Nature's Delight in Robbinsville NC: Snowbird Creek, Dragon's Tail and Trout

Nestled on an acre in the Snowbird Mountains sits the “Hooked on Snowbird” Cabin, a blend of rustic accommodations and modern conveniences. The one level cabin is accessible by a private road located off a one lane bridge. The property backs up to the Snowbird Creek, which Game & Fish calls it “Trout Fisherman Friendly”. Go for a “Smokies Slam” (catch a wild Brown Rainbow and a Brookie in a single day’s outing).

The screened back porchoverlooks the Snowbird Creek. It is the perfect place for an early morning cup of coffee in one of the two rockers or at the dining set.

The cabin has an open floor plan with a vaulted ceiling that stretches from the living room to the kitchen, which gives you all the room you can ask for. The living room is cozy with a gas fireplace, couch, love seat, recliner, smart TV and a view of the water.

Enjoy watching and listening to Snowbird Creek from two of the bedrooms (the master and a guest), the family room and back porch. The master and guest bedrooms are on opposite sides of the cabin, everyone will have an added layer of privacy.

The Master Bedroom is an ensuite and has a king size Purple RestorePremier™ Hybrid Mattress, walk-in closet and a smart tv. Both guest rooms have a queen size bed. The Blue Guest Room has a dresser and a closet. The Front Guest Bedroom has a small dresser, no closet. There is luggage racks provided in bedroom for your convenience.

Both bathrooms have a tub/shower combo, hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner and individual bar bath soaps for your travel convenience.

You will find everything needed in the kitchen with plenty of granite counterspace to allow easier meal preparation. There is a microwave, dish-washer, coffee maker, electric can opener, even a 6-quart programmable slow cooker, pots, pans, cookie sheets, grill supplies, etc. I added a few of my favorite spices for your gourmet creations.

The laundry room has a washer, dryer, iron, ironing board and laundry detergent.

Whether you are having a grilled lunch at the picnic table, or roasting marshmallows over the firepit under a beautiful night sky, or just sitting in the swing listening to the creek the cabin is sure to provide a respite and recharge.

Excellent Trout Fishing can be found on the Hatchery Supported or Delayed Harvest sections of the Snowbird, or take a drive to the Nantahala or Tellico Rivers, both of which are included in the Trout Unlimited list of the top 100 in the nation. For those wishing to tangle with a legendarily Steelhead Trout, the Snowbird becomes a special stream in the winter months with a run of Steelhead Trout from Lake Santeetlah.

Enjoy the easy hike in the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest, take in the beauty with a drive on the Cherohala Skyway, or ride the Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap only a short distance from the cabin. You can also find white water rafting on the Nantahala River, hiking and bike trails in the Tsali Recreation Area, and Entertainment in Cherokee, NC with in a 1-hour drive.
