Year Purchased: 1974
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
The view from our porch looks northwest at Mt Lynn Lowrey. At night, lights illuminate a 60-foot-high cross placed at the peak of Mount Lynn Lowry. The cross and Mt. Lynn Lowry are both dedicated to General Lowery’s daughter Lynn who died of leukemia at the age of 16. The cross was dedicated by evangelist Billy Graham in 1965. The entrance to the Blue Ridge parkway is a 5 minute ride from the cabin & Maggie Valley, Waynesville & Asheville are all close by.
Owner's Map of Balsam
Our Cabin in Balsam, NC has been in our family since 1974. It sits on a ridge line, which gives it a nice mountain breeze, looking at Mt Lynn Lowrey. Hiking, rafting/tubing, golfing, shopping & relaxing on the porch in a rocking chair are our favorite things to do. In 2002 we added a new porch, a sun room, and 2 bedrooms + a bathroom. We have had wonderful family vacations and great memories of our time in Balsam. Our cabin is great for large families or for multiple families to vacation together.

A Splendid Visit

Thank you for sharing your wonderful mountain home. We (seven ladies that needed a little R&R) truly enjoyed staying at “Summit Splendor.” As soon as we stepped into the house we became very nostalgic. The fireplace, the sun room and the wonderful huge round dining room table provided a special place to remember old times and make new memories! Everything we were looking for was provided – privacy, great views, close proximity to many things to do and see, and a spacious, cozy home with all the amenities. As for the outside, we so enjoyed the rocking chairs and the beautiful, NC mountain view from the back porch. It is a great place to read a book, share a meal or just hang out and enjoy the mountain air. The location is great for nature walks. We found an old wooden bridge and a beautiful mountain stream. What an awesome place to get away and relax. We look forward to our next visit.

Summit Splendor was a great location for our extended family vacation. The cabin comfortably accommodated 7 adults, 3 kids and 3 dogs, with parking for 3 vehicles. The cabin was clean and well equipped, and offers great views of nearby mountains. Nearby summer attractions include golf courses, aquatic activities (including the rock slide near Brevard), hiking and driving on the Blue Ridge Parkway and Smokey Mountains National Park. A day trip to Biltmore was well worthwhile - discount tickets are available online for advance purchase. Grocery stores are available in Sylva or Waynesville.

A Hidden Gem

This place is a hidden gem! Every morning the adults would sip coffee on the long wide porch in rocking chairs while the kids hogged the indoor tv watching cartoons. The view was amazing, and we spent as much time outside as we could. We grilled on the deck, played cards on the deck, and ate dinner on the deck. We tubed at the Smokey Mountain National Park twice and loved the freezing cold mountain water on a hot summer’s day. The place was perfect for our large family with lots of kids and a dog. Thank you David for making our family vacation wonderful!

Our family, a group of 13, stayed a week at Summit Splendor. It was wonderful! The house offers plenty of space for a large group and comfortable beds. The view is amazing and the constant mountain breeze was nice. The location was key, being central to most everything you want to do while in the Smokies. Would definitely recommend this house to anyone wanting to get a way!
