About this property
Otto, NC Mountain Family Cabin w/breathtaking view, sleeps 10 access to river
Get some R &R at The Mountain Star. Be prepared for the jaw dropping view from the spacious deck and main level living area of this newly renovated cabin in Otto. Cabin sleeps 10, with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, gas fireplace, fire pit, huge wraparound deck, fully stocked kitchen, game room and lots of amenities. 2 King size, 1 queen, 1 full & two twin beds. Ample parking. Secure, secluded peaceful surroundings with wifi and large screen smart tv's. Property has access to a river and hiking.
As you cross the creek, and make your way up the drive to the large lodge style cabin I suggest taking in a big deep breath of the fresh mountain air, and be prepared to be in awe of the blooming mountain laurel in late spring, the hydrangeas in early summer and views as far as the eyes can see in both directions.
As you enter the front door you will be amazed at the massive wide open space inside. In front of you a vaulted ceiling with stone fireplace and large screen television, spacious cozy living room to your left, and dining table with kitchen bar to your right, along with a newly renovated kitchen stocked with brand new stainless appliances. Take it all in with walls and walls of windows so you don't miss a moment of that Mountain View. This main upper floor has a two newly remodeled and updated bathrooms, along with a King Bedroom, a Queen Bedroom that has its own balcony deck, and a bedroom with two twin tent beds. Multiple doors on this floor lead to the massive deck with outdoor dining, grill, and seating from different vantage points. Take a minute grab a seat and rock your worries away.
Downstairs to the bottom floor you will enter a grand suite with large screen tv, a couch, bar table with seating, a small coffee bar kitchenette with coffee maker and mini fridge, 2 beds, one king size and one full size, and a full bathroom. This floor is also available with step free entry from driveway.
Downstairs you will also find the newly converted fun space with combo game table, comfy reclining sofa with large screen tv, and bar table for hanging out and enjoying time spent with family or friends. The laundry room is also attached to the game room and available for use during your stay.
Enjoy the amazing mountain air and the great outdoors with lots of great spaces available for your enjoyment. We have provided a guide map for where you can hike as guests staying at the Mountain Star and where you can enjoy a little splash or picnic along the Little Tennessee river both right here on the property. Or sit back and relax on the deck where you can rock away all of your cares and listen to the birds sing.
In the back, on the bottom floor an outdoor space for your use and enjoyment, a fire pit with seating for everyone, with s'more's, stories and solitude on those refreshing crisp evenings we have here in the mountains.
You will get the R & R you need at Mountain Star.
Conveniently located in Otto which is just over the North Carolina border, 11 miles from Clayton, GA. 13 miles from Downtown Franklin. 18 miles from Highlands, NC.
