About this property

Stay at one of the most unique and stunning vacation rentals in the Smoky Mountains! The "Appalachian Container Cabin" is a modern tiny home with an unparalleled view overlooking the Appalachian Trail, built out of shipping containers, and was recently featured on the new HGTV/DIY show "Containables". The cabin is located at the end of private road deep within the Nantahala National Forest, but located conveniently between Franklin, North Carolina and Clayton, Georgia.

The interior of this modern cabin is thoughtfully designed and includes one queen bed and three bunk beds. It's well designed for a couple with small kids. If you have more than one couple, the sleeping space will be the limiting factor. An additional person could sleep comfortably on the couch or you could camp outside on the deck or by the firepit.

Perfect getaway!

The cabin was perfect for our stay. The views are magnificent. We loved hanging out on the deck or at the firepit. It is also conveniently located to many activities. I loved the small historic districts of the nearby towns. Nick was the perfect host and answered all our questions immediately. I highly recommend this cabin!

Incredible views, lovely cabin!

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful property! The top deck is perfect for stargazing, and the view is beautiful no matter what time of day. It is true, we did spend most of our time on the back patio just looking at the beautiful mountains! Nick provided great recommendations as well- we went to Julep Farms for brunch (just amazing!) and hung out at Highlands the rest of the day. It was well communicated to us, but the road leading up to the property was pretty steep but nothing we couldn't handle. Also communicated to us- no service on the mountain but plenty of wifi. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone, but would be perfect for a couple.

Why they chose this property

There are a lot of beautiful places in the Appalachian mountains, but one of the most amazing views is just out your back door. You can watch a thunderstorm roll through over the Appalachian trail in the distance, enjoy a blazing sunset after dinner, gaze at the Milky Way and brilliant stars at night, roast marshmallows by the fire or enjoy a hike through our 100 year hardwood forest on top of our mountain.
