Spacious Mountain Cabin in the Woods

If you've ever dreamed of experiencing the natural peace and quiet book your stay at this lovely cabin-style home. The cabin sits on 35 gorgeous wooded acres in the North Carolina mountains, near the Tennessee border.

Three levels of living space in this cabin lets your group spread out and enjoy a little privacy, as well as togetherness and socializing. On the main level you're welcomed by a large and open great room with cathedral ceilings, a stone fireplace, a big flatscreen TV and lots of comfortable seating. The open floorplan provides great flow, joining the living area with the huge kitchen and two dining tables – one seating 4 guests and the other accommodating another 6. The big, open kitchen is beautifully equipped with stainless appliances, granite counters, seating at the island bar, and all the dining accessories you need for entertaining or family meals at home.

The great room opens directly onto the wide rocking chair porch, where you can enjoy the beauty of nature all around you, as well as long-range mountain views. This porch has a hammock as well as plenty of seating – another wonderful area for conversation or peaceful solitude.

Two bedrooms are also located on the main level. The shared full bath includes a large jetted tub, as well as a walk-in shower.

The lower level offers a second living area with a cozy wood stove, another flatscreen TV, and a ping pong area. This is the perfect spot for family fun. A charming barn door slides open to reveal another bedroom with a queen bed, a bunk bed with full size bottom and twin size top and a bathroom. This lower level opens to its own covered patio with direct access to the lawn, which is large and flat – great for games, Frisbee, or just running around. There's also a fire pit, so you can close out your adventure around a campfire, roasting marshmallows and gazing in amazement at the canopy of stars above.

For more private sleeping areas, head up to the top level, where there's a loft with a futon, plus an additional upstairs bedroom with two full beds and one twin.

When you're ready to get away from it, The Gathering Place is perfect for you, your friends and your whole family.

Beautiful mountain location
This was a great family trip. The house is beautiful and very large with lots of room. The view is spectacular and very private. The drive up to the home is gravel and up so you definitely need a vehicle that can climb but it is worth it once you get up there. We will book it again.
