About Richard and Barbara Baldwin
Barbara and I are retired educators and live near the cabin. After retiring I purchased a woodmizers sawmill and cut the logs from our farm that are now in the cabin. We love to travel and have visited almost all of the states including Alaska. We have not yet explored the northeast, but plan to soon. Both are graduates of Nantahala High School and post graduates of Western Carolina University.
Richard and Barbara Baldwin purchased this cabin in 2004
Why Richard and Barbara Baldwin chose Smoky Mountains
Our cabin is centrally located for fun and adventure in the outdoors. Nantahala Lake is within a mile, the Nantahala River is just 4 miles away and offers Blue Ribbon trout fishing, kayaking, rafting, zip lining, gem mining, and excellent restaurants. Harrah's Casino is only an hour away and a new one is under construction close by in Murphy. The Appalachian and Bartram Trailheads are just down the road. This is our community and we love it because of the people and their laid back nature and easy living. And, all the four season's with flowers of spring, cool breezes of summers, the outstanding colors of fall, and winter brings it own beauty, especially when snow covers the mountains.
What makes this cabin unique
Easily accessible year around, only a couple of hours from Atlanta, Chattanooga, Knoxville, Asheville, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The Great Smoky Mountain National Park is nearby.

restful stay
We really enjoyed out stay, the cabin location is centered near all the actives we wanting to do. It is easy to get to and even though it is near the road you don't hear the traffic. The guys loved sitting on the front porch and watching the birds and listening the nearby creek. We got the much needed break from the busy world. The cabin was clean and well stock with all the little items you may need. Total thumbs up....
July 4th Getaway
My family is from Tampa, Florida. Most people spend July 4th at the beach. But we were looking for a change of scenery and wanted to unplug for a few days. We were lucky to find this gem of a cabin! This cabin was beautiful and so well taken care of. The owners called and checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Unbelievable! We hiked and whitewater rafted. We played monopoly, watched movies, grilled out and enjoyed a campfire. It was everything that we were looking for!
Beautiful, comfortable, and fully equipped. Scenic mountain views. Convenient to lake and food.
We had a fabulous time rafting, hiking and exploring. Many waterfalls to see. Visited family and dining at several locations was perfect. Cabin was very clean and fully equipped. Owners made contact upon arrival to check our needs and then left us to our vacation. Would definitely come again.
Beautiful views
We loved staying at the cabin, it was the most stocked place I have stayed using HomeAway so far. They had coffee, ice, soap for everything, makup wipes, hair dryer, washing machine, and the list goes on 😀. We had 4 adults, a baby, and dog and all fit well, with lots to do they provide games, books, stuffed animals, a fire pit, and tv. I would definitely recommend this cabin it's a great location, close to the lake and river with lots of swimming spots. The owners were really nice and just a phone call away if we needed anything
Perfect Getaway
Great cabin. Very clean and had everything stocked we could ask for. Didn't find anything in the online description that was missing/different. If fact, there was more there than we expected. Loved that it was so close to Bryson City and GSMNP. While it was close to the road, we didn't hear any traffic at night. The only disappointment was the burned out area nearby from the November 2016 fires, which is not the fault of the owners. We look forward to a return visit and know that those areas will be beautiful once again.
Great cabin!
We loved our stay! The cabin was so cute and well taken care of, the location was quiet and in a part of Nantahala that our family had not been aware of so it was fun to discover all the waterfalls, trails, and countryside. The owners were great! I would definitely recommend staying here.
