About this property

The Junction-backwoods tiny home on brook trout stream with mountain ridge view

Are the backwoods calling? Travel on uneven gravel & dirt to arrive at this tiny home and unique setting with no WiFi. 400 sq ft cabin overlooks "the junction" of two creeks plus a mountain ridge view! 2 mi from paved road w/shallow potholes & rocks. 5" clearance (not 4WD) needed. NOT suitable for motorcycles. Venomous snakes and wild animals are indigenous to our area. 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 gear 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 place is an absolute gem! The view is stunning, overlooking the 2 creeks. The sound of the rushing water at all times. It was complete serenity! Everything in the home was well kept up. The attention to detail was unlike any thing I’ve ever seen in a rental. We had no questions at all. And the sweet gift she left upon arrival was over the top amazing! Everything was very welcoming and cozy! We highly recommend this place. If you’re looking at staying, I’d say BOOK NOW! This place is above 5 star!
View from the porch. I spent most of all the time in the water. It was a blast. Even though the water was a little chilly.

This is truly a piece of Heaven on earth! It was the amazing place to spend Valentine’s weekend. The cabin is absolutely perfect. It was wonderfully appointed. We appreciated being able to unplug from all the noise of life for a couple days & just listen to the sounds of the roaring stream. We enjoyed God’s creation, relaxed and talked to each other with out distractions. This is my retirement aspirations! Alice & Doug thanks for sharing your home with us.

The sound of the river was so relaxing and the little cabin was more than enough for my wife and I. We will be coming back very soon.

This is a great place to disconnect and listen to nature. The cabin with covered patio is really comfortable and well stocked. There is plenty of beauty in the area and fun roads if you really enjoy driving.BE WARNED: there is no cell service and no internet and it's almost 30 minutes into town. The last mile or so is a private road and not county maintained so it is rougher than the host says. I would not take anything lower than a mid size SUV or you may scrape on some parts of the road.

We loved our stay at The Junction! Such beautiful scenery and an adorable home…kitchen was fully equipped and home was very clean. We got a late start and got there in the dark which I WOULD NOT recommend; Host gave such detailed directions that we had no problem though. If you want to get away from everything in a beautiful, natural environment, this place is for you!

About the host

Hosted by Alice Lumbard

Host profile image
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!
