This unique mountain home has a fantastic view of the blue ridge mountains and is nestled in a forest canopy with a private nature trail, a roaring creek running through the back yard and a children's play area in the woods. There is also a log bridge to your own personal island in the woods surrounding a fire pit beautifully lit at night. The home is modern yet rustic and meticulously clean.

If you are used to staying in classy hotels or homes you will feel right at home here. The house is impeccably clean, well organized, has comfortable rustic furniture, quality towels and linens, a fully stocked kitchen will all the appliances and much more.

This is not one of those "dirt roads, twisting, looking over the side of a road - scary drives" in the mountains. The home is easy to get to any time of year with paved access all the way to the driveway.

We are located within 30 minutes to a Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrance, 35 minutes to Cataloochee Valley elk viewing, 35 minutes from artsy Asheville, 20 minutes from the Cataloochee ski resort and snow tubing, 20 minutes to the blue ridge parkway with views up to 6,000 feet, 25 minutes from Cherokee Indian reservation, 1 hour from Gatlinburg, 30 minutes to the Casino and much, much more.

We are truly in love with the area and are more than happy to help with any details of your visit including nature activities (hiking, rafting, etc..), restaurants, recommendations and more. We would love to help you plan a perfect trip around your family's time and desires.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I love to help!

Enjoyed our extra long weekend

We really enjoyed our stay and the kids loved the backyard area. The firepit was probably our favorite spot at the house. The owner was easy to get in contact with and responded promptly to a couple questions we had. Make sure you write down the door code before you get to the house. We didn’t and one of us had to drive down until we had phone service so we could pull up VRBO and access our reservation.

Thank you Ms. Kate !

My family and I had such a great time. The house is beautiful and well maintained as is the huge lot its built on. The backyard is so cool with the creek and firepit. We got to meet Ms. Kate at checkout and she was so kind and understanding of our predicament ( car repair taking longer than expected ) . As no one was checking in that night she let us stay a little extra Saturday morning. The combination of Mr. Zach and familys love and pride in ownership with Ms. Kate's pride and abilty to keep the same beauty for all their guests, made for a great week. The Curtis Family P.S. Thanks again Ms.Kate !

Amazing family trip!!

We always wanted to stay in a cabin…this cabin was perfect!! The grandkids, 6 yrs (girl) and 11 yr (boy) said they want to come back to “their apartment” with log beds downstairs!!! This is how they described their room…😂We hardly heard them or saw them unless we were going somewhere. They had two friends staying nearby and they came over to play outside, sit by the fire pit and roast marshmallows and could not get enough of the ninja courses and little bridges!!! They told their parents we want to stay here. The parents said, no to that, but, told them we could plan another trip up here and see if we could stay in this wonderful cabin…the kids loved thst idea! Our family saw elk (close up)…hiked so many different trails nearby and in Black Mountain. We have the most beautiful photos, met very nice people and ate at so many restaurants and had gorgeous weather!! We cannot say enough about the location, cabin, the grounds, fire pit and beautiful swing and chairs!! The creek was so mesmerizing and peaceful!! Zachary, you and your wife, obviously had a vision and the happiness, laughter and excitement of mountain life your location provided our family was so heartfelt and I appreciate your attention to detail and all the suggestions you and your wife provided were great and most appreciated!!! thank you😎

Awesome location and beautiful area for the grandkids to play

We had a wonderful stay and loved the house, it was nice to arrive and have paper goods, snacks and coffee available to us right away. Loved the view, location and beautiful cascading water down the mountain behind the house with play area for the kids. We had a human error while at the house and the owner was available and most helpful through the process of figuring out what we did and how to get the hot water flowing again. THANK YOU!

Incredible Cabin Perfect Location

Perfect Cabin. Top Notch. Communication with Zachary was impeccable. We spent a lot of time outside by the creek, ninja course, play area and exploring around. At night the creek is beautiful. The sound is incredible. It was not a scary drive up the mountain at all and you could do it without a four-wheel drive. Perfect location. The cabin has everything you could think of. They have truly thought of it all. Our dog was so comfortable and happy. We did not want to leave. We are already thinking of our next trip and a return to this beautiful property. Thank you for allowing us to have wonderful memories and experience our family trip at your cabin. Its truly perfect in every way. You have put a lot of thought and love into the home, you can tell!

About the host

Hosted by Zachary G.

Family man. Nature lover. Explorer. I currently reside in South Florida and we only (unfortunately) use the house in the Summer.

Why they chose this property

I went to camp in North Carolina when I was 10 years old. I dreamed from that age of owning a vacation home in the mountains one day. After searching for five years we found this amazing home and put a lot of love into it and are happy to share with you.

What makes this property unique

The quality of everything is impeccable. It is a very unique lot that has a private woods in the back yard with a beautiful creek. We built a walkway and bridge to an island that has a firepit. We built a nature trail through the woods and a really cool kids rustic playground area.
