About this property
Family Friendly Getaway in a Classic Cozy Log Cabin
Skiing season is here and forever memories await at this classic cozy creekside log cabin in Waynesville, NC. Tube World (9 miles) and Cataloochee Ski Area (12 miles) are the main attraction with day/night skiing available featuring a new ski lift and Tube World that is fun for all ages. Centrally located near Maggie Valley (4 miles) and Lake Junaluska (7 miles) as well as the Great Smoky National Park. Various levels of hikes for all ages, shopping, kayaking, excellent fishing, fair grounds, local breweries, all year round family friendly activities and so much more are all within reach. Relax after your outdoor adventure with a fire, bbq and front porch swinging while listening to the sounds of the creek flowing next to you all year long. Take a day trip to downtown Asheville which is just a short 35 minute drive (34 miles), or try you’re luck at Harrahs Cherokee Casino only 30 minutes away (23 miles). All bedrooms and full bath are upstairs while 1/2 bath, dining room, living room, kitchen and laundry are downstairs. There are 6 steps on the porch to the front door as well as 5 steps in the back to access the backyard. Due to parts of the gravel drive being steep, motorcycles are not permitted. 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive may be necessary in winter weather. Driveway has room for 3 vehicles and does not accommodate RV’s, motorcycles, lowered vehicles or trailers of any kind. We have one camera on the front porch and one camera on the back porch both facing away from the house. Both will be on during your stay for your safety but will not be viewed unless an issue is brought to our attention.
