About this property

Smoky Mountain cabin 1 mile off Hwy 28 near Tail of the Dragon

The house was built in the 1940's and was newly remodeled in 2014. Fully paved driveway off of a 2 lane paved country road with covered parking and paved walkway to the front porch. Makes this a great spot for low profile sports cars and motorcycles (no gravel roads to deal with). It is also an excellent spot for nature enthusiasts, as you can sit on the porch and view wild ducks in the nearby creek, many species of native birds, squirrels and occasionally you may see a deer or other wildlife passing through. It is a cozy little spot with all the luxuries of home and modern accessories such as starlink internet and fire stick for streaming TV. The living room has nice leather seating with recliners on both sides of the couch. Kitchen is fully equipped with all the necessities to cook meals with. Includes gas grill in the covered carport, crockpot, blender, Keurig coffee maker and regular coffee maker and some coffee provided for both. Extra linens, blankets and quilts for beds, throw blankets, towels and wash clothes are provided. There is central heat and air in the downstairs. Also an electric fireplace in the living room. A split unit upstairs provides heat and air conditioning. Ceiling fans are located in both bedrooms as well. Large TV in upstairs bedroom with a Roku box for streaming. From the porch you can view the nearby creek, majestic mountains and the owners garden spot. Feel free to walk down and put your feet in the cool mountain water or gather some fresh veggies from the garden. A fire pit is provided in the side yard of the house with seating for 6 (we also provide firewood and starters so you don’t have to go out looking to buy your wood). There is a picnic table near the gas grill for some outdoor dining with amazing views. All you need to bring is your clothes and food. We can help provide some of those fresh fruits and veggies when they are in season. There is 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The bedroom on the main level has a King bed and the bathroom is connected, but has a separate entrance from utility room also. The upstairs bedroom is 2 full beds and 1 twin bed with a seating area and a deck with table and 2 chairs and a private entry. The bathroom has a huge walk in shower. Both bathrooms have lots of extra towels and wash clothes for your convenience. Extra linens are also provided for both bedrooms. The beds are all covered in very comfortable linens. It is located about 1 mile from beautiful Lake Fontana. It is in a central location to many area attraction and is short drive to the Tail of the Dragon, and just a short drive to Harrah's Casino, Cherohala Skyway, Great Smoky Mountain Railroad, Fontana Dam, Joyce Kilmer Natonal Forest where in early to mid June the Fireflies light up in unison, and numerous other attractions. The area is great for hiking, biking, motorcycling, lake fishing, fly fishing, boating, swimming, white water rafting or just relaxing. There is also some amazing places for photography here, as Graham County is one of North Carolina's most remote counties. There is a set of Corn Hole boards and a badminton set upon request. Our place is dog driendly but do require you to get prior approval before booking. Number of dogs is limited to 2 small type dogs.

Cozy cabin in a beautiful setting
My husband and I stayed the weekend, and had a great time. The cabin was clean and inviting with all the amenities we needed. Beds were comfortable, and we slept great! Great flow in the showers, which isnt always the case at other rentals! Would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Darrin & Sandi Lail

Host profile image
Darrin & I were both blessed to be born and raised in this beautiful place. We have one daughter Macy, who is a junior at Robbinsville High School. Darrin is a contractor & owns Lail's Construction. So if you visit here and decide that you just have to have a home built or maybe purchase one that needs some renovations done, no matter how big or small, you can contact him. We would like the chance to share this beautiful & amazing place with you & your family.

Why they chose this property

This house once belonged to distant relatives of mine, who all lived out of town, and came to visit as often as possible. With aging they were no longer able to enjoy it as they once had and with much sorrow to them decided to sell. They offered it to us and we decided to buy. It was bitter sweet to them as well as us. They are now very pleased with all the renovations that we made to the place and are happy that it ended up being kept in the family. Now it is already to be shared with you.

What makes this property unique

The house has an old fashioned feel to it, as it was originally built in the 1940's. During the renovation we wanted to keep that feel and took every measure possible to do so. It is nestled in the Great Smoky Mountains. In the morning you can walk outside and see the beauty of this area all around you, without every leaving your porch. It is a little piece of Heaven here on earth and we think you will agree once you visit us.
