Watershed 1 - Modern-Rustic, Luxury, One King Bedroom Cabin

Welcome to Watershed Cabin 1
Tucked away in a serene corner of the mountains, Watershed Cabin 1 offers the perfect private escape for couples seeking peace, comfort, and a touch of luxury. Surrounded by nature and thoughtfully designed with both relaxation and adventure in mind, this charming cabin invites you to unwind in style. Whether you're sipping coffee on the deck, playing pool in the loft, or cozying up by the fire, you’ll find that every detail has been curated to make your stay unforgettable.

Cabin Layout:

Kitchen
Step into a beautifully appointed kitchen that combines mountain charm with modern convenience. Gleaming granite countertops and brand-new stainless steel appliances—including a microwave, dishwasher, and coffee maker—make meal prep a pleasure. Whether you're whipping up a hearty breakfast or an evening feast, you'll find everything you need, from cookware and utensils to dishes and glassware. For those who love to grill, a gas BBQ (with a full propane tank) awaits just outside—perfect for al fresco dining under the stars.

Great Room
The heart of the cabin is the expansive great room, where comfort and rustic elegance blend seamlessly. Gather around the stunning round pounded-copper dining table, which comfortably seats six, or unwind on the buttery-soft nubuck leather sofa. Rich hardwood floors, warm log walls, and a striking stone fireplace create a cozy yet upscale mountain atmosphere. For entertainment, enjoy the satellite TV, stereo system with Bose speakers, and a CD/DVD player—or simply sit back and enjoy the sounds of nature through the French doors that lead to your covered deck.

Your rest and relaxation are our priority. Each bed features a plush pillow-top mattress, luxurious all-cotton linens, and your choice of down or foam pillows. Stay cozy under a down comforter and wrap yourself in soft, oversized bath towels. For guests utilizing the futon, linens and towels are provided as needed. (Please note: additional linen use beyond the registered occupancy may incur a fee.)

Upstairs, a private king bedroom offers a peaceful retreat with its own TV and access to a shared full bath. On the other side of the loft, enjoy a game of pool on the elegant 7-foot slate table or relax on the queen futon. This open space overlooks the great room below and opens onto a private balcony surrounded by the soothing sights and sounds of the forest.

Resort Amenities
Step outside your cabin and into a world of fun and relaxation. “The Yard” is the heart of our resort, offering breathtaking views and a variety of outdoor activities. Lounge around the group fire pit, or enjoy a friendly game of bocce ball, corn hole, horseshoes, or ladder ball. For a unique experience, unwind on the bed swing in our signature logzebo.

Attention: Active Wildlife in the Area
Our area of WNC is currently experiencing increased wildlife activity, particularly from bears. While it’s a privilege to share our environment with these magnificent creatures, it’s essential that we all take precautions to ensure our safety and theirs.
Please follow these guidelines:
Secure all food and garbage: Bears are attracted to strong smells. Do not leave food in your car and reattach bungee cords to trash can lids every time.
Be aware of your surroundings: Stay alert, especially during dawn and dusk when wildlife is most active.
Avoid close encounters: If you see a bear or other wildlife, maintain a safe distance and do not approach.
Travel in groups: When possible, hike or explore with others, and make noise to alert animals of your presence. Keep dogs leashed at all times.
Your cooperation is crucial in maintaining a safe and harmonious environment for everyone. Thank you for your attention and care.
