Mountain High is a luxury 2-3 bedroom log cabin which can sleep up to 8 people(See rental options 1 & 2 below). It's perched high on Bear Cove Mountain just outside of Bryson City, North Carolina. The cabin has all the amenities and comforts of home plus a fantastic view of five mountain ranges and the Smoky Mountain Railroad in the valley below. The sunsets are awesome!
RENTAL OPTIONS:
Option 1: Maximum 6 people. Rent the main cabin with living and dining area, kitchen, 2 bedrooms (king size beds), 2 baths & 1 queen size sleeper sofa on the side porch. The loft bedroom has a scenic view of mountain ranges and the GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS. 52 inch LCD TV/Blu Ray DVD player over the Fireplace.
OPTION 2: Maximum 8 people. If you need more room, for $75 extra charge per night, rent our main cabin PLUS a new addition located below the main deck with its own outside entrance. The addition includes a 42in LCD TV with a queen size sleeper sofa, a full bath and bedroom with King size bed. These rooms have the same view as the main cabin and are great for those who might need additional sleeping space or privacy.
These additional rooms are available ONLY to the renter of the main cabin.
See ADDITIONAL RENTAL POLICIES below for details.
From the swing on the upper deck, let nature lift your spirits to a new high. Below on the lower deck is a stress relieving spa with natural surroundings, protruding over the mountain's edge.
The front deck is 11.5 x 40 with ample seating arrangements and an outdoor table. On rainy days you can still enjoy the view from either the covered deck or lay in the hammock on the side porch. The 11.5 x 33 ft side porch is heated and glassed-in. Also a model train has been added to the side porch. The track circles the side porch and is operated by a remote.
If you enjoy nature, we have a propane gas campsite firepit for your use and pleasure. With a wee bit of imagination you can rough it only 50ft from the cabin. Toast a hot dog, s'mores or marshmallows. Great place to get close to nature. Many a story has been told while at the campfire.
Fun things to do are available in this area. If you want to view the countryside, then take the "GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAIN" train ride. For the more active, take a ride down the gorge in a raft or kayak or walk the trails in the Smoky Mountain National Park. Or, if you must feed your golfing habit, you're in luck. A very challenging mountain golf course awaits you only 10 miles away in Whittier, North Carolina.
Come and visit. You may find it hard to leave. We do!

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2001
Judy and I share our cabin with others in hopes that they will experience some of the same relaxing and peaceful moments that we have had. We feel very close to God and His power when we look out at the sunsets and mountain ranges from our cabin. We are truly blessed to have found this lot.
Why the Owner Chose Bryson City
We purchased the lot that the cabin is built on because it has the most breathtaking view that we have ever seen. For years we stayed at many cabins in various mountain settings but none as great as this one.
We also must include some friends, Ty & Sandy Nelson, into our reason for purchasing a lot in Bryson City, NC. Before we purchased this lot, we stayed at their rental cabin "Retreat in the Sky" and loved the area. They told us that the lot was for sale and gave us first choice to purchase. Thanks again Ty & Sandy for your unselfish gesture.
The Unique Benefits of this Luxury Log Cabin
The cabin is at the end of the a road, high on the mountain where you will experience a feeling of quietness and peace. There is a view from the front deck and spa of the sunset that words can not describe. If you need to get away from it all, then this is the place. Your only problem will be the reluctance to leave and go back to real world.
