About this property
Luxury Log Cabin with Movie Room & Firepit near Sylva, North Carolina
Starry nights await at this luxury 4,500 sq ft custom cabin on 7 private acres, just 9 minutes to Dillsboro and 12 minutes to Sylva. Built for entertaining with two fully stocked kitchens, movie room, arcade, pool table, Smart TVs, YouTube TV, Sonos soundbars, and fast Wi-Fi. Features three en-suite bedrooms, BBQ grill/smoker, and a massive fire pit. Close to GSMNP, Maggie Valley, Bryson City, and Asheville.
SPACE
This Montana-style, true log cabin is handcrafted from spruce logs, with exterior stonework sourced directly from the property. The home showcases local art and locally made furnishings, thoughtfully chosen to support the surrounding community. The hand-hewn Japanese cedar dining table seats 12 and anchors the space for memorable group meals, with seating for four more at the kitchen bar. Leather sofas throughout provide both comfort and easy upkeep.
At night, the stargazing is exceptional—you can even enjoy the view from inside through the soaring cathedral windows. Mornings are often greeted by birdsong, and it’s not uncommon to spot deer or wild turkey wandering the yard. The setting is peaceful, private, and perfect for unwinding.
Additional Studio Apartment
A separate, onsite studio apartment with private entrance (1 bedroom, 1 bath, full kitchen, tiled shower, and washer/dryer) may be available to rent depending on the week. It is adjacent to the main house and may or may not be occupied. If your group needs this extra space, please inquire about availability and pricing at booking.

NOTES
Important House Notes & Policies
This is a true log cabin on a regular pest-control program. Due to the nature of log construction, small insects—especially ladybugs—may occasionally enter through natural cracks during certain seasons. Refunds cannot be issued for this type of occurrence.
Group Size & Extra Guests
Please notify us if your group exceeds 16 guests. The home can accommodate up to 24 guests with advance approval and an additional fee. We’re happy to work with you on pricing for larger groups.
An extra guest fee of $50 per person per night applies after the 10th guest.
Owner Apartment
The owner resides in a separate, unconnected apartment on the property and keeps personal belongings there. This space does not connect to the main house, and your stay will not be disturbed.
Seasonal & Access Notes

4WD vehicles are recommended December – April
Beds & Sleeping Arrangements
The home includes up to 13 beds in the main house:
3 King bedrooms
2 Queen bedrooms

Cleaning & Property Care
The cleaning fee covers standard cleaning, laundry, and trash removal. Excessive mess may result in an additional cleaning charge.
Parking or driving on grass is not permitted and may result in fines.
Fireplace Use
When using the upstairs fireplace, please do not use “thermo” mode, as it will keep the fire running until the set temperature is reached.
Off-Limits Areas
All garages, sheds, crawlspaces, mechanical, and maintenance areas—interior and exterior—are strictly off-limits. This includes areas under decks and near HVAC equipment. Lawn and maintenance products are stored in secured containers. By booking, guests agree to waive liability related to entering restricted areas. If access is ever needed, please contact us first.
Bonus Tip
The Jackson County Library in Sylva offers an excellent selection of free DVD rentals—perfect for movie nights. We also provide a small DVD collection on-site.
Seasonal Note:
Because the cabin is in a natural, wooded area, you may occasionally see insects. In the winter, ladybugs are especially common around windows and warm areas. They are harmless, but a few may find their way inside despite regular cleaning. Thank you for your understanding!

We had a wonderful weekend stay! The home was excellent, comfortable, and made for a great getaway. The only thing that would have made the experience even better is having a washer and dryer on-site, especially for longer or active stays. Overall, a great property and host—would definitely recommend!
