About this property

Secluded in woods-1 mile from Smoky Mtn Nat'l Park & Great Smoky Mtn Railway

This cabin built in 2019 is conveniently located 1 mile from the Deep Creek entrance of the Great Smoky Mtn National Park and 1 mile from Bryson City and the Polar Express. It's also 20 minutes from the Nantahala Outdoor Center. This 2 bedroom both with king sized beds/2 full bathrooms and a queen futon cabin is one floor living. It's surrounded by woods behind a horse pasture off of West Deep Creek Rd near the park entrance. If you are looking for quality and convenience, this cabin is a good fit. There is another cabin on the property located 300 feet away with trees in between-very private. The vrbo # is 1790268. Also you can check out my one bedroom/one bath cabin in another neighboring area: 868611.

Fantastic Cabin!

We found the cabin to be very clean and neatly in order. Although there was a small problem with the hot tub, the host got a repair man quickly and it was fixed in no time at all! We had a wonderful time and we will be returning! Thank you for a great stay!

Lovely Cabin

We really enjoyed our stay here. It was super comfortable and convenient. Bryson City is where it is at….less crowded and more of a small town feel but with still enough places to eat, drink, shop, etc.

A little slice of Heaven!

I booked this cabin for a quiet, peaceful getaway and it did not disappoint. Located 1/4 mile off the main road, the location was fantastic. During our time spent at the cabin we didn’t see another person or another vehicle. Beautiful place inside and out, with everything I look for in a rental (quiet, updated and well-appointed, King bed, walk-in shower, fireplace and covered hot tub. I will definitely rent this place again when looking for a peaceful getaway!

Perfect Weekend

What a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy nature with friends or family! Although we were only a couple of miles from Bryson City, the cabin was nestled in the woods and completed secluded. We spent a lot of time on the back porch just enjoying the quiet & each other’s company. The beds were very comfortable and we had everything we needed. The cabin was just adorable and someone put a lot of time & effort into making it a welcoming oasis.

Love this cabin.

We loved this cabin. We were able to do things in Bryson City and at Deep Creek. We enjoyed fire pit and hot tub in the evening. It was easy to get to everything we wanted to do and my daughter family did camp some, but was up in cabin to enjoy the evening time. This was a less stressful trip than when everyone has tent camped. I would stay here again.

Perfect Little Cabin

This cabin was perfect for a long weekend in Bryson City! The location is very private, but close to many activities and beautiful scenery. So Clean! I always prepare for the worst (esp being pet friendly) and NO need-clean & very well thought out. Hope we will make another trip soon! Thanks

About the host

Hosted by Karen Whitaker

Host profile image
I grew up spending my summers in Bryson City with my grandparents who lived and raised their family here. My Grandfather took me for many hikes in these mountains and I spent many summer days swimming, tubing or boating the rivers and lake. I cherish all of the outdoor activities this area has to offer.

Why they chose this property

This brand new cabin (December 2019) is conveniently located within a mile of the Deep Creek area of the National Park where you will find great hiking trails, waterfalls, tubing and a picnic area. It is also within a mile of Bryson City and the Great Smoky Mountain Railway and the Polar Express. There are lots of outdoor activities in this side of the Smoky Mountains-hiking, biking, rafting, tubing, kayaking, ziplining, etc. The Nantahala Outdoor Center is 15 minutes away. There are scenic drives galore-The Cherohala Skyway, The Road to Nowhere, and if you want to test your driving skill, try navigating the Tail of the Dragon. You can also try your luck at Harrah's Cherokee only 30 minutes away. The Cherokee Indian Reservation is also a nice place to explore as well. This cabin is tucked in the woods behind a horse pasture, so there is plenty of privacy. Consider renting both for a family or friends visit. Also, I live close by and I am available if something is needed.
