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.

This was an amazing place that has everything you need, a clean creek side retreat without smelling like a creek. The drive in was paved right to the driveway (gravel) which was a bonus for my classic firebird. Communication from the host was fantastic would definitely stay again!

We love this place. Only disappointment was couldn't find a three prong extension to use portable oven. I'm sure we weren't expected to carry it across the room to the plugin.

This place was so magical! It was made even more special by the host “giving us” the history of house on arrival. If your looking for a quite escape, this is it! The house was immaculate and the creek outback was absolutely beautiful. As stated in other reviews, if you’re a cook they have everything you need to whip up a masterpiece. Loved everything about this place and trash drop off seemed intimidating but was so easy and quick. Can’t wait to come back!

We had a wonderful time staying here. Our kids loved playing around outside and we all loved sitting around in the sunroom with the windows open listening to the sound of the creek. We will definitely stay here again!

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 over 100 years 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, historic and tranquil!
