About this property

Cozy cabin in the Cherokee National Forest. Minutes from Hiwassee River.

Welcome to our tiny cabin! Our one bedroom cabin includes a queen bed, and a set of bunk beds in a separate, closed off nook. The living room has vaulted ceilings and a corner kitchen nook.

Enjoy your large fire pit looking at the stars with the soothing sounds of the forest around you. We provide all the firewood you will need for the fire pit and the wood burning stove for those cool nights.

The Hiwassee River is a 6-minute drive from the cabin. There you can rent kayaks or innertubes from a few outfitters and take a nice long float down the river. These outfitters are only open during seasonal times. You can also enjoy fishing along the river. There are many parks and picnic areas within 15 minutes of the cabin. Across from one of those parks is a short hike that has 4 separate waterfalls (Lowry Falls). People love this short hike.

One of our favorite things to do is to go back in time on the Hiwassee Loop Train Ride. The 50-mile ride takes about 5 hours. You will get to hear the history of the train and the towns it passes through. The railroad was built in the1890's. The Beautiful views of the Hiwassee River Gorge are breathtaking.

If you want a peaceful place to just get away and relax for a while, we believe this cabin is going to be a place you will love.

This cozy cabin was packed with thoughtful amenities for humans and dogs. From s’mores fixings and firewood to dog bowls and snacks, they were thoughtfully prepared. Beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well-outfitted with everything we needed.

Property was great for a quick stay in the area. It was well stocked with coffee, tea, and items for making smores. Lots of fun activities around the property to keep you entertained. Phone signal is basically nonexistent so you may want to screenshot the codes, etc. prior to arrival. The wifi does work all over the property once connected so we had no issues staying connected afterwards. Host was extremely accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed to have a great stay. Hope to come back in the near future and stay longer.

This is going to be a different kind of review because I am going to focus on the nice "little touches"...and this cabin was filled with a lot of them. Yes, the listing is accurate, check-in was easy, communication with the host was great, and the cabin was just downright cozy and exactly what we wanted from a cabin in the woods. It was all of the extras, that truly delighted us including, hand lotion in the bathroom, shower amenities, lots of extra blankets for sitting by the fire, ingredients and tools to make s'mores, extra snacks on them, the milk frother, dog bowl and poop bags, ice already made in the fridge, and best of all restocking our fire pit on night two. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a cozy tiny cabin to stay in. ProTip: Pack small bags since it is a tiny cabin.

Adorable tiny cabin!

We stayed one night in between other locations on a longer trip and it was perfect. Peaceful area, pretty drive in to the cabin and the cabin was a great example of a well done tiny home. We left with some inspiration for future building plans of our own!

We rented this cabin for thanksgiving, it is absolutely in my top 5 favorites of all places I have rented , to include apartments in Italy, and quaint rentals all over Europe , as well as in Central America. This place is small with amazing detail, the hosts have thought of everything, to include a s’mores bar for the outside fire pit. Their thoughtfulness shows in every corner of this precious cabin. It may be small but it housed a total of 8 guest for thanksgiving dinner and we all enjoyed it. There were 4 of us the first two nights and three the last night, it felt cozy and warm but never cramped. Thank you so much. I hope we get to stay again. It was lovely.
