About this property

This Is It!! Creekside Cabin with Hot Tub, Fire Pit & Starlink High Speed WiFi!!

4 wheel drive never needed here!! Come, enjoy total privacy, including no contact self check-in, at this immaculate cabin in the Nantahala National Forest!

***If your group needs additional accommodations please view our other vacation rental just 3 doors down at VRBO # 7935707***

Don't miss out on this dream of a vacation cabin!! Enjoy the seclusion of a creekside mountain retreat in this 2 bedroom, 2 bath cabin with private hot tub.
The property borders the beautiful Nantahala National Forest of the Great Smoky Mountains and offers an abundance of exploration. Let the sounds of the rushing waters soothe your soul day and night. Walk across our bridge to enjoy bonfires or even pitch a tent for the night on our property across the river which is lit by festive cafe lights strung around the campfire. Hike through the Nantahala National Forest right out the backdoor. Or if you prefer the creature comforts, enjoy the fully equipped kitchen, comfortable new beds (King and Queen), new gas logs in our stone fireplace, Wi-Fi, large flat screen TV in the den and another in the King Bedroom with Dish Programming. Read a book or just gaze at the river from the sunroom/sleep porch with its comfortable oversized chairs and sofa which opens into a queen sleeper sofa. Enjoy family dining at the large dining table beautifully made of reclaimed barnwood.

Conveniently located on the Wayah Road section of Mountain Waters Scenic Byway, a paved road, the home is easily accessible even during inclement weather. We're just far enough out of downtown Franklin (8 miles) to be secluded yet we're directly on the way to Wayah Bald, Nantahala Outdoor Center, Lake Nantahala and The Appalachian Trail. Franklin/Macon County has 16 local water falls, world renown gem mining, and numerous biking and hiking trails including the Appalachian Trail and Bartram Trail. Grocery shopping and restaurants are less than 10 minutes away. A quick 15 minutes to downtown Franklin you'll find antique shops, local crafts, restaurants, entertainment and two locally owned Micro Brewery Pubs. Adventures are abundant in every direction - or you may choose to never leave once you've arrived!

This was a neat little place on the river! The host was very welcoming and had a list of nearby things to do as well. I found it very odd having to take our trash to the dump ourselves, but we made it happen though. Wouldn’t mind coming back and staying here again.

Everything was Great. The Host Kathy, was on top of everything. Recommendations from food to eat in town and the hiking to every great spot. Also had a local Bobcat introduce himself at the bridge. Didn't have to go far just across the bridge and you was on a trail. Thank you, for allowing us to enjoy your space in the mountains.... We will be back!

The house was clean and the river was beautiful. The property was immaculate and very convenient. The only reason for 4 stars is pots and pans and knives and hot tub. The hot tub lid was so waterlogged I couldn't get it off to use the tub. I'm a fit woman but I would have needed a man's help to remove the lid. The pots and pans were in very poor shape and I had to go buy a knife to use because the knives were so dull. Maybe this is a safety thing, I don't know?Other than that, the bed was cozy and the property was absolutely lovely. If you are traveling with a family, it's perfect. Lots of cozy blankets around to snuggle up with, and lots of trails near by.

The perfect family weekend!

This cabin and it's location gave us the perfect family weekend. We hiked to waterfalls, drove to Wayah Bald, and visited the Lazy Hiker Brewery... but we were always just as eager to get back to the cabin and enjoy the creek, fire pit, and hot tub! The proximity to hiking trails and to town were great for us, and we would definitely return!

Beautiful Cabin on an Amazing Creek; centrally located!

We had a great stay, only critique would be additional electrical outlets or electrical strips added. Didn’t seem to be a ton of electrical outlets. Otherwise such an amazing place, we will look to book exact same place in the future.

Beautiful spot!

We loved our stay! The communication with the property manager was great, she was very quick to respond to some questions we had about the area. The house is very clean and the beds were comfy. We loved the hot tub and our children loved the stream. We had a campfire one night as well. A great family friendly spot that we will definitely consider again!

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Reynolds

Host profile image
Hello, thanks for viewing our property! We bought this home in 2016 because we loved the location on the stream and the fact it is always 10 degrees cooler here than in downtown Franklin! We live a large part of the time in Georgia where summertime heat is inescapable and the Fall leaves are never quite as spectacular. We decided in June of 2017 to share what we think is a wonderful mountain retreat with others. We hope you love it as much as we do! We have another home 3 doors down if you need more space, VRBO #7935707 as well as another 11 miles away on Lake Nantahala, VRBO # 9453752. Additionally we have 2 vacation homes in the Florida Keys (VRBO #1027392 and VRBO # 2413494) and another on a beautiful lake in Central Florida, VRBO #1090075.
We take pride in offering guests immaculate surroundings with tasteful decor and all the creature comforts of home. Your comments and suggestions are welcome as we strive to provide a seamless vacation for our guests! We will be easily accessible via telephone, text, and e-mail before and during your stay. Thank you for considering booking with us.....I hope you'll become a repeat visitor!
