Sticks and Stones - Serene cabin with Heat & A/C in Almond, NC, near Bryson City
On 2 wooded acres near a pond for fishing, swimming or kayaking in Almond, NC, this fantastic cabin offers a peaceful retreat for guests seeking to go a bit off grid and enjoy nature. Inside, you’ll find one large bedroom with a new king bed and the access to the full bathroom. A cozy living room featuring a twin trundle bed and a gas fireplace, is combined with the fully stocked kitchen and eating area. Heat and air conditioning keeps the space comfortable year-round.

About the host
Hosted by Faith Bryant
Originally from Iowa, surrounded by flat farmlands, we have a deep appreciation for mountains and water. We love driving down from our current home in TN to relax in this NC cabin we bought in May 2025. We are grateful to have it to share with guests who also want to take a break within nature.
Why they chose this property
The neighborhood pond is a beautiful spot within walking distance of our cabin and is a perfect place to sit on a bench and soak in the scenery, watching for fish, turtles or ducks. Or, you may bring your own gear to fish, swim or kayak.
What makes this property unique
This cozy cabin in a quiet, private space has a wraparound deck with rocking chairs to stargaze at night and look out at the woods during the day. Complete with its own path to a private, covered picnic area and a firepit, you won’t be short of seats to get away from it all.
