This is a unique vacation home located within feet of Snowbird Creek. Fishing access is literally out the back door. However, the creek runs with its soothing sounds whether you fish or not. The rear covered deck can offer hours of relaxation.
There is an open wood burning fireplace for those cool Fall and Winter nights. The house has central heat and air conditioning and all rooms have ceiling fans. Modern conveniences are here with none of the urban intrusions. The master bedroom has a king-size bed while there is a queen in the other. While being secluded, there is a paved road leading to the circular drive with an attached carport.
This is truly an area for the enjoyment of nature. Joyce Kilmer-Slickrock Wilderness Area boasts of over 60 miles of hiking trails within 14,000 acres. Trout fishing is some of the best in the state with numerous cold water streams near by. Lake Santeetlah, within five miles, has bass, walleye, and other species within its 2800 acres and offers the boater an outlet too.
The owners welcome the many bikers who vacation in our area. For a description of the many biking experiences visit Ride the "Dragon" @ Deals Gap. We have a covered garage to protect your equipment.
The Cherohala Skyway is a limited access highway extending 43 miles between Robbinsville and Tellico, Tennessee and follows the ridge-tops for breathtaking, undisturbed scenery.
If none of this appeals to you, then you can just kick back, relax and enjoy your surroundings. We won't bother you. We're proud of our corner of the state and encourage you to come take a look to see what you've been missing.

Why the Owner Chose Robbinsville
We love the Snowbird area. I am from Robbinsville and love the small town feel. I just knew other people would love this area too. It is so quiet and peaceful and at the same time, one can be busy with area attractions too.
The Unique Benefits at this House
I enjoy just having "deck time" and reading while enjoying the creek. I also enjoy hiking and walking in this beautiful area.

Great Vacation Home

We thoroughly enjoyed our month in this wonderful home on the creek. The listing so accurately portrayed the home and the owner should be very proud of this property. We would certainly recommend this home to friends and family. Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest is a beautiful serene park and the hike was so very peaceful. We saw waterfalls near Franklin and Highlands and on the Tellico River. There are plenty of hiking opportunities in the Smokies. The "dragon's tail" and Cherohala Skyway should not be missed. We saw deer, plenty of rabbits, wild turkeys, and even had a possum visit the garbage can!
Recommended for:Adventure seekers, age 55+, sightseeing.
Snowbird Creek Contry Home

This place is the ultimate home-away-from-home!!! Ann has provided everything you can imagine plus many things you can't even imagine! This home is spotless and so cozy ~ I felt at home right away! I especially enjoyed the wonderful creek bubbling just a few feet from the deck. I was able to make many day trips to places like Cades Cove, Cherahala Skyway, Joyce Kilmer Memorial Park, the wonderful train ride out of Bryson City, Cherokee and Gatlinburg, plus many visits to Great Smoky Mountain National Park. I found Sherry at the Visitor Center in Robbinsville to be very helpful in planning my outings. A grocery store also in Robbinsville is handy for any last minute needs. I hope to return again soon to visit these mountains, creeks, and this fantastic home.l Thanks to Ann and Mike for their caring and support.

This cabin is perfect!

When we opened the door to this wonderful cabin, we thought we must have been in the wrong place! The cabin is much more quaint, comfortable and complete than the pictures on this site convey. The furniture and TV have been updated. The home is decorated with a country cabin theme and artwork throughout. The kitchen is equipped with every pot, pan and utensil you could possibly need. Even the little things that are often lacking in rental properties, such as shower heads that are high enough and adequate water pressure, were available in this home. We fished in the rushing creek, cooked on the propane grill and enjoyed romantic fires in the wood-burning fireplace while we curled up on the couch and watched dvd's on the flat screen TV. We plugged our Ipod into the speakers provided, checked in with the office on the free wifi and fed birds in the backyard with seed that the owners keep stocked in the pantry. We went outside at night to enjoy the incredible star filled sky and the sound of the creek and crickets. In the daytime, we packed picnic lunches (there is a cooler in the pantry) to take with us while we explored the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest, rented a boat on Lake Santeetlah and went fishing on various creeks, rivers and streams. We didn't visit any restaurants because it was much more enjoyable to just buy groceries and cook in the cabin. A grocery store is conveniently located just a short drive into town. NOTE, however, that this cabin is in a DRY county so if you like a glass of beer or wine in the evening, be sure and bring some with you. There are games, puzzles, cds, dvds, books, magazines, and even two snuggly bathrobes in the master bedroom closet. Our bed and pillows were so comfortable that we slept late every morning. The cabin is in a very private setting but easy to get to. The views from the front and back of the cabin are nothing but trees (filled with brilliant fall colors during our stay) and the rushing creek. It was everything that we were looking for in a great, relaxing vacation.
Recommended for:Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, adventure seekers, age 55+, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children.
