About this property

Spectacular year-round views of Smokey Mountain National Park from a D-Log Cabin

WE ARE OPEN, FULLY OPERATIONAL & ACCEPTING BOTH SHORT/LONG TERM BOOKINGS, POST HURRICANE-HELENE.

While our hearts are with all those affected by the hurricane, we are hoping you will still choose to come support us and our surrounding towns (Dillsboro, Sylva, Bryson City, Cherokee) as they are all open and eager to welcome guests back.

The Grand Seclusion is your perfect getaway with spectacular, unmatched mountain views. This dog-friendly secluded log cabin is on Rich Mountain, close to many attractions: Deep Creek for tubing, biking & hiking, Harrah's Casino, and Dillsboro/Bryson City for good eats, breweries/wineries, shops and train rides. Roast marshmallows in the camp fire with family & friends. Relax on the wrap around deck after a day of hiking (either right there on the property or to check out the countless beautiful trails with waterfalls just a short drive away).

Cabin is fully equip with everything you should need for your stay! Kitchen appliances/utensils, linens, toiletries, movies, books, games, etc. For those traveling with children, we do have a Pack'n'Play, and (sound only) monitor, as well as plastic/kid friendly dishes/cups.

Satellite internet and Direct TV available at the cabin.

*ACCESS ROADS TO CABIN: Gated community access road to the cabin is paved (all the way up the mountain); so 4WD is not necessary. But remember...it is a mountain...and there are some narrow/one way roads and sharp turns. Any size car, truck or SUV can make the ride up. Just be diligent until you get a feel for the roads.

Awesome cabin with great view

My husband and I stayed at this lovely cabin for 4 nights. Had everything we needed to just enjoy a relaxing time. The nights were cool so we enjoyed a fire every night. The view was beautiful. Only problem is we had to leave; but we will return soon.

stay in the Smokey’s

Awesome place overall. Three of us stayed here and the bedrooms were comfortable. There were two clean bathrooms and plenty of space in the living areas. The house was nicely stocked with all the things you may need. In terms of location, it is very close (15-20 minutes) to the park as well as a few other really really cool towns with breweries, stores, and lovely downtowns - our favorites being Silva and Bryson City. Be aware, the road to the house off the main highway was a one land windy road that is quite steep. After the first drive up it, we were very comfortable navigating the roads being that high in the mountains you felt perfectly secluded- the week we were there we didn’t see any other people around in the complex. I highly recommend this place!

Awesome Mountain Cabin

We had a great time with the whole family. The house is in a gated (quiet!) neighborhood. The road is single track and steep in some areas. Nice views all around. The house is clean and well kept. Proximity to the national park and the small towns around is a plus.

Great cabin with a mountian view

Our family has made several trips to Georgia and North Carolina for Thanksgiving, and this cabin stay was probably the best. Cabin was clean with appealing decor and exterior appearance. All amenities were there and in good condition. Photos do not do this property justice. Short ride to downtown Bryson City and the Smoky Mountain National Park. Will book again! Thank you!

Perfect Stay!

I couldn’t be happier with the experience! The host is EXTREMELY responsive. She gave me a close location beforehand so I could plan my trip, she got us booked for an extra night on short notice, was accommodating to our pups, and was quick to answer when I had a question before check out. WONDERFUL experience. The cabin was perfect for the two of us, but would be more than comfortable for a larger group. The view is beautiful, and not a single vehicle came our way during our stay. Everything was clean, beautiful, and well-appointed. THANK YOU!

Cherokee Weekend

We came to enjoy the mountain and to learn more about our Cherokee heritage. The cabin was lovely and comfortable - just right for four of us - more could have joined us. Everything we needed was there for cooking, etc. It was not a long drive to the museum and gallery we wanted to visit. The view of the mountains was incredible. We enjoyed the porch for viewing while we drank our coffee every morning and for watching the stars every evening. I recommend it highly.

A great cabin with beautiful views. Extremely clean. As other reviews mentioned, the road is narrow and winding, but that is to be expected in the mountains. It was paved the entire way, and we had no issues.

Our favorite rental to date!

We absolutely loved this place! It’s impeccably clean and had everything we needed. This place was sooooo quiet. There’s no traffic noise since we’re on the other side of the mountain from the traffic. We’ve never been somewhere this quiet. Gorgeous location, in the trees, Mountain View. Beds were comfy. Kitchen has everything. House was nicely designed. Loved, loved this place. And it’s close to all the cities nearby. We’ll definitely be back!

Wonderful place to stay in the mountains!

We had a great time staying at this cabin! The cabin itself is beautiful and perfect for a small group. The large porch looks out to an amazing view, which you can also see from every common area inside the cabin. The grounds immediately surrounding the cabin are well maintained. We sat by the fire area outside and watched 2 deer walk up the ridge 20 yards away from us! The small road in can be a little tricky to navigate, but is not too bad. I drive a full size truck and was able to get in and out without a problem. We would love to return to this place!

Beautiful cabin

This cabin was very nice and clean. Kitchen stocked with essentials. The road into the cabin is very sketchy with one way traffic. Going in at night was touch and go with all the hairpin turns and small roads. We drive a Tahoe and some of those turns we had to back up and turn again. Meeting cars on the one way one lane road is not a good feeling as you have to back to wherever you can to let the other car by or they do the same for you. Again cabin great, location not a fan. Owners are very responsive to emails.
