About this property

Quaint, peaceful, & creekside! Alarka Peaceful Creek Cabin - Bryson City

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 the river 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.

Peaceful Easy Feeling

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

Comfortable cabin near Smoky Mountains

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.

Cozy Stay

We stayed here for a weekend trip. It was very comfortable and easy to relax. The bed was comfortable and it was nice to be able to cook our meals instead of always going out. The outside was beautifully done and has a nice stream running through. Very happy with this property.

Very quaint, comfy, nice cabin. Very peaceful. Unfortunately, we had to cut our stay short 3 days due to Hurricane Helene! But the 3 days we were there were awesome! Will definitely keep this one in mind for our next trip to the area. Thank you.

BEAUTIFUL!!

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!

Cozy and cute!

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.

A very nice cabin

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.

Quaint country cabin

It was a lovely country home stay. Well equipped kitchen very homey and comfortable. More neighbors than I expected but still fairly private. The creek was nice and we enjoyed the historic homestead of a past generation. Great stay!

Slice of heaven

From the moment we walked through the door we felt at home! The house was impeccably clean, the yard was beautiful! Everything was just as promised! We enjoyed evenings at the fire, daytime with our feet in the creek, and cooked some wonderful meals in the best equipped kitchen I have ever stayed at! We will definitely be back over and over! Thank you so much for being such a wonderful host and hostess. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Christmas Vacation

We took our 9 year old daughter and we all had such a great week. The cabin is clean and had everything we needed. Even though you are out away from everything, you are still close to everything. The river was so peaceful. It rained the last two days and the road to and from was very safe. Beautiful scenery on the drives. Will definitely be back. The only downside was there is no outside covering for when it rains.

About the host

Hosted by Don and Rosemarie San Souci - CyberRentals Members since July 2004

Host profile image
After our first grandchild was born, Don and I purchased this sweet place so that we could have time with family. The cabin is approximately 100 years old and our son, who is a local building contractor, remodeled and made it in to this wonderful place. Our residence is in New Hampshire but we spend six winter months here at the cabin.

Why they chose this property

Couldn't resist the ever-flowing Alarka Creek which is just 30 yards from the cabin as well as the little creek that runs down the property in to the Creek. The property is private and picturesque.

What makes this property unique

Private and tranquil!
