Adorable & freshly renovated cabin located in a private wooded community between Highlands and Franklin in the Nantahala National Forest. Our light & airy cabin is nestled on almost 4 acres of woodsy, mountainous terrain and is private and picturesque, yet still convenient to town. We love relaxing on the front porch, surrounded by nature and enjoying the sounds and views from the front porch. It is a peaceful cabin to relax & enjoy the cool breezes and scenery of the Smoky Mountains.

The home was recently updated with all new comfortable memory foam beds & a mix of new furniture and vintage treasures from the local antique shops. It has an open layout that fits 4 guests comfortably. We also enjoy sitting on the front porch swing with a beverage or roasting some marshmallows by the fire-pit and enjoying the mountain views and scenery.

The nicely equipped kitchen features a fridge with an ice maker, microwave, oven, coffee maker (drip and Keurig) pots, pans, utensils, dishes, and glassware are all included. We also provide a gas grill for outdoor BBQs, just keep in mind sometimes the tank may require filling.

Our cabin is conveniently located in between three tourist friendly areas: Franklin, Highlands (10 miles) and the Cashiers and Lake Glenville area (8 miles). In the area, there are over 15 waterfalls, including the 200-foot cascading Cullasaja Falls and above that is Dry Falls, a powerful 65-foot waterfall that you can walk under. Enjoy picturesque, open views of the mountains at Wayah Bald, Pickens Nose & Sunset rock. We do provide complimentary internet, but due to the mountainous region it can be spotty or slow at times. I wouldn’t book if you’re looking for a place to work.

We also recommend renting a pontoon boat and spending the day at the nearby Lake Glenville. Kids (and adults!) love gem mining for local gems such as rubies & garnet, trout fishing, hiking the Appalachian Trail and cooling off in the swimming holes. This area is also a popular spot for antique shopping, fly fishing, and great locally owned restaurants and breweries.

    Nice and comfortable. Quiet. Drive up the gravel road was fun every time. Fireplace was real nice. Beds were comfortable. Unfortunately our stay was cut short a day because the waterpump for the mountain needed work. The owner was very accommodating and refunded our last nights stay promptly. I would stay again for sure. The firepit is a little steep so be careful if it rains but that is my only complaint. If you are thinking of visiting this area then stay here. Dry falls isn't to far and spectacular.

    My husband and I shared this cabin with another couple and we had a great time by the fire pit and spending alot of time out on the porch looking at the mountains. Very clean and you can tell the owners take very good care of the property. I highly recommend this cabin to anyone.

    House was lovely, comfortable, lacked nothing in way of amenities. I appreciated the spice choices! Heat worked fine, plenty of hot water, shower eas great. Your choice of decorating is perfect.

    Cabin was more spacious than I thought it would be. Views from the front porch were awesome as the fall leaves were brilliant with color. Would stay here again.

    The house was lovely, had everything we needed and it was comfortable. The only downside was it was 9 very windy miles to Highlands and 7 miles to Franklin. It was a beautiful time to be there but we mad it a point to be at the house by dark.

    One of the best trips with my husband! Went for our 11 year anniversary and enjoyed every second. House had everything we needed and more! Great views with porch swing and fire pit. Close to many waterfalls, hikes, and shopping. We will be back again!

    We had a great three day stay at the Mountain Air cottage, when we were in town for a wedding. The property is well appointed with everything you need. Nice and clean.
