About this property

Smoky Mt. Views - Hot Tub - Easy Access Cabin - Private - Dog Friendly - Fenced

“At Last - Above the Clouds” sets high on a mountain side with breathtaking views of the Nantahala Gorge and Great Smoky Mountain National Park. You can see Clingman’s Dome from the deck and hot tub. You can hear and see the Great Smoky Mountain train from the deck.

The log cabin has a fully fenced side yard for your dogs and a five person hot tub for watching the stars at night and mountains by day. The enclosed deck is connected to the fenced yard and is totally enclosed with a retractable gate that connects the deck to the fenced yard, This allows you to enjoy the hot tub and deck area that is contiguously connected to the screened porch. It is all about location, privacy and easy access to all the remarkable venues located in Western North Carolina / Tennessee Smoky Mountains and the Bryson City Great Smoky Mountain Train Railway system.

The cabin has two bedrooms and a queen size sleeper sofa for sleeping accommodations. Awaken in the primary bedroom to breathtaking views of the Smoky Mountains. The primary bedroom has a king size bed. You can actually see the awesome views from your king size bed. The guest bedroom has queen size bed. The cabin has one full bath with a shower / tub combination. Each bedroom has its own rocking chair for your private times to relax and read or look out at the spectacular scenery.

The kitchen area seats five adults and the living room is comfortably arranged with a queen sleeper sofa, rocking chair and accent chair for your family or friends. The kitchen is fully stocked for any cook’s expectations for meal preparation. The living room has a gas log fireplace for sitting by a cozy fire and additional ambience for romantic occasions.

There is a screened in porch facing the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This area has a porch swing with four additional gliding rockers to enjoy the sounds of nature without the nuisance of insects. Outside the screened porch is a massive enclosed deck area to sit and enjoy the countless views of the Smoky Mountains, Fontana Lake, Nantahala Gorge and Clingman's Dome. The enclosed deck area has a gas grill for outdoor grilling and a picnic table for outdoor dining.

The cabin can be reached through out the year via the paved road off Highway 74 / 19 and is easily accessible by car. The road is paved directly to your cabin door. I cannot emphasize how important this was to my husband and I to be able to bring our guest, family and friends to a cabin that can be reached year round and for individuals with limited mobility constraints. Our family also consist of five rescue dogs that needed a fenced in yard for their vacation needs. We can now relax on the deck and watch them run and play without any concern for their safety. In season, you can see the Great Smoky Mountain Polar Express and hear the train whistle. I highly recommend anyone to include this in your vacation plans. We are about seven miles from the train station in Bryson City.

The cabin has high speed internet and a smart tv with access to news and your favorite channels and internet platforms such as Netflix, Prime Video and YouTube. You are also able to access your cellular phone data and make calls or texts from the cabin which was really important to me. I wish I could be more descriptive regarding this fabulous location but if you are interested in spectaculer views, hiking, fishing or whitewater rafting, this is your best location.

All of our vacation rentals are dog friendly. There are no size or number restrictions for your fur babies. Only dogs (no cats) are accepted due to guest’s allergy concerns at our venues. We do require a non-refundable pet fee so we can properly clean and replace rugs and linens as needed between stays. The non-refundable pet fee is $75.00 for all dogs. Just make sure you click on the “pets icon” with VRBO to add that fee in as needed. “At Last - Above the Clouds” has the unique feature that I could not find for my pets and that was a totally fenced in yard for the safety of children and pets. The deck can also be closed with a retractable gate so children and pets can safely play. I have been a premier partner with all my VRBO vacation rentals since 2016 with my Panama City Beach House - “Anchors Away Beach House” (1040394) and my Mississippi Bed and Breakfast Cottage - “Long Leaf Cottage” (884716) which means you get exceptional quality every stay. I wanted to add the perfect North Carolina vacation cabin and I searched for years to find this cabin we purchased in 2022. We have the absolute best house keeper and care taker in North Carolina and Tennessee that is just minutes away if needed and I am just a text or phone call away if you need any questions answered. I hope you will enjoy this side of heaven as much as we have since our adventure began in 2016. All my best, Jo. (John 3:16)

Outstanding location. The cabin is so convienetly located with the best Smoky Mountain views and access to Nantahala Gorge. The location is private but easily accessible with a paved road. I loved the decor and wonderful fenced yard. The towels and linens were great. The beds were very comfortable. The hot tub made the nights fantastic with countless star counting and relaxing with the sounds of crickets in the mountains. Lighting bugs were everywhere in the surrounding mountains. I will forever remember this fantastic vacation and will return.

Amazing views and close to everything! We come to Cherokee every year and stay in different Vrbo cabins. This is definitely a favorite! The little chihuahuas loved the fenced area and screened porch. The hot tub was a blessing after a long day of hiking and fishing. The master bed was so comfortable and made for a great night sleep. Thank you for the popcorn popper we used it every night best idea ever! Can’t wait to come back!

The house was so cozy! The screened porch was wonderful with an incredible view and plenty of comfortable seats. Our son and his wife came to visit and parking was more than sufficient. The beds were so comfortable. We had everything we needed to feel right at home. We ended up not using the backyard because of the ticks (not the owner’s fault, the preventative collars that work well in Ohio didn’t phase the mountain ticks) but it was adorable. Next time we head back, we would love to use this house again!

Thank you for taking the time to write your review. I am disappointed with the four star rating since the cabin is my personal vacation home and I wouldn’t change a thing about it. I travel in an RV to the cabin and have never had any problems navigating the paved road. Also, I have had many guests who travel in more than one vehicle without any complaints about space for parking. I do agree that the view is incredible, the screened porch is relaxing and the privacy is a huge draw. Just wanted to say a few words to make sure everyone gets the full picture of this fantastic place. Safe travels, Jo.

Beautiful cabin with gorgeous view! Private but close enough to drive and visit several towns. The porch swing on the screened in porch was my favorite relaxing spot and the hot tub was nice as well. It was perfect for our dogs to enjoy with the fenced in yard and retractable gate so they could be outside playing. There was a fire pit with a bundle of wood ready to go. Also corn hole if you enjoy that. Our host Jo was very helpful in her communications with us and had instructions for everything in the cabin. Would highly recommend staying here!

About the host

Hosted by Jo

Host profile image

I am a hospitality and vacation rental venue professional. I have been providing vacation rentals since 2016. I have been a premier partner with VRBO and always strive to please my guests. I started renting my properties when I could not find suitable and luxurious properties for me and my beloved pets. I cater to families with pets because I know how difficult it can be to find luxury properties for pet lovers.

Why they chose this property

I have been a lover of outdoor activities in the mountains since I was a child. I finally was able to find the absolute best view of Clingman’s Dome from “At Last” with long range and up close Smoky Mountain views. You can hear the Great Smoky Mountain trains from your deck overlooking the Nantahala Gorge and Fontana Lake area. You are only three miles from the Nantahala Outdoor Center referred to by locals as the “NOC.”

What makes this property unique

Beautiful views with easy access to surrounding Bryson City vacation venues. Paved road to the front door. No need for a four wheel drive vehicle. Easy parking and fully fenced yards for your children and pets.
