About this property

Cozy Cabin near Smokies | Mt View, Hot Tub, Dog OK

Welcome to Red Roof Cabin, your cozy mountain hideaway tucked into the scenic hills of Bryson City, NC. Surrounded by towering trees and breathtaking mountain views, this traditional log cabin offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort — an ideal escape for families, couples, or friends looking to unwind and reconnect in nature.

As you arrive and step onto the expansive wrap-around porch, you’ll immediately feel the peaceful energy of the mountains. Enjoy your morning coffee with crisp mountain air and birdsong as your soundtrack, or take in the golden hues of sunset while relaxing in the private hot tub. There’s a grill for cooking out, a hammock perfect for lazy afternoons, and a fire pit ready for late-night conversations and marshmallow roasting.

Inside, the cabin is light-filled and airy, thanks to soaring ceilings and large windows that bring the outdoors in. The open-concept living area is welcoming and spacious — perfect for lounging, playing games, or enjoying a movie night after a day of exploring. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need, whether you’re preparing a hearty breakfast before a big hike or a cozy dinner in with loved ones.

Sleeping arrangements are designed with comfort and flexibility in mind:

Upstairs, the primary suite features a king-size bed, an ensuite bathroom, and its own private balcony, where you can sip wine under the stars or wake to misty mountain views.

Just outside the suite is an open loft area with a second king-size bed, ideal for kids or extra guests.

Downstairs, two private bedrooms each offer queen-size beds and share a full bathroom with a shower/tub combo.

We’re proud to be a dog-friendly cabin, too! Your furry companions are welcome to join you on your adventure — we allow up to two dogs max, with a $200 dog fee. The mountain trails, fresh air, and large outdoor space make Red Roof Cabin a true retreat for the whole family, paws included.

When you're ready to explore, you're just minutes from some of Western North Carolina’s most iconic destinations. Downtown Bryson City offers local coffee shops, breweries, boutiques, and charming small-town vibes. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Deep Creek Recreation Area are a short drive away, offering waterfalls, tubing, and hiking trails for all skill levels. Thrill-seekers will love the nearby Nantahala Outdoor Center, with world-class whitewater rafting, mountain biking, and zip-lining. Families and train lovers won’t want to miss the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, which runs scenic excursions all year long.

Whether you're chasing adventure, looking to unplug, or just want a quiet place to relax with loved ones, Red Roof Cabin is the mountain getaway you've been dreaming of. It’s more than just a place to stay — it’s a peaceful retreat where new memories are made, laughter is shared, and the beauty of the Smokies becomes part of your story.

We can’t wait to host you.

Wonderful Secluded Cabin!

We enjoyed everything about our stay in this clean, charming mountain cabin! It had everything we needed for our family of 5 including comfortable beds for all. We loved spending time rocking on the spacious porch and enjoying time in the hot tub. Our favorite part by far was the amazing view from the outdoor space where we watched the most incredible pink sunsets each evening. We will definitely be back!

A Gem in the Smokies

We rented the red roof cabin with our family of four for a two night getaway for some whitewater rafting on the Nantahala and hiking in the Smoky Mountains National Park. The cabin is perfectly located in between the Nantahala Outdoor Center and Bryson City, NC which serves as the entrance to the park. We found the cabin to be impeccably clean and well appointed with everything you need. Our boys loved the hot tub on the wraparound porch. We loved the privacy of the location atop the mountains with views that were significantly better than expected after viewing the pictures on the listing. We will definitely be back and will plan to stay longer next time!

Beautiful and Relaxing

The cabin is cozy and beautiful, the view is marvelous, we wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. The two downsides we saw; the slow cooker is not working properly, even though we put it in 8 hrs low temperature it was extremely hot, almost boiling, and second, the matress on the room behing the kitchen was very uncomfortable because the center was lower than the rest of the bed. But those things are easy to fix. Overall we love it.

Host profile image
I am a pharmacist at Duke Hospital who stumbled into the world of property management and real estate. It all began when I started renting out my personal properties as short-term rentals. I quickly fell in love with managing properties and interacting with guests, which led me to obtain my real estate license. As my passion for this field grew, I expanded my services to manage other people's properties as well. The business became so busy that I had to reduce my hours at Duke Hospital to dedicate more time to it. I am deeply passionate about traveling and exploring different properties and areas, which fuels my love for this profession even more. I am dedicated to providing exceptional service to both property owners and guests, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for all involved.

Why they chose this property

Red Roof Cabin is more than just a vacation rental — it’s a thoughtfully curated experience designed to help you relax, recharge, and reconnect with the people and places that matter most.

Set against the serene backdrop of the Great Smoky Mountains, the cabin offers the ideal balance of seclusion and accessibility. You’ll feel completely tucked away in the woods, surrounded by the sounds of rustling trees and mountain breezes — yet you’re only minutes from Bryson City’s quaint downtown, renowned hiking trails, and world-class outdoor attractions like the Nantahala Outdoor Center and Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

What makes Red Roof Cabin stand out is the intention behind every detail. The wrap-around porch isn’t just scenic — it’s a space to breathe deeply and enjoy your morning coffee or unwind with a glass of wine as the sun sets behind the trees. The hot tub isn’t just a perk — it’s an invitation to stargaze in total stillness. The fire pit, grill, and hammock are all there to make your stay feel a little slower, a little simpler, and a lot more memorable.

Inside, the home was designed to feel both cozy and open, making it easy to gather with friends and family without ever feeling crowded. The sleeping arrangements are ideal for both group getaways and multi-generational families, with a mix of king and queen beds, two bathrooms, and a layout that offers privacy as well as togetherness.

And then there’s the convenience. From high-speed Wi-Fi to a fully stocked kitchen, smart lock access, and modern furnishings, the cabin has all the touches you need to feel at home — even while you’re off the grid. Traveling with dogs? We’ve got you covered. We welcome up to two well-behaved pups, so no one gets left behind on vacation.

Red Roof Cabin is the kind of place that makes you slow down, breathe a little deeper, and fall back in love with the mountains — and maybe even yourself.

It’s not just where you stay — it’s where your story unfolds.
