Bryson City, North Carolina
Welcome to October Sky!
Situated on 2 acres, in the Nantahala National Forest, October Sky is the perfect getaway to disconnect and take in the breathtaking views of the Great Smoky Mountains. As soon as you pull into the gravel driveway are greeted by the large two-level cabin and the spectacular views beyond. Amenities include a hot tub, fire pit, pool table, darts, foosball, WiFi, smart TVs, etc. Nantahala Outdoor Center, whitewater rafting, & great restaurants are just a short drive away.
Exterior:
Wide enough for most vehicles, the gravel parking area surrounding the cabin makes egress easy. As you approach the cabin you will see that the front porch is just one step up from the gravel drive allowing you to bring your bags in with ease. When you arrive at the front door you are welcomed by two Adirondack chairs, perfect for enjoying a quiet evening in or enjoying the view. Behind the split rail fence, you will notice the fire pit – the ideal spot for watching the stars fill the sky over the mountain tops and cozying up with your favorite hot beverage in the colder months. At the far end of the front porch sits the best way to relax and unwind: the outdoor hot tub. The second-level deck features additional Adirondack chairs perfect for taking in the scenic views during the day, and star-filled skies in the evening.
Entry-level:
Upon entering the foyer, you are greeted with natural wood and views into the open concept kitchen. Past the foyer, you enter the living room which features leather sofas, a gas fireplace, and a smart tv. Past the living room, you enter the fully stocked kitchen with a dishwasher to make clean-up a breeze. The door to the left of the kitchen leads to the master bedroom. Natural wood tones and picturesque mountain views surround king size bed. The master bedroom has a full private bath and gas fireplace. The cabin also features floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the cabin with light, with outward-facing scenic views of the mountain and beyond.
Loft:
The spiral staircase in the living room beckons you upstairs to the loft and game area. When you arrive on the landing you will see a foosball table and to the right a futon with a bunk bed combo perfect for kids and adults alike. The game room continues to the left of the stairs where you will find a regulation-sized pool table and dartboard. A large sofa offers seating to watch a competitive game of pool or relax and admire the view. To the right of the pool table, you will find an additional full-sized bathroom.
Very nice place, no need to leave the cabin if you want to relax. Take everything you need and enjoy!!
We arrived not too long before sunset when the sun was hitting the mountains just right. That was a million dollar view for sure. The drive up wasn't too bad. DO NOT use Google. Use Solomon's directions and after the first time, you won't need them at all. Since the first road is just across from the NOC you will cross the Appalachian Trail every time so if you want to log some time on the AT it's right there. The property was exactly as stated and was well stocked with everything you need. A note to all renters everywhere: If you use up the propane tank on the grill, please let the property owner know instead of letting the next person find out. We replaced it and Solomon made it right immediately. The previous renter left us scrambling to find other dinner plans the first night. The only big issue we had was that the hot tub was out of commission our entire stay. Repairs were attempted but not successful due to much deeper issues. Solomon tried his best and we still made the best of it. The bed was fantastic, the furniture very comfortable, the downstairs shower was NICE. We didn't use the pool table or anything else upstairs much. One thing to know, the TV is all streaming and the internet can be a little slow so be prepared to adapt. Small thanks for previous renters who stayed logged in to some streaming services. :) It's a great place and when everything is up and running you won't be disappointed in October Sky.
Our family had the best time at the October Sky cabin. It was very clean and had everything we needed. Solomon was a wonderful property manager and even gave us recommendations on things to do and checked on us during our stay. The views of the mountains were awesome and there were so many things to do within a short driving distance.
I booked the cabin for a mother/daughter trip. We love being in nature. The cabin was serene, surrounded by trees, and had the most breathtaking view of the mountains beyond. The cabin is spacious, yet cozy. It was perfectly clean and comfortable. We had all we needed when we returned from rafting the Nantahala, hiking, and visiting Bryson City, and Cherokee. We never wanted to leave!
The cabin was perfect and just as advertised. The views were amazing. We were looking for a quiet place to spend the week and this was definitely it. In 5 days we only saw people in the area a couple of times. Perfect get away and the area around the cabin was just beautiful.
October Sky was a perfect get away. It was just as described in the listing. The view from the front deck was quite memorable. Very clean and nicely decorated. Enjoyed the hot tub while looking out over the mountains. Would recommend.
