Enjoy the cool creek side or cast a line for trout; sleep to the sounds of the rushing creek or a gentle rain from the metal roof. Our unique, rustic, and comfortable cabin is located outside of Bryson City - only a few miles from the beautiful Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

The ten-window, secluded, enclosed back porch invites you to relax as you watch the variety of birds while listening to the rushing mountain stream just 30 yards away. Enjoy sitting on the deck down on theriver or roasting marshmallows at the creek side fire pit. This quaint, two-to-five person cabin consists of an eat-in kitchen, one bathroom, one-bedroom with a queen-size bed, and a very large, vaulted ceiling, cozy living room with original wide-pine flooring and wormy chestnut walls, flat screen 50 TV, a gas-log fireplace and comfy furniture.

The TV includes Dish satellite, streaming capability (bring your login info) and wireless internet.

*Please note that this cabin is not wheelchair/handicap friendly, as shown in the photo gallery; there are steps at both exterior entrances and three steps indoors leading to the bathroom and bedroom area.

    The property itself was wonderful, exactly what we were hoping for. The only drawback to the entire experience had nothing to do with the property, only its location. The road to get to it was a little on the long, winding, and narrow side, but that is to be expected in the middle of the mountains. The fact that Bryson City really didn't have much to interest us beyond the railroad trip we came for is the real reason we're not likely to come back again. There's just not a lot going on near the cabin, very few restaurants, shopping, or anything but mountains. Again, NOT the fault of the property or its owners, who have a lovely place, one I am sure will be utterly perfect for many types of vacationers.

    I liked the cabin and listening to the River. Not having cell service was not safe. Something needs to be changed in order to get tv stations. Very frustrating trying to watch tv when it goes out and freezes every few minutes.

    From the moment we arrived, we felt the tranquility and comfort of a loving home. The cabin was authentically charming. We enjoyed reading about its history and enjoyed all the amenities provided by the hosts.Nesteled in the mountains with a beautiful flowing creek and a firepit allowed us to completely destress and relax.

    Our stay was wonderful. We had trouble unlocking the keyless entry, but there was a key available. Everything we needed was there, especially in the kitchen. It was quiet and peaceful. Their description was accurate- it's a very curvy road getting there, but it was beautiful!

    The location is where you can enjoy silence. Raise the back windows and listen to the stream flowing all night long. Kitchen has everything needed to prepare food except for the food you bring with you. Cellphones do not work except for messaging with the included wifi. Would recommend doing the 5+ mile curvy road in the daytime the first time.Will rent again. Thank you

    Imagine staying at your grandma's with a homey and comfortable mix of older furniture, afghans and pillows on every chair and couch, knick-knacks on all surfaces, complete with doilies, a kitchen with every kind of pan and utensil, and the sound of a flowing creek in the background! Had the weather been a little warmer, we would have enjoyed the sunny enclosed porch and the creek side deck also. The hostess was great at communicating. The cabin was well supplied with everything we needed and more than many places we have stayed. Be aware, as other guests have mentioned, that there are some different levels within the cabin which means a few steps up and down. Also I gained a few grey hairs traveling the narrow and very curvy road to the cabin, especially when our minivan met a school bus. But the views are beautiful and the location is a great spot to rest after a day of hiking in the Smokies. We had a wonderful vacation.

    This is truly a quaint cabin. Its perfect in so many ways. It has that welcoming feeling like you get going to grandma and grandpa's house as a kid. Beautiful cabin inside and out, beautifully kept up yard, and a beautiful creek in the back yard. The fire pit sitting up from the creek was just the icing on the cake. On top of all that, the host was super nice, and answered all my questions, even giving little tips of places to go! She even tipped me off where to see Elk, and she was right! I saw a herd of Elk and even got, not only see, but hear a bull elk bugle! Best trip ever!

    Cabin was adorable, plenty of space inside for more than the 2 people we traveled with. Kitchen was well equipped. The backward was gorgeous, loved sitting out by the creek. Felt pretty secluded even though there were other places nearby (couldn’t be seen from the house). Drive was windy but only 20 minutes from town. Wifi was good but no cell reception.

    was a nice visit but should have stated entrance to the house was not for disable veterans, also no way to get to the creek in my electric wheel chair, was nice cabin,but not for the disable. Plan to sent a copy of the description to the American Disable Ass. for False Adverting . Have a great day.

    This quaint cabin has the best equipped kitchen of any VRBO we've stayed at. What a happy surprise! Being seniors & one with balance issues, it would have been helpful to know about the 8 steps down to the cabin plus the steps inside down to the bedroom/bath. The pictures online don't show them and they're not mentioned in the description. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the hosts were very helpful & responded quickly to our questions.
