About this property

Gated Mountain Cabin, Hot Tub & Game Room

Escape to a peaceful, private mountain retreat near Nantahala National Forest, Cherokee Casino, and Fireside Creek. Tucked at the end of the road in a small gated community, this 3-bedroom cabin (2BR + loft) sleeps 8 across 3 baths, surrounded by forest and quiet.

Soak in the hot tub, gather around the fire pit, or roast s'mores at the porch fire table. Hike right from the community to a mountaintop summit for breathtaking sunrise views — no car required.

Open-concept cabin with high ceilings. The main floor features two bedrooms, each with a queen bed and its own private full bathroom — ideal for couples or families wanting their own space. Upstairs, the second-story loft offers flexible space with two full-size beds tucked into a built-in alcove with privacy curtains, plus a queen sofa bed, a designated workspace, and a third full bath.

The wraparound porch includes seating, a dining area, the hot tub, and its own fire table for s'mores. A second fire pit sits just below the cabin, tucked into the surrounding trees. The property is part of a small, gated community with direct trail access to a mountain summit.

Inside, you'll also find:

* Foosball table, darts and board games for game nights
* Cozy fireplace in the open living area
* Tesla-compatible EV charger (Type 2 adapter available)
* High-speed Fiber Optic Wi-Fi
* Dedicated workspace, ideal for remote work

Just 10 minutes to Harrah's Cherokee Casino, 10 minutes to downtown Murphy's shops and dining, 15 minutes to Hiwassee Lake, and 17 minutes to Erlanger hospital.
