Come for a lovely, quiet vacation in the beautiful NC Smokey mountains. A beautiful cabin awaits you. Relaxation at its' best! Read on!
Looking for all the amenities and beauty of a mountain cabin without having to drive on dirt roads and be isolated? Moose Crossing Cabin is the place for you! Just minutes from quiet, quaint 'downtown' Andrews, this cabin is beautifully decorated for your comfort and privacy. Situated on a quiet, residential street high above the town, the cabin's front porch view is of the gorgeous northern mountains across the valley. Side porch overlooks a garden area with flowers (seasonally!) and bird feeders. Covered porches with rocking chairs, dining table & arm chairs for your comfort no matter the weather. A 10' X 18' open deck is on the back of the cabin with charcoal grill, chaise lounge, table, umbrella and four chairs, two faux wicker arm chairs. Cabin backs up to Leatherwood mountain, a beautifully forested and undeveloped area.
Ideally suited for two persons, bedroom features queen bed, firm mattress and 'faux' featherbed for the ultimate night's sleep. Room darkening drapes and wooden blinds. Robes and slippers provided for your comfort. Window A/C, ceiling paddle fan. Additional entrance door from side porch. All linens provided. You will find your bed made with ironed luxurious sheets! If needed, the LR sofa is full sized (not a pull-out) and a twin size fold-out bed with mattress and featherbed is available. Cabin is small and designed with two person occupancy in mind, but if all are adaptable it will sleep four.
Kitchen is small,located within the living room but fully equipped with everything you could possibly want. Upon arrival you will find your refrigerator stocked with breakfast items! Coffee, tea, hot chocolate mix, creamer, sugar, sweeteners, orange juice, milk, cereals, fresh fruit, home-made jelly, English muffins, fresh eggs, waffles, pancakes, pure maple syrup, pre-cooked bacon, sausage, butter and spreads! Arrive ready to relax without worrying about grocery shopping for the morning! Definitely not your ordinary rental cabin!
Living room features cathedral ceiling, ceiling paddle fan/light, window A/C, French doors looking out onto your front porch and the mountains across the valley. Curtains swing away from the doors for a mountain view from inside. A very comfortable sofa and a Lane rocker-recliner. 32" flat screen TV located on the fireplace mantle. Free secure wireless internet access! You won't find that amenity in another local rental! All necessary items for fireplace are provided; dry wood, starter, fatwood sticks, matches, etc. Please see website for more photos and information!
Your hostess resides in the small home located in front and to the side of Moose Crossing Cabin. Cabin has private driveway. I assure you your privacy! However, I am available in the evenings should a guest have a question, concern or want additional information regarding local sights. Some renters feel more secure knowing someone is available nearby should an emergency or unusual event occur. I am CPR certified and have over 40 years experience in the medical field.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Originally, I'm from Connecticut. During the 80's I lived in Andrews up in a 'holler' and never had the gorgeous view I now enjoy. I then relocated to FL for 15 years and in 1999 decided I had to have another home in Andrews. I purchased 'this old house' and have had extensive improvements done. The 'Moose' was originally a single room over the workshop. I designed and decorated the cabin as it now exists and enjoyed watching it being built in 2007. The view of the northern mountains is breath-taking! I have thoroughly enjoyed all the comments from my guests, many of whom have become my friends.
I work full-time as Radiology Director in a hospital in GA and am away from my home at least ten hours a day. My guests have total privacy, but like knowing I am here in the evenings should they have a problem or question. I have two 'inside' dogs who were hard-luck stories but have adapted to being spoiled house-dogs very quickly!
I have traveled extensively throughout the USA as well as foreign countries and have never found a more beautiful place to live than right here in Andrews, NC.

If you do not stay here you are missing two things. 1 You will never know the good time you will have at Moose Crossing 2 You will never meet the most wonderful people in this world. Pat and her family are very helpfull in every aspect from getting directions to the cabin to helping you plan day trips to other places. My wife and I along with our puppy stayed a week at Moose Crossing and the only regret we had was we had to leave. If you are looking for a great place to stay this is it.
Owner response:How sweet of you! Thank you, Joe, Edie and "Buttons"!!

We could not have asked for a better cabin or a better host! From all the breakfast items that Pat had stocked for us to just being able to sit on the porch rocking our cares away. We really enjoyed exploring Andrews, Murphy, and we loved the awesome view at the highest lookout in the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest. We will definately be back!
Owner response:My greatest satisfaction is knowing guests have enjoyed themselves! Thank you!

This place is so nice & clean. I love moose so I fell in love with this cabin. Pat has it decorated so nicely & there are moose everywhere. I LOVED it! The bed was so nice as well as having a porch to grill out. We will be back! Hopefully in the Fall. Pat is very nice & we enjoyed meeting the dogs & seeing the cats. You can not go wrong with this place.

My husband and I just stayed in this cozy cabin for one week. And we were simply awestruck with this place. The cabin has everything you could possibly need. Pat stocks the fridge with all kinds of breakfast goodies and the bed sheets are super soft and comfy (she even irons them for you!) In the bathroom there's towels,shampoo/conditioner, toothpaste and a first aide kit. It was truly a home away from home. And the best part is Pat herself. You couldnt possibly find a nicer, good hearted person. She treated us like old friends instead of just paying guests! There's also a great wrap around porch with rocking chairs and a grill (we used it a lot). Down below is a place for an outside fire and a hammock. Oh and there's also a fireplace inside which we loved to use when the temperature dropped outside. It's just awesome! And the little town of Andrews was just what we wanted. It's not totally isolated from everything so anything you might need from a grocery store or drug store is there but no Walmart. But if you must have a Walmart there is one only minutes away. And the Nantahala River and lake are just a few minutes away and what an absolutely gorgeous place! It was Spring when we went and the smell of that fresh air and being by the river was just perfect! We even went whitewater rafting with NOC on the Nantahala and we highly recommend it for first timers like us. They do go to other rivers with more rapids so that'll be on the to-do list for next year. Plus the Smoky Mountains are just a few more minutes down the road with its waterfalls and trails. We also got to go to this cute little pottery place called Pincu Pottery in Bryson City and work with Elise and make our own pottery and we even got to work on a potter's wheel! Really Cool!! If you like driving and curvy roads then Hwy 129 is a must drive in the Smoky's. There are 318 curves in just 11 miles! It's called the Tail of the Dragon and is very popular. Plus you also get to see the Cheoah Dam that was in the 1993 Harrison Ford movie "The Fugitive". I could go on and on. If anyone would like to contact me with any questions please don't hesitate. You can reach me at josafatsjoy@gmail.com. I also have some really good photos of the place if you're interested in seeing a few more. So with all of that said you can definitely count on us coming back as soon as we can. I already have a sister that is planning to come and stay at Pat's place. Thanks again Pat for everything! xoxo Joy and Joe

My wife and I just finished a week at the Moose and we must tell you it was hard to leave. Pat is a wonderful host who really knows the ‘give and take’ of managing a rental unit.From the well stocked fridge to lots of wood for the fire pit and fireplace; the free wireless was the icing on the cake. The cabin itself fit like comfy slippers the whole week long. How can you not love finishing the evening with roasting marshmallows over a fire in the cabin’s well used fireplace.We can not say enough good things about Pat, her knowledge of the surrounding area and her guidance was a wonderful bonus. The local horseback riding on the actual ‘Trail of Tears’ through Horseshoe Creek Riding Stables (a must) was great. Then ending the week with hand written directions for a fun filled trip to the John C. Campbell Folk School Fall Festival was great. Overall the cabin was perfect for the two of us and we certainly have this place bookmarked as one we would love to come back to again.

The "Moose" is fabulous. The cabin itself is luxurious, and very high quality. The furnishings and amenities are the same. The cabin is eqipped with everything you could possibly need, and more. No detail has been overlooked. The porches and back deck are great, and the mountain views spectacular. I have stayed in this area many times and other places in the U.S. and foreign countries. This is the nicest by far. I have been here two weeks and the time has gone by way too fast. Pat, your hostess, is a wonderful person who is there to answer any question or request, but gives you total privacy. She has become a true friend. You will not be disappointed..you are going to LOVE it.

We absolutely love this place! Spent two weeks October '08 for our fall Smokey trip. From the front porch, we actually watched the colors change daily. It was wonderful. We've already booked for October '09. Pat is a friend now. She goes above and beyond with her guests. We have rented throughout the area for many years, so we know GREAT when we experience it! Love you, Pat...

What a gem of a Cabin! Your host makes sure your stay is a pleasant one. All the things you need to feel like this is your home away from home. And what a plus to be able to bring your four footed friends to enjoy the scenery with you. We can't say enough...we highly recommend Moose Crossing Cabin!

My wife and I have stayed here on three different occasions. We have found the accommodations to be excellent. The cabin is somewhat cozy, but the rates are so reasonable. And Pat is a wonderfully gracious host. The mountain view from the covered porch is fabulous, the (seemingly) dozens of birdfeeders throughout the yard are additional fine viewing entertainment, and the birds certainly sing up a storm. Oodles of room on the porch, a very comfy queen bed, always delectable breakfast goodies! We make a point to bring a laptop, the free wifi is a major bonus!! Great restaurants close by! We will definitely make plans to return!!!
