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.

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.

The cabin was wonderful. Very simple and rustic listened to creek flowing all night. Close enough to run to town if needed and far enough away to feel truly in the mountains Will definitely recommend

Away from it all

Quaint cabin that is well furnished. It is located away from the hustle of everyday life. The stream is like background music while sitting around the firepit at night. Really enjoyed the peace and tranquility of our surroundings and only about 10 miles away from downtown Bryson City and the depot. The town is a must to explore the shops, see the train, and enjoy ice cream while making lasting memories.

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.

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.

Weekend getaway to reunite with family

This cute, little cabin housed a weekend full of sweet memories. What started out as a place to stay to see my grandson graduate from kindergarten turned into a playful weekend on yesterday holidays missed. The host approved for our sweet family to come over for a meal by the firepit. My grandsons played their little hearts out with the vintage toys in the sunroom/porch. Memories were made in the river behind as the kids and mom played in the water, catching crawfish, roasting marshmallows, eating smores, hunting Easter eggs in June so this Grandma could watch. The rocking chairs became bonding time with the youngest after he tired from chasing chickens. This cabin became our weekend home to share with our littles loves. We will be back!

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!
