About this property

Log cabin features fantastic views, with privacy on a serene mountain side. Be lulled to sleep by the cool wispy mountain breezes and the sounds of the river down below. On the covered back porch, relax in several log rockers and watch the clouds float by and the ever changing skyline of the Smokies. B-B-Q your catch of the day or your favorite meat on the grilll; or enjoy picnic on on the Amish picnic table on the back porch. Hikes up and down the mountain display laurel, wildflowers, blue & black berries private road. We regularly seen flocks of wild turkey, deer, rabbits & other wild life.

Plenty of comfy furniture to laze away a rainy day & listen for the dramatic raining sounds over the metal roof on the big rocking porch. Cozy up in front of the stone fireplace. 2-Satellite TVs with DVD & VHS with library of kid-friendly movies. We have just over 1 gigabyte of data available per night of stay; and we can get more upon request for small fee.

Just down the scenic 4 mile road past two amazing waterfalls (pictured below) is the launch site for rafting the Nantahala. Just 4 miles the other direction is the beautiful Nantahala Lake. Three rafting companies conveniently close to drive. NOC approximately 6 miles from river launch site. **Note, the steep inclines on our gravel, mountain road were just recently paved which should make our road passable by any 4-6 cylinder vehicle. (Please note: our town is Topton; Bryson City is about 35-40 minutes from us.)

Fall Get-Away

We were thrilled with our visit to this cabin! It was cozy with an awesome mountain decor. It was very well stocked and had a fabulous back deck/porch with a stunning view of the mountains. The weather was perfect and we ate out on the back porch and took our dog for lots of walks around the mountain. This is the perfect place to get away from it all and relax.

Met our needs

The cabin was as described and had all we needed to cook dinner our first night there. I do wish we had realized that there are no towns close by and no stores. The deck outside was perfect to enjoy the mountain view and cool crisp air!

Great cabin with a wonderful view.

This property is up where you can see the valley and the mountains across from it. It’s quiet with everything you need for a short, medium or long stay. We unplugged as well as watched the NFL season opener. Day trips nearby and further are spectacular.

Mountain top road

It was great. Driving into town was beautiful and the people were so nice. Only one complaint was the lighting in the bathroom was lacking. They could use more.

Family vacation

We loved our stay at the cabin. Clean and had everything you would need for a nice comfortable stay. The view was amazing. We could hear the waterfalls and river from the back porch. So peaceful and relaxing. So glad we stayed there for our family summer vacation.

Beautiful view!

The view is spectacular. The cabin is clean and very cozy. There is plenty of hiking trails nearby. We enjoyed our stay very much, and spent a ton of time out on the porch enjoying the view. A qarning about the driveway up to the cabin: its steep and curvy. Highly recommend doing it in daylight the first time. We had our Camaro with us and it made the trip up the hill without any problem.

The view is spectacular, and it is so quiet. Only saw the neighbors once and that is while they drove by the cabin going to their place. I would place this in the top 6 of all the VRBO's I've stayed in.

Mountain paradise

Warm & cozy with spectacular views! Our favorite part of the stay was watching the gorgeous sunsets while sipping vino in rocking chairs on the porch. We found the place very clean and exactly as listed. Judy is a great host who got back to us quickly on any questions we had. Our two dogs loved it too!

Amazing cabin with beautiful view

The cabin was very nice and well maintianed. The back porch view was truly amazing durning the fall colors. The road to the cabin is not motorcycle acessible unless using a small trailer to pull bikes up and down. Great location for the lake and a Wayah rd is a must to travel on and take time to enjoy. I would recommend and revisit this cabin. No cell phone service for us in the cabin (verizon).

Best place and view ever!

We have stayed at this wonderful home for a month on three different occasions in the last three years. It is everything the write-up describes and much, much more. The view is the best one we’ve ever had, and we’ve been coming to the Nantahala Gorge area for at least 15 years. The house is comfortable and well stocked and there is a lovely one mile walk up and back down the mountain right out the door. I can’t say enough about this place and it’s owner, who communicates quickly when needed!

A Much Needed Getaway...

The pictures don't do this view justice. There is a gorgeous SW facing balcony that allows you to catch a little sunset and we watched the fall leaves change throughout the week. This cabin is perfectly nestled near Topton with beautiful Lake Nantahala nearby. You won't get much cell reception but isn't that the point? Unplug and enjoy a relaxing time reconnecting with nature.

Knock out view

The property ideal for two although it can sleep 6. The indoor fireplace and thankfully firewood provided makes a very cozy cabin when the mountain rain weather hunkers in. Super benefit you can bring your animal babies. You must be country tough as in order to see this view you’ve got to have the know how to manage the steep drive in and out. The owner is awesome to communicate with.

Best View Ever

The great scenery started on the road leading to the cabin and got better when we walked out on the porch. It was raining so the creek that runs along the main road was roaring and spectacular. We were not sure our car would make it up the hills with the rain and the leaves on the road but we had no problems at all. The cabin is well equipped in the kitchen and comfortable but without a doubt the view is the show stopper. There is plenty to do in the area whether you want to be lazy or super active physically. We enjoyed our time and hope to return soon.

Great place for disconnect

Enjoyed coming to the mountains to recover from a beach vacation on the days prior. The location, disconnect from cell and the thoughtful touches and amenities from the host made this place perfect. We enjoyed the fireplace during the cold front that moved in and even made use of the fire pit outside. Kitchen is well stocked as well for making dinner. We were only here for a short time but packed in the Tail of the Dragon, foothills parkway and a trip to Wayah Bald for the beautiful 360 degree views at over 5,000 foot elevation. We will definitely keep this place in mind for the future and appreciate the host for their thoughtful set up of it all.

Beautiful Cabin

The cabin is as beautiful as the pictures if not more. The kitchen was equipped with all the essentials that you need to cook. One suggestion is to bring a few extra trash bags as the accumulation of trash can happen fast if you are cooking for a family and although there are trash sites on certain days, it was a bit of a challenge for us. But we made it work. The other is, definitely want to arrive in daylight your first day. We didn't get there till 10pm and the road was a bit scary. However, after your first time you will be okay. The host was very responsive and quickly.

About the host

Hosted by Judy Flitter

We have 5 children, and our 6th has 4 legs. Owning this cabin along with the grandparents has allowed us to experience the majesty & beauty of God's creation. We love to whitewater raft, hike through the mountains, and cook s'mores around the campfire. Being from "flat" FL where the seasons or either hot or cold, we wanted to experience mountains, real seasons, and the breath-taking colors of fall. Watching the sunset on our back porch is also a highlight. We love it here, and want to share the experience with you.

Why they chose this property

We're close to the put-in for whitewater rafting and the Nantahala Lake Marina. Numerous spots to hike are nearby. Its a great place to let your children run and explore the great outdoors. And get away from the business of life, relax in one of the rocker on the back porch, sip a cup of coffee, and enjoy your family.

What makes this property unique

Our family loves the outdoors and the incredible sites in the mountains. There's white water rafting, hiking to see breathtaking waterfalls & the panoramic views at the tops of the mountains, gem mining, tubing in Deep Creek in Bryson City, horseback riding in Robinsville, and much more. Catching a glimpse of 'real' deer has been thrilling for my children. This is a peaceful & friendly town. We enjoy it so much and want to share it with others!
