Why they chose this property

This is a beautiful fully remodeled cabin located in a very private area but uniquely close to everything the beautiful western North Carolina mountains offer. Very close to Nantahala gorge and outdoor center for whitewater rafting and kayaking, fishing and hunting, the GSMNP and the GSMNP scenic train (Thomas the train, Polar Express, and other seasonal themed train experiences), hiking, Elk viewing, antiquing, quaint towns for lunching and shopping or just hanging at the cabin and relaxing.

What makes this property unique

Seems remote yet conveniently located for all of the activities the Western North Carolina mountains have to offer.
