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!
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!
