"MY CABIN IN THE MOUNTAINS" We want you to consider our cabin, to be "YOUR VERY OWN, CABIN IN THE MOUNTAINS". Located in the Great Smoky Mountains, the cabin sits in the middle of the Nantahala National Forest. Only two hours north of downtown Atlanta(GA) and just over the GA/NC state line, the cabin is perfect for couples who are looking for an out-of-the way retreat that's not too far out-of-the way. The cabin would also be perfect for the family that wants their next vacation to be an unforgettable.
As you walk inside the cabin, to your right is the fully-appointed Kitchen, with: stove (gas), oven (electric), pots & pans, utensils, microwave oven, coffee maker, toaster, electric can opener, double sink (w/garbage disposal), automatic dishwasher, and full-size refrigerator/freezer. Also to your right, sitting off the Kitchen are the washer and dryer. To your left as you walk in is the Dining Area. Straight ahead of you is the Living Room where you'll find a beautiful floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and hearth. Past the fireplace and to your right is the Master Bedroom with a king-size bed, a closet, and a full Bathroom. Beyond the Living Room are the stairs that take you to the Loft where you'll find two twin beds, a dresser w/mirror, a closet, and a full Bathroom.
OUTSIDE: Outside the front door, is the deck which runs down the left side of the cabin and continues across the front, ending at the carport. The carport area and front porch are all covered.
"MY CABIN IN THE MOUNTAINS" is located in the small community of Otto, NC. Otto lies between: Clayton & Dillard(GA) to the South, and Franklin(NC) to the North. And just to the East of Otto is Highlands(NC). There are two great advantages to the cabin's specific location. First, you have many outdoor activities and destinations of interest close by and in nearly every direction. (i.e., white-water rafting, river tubing, trail hiking, fly fishing, gem mining, mountain biking, antiquing, snow skiing, and of course leaf peeping in the Fall.) And second, you are well outside the reach of any sprawling city.
The cabin is just a mile off of a 4-lane divided highway (US 23/441). And that short mile between the highway and the cabin is a paved asphalt road except for the last 100 yards--which is gravel.
Finally, we want to be sure to mention that "We", who are your hosts and owners live just down a short gravel road from the cabin. So if you ever have any problems or questions, we're close by and happy to help. "We", are Sonny and Harvalyn Elam.

Map & Owner's Profile
"My Cabin in the Mountains". . . Very Quiet, Very Relaxing.
Year Purchased: 2000
Why the Owner Chose Franklin
We just enjoy this area. And we enjoy everything about the mountains.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
This area is very quiet and really peaceful. Consequently, it's easy to relax and recharge.
We hope you'll get a chance while you're here to walk up this scenic, and fairly private hiking trail.
Goggle Maps shows a 2nd road here off of Wallalieu Gap just past Swiss Village Rd. But we can assure you that there is NO OTHER ROAD HERE. We hope this doesn't cause you confusion.
