Canton, North Carolina
Come enjoy our rustic mountain cabin located on Cold Mountain. You can fish, hike and breathe the cleanest air in America.
The cabin overlooks a waterfall and a river where you can fish and enjoy a fast moving mountain river experience.
This is a truly unique property not to be missed.
Here you will find a truly unique mountain cabin strategically placed at the base of the historic and unforgettable Cold Mountain.
In addition to a private waterfall on Lodge property, and attendant hiking up Cold Mountain on the uphill side of the cabin, there is trout fishing on Lodge property along the Little East Fork river for use by guests. Our recent guest caught (and released) a 2.4 pound rainbow trout.
For auto touring, the lodge is perfectly located for easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway (11 miles) and Waynesville (14 miles).
At an elevation of 3,000 ft. this mountain lodge features 2 bedrooms and 2 baths and a large cathedral ceiling living and dining area. The Lodge is a rustic cabin built in 1977 and renovated in 2014. It features modern conveniences but is at its heart a rustic Western North Carolina cabin on one of the most famous mountains in the state.
This is a real North Carolina poplar wood cabin with electricity, gas, satellite internet-WIFI and telephone that is surrounded by a dense forest of trees and the sounds of a waterfall just outside below the 800 square foot deck. The evening air is cool, even in the summer and the milky way is clearly visible above on clear evenings from the deck. In the evening in the spring and summer you can see a the dozens of fire flies in the forest above the deck after a day of fishing for trout at the private footbridge on the river on Lodge property.
The living room adjoins the kitchen and features an open design with high ceilings. It is heated by a wood stove fitted into the fireplace. There is plenty of room for reading or enjoying the company of your friends and family. A set of double doors leads from the living area to a large deck that overlooks a green forest, Panther Branch Waterfall and beyond to the Little East Fork River. This is a large property with over 6 acres located between Panther Branch and the Little East Fork River. There is a footbridge that spans the Little east fork with a rough path (at your own risk) that rises to a lookout in a pavilion that looks over the property on fall days (not in summer-it's a forest of green then)
The waterfall is on the property and is located next to the lodge and is visible from the deck.
Cold Mountain Lodge is easily accessible from Little East Fork Road off of NC 215 12 miles from interstate 40 in Canton, NC and features a paved driveway that leads up to a paved parking area at the lodge. Up the wide staircase is the lodge and a deck that includes plenty of seating to take in the clean mountain air and the sound of Panther Branch creek and the nearby Little East Fork River. The deck includes an entrance to the living room and kitchen area of the house.
The Lodge is situated 14 miles from the town of Waynesville, NC with its unique art galleries, boutiques and coffee shops along with gourmet dining opportunities. There are many nearby tourist attractions in Maggie Valley.
Motorcyclists and hikers can use the lodge as a base for exploration of the hiking and motoring beauty of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Cold Mountain offers wonderful hiking opportunities for those who want to explore the ample hiking on Cold Mountain. The gravel road behind the house is approximately two miles long and leads up to the 4,000 foot level of Cold Mountain. Cold Mountain also has numerous “logging roads” used in the 1900’s on the mountain that are fun to hike and which our guests have special permission to enjoy.
As mentioned above, you can also walk down from the lodge, cross the paved road, and continue on lodge property to the Little East Fork river.
Even closer to the lodge is beautiful waterfall visible from the deck. Just sit there and enjoy the view!
Panther Branch leads down to a river just across the paved road in front of the lodge called the Little East Fork River.
Little East Fork is a river that features incredible views of rocks, trees and mountainside and it’s fun to walk along the river in the wooded area below the lodge. We own the property across the Little East Fork River and you are absolutely allowed and invited to walk across the hard road and enjoy the wooded area along the Little East Fork River up to the pavilion for picnics or any other outdoor recreation. The river has cold water that creates a cool breeze even on the hottest summer day.
There are bicycles for guest use at the Lodge. If you turn left from the base of the driveway and bike upriver you will see excellent views of the mountains, farms and the river and after two miles arrive at the Daniel Boone Boy Scout Camp which is the beginning of the Art Loeb Trail.
Serious bicyclists will love using the lodge as a base for exploring the numerous bike routes along Hwy 215 up to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Just get on your bike and ride!

We loved the fabulous Panther Branch waterfall that was easy to see and hear from the living room of the cabin. We loved that it was rustic and spacious and very comfortable.
This property was absolutely wonderful. My family and I got to enjoy the river and waterfall. I would definitely come back
We enjoyed our stay and the cabin was wonderful. There is really nice hiking nearby that we really enjoyed. I went fishing on the upper west pigeon river and the fishing was really good. It’s only a few mins from the cabin and we’ll worth the drive to get to the river.
We had a wonderful time. Spent time fishing the Pigeon river and enjoying the beautiful scenery on the property as well as the wood burning stove. Would definitely go back.
The Cold Mountain Lodge was just what we were looking for. Rustic, no cell service and a great location for visiting NC mountain towns and hikes into the Shining Rock Wilderness. We thoroughly enjoyed the old Sony dial radio and listen to the local radio station while burning in the wood stove and around the fire pit.
Excellent
Nice property and great place to stay very peaceful and great for reconnecting with outdoors and nature.
We enjoyed our stay at Cold Mountain Lodge. The trout fishing in the river across the road was excellent! We also enjoyed sitting on the deck and listening to the waterfall.
If you love simple country living in non-commercialized settings this is perfect. The cabin was so comfortable and felt like home! There was no tv but we never missed it, it was nice to get away from it. The creek and waterfall were perfect. The only suggestion for improvement we have is that there could be a little more lawn maintenance. Overall a beautiful peaceful atmosphere, we highly recommend!
Located in a great area and close to many things to do. Enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching the waterfall.
We were truly able to relax and unwind at this comfy rustic cabin with the sounds of rushing water soothing us as soon as we opened the door or window. It snowed the night before our arrival and we got to enjoy the remnants before it all melted. The cabin was warm and comfortable and had all of the necessities we needed. The creek, waterfall, and babbling river on the property were stunning. Far off the beaten path, but near enough to great family restaurants, most fast food, and familiar grocery stores in nearby Canton and Waynesville. Short drive to many fun places. We mostly enjoyed the slow pace that the cabin and property provided. We loved it! Owner was fantastic and the housekeeper was friendly and made it a point to make sure we knew she would take care of us if we needed anything. Definitely recommend!
This was our third stay at Cold Mountain Lodge and the best one yet. We really lucked out on the foliage, as we got to enjoy peak colors at the end of October. Went to the casino in Cherokee one day and to Bryson City to ride the train the next. Really fun day trips with wonderful leaf peeping along the way. At night we enjoyed cooking, playing cards, and reading. The rain finally cleared out on the last night so we got to enjoy a fire out on the deck and spectacular star gazing. Altogether a perfect 4 day getaway with our friends.
