Excellent place to unwind. Wish we had more time to spend here, very quiet and relaxing. We used only the master bedroom and had plenty of room. I would highly recommend!!!
A great place to stay to experience a “high up mountain” Log Cabin. The owner is very attentive to all the little details of this house rental which is appreciated.. There is no dishwasher or washer & dryer as part of an updated and nice kitchen but the overall value of the rental minimizes this if you are a short term house guest. If you want to experience 3600 feet up and into the mountains you will love this rental. Owner is very responsive to text messages. When you leave your stay here, you will appreciate being away from it all!!! (Do suggest keeping the gas barbecue new and a bigger updated version such as a Weber GS2) If the outdoor fire pit is permitted in the County it would be helpful to offer a supply of logs at a reasonable cost. The pit needs new up dated chairs and the rocks fixed.
This cabin was all that my husband and I hoped for in a getaway for our annivesary! Lisa is the most thoughtful host that we have ever had and the cabin is all that is listed and more! The peace and quiet was so needed and this cabin offers it like nowhere we have ever stayed. I highly recommend Balsam View cabin! You will not be disappointed. Comfy beds, clean and well stocked. It checked all the boxes.
It was perfect as I was hoping. It was the first time in a cabin rental. It was exactly what I needed and couldn't have been better. I need to come back when the weather is better so I can enjoy the outdoors more.
As described only better. Perfect cozy cabin. Everything you need is there and considered. Outlets for charging, nightstand lights, kitchen equipment, grill, coffee makers, blankets to snuggle on the sofa... The cabin is very clean, communication with owners is super easy. The view is amazing. Plenty to do near by. We went to Cherokee museum and culture center, bowling, hiking. Great weekend, well worth the money.
Beautiful location with fabulous views. Hosts were amazing, this cabin has everything you need. They answered every question we had. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to everyone!!!
My husband and I have stayed in this cabin several times prior to Mr & Mrs Ware purchasing it. The renovations done since our last stay are wonderful. My stay here for the past few days has really helped my soul. Thank you, Lisa & Chuck!!!
We had a wonderful stay at the mountain cabin. We are still talking about it. Cabin was great and had everything we could have wanted. The views were spectacular and the wildlife made it all the better.
I absolutely love this cabin. The location is spectacular. The owners are the best! It’s the only place I’ve returned to and can’t wait to get back there in the future.

About the host
Hosted by Lisa Ware
My husband and I love Western North Carolina. We enjoy hiking, gardening and Saturday morning farmers markets in Sylva and Franklin. There is so much to do in Western North Carolina and you are surrounded by nature. This is what we've always wanted and dreamed of to live in the mountains!
Why they chose this property
We always wanted an authentic log cabin and this one is amazing due to the high quality craftsmanship of the cabin. This cabin is 'one of a kind' due to the long range mountain view and elevation at 3,600 feet. Also, the covered front porch with rocking chairs is pure serenity! If you want peace, tranquility and time to get away from it all~~then this is the cabin for you!
What makes this property unique
This cabin is special for many reasons!!! Real log cabin; Modern Blaze electric fireplace; vaulted ceilings; outside fire pit facing the mountain; backyard picnic table with grill; hiking trails from the cabin; surrounded by nature! Wild turkeys frequent the property and are very entertaining to watch from the front porch. You will not only relax at this cabin, but you will go home and want to return again and again!
