You are invited to come and relax at Yellow Branch Cabin, our mountain cabin, recently renovated for your vacation rental pleasure. Here you can enjoy the natural environment, snooze or read in the swing on the front deck, immerse yourself in the hot tub on the back deck, or just listen to the soothing mountain tranquility.

Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, one with a king size bed and one with a twin size bed, with a full bath located in the middle of the two.

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is just to the north with scenic drives to Fontana Lake and Dam, Cades Cove and the Ocanuluftee Visitor Center just minutes away. A short drive brings you to Cherokee where you can visit Indian museums, go shopping for native crafts, enjoy the outdoor drama "Unto These Hills" or visit the casinos. A scenic drive beyond Cherokee takes you to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, TN. Or travel to Ashville, NC, (about one hour away) to the beautiful Biltmore House and experience America’s largest home surrounded by inspiring gardens, America's most-visited winery, and the interpretive River Bend Farm.
Nearby is the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad for an old time scenic ride or dinner train, the Cheoah, Nantahala or Tuckasegee Rivers for up to Class IV+ whitewater rafting or milder "rafting with the kids", three horseback riding stables and the Tsali Recreation Area where you can go mountain biking in the Nantahala National Forest.
For the hiker, the Appalachian Trail is only 5 miles away at Stecoah Gap. From there you can go south to Nantahala Gorge or north to Clingman's Dome, the highest point on the AT in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.
For the boaters and fisherman, Santeetlah Lake offers fishing, canoeing, kayaking and picnicking just two miles away on a lake that has a shoreline that is 80% undeveloped. A wide variety of fish including smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, walleye, crappie, bream and lake trout can be caught. A marina offers fuel, bait, tackle, boat rentals, equipment rentals, boat launching, and dock space.
For those that enjoy driving or cycling on challenging roads, the famous Tail of the Dragon at Deal's Gap is just 18 miles north, the scenic Cherohala Skyway starts just two miles to the west and you can jump on the southern end of the famous Blue Ridge Parkway in less than an hour.
