We stayed at this cabin in June 2018. It was ideal for our family of five. Our kids spent many hours wading in the nearby creek, which is a short walk down the driveway and across a very lightly travelled gravel road. We didn't mind at all that the nearest town was about 30 minutes away. We brought our groceries and made good use of the charcoal grill and used the fire pit for hot dogs and smores. Although you will feel secluded, there is plenty to do in the area. We took a morning hike among the enormous 400 year old trees at the nearby Joyce Kilmer forest. We took a drive across the Cherohala Skyway, hiked up Huckleberry Knob, and visited Bald River Falls. We took a rafting trip on the Nantahala River, which was about an hour away. We spent a day visiting some of the merchants in the area (Hunting Boy Wood Carving, Yellow Branch Pottery and Cheese, Stoney Hollow Farm, and Wehrloom Honey). Although we prepared most of our meals at the cabin, we enjoyed dining at the Tapoco Tavern and The Hub. Both places offered fun, casual riverside dining. Bear in mind that the cabin is not located directly adjacent to the creek. You can hear it. You can barely see it from the front porch. But, it is a short walk down the nicely paved driveway. Also, I would note that there is no onsite trash pickup. The owners will expect you to carry your trash out with you. There is a dumpster available on the way to Robbinsville. I would recommend arriving in the daylight. As the road approaching the cabin is well maintained, but I imagine driving it for the first time in the dark would be a challenge. Overall, we found the cabin to be very well constructed, tastefully decorated and well maintained.
