About this property

Stay at our Beautiful Mountain Log Cabin on the creek for Leaf Looking Season! 🍁

We have taken a lot of pride in building this log cabin. Scotty has custom build the bedroom furniture as well as other pieces in the house! The cabin lies on a beautiful mountain steam that is full of native rainbow trout. So grab your fishing pole and come on for a great vacation full of fun and excitement. For Multiple Families traveling together we also have a 2bed/2bath listing #1924500 on VRBO, that is up on the hill from Rushing Creek Cabin.

It's all about location and this location is Great!! We are centrally located to Franklin, Cherokee, Asheville and Gatlinburg TN. Franklin is a great place if antiquing is your desire, while Cherokee is a gamblers paradise were Harrah's Casino is located. The native outdoor theatre drama, 'Unto these Hills' is also portrayed there! The Biltmore House is located in Asheville along with lots of unique shops you can visit!

If Fishing is your desire, the Upper Nantahala River, which is considered Trophy Waters is just 5 minutes away from the cabin. It is one of the two Rivers in NC to be in the top 100 Trout Streams Nationally, by Trout Unlimited.

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park leads you right into Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, where you can visit Dollywood, Splash County or my favorite the Dixie Stampede. Ripley's Aquarium is located is Gatlinburg if you would like to see some really big fish!!

The famous Nantahala River is just minutes from the cabin, rafting is a great way to spend the day with your family. Lake Nanthala is a wonderful place to go for some boating or skiing, the Marina offers boat rental packages. Lakes End Grille is located at the marina and is famous for their burgers and fries. If hiking interest you, the Bartram Trail or the Appalachian Trail is nearby, motorcyclist will enjoy riding the Tail of the Dragon and Thunder Road if they dare! "The Tail of the Dragon" has 318 curves in the 11 miles connecting NC to TN. It is considered to be "America's number one motorcycle and sports car Road." There is always something to do, so pack up the family and come on by!!!

Our family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Two 17yo, an 11yo, my husband and myself. The home and property were beautiful, the road in easy, and so quiet. We enjoyed using all the amenities. There are no complaints but it is important to note that if you have mobility issues, the yard down to the creek is steep and harder to manage if you have mobility troubles. The house also has about 5 steps to get up to the door. It was manageable for me but worth mentioning for others who might have trouble. They are an easy 5 steps in though with sturdy rails. Master on 1st floor is helpful too. This home exceeded our expectations. Host was friendly, reaponded quickly, and helpful with any questions we may have had. We hope to be back soon and highly recommend this home.
