Mountain Cabin with Wrap-Around Porch and Creek near the Dragon’s Tail
Welcome to our cherished mountain cabin, a place where generations of memories have been made and where your own story can begin. Tucked into the heart of the Appalachian woods, our cabin has been a haven for our family and grandkids for many summers. It's a sanctuary where the sounds of the forest meet the gentle ripple of a creek, where starry nights are filled with fireflies, and where the great outdoors feels just a step away. As you arrive, the wrap-around porch beckons, offering a perfect spot to rock in the chairs and take in the serene mountain landscape. It's here that we’ve spent countless evenings with our grandkids, sipping hot chocolate and sharing stories while the sun sets behind the peaks. The cabin comfortably sleeps six, with two cozy bedrooms featuring queen-sized beds and a loft with a thick full-size futon. The two full bathrooms make it easy for everyone to get ready for a day of adventure. And when the day winds down, there's nothing like heading out to the deck to breathe in the fresh mountain air. Our grandkids have always loved exploring the property. The small creek is a favorite spot to splash around, and the yard is perfect for a family game of kickball. And if you're into exploring further, we're just minutes from Fontana Lake, where you can enjoy boating and fishing, or take a scenic picnic at the Fontana Dam. The Great Smoky Mountain Railway, Santa Land, and the Gold Mines are just a short drive away, offering endless fun for kids and adults alike. For the adventurous, our cabin is near the world-famous Tail of the Dragon and Moonshine 28, a paradise for motorcycle enthusiasts. Hike the Appalachian Trail, go whitewater rafting at NOC, or challenge yourself on the Class IV Cheoah River. The Cherohala Skyway and Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest are also must-see destinations. Every summer, we've brought our grandkids to this cabin to share in the joy and beauty of the mountains. Now, we'd like to invite you to create your own traditions here. Whether you're looking for outdoor thrills, family bonding, or a peaceful retreat, our cabin has something for everyone. 1

We had a great trip, the cabin was even better than we expected. Some of the pictures may make it look dark or dated, not the case. The Cabin was bright and well decorated and everything you could need was provided. Very easy check in and check out, as well as good communication. We will book again.

Thank you for the review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay . Guess we will have to update our pictures . Hope to have you stay again .
This is the second time I've stayed here, for good reason. The property is clean, comfortable, and includes everything we might need. The porch is wonderful to relax on any time of day, but especially the mornings and evenings. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. The location makes it easy to get to common sites such as Bryson City, the Tail of the Dragon, Fontana Lake, etc. We hope to stay again soon. Though it was only my wife and I this time, we could have easily had more people and we would've still been very comfortable.Thanks for the great stay!

Great Stay!
We enjoyed our stay, the cabin was great, just like a home away from home. This was a great location for the fact that we could go for a ride on the Tail of the Dragon and surrounding areas and come back and relax. Everything was great, just bring your food.
Thank you so much for the easy communication and the comfy cabin. We really enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for your review. We try hard to keep the cabin inviting to our guests. We enjoy hearing that you had a great time. We love the area and agree, no matter how many times you visit, there is always a new place to explore!
We really enjoyed our stay here. The place was spotless, equipped with more than we needed, and better than described. It's in a great location with little traffic and close enough to anything we needed. Relaxing on the huge porch was great. Communication from the host was excellent as well. Thanks for having us!

This is the second time I have stayed at this property. The neighborhood and the neighbors are wonderful. The property is as described and looks like the photos. The easy access for sports cars makes it a plus. I will stay here again.
We came to Robbinsville to celebrate our anniversary. The cabin was perfect. Easy to relax either inside or outside on the wrap around porch. Bed was super comfortable and the entire cabin was clean. Even though we didn’t have our grandkids with us, the cabin is kid friendly. A little drive to restaurants but worth the short drive. Super close to Fontana Lake, Fontana Dam and Tail of the Dragon. We will definitely be back.

I’m glad you enjoyed your stay ! We look forward to having you return …. Maybe with the grands !
Came up from Florida. The cabin is about conveniently located about15-20min. from Deals Gap and near other Motorcycle Trails when the Tail of The Dragon gets congested. The place is very clean and they have thought about everything you would need to have a great trip. We loved playing Corn Hole in the evenings!

Nice Cabin/unexpected area
The property is beautiful and the cabin was very nice. We were not expecting to be completely without cell signal. It makes traveling a matter of loading routes/getting directions something you have to load before leaving cabin. We were expecting a slightly more populated area but enjoyed the remoteness. Overall it was a great time and we enjoyed our stay very much.

Why they chose this property
This area is absolutely beautiful! Just driving to an activity is part of the vacation, scenic routes everywhere. You will love the cabin, very comfortable with plenty of room for everyone. You can spend the morning just sitting on the large porches enjoying the view!
