Our "Following The River" log home is situated right on the bank of a long lazy curve of the Tuckasegee River. The Tuckasegee flows from Cherokee thru our lazy rustic town called Whittier. It continues heading west ,10 miles towards Bryson City. Our incredible river views extend in both directions for a one- mile unobstructed.
As a guest of FTR, you may Trout fish without a license, swim, raft, tube or simply lay back and gaze into an amazing mountain sunset view, all from our back yard. A Night time river side roaring fire pit and sleep over Teepee, adds to our guests joy.
Our FTR cabin was designed to accommodate the entertaining needs of a large family to gather and celebrate but is exclusive enough for a private intimate Executive get away. It is centrally located in the heart of the Smoky Mountain vacation area; a great place to lodge is just the start of this beautiful vacation home.
The FTR log home is impeccably decorated in Native American and antique decor. As you enter our log cabin, you are greeted by a log spiral staircase wrapping around a 20-foot maple tree branching up into the loft. Native slate floors and two gothic size native fieldstone fireplaces ground you in our rustic southern comfort.
French doors lead you out to a 500-square-foot, enclosed family room with open vaulted ceilings, a roaring gothic fire place and large windows overlooking the river bend. Our comfortable furniture, large dinning table and family games, invite you to stay awhile. Relax in our two person hammock, rock in our rocking chairs, and enjoy the amazing sunset. Create lasting memories in any season.
Our cabin's spacious gourmet designed custom-built kitchen is fully equipped with all the state-of-the-art appliances necessary to cook an amazing holiday meal. The Following The River cabin has all the comforts of your home-away-from-home, and then some.
Our cabin is equipped with two full bath rooms with unlimited hot water. Relax in our two person native slate jacuzzi tub experience.
SLEEPING: There are 3 private bedrooms, with additional sleeping accommodations in our loft and porch. 2 of the bedrooms have spacious King beds, the third a Full. Our Loft and Porch accommodations include queen-sized sofa sleepers both over looking our river. Overall, our cabin will sleep 10+ comfortably.

Amazing place to stay

I love going to this vacation spot! I have been several times over the years and always have a problem leaving! You have to see it to appreciate the pictures. It is close to everything without the hustle and bustle of staying in a city like Gatlinburg. If you want to relax and do things on your own time,or just lay in the hammock all day!, this is the place! It's not a corporation, it's family owned so it's much more cozier, like being at home. :) Love, love it!

A few years ago we traveled from Louisiana to Whittier on a much needed vacation. Our first impression is that the photos are just a hint of how awesome this property is. We were greeted with plenty of parking, the scenery of the river that runs behind the cabin is amazing and the fire pit was our favorite activity. Weather it was breakfast by the river or the sun setting on the river, the peaceful atmosphere and convenient amenities made it easy to relax and enjoy nature. This cabin is close to everything from the Smokey Mountain National Park, trails, rivers, restaurants, and other attractions unique to this area. We will definitely be coming back and hope to bring a few friends next time to share the experience. Our only complaint is that it was so hard to leave!
