake and a public lake access point that is popular for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, canoeing, and more! The mountain biking mecca of the Eastern United States, Tsali Recreation Center is less than 10 minutes away. And the outdoor adventurous fun of the Nantahala Gorge like white water rafting and zip lining is only a 15 minute trip away. Bryson City is about a 25 minutes drive from this cabin where you can enjoy the charming shops, restaurants, and breweries or check out the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad train depot located downtown. You can also access the Deep Creek entrance into the GSMNP while in town. Deep Creek is packed with great hiking trails, beautiful waterfalls, and in the Spring and Summer months, tubing!
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.
Exterior:
When you arrive at this cabin you will park on a gravel parking area behind the cabin. You can pull right up close to a set of stairs leading to the main deck and entrance. Here is where your journey to Antler Ridge becomes worth any and every effort; for, as you step onto the large side deck the beautiful view of the Smoky Mountains fills the horizon in front of you. This view seems to fill every part of this cabin, exterior and interior. The main entrance is a sliding glass door to the left of the stairs. The large side deck is the primary spot for outdoor activities. A picnic table is positioned across from the entrance to the kitchen and under the shading cover of the upper deck for dining out side in the fresh forested air. Past the picnic table the deck opens up to the sky above. On a bumped out portion of the deck by itself sets a most inviting sight after a long day of playing and touring throughout the Smoky Mountains; a large professionally cleaned and private hot tub. Across from the hot tub and surrounded by Adirondack-style rocking chairs is a large outdoor wood-burning fireplace. Sitting in front of a glowing fire while watching the sun set over the mountain view as the stars fill in the sky above is a Smoky Mountain experience to be remembered for years to come. A gas grill is also positioned on the deck to allow your grill master a view of the mountains as they are cooking their favorite meal. Propane and utensils are provided at the cabin. The deck continues to wrap-around across the front of the cabin where several more Adirondack-style rocking chairs provide a relaxing spot to watch the clouds drift over and through the mountain view. From here the deck continues to wrap around the cabin to the forest shaded side. Ending at a covered area where a sliding glass door opens to the bedroom on the entry level. The cover of this area is actually the private balcony of the bedroom on the top floor. Also on the top floor of the cabin is the deck that covers the picnic table and front entrance. This deck is also covered and has seating for four guest to enjoy the view while waiting a turn at the pool table just inside a set of sliding glass doors. The lower deck is accessible from the yard or from the lower level master suite. A pair of chairs offer a place to enjoy a morning coffee outside while watching the mist of the Smoky Mountains rise from the valleys below. The exterior of this beautiful Smoky Mountain log cabin offers as much to do as the interior. . .

Property as listed, had a great time. Great views and loved outdoor fire pit and hot tub. Zero complaints. Management company easy to get in contact with and were excellent to deal with.
We went to the polar express in Bryson city on Friday and stayed at this beautiful cabin the rest of the time. We had a blast using the hot tub, playing pool and relaxing in front of the multiple fireplaces playing games. This cabin is the nicest and cleanest cabin we’ve rented so far. We had multiple small children and it was nice to have each family on their own floor with own bathrooms. I hope the next trip we make to Bryson City we are able to book this beautiful getaway again.
We loved it
The house was luxurious. The property was private and had a stunning view. The house was within easy driving distance from many outdoor activities. My family hopes to stay again for a longer visit. Highly recommend.
Excellent views, exceptional place to stay and relax!
Our family stayed at Antler Ridge for a week in May. The one lane road up is not for the faint of heart but when you get to the house and see the beautiful view, it was worth it. The house is just as described, we especially enjoyed all the decks from every room, so much so we hardly sat in the house at all. We especially enjoyed sitting outside by the fireplace in the evening. We will definitely stay here again.
The place (like the view) is amazing. No complaints, whatsoever. The road going up is about what you'd expect for a Carolina cabin, but we had no trouble in sports cars. Would def recommend!
This cabin is amazing! My family spent Spring Break at the cabin and all ages had a wonderful time. Not only is the view amazing but the windows are spotless so you can enjoy the mountains from anywhere in the house. Also this was probably the cleanest cabin we've ever stayed in so a big thank you to the cleaning crew. The cabin does not have WiFi. I didn't pick up on that when I booked it but it helped us disconnect and enjoy nature. The outdoor fireplace was a lot of fun. We have never stayed at the same cabin twice but this one checked all the boxes and is one we plan to return to in the future.
This property is wonderful.. We have no complaints. The property management team was also great. We would love to stay again! Plus the views are just as good as the pictures depict. We loved our stay..
Our group had a wonderful stay here. The cabin was so clean and cozy and had an amazing view. We went out and explored the area but also spent lots of time hanging out on the spacious decks. Would highly recommend this cabin.
We had the most amazing friends getaway at the Almond mountain cabin. The views from the porch were incredible and we spent so much time just soaking it in! The rooms were very clean and there was a great kitchen area to cook and hang out. Great proximity to nantahala rafting, which we also enjoyed.
We really enjoyed our stay. The house matched the pictures. The winding road to the house was an adventure. But once you were there things were amazingly relaxing. One thing that we did not notice in the listing is that there is no WiFi available. It was great to relax but I had planned to get a little work done while I was there and not possible with 1 bar from my cellular provider.
Great house! This house is lovely, beds were comfortable, kitchen is well-equipped, and the deck space/hot tub/views are amazing! about 20 minutes to NOC!
Beautiful cabin! Amazing view! Will definitely be back.
Beautiful quiet cabin on top of the mountain. The cabin was set up perfectly with a wrap around porch. There was more than enough space to accommodate 8 of us.
