About the host
Hosted by Brian Whitener
We love the Western NC mountains and feel as though they are a special place to be. We desire for everyone here to find respite, whatever that may look like for themselves, while visiting here. We love to hike and the great outdoors ourselves so we have included an area guide with some of our personal favorites to make the most out of the area:) We would love to host you and your family on the quiet side of the Smoky Mountains!
Why they chose this property
This is an amazing property in a beautiful, natural, woodlands setting in the heart of the Smoky Mountains! So peaceful and private too. Spring fed water systems, the natural wood materials used to build the cabins, along with the cool mountain air takes you back in time for sure. You will feel so far away from your normal day to day life; yet so close to Bryson City NC. All attractions are just a short drive away including the Great Smoke Mountains Railroad, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Cherokee, Nantahala National Forest, and the Nantahala Gorge with all of its rafting opportunities! Don't miss out book today!
