About this property

The Junction-backwoods tiny home on brook trout stream with mountain ridge view

Take a step back to a life less hurried. Travel to the backwoods on uneven gravel & dirt to arrive at this tiny home. 400 sq ft cabin overlooks 2 trout creeks plus a mountain ridge view! No WiFi-enjoy reconnecting with each other! 2 mi from paved road w/shallow potholes & rocks. 5" clearance (not 4WD) needed. NOT suitable for motorcycles. Venomous snakes and wild animals are indigenous to our area. Use ONLY our directions and you'll enjoy the adventure getting here!

Walk your own private trail that leads to the creek-side deck. The Nantahala National Forest is our backyard and playground. Bring your outdoor gear for adventure right outside your door. Come "tame the dragon", ride the "Cherohala Skyway" or "hug" a tree at Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest.

"It was hard to leave" is the best compliment we get! Come, be our guest!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Their are not enough words to describe the feelings this paradise invokes within. Alice and Doug has really created an atmosphere of relaxation, tranquility, serenity, and peace. The cabin had everything we needed. We was sad to leave it. We know we will return. We caught some rainbow trout in the creek. That was some good eating on our last night here. Thank you again Alice and Doug for everything.
Raw beauty at its finest!

This place is an absolute gem! The view is stunning, overlooking the 2 creeks. The sound of the rushing water at all times. It was complete serenity! Everything in the home was well kept up. The attention to detail was unlike any thing I’ve ever seen in a rental. We had no questions at all. And the sweet gift she left upon arrival was over the top amazing! Everything was very welcoming and cozy! We highly recommend this place. If you’re looking at staying, I’d say BOOK NOW! This place is above 5 star!
View from the porch. I spent most of all the time in the water. It was a blast. Even though the water was a little chilly.

This is truly a piece of Heaven on earth! It was the amazing place to spend Valentine’s weekend. The cabin is absolutely perfect. It was wonderfully appointed. We appreciated being able to unplug from all the noise of life for a couple days & just listen to the sounds of the roaring stream. We enjoyed God’s creation, relaxed and talked to each other with out distractions. This is my retirement aspirations! Alice & Doug thanks for sharing your home with us.

This is a great place to disconnect and listen to nature. The cabin with covered patio is really comfortable and well stocked. There is plenty of beauty in the area and fun roads if you really enjoy driving.BE WARNED: there is no cell service and no internet and it's almost 30 minutes into town. The last mile or so is a private road and not county maintained so it is rougher than the host says. I would not take anything lower than a mid size SUV or you may scrape on some parts of the road.

About the host

Hosted by Alice Lumbard

Host profile image
We're Doug and Alice, originally from Illinois. We missed our creek property and slower lifestyle so we moved into our tiny vacation home upstream from The Junction.

Why they chose this property

We enjoyed sharing our little "glamping" cabin, "The Owl's Perch" (#1891123), so we purchased "The Junction". We remodeled it, cleared the view and gave it a name. We’d love to share either with you!

What makes this property unique

You just can't beat the sound of a rushing creek and solitude the forest offers. We welcome you to come experience small living and see why less is more!
