The Junction-backwoods tiny home on brook trout stream with mountain ridge view
We're open-Hurricane Helen spared our county!
Are the backwoods calling? Travel on uneven gravel & dirt to arrive at this tiny home and unique setting. 400 sq ft cabin overlooks two boulder filled creeks plus a mountain ridge view! 2 mi from paved road w/shallow potholes & rocks. 5" clearance (not 4WD) needed. NOT suitable for motorcycles. (Charging EV batteries not allowed. Venomous snakes and wild animals live in the woods) Use ONLY our directions and you'll enjoy the adventure getting here!
Logging days of the past used the creeks to harvest timber. Now their roads bring you to this little cabin with lots of white noise. Bring your pole as it's home to wild brook trout or hatchery supported downstream.
Country décor shows logging history in this well-equipped 400 sq ft cabin. Relax on the deck or take a nap in the covered porch. Walk your own private trail that leads to the creek-side deck.
The Nantahala National Forest is our backyard and playground. Bring your outdoor gear for adventure right outside your door. Come "tame the dragon", ride the "Cherohala Skyway" or "hug" a tree at Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest.
"It was hard to leave" is the best compliment we get! We hope to hear from ya!

This was the most amazing trip we have had to the mountains yet! And the charm of this place added nothing but character to our stay! Thank you again for hosting us!!
We stay at cabins all around TN and NC and this is definitely at the top of the list. Description is completely accurate and it was fully stocked with anything you might need such as all kitchen items, bathroom items, etc. Very peaceful and a perfect spot to "unplug". Highly recommend it....hosts did an outstanding job decorating plus very clean. Thank you!
We have to say this has to be the most well equipped and cleanest rental we have ever stayed in, not to mention the most accommodating hosts, Alice and Doug. We caught trout right out the back and only wish we could have extended our stay longer.
Stayed 3 nights, absolutely loved it. No cell service or internet, excellent. Please don’t change that! Very neat and clean, everything was just easy. Thank you so very much for a wonderful stay. We hated to leave.
If you like seclusion, outdoors, wildlife, streams, fishing and connecting with yourself this is the place. We stayed Sun to Sun and only left once. It was spectacular. I fished a couple times a day and caught fish. The cabin was clean and well supplied and amenities were perfect. Thank you Alice and Doug for a vacation to remember.
The Junction exceeded our expections. Peace and quiet, beautiful scenery and plenty of trout (mainly rainbows). The terrace was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sound of the creek.We hope to come back some day.
If you’re looking to unplug and getaway this the place! Everything about the location of this property is so peaceful. The owner’s have maintained this cabin beautifully and I feel like they go above and beyond to make sure their guests have everything they need! I have never stayed in a cabin that had a kitchen that was so well stocked. This was an overall great experience for my husband and I! We hope to be back. Thank you Alice & Doug!
The cabin was perfect for us. We were shocked right away how big it was, especially the deck outside. It was a great, peaceful place to slow down for a few days. It was also close enough for us to go hike in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park as well as other nearby sites and attractions. My wife and I weren’t as prepared as normal for our trip. Good thing we booked through Alice! I think she was the most organized host we’ve had. Her information and directions sent beforehand were great, and additional information in the cabin helped us plan out our empty days. Thanks so much for a perfect getaway! Would gladly return.
Shhhhh I can hear the water running down the branch, Shhhhhh the fish are calling, jumping, and bitingShhhhhh the rain hitting the roof is calmingShhhhhh the beauty is tranquillizing
Beautiful house and property. Wonderful stream. Loved being in the woods. Appreciated all the amenities. And the area information. Also the house instructions were excellent.. Absolute joy to be there. We will be back.
Will definitely be back again! Wish we could’ve stayed longer :). Also recommend taking a vehicle that made for off roading. If you’re looking for a place with complete disconnect this is the place! The host was great! Went out of her way to help us when we needed it. 10/10 recommend!
If you looking to be in peace this is the perfect spot! The cabin was lovely and peaceful. The weather was cold but beautiful with the snow. Alice is a tremendous host. Thank you for the hospitality.
My son and I visited so he could fish the nearby trout streams. The location couldn’t have been more perfect. It was very serene and tranquil, away from everything. The house was super clean and cutely decorated and equipped with all comforts of home. The bed was extremely comfortable and they were plenty of places to sit and relax. We really appreciated all of the small touches and loved the chocolate chip muffins! My son had great success fishing in the stream right outside of the house. We will definitely be back to the area and hope to stay here again.
We very much enjoyed our stay! We were gone most of the time on hiking trails but this place was perfect for us and conveniently located to our hiking destinations!
Thank you for the delicious bread and for opening this slice of heaven for us!
My husband and I stayed here as a getaway for my birthday and we could not have asked for a better location, cabin, and host. We had an amazing amount of privacy, and the creek below provides a beautiful 24/7 sound bath. Alice is an absolute gem of a host, and it’s obvious just how much pride she and Doug take in making sure this cabin remains clean and in beautiful condition. The cabin provides absolutely everything you need (except groceries, of course). We were lucky to have found this place and we would absolutely LOVE to come back and enjoy The Junction again and again. Thank you for making my birthday so special, Alice and Doug!!!!
It was very enjoyable and location very beautiful and roads were abit rough but that was our fault as we took the back road. Really loved the feel of the cabin, very cozy.
Nice little cabin tucked away in the woods of North Carolina quiet with a trout stream outside your door no cell signal no internet just unplugged for a week it was great loved it

About the host
Hosted by Alice Lumbard
We're Doug and Alice, originally from Illinois. We missed our creek property and slower lifestyle so we moved into our tiny vacation home upstream from The Junction.
Why they chose this property
We enjoyed sharing our little "glamping" cabin, "The Owl's Perch" (#1891123), so we purchased "The Junction". We remodeled it, cleared the view and gave it a name. We’d love to share either with you!
What makes this property unique
You just can't beat the sound of a rushing creek and solitude the forest offers. We welcome you to come experience small living and see why less is more!
