Welcome to Dragonfly! Our custom built “modern cabin” in the woods is located on 4 secluded acres offering amazing long range mountain views. If you’re looking for privacy and tranquility, look no further, this is the one for you.brYou’ll enter the cabin on the main level where you’ll be greeted with soaring floor to ceiling windows bringing the outside in. The open concept living space allows everyone to spend time together for great family time. A high-top island bar separates the living room and kitchen. The large “Indian Wedding Table” is perfect for your family dinner, table can easily accommodate 6-8 guests. The fully equipped kitchen is sure to meet all your needs. You’ll find a 12-cup coffee maker as well as a single cup Keurig with complimentary K-cups. We have well water and a purifier on the sink in the island bar, better for drinking water.brIn the living room, enjoy the big screen TV and gas fireplace for those chilly winter nights. A slider door exits to the expansive wrap around deck where you’ll find adequate seating and a gas grill. This is our favorite spot to enjoy our morning coffee, sit back and enjoy as the smoke rises from the great Smoky mountains. It never seems to get old. Back inside on the main level, there are 2 bedrooms, 1 has a queen bed and the other has a pair of twin beds. Also, the main bath with a walk-in shower and a fully equipped laundry room and pantry.brHead upstairs to the master and prepare to be amazed! A cozy loft overlooks the living area, the perfect place to curl up with a good book. Upon entering the master, you will again be greeted by floor to ceiling windows and more than a touch of luxe. A queen size 4 poster bed promises a comfy night’s sleep and wake to beautiful sights and sounds of nature. There’s a huge walk-in closet with a full-length mirror and a beautiful black lacquered wardrobe for additional storage. A large desk if you’re on a working vacay, and a big screen TV. The master bath is beyond luxurious with a double glass and marble vanity, an oversized jetted bathtub, as well as a huge walk-in shower big enough for two with double shower heads. All sitting on gorgeous black marble floors with a built-in wall heater. brBack downstairs to the terrace level and it’s Party Time! A very nice pool table, a dart board, plenty of board games, a WII console game, or enjoy a game on the big screen. The FUN continues when you step out the back door, the hot tub awaits, seats 5-6 people, wonderful for melting your cares away. There’s also a large fire pit area for more relaxation and smores are a must. For more outdoor fun and games, there’s corn hole and of course a ping pong table or great hiking right outside the front door. brWe offer satellite TV with HBO, Showtime, and Starz. We also offer internet access via a new Verizon MIFI hot spot that allows up to 10 users. I have Verizon mobile service and my husband has AT&T, we both get pretty good reception there. Unfortunately, there are still mountainous areas of North Carolina where internet service is not currently available but feel sure we can meet your internet needs with increased gigs and speed on our Hotspot. brAs far as the drive up the mountain, it’s gorgeous 365 days a year, but it can be scary the first time you drive up. The last stint of your trip, approximately 1.5 miles will be on a narrow-packed gravel road, it’s a good road, but you’re driving up the side of the mountain and there are hair pin curves, it would be best to drive up before dark at least the first time. A front wheel drive is generally fine, my husband has a 2-wheel drive truck and I drive an AWD SUV, we have no problem. Our driveway is paved, and our cabin is built on the side of the mountain, so the driveway is very steep. Again, a little scary the first time you drive it, but no problem after that. If you’re staying during winter months, we do occasionally get inclement weather in the mountain’s higher elevations, a 4-wheel drive may be necessary if you’re stay is between December - February. If you do not feel it safe to drive, we’re happy to work with you to extend or shorten your stay.brPlease be aware that our cabin is on the side of a mountain, we do NOT recommend our cabin if you have small children.brIf you’re the outdoorsy type:brDowntown Franklin: Voted best small town in America 2016 – Great food, Breweries, Antique shopping, and Gem mining (15 min)brWater Falls nearby; Cullasaja Falls (15 min) Bust you butt falls (20 min) Bridal veil falls (30 min) Dry falls (30 min) Tallulah falls (55 min)brHighlands Outpost / Scaley Mountain Outdoor Center – Open year-round offering winter and summer activities: Ice skating, Snow tubing, white water rafting, Summer tubing, Trout fishing and Gem mining (45 min)brSapphire valley ski resort – (55 min)brGoats on the roof Tiger, Ga – (45 min)brHarrah’s casino, Cherokee – (45 min)

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.brbrThe 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. brbrThe 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. brbrOur 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. brbrWe 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.

Please, enjoy reading Daniel Shea's poem which is very much what one will find and enjoy during their stay! brbrPOEM by Daniel E. SheabrSlice of Heaven Cabin, I see the mountain tops kissing the sky,brAnd I see God's creation and wonder how and why brbrThe valley's glorious panoramic view unfolds below,brPartially covered in white gauzy clouds, an amazing soft tableau.brbrAs the Bumblebees busily buzz happy and carefree.brWhile hummingbirds dart in and out feasting on rose red flower honey,brbrI listen to the sound of the rain's pitter patter and the rolling thunder that is God's symphony,brAnd, ponder the thought of this world in perfect harmony,brbrThe evergreen trees swaying in the cool breeze in a gentle dance,brEverywhere is God's rays of light and the sunbeam's glance.brbrAs the sun peeks over the mountain with golden light,brBringing warmth and dispelling the cold air night,brbrI can feel a soothing mountain misty balm,brThat surrounds my spirit and soothes my soul in calm,brbrThe church bells chime, and their sound is so pious, brAnd, I sing out, Glory to God in the highest,brbrIn this serene retreat, my worries cease,brIn the mountains embrace, I find my peace,brbrOh, how the world seems perfect from this height,brA slice of heaven bathed in morning light,brHere, at the cabin, my soul takes its rest,brFor in this tranquil moment, I'm truly blessed.brbrThat surrounds my spirit and soothes my soul in calm,brbrDES 05/04/2025brbrThe above gift of love was unsolicited but rings of essence of how Robin and I feel each and every time we stay at our mountain hideaway.brbrUPDATE: The above awesome poem that has become a ballad brought forth and created on our covered porch - Daniel E. Shea - our friend and guest. Since this ballad came to light - Daniel - has put this poem to music and has granted permissionbrto place his awesome song 'Slice of Heaven Cabin' about our cabin within our VRBO web page!!
