This was our second stay at this property and we love it. The view from the main living area is so nice and the porch swing with a view is my favorite part. Everyone loves being able to eat dinner outside under the covered wrap around deck. Plenty of kitchen dishes, pans, utensils, etc. if I could add just one thing it would be a full length mirror somewhere in the house. Can’t wait to go back!

10/10 - Can't recommend highly enough. Property was amazing -- as advertised. Views are breathtaking and cabin had every amenity that we could ask for. We especially enjoyed the holiday decorations, which were perfect for the holiday season. This is our fourth stay in the area and we would definitely recommend both the cabin and the hosts. ALMOST HEAVEN is the spot!

We have stayed here several times before, summer to beat the heat (10 degrees cooler than other areas of NC or TN) and fall for the beautiful mountain colors. Hosts are always receptive and accomodating, Cabin is well stocked and very clean, many extra amenities that make it feel like home. Plenty of space to relax and enjoy.

Somw.of the most beautiful views of any cabin we have ever stayed at. I loved the fun steep drive up the mountain running next to a stream. Cabin was very nice and no amenities were spared. We are going to make this our go to spot to stay for smoky mountain trips.

A beautiful cabin with a magnificent view of the mountains. The cabin was outfitted with everything we needed, comfortable beds, plenty of towels, fully stocked kitchen. The views of the mountains from the 3-sided porch were exactly what we were looking for.

About the host

Hosted by David and Joy Nifong

Host profile image
We have been married for 26 years and have three sons and a daughter we adopted from Ukraine orphanage at age 9. We have always loved visiting the Smoky Mountains. Over the years we have grown to love the quiet and cheerful town of Bryson City. This has been a dream of ours to own a cabin and we are thrilled to now be property owners of such a beautiful, custom built cabin.

Why they chose this property

Semi secluded and on top of the world!!!!! The other 2 neighboring cabins are not close but barely visible (especially summer months).

What makes this property unique

Enjoy the views from our cabin on the 3 large covered porches. On the porch you will find an outdoor stone, gas fireplace with dining table. A large hanging swing and plenty of rocking chairs to relax and take in the view.
Inside are 4 spacious bedrooms accommodating up to 6 with 2-4 small children OR 8 adults. A large soaking tub in the master bath, a pool table, a hot tub for 6 people. There are 6 flat screen TV's with Direct TV and DVR.
At our cabin you will enjoy the peace and quiet of remote living. While enjoying the benefits of the luxury living. The cabin sits 20-30 minutes outside of Bryson City in a small, quaint community named Alarka. Inside Bryson City you can enjoy shopping, a small theatre, local dining and of course The Great Smoky Mountain Railroad. The cabin is also near the Fontana Lake where you will find water recreational activities. The Nantahala Outdoor Center and the Great Smoky Mountain National Park where you can hike and view the elk.
