About this property

Spectacular year-round views of Smokey Mountain National Park from a D-Log Cabin

WE ARE OPEN, FULLY OPERATIONAL & ACCEPTING BOTH SHORT/LONG TERM BOOKINGS, POST HURRICANE-HELENE.

While our hearts are with all those affected by the hurricane, we are hoping you will still choose to come support us and our surrounding towns (Dillsboro, Sylva, Bryson City, Cherokee) as they are all open and eager to welcome guests back.

The Grand Seclusion is your perfect getaway with spectacular, unmatched mountain views. This dog-friendly secluded log cabin is on Rich Mountain, close to many attractions: Deep Creek for tubing, biking & hiking, Harrah's Casino, and Dillsboro/Bryson City for good eats, breweries/wineries, shops and train rides. Roast marshmallows in the camp fire with family & friends. Relax on the wrap around deck after a day of hiking (either right there on the property or to check out the countless beautiful trails with waterfalls just a short drive away).

Cabin is fully equip with everything you should need for your stay! Kitchen appliances/utensils, linens, toiletries, movies, books, games, etc. For those traveling with children, we do have a Pack'n'Play, and (sound only) monitor, as well as plastic/kid friendly dishes/cups.

Satellite internet and Direct TV available at the cabin.

*ACCESS ROADS TO CABIN: Gated community access road to the cabin is paved (all the way up the mountain); so 4WD is not necessary. But remember...it is a mountain...and there are some narrow/one way roads and sharp turns. Any size car, truck or SUV can make the ride up. Just be diligent until you get a feel for the roads.

Wonderful Stay at Grand Seclusion

We loved our stay at Grand Seclusion. Beautiful clean house with amazing views, great kitchen, and lovely master bedroom. We loved the fire pit and isolation. The driveway is a bit tough to navigate -- suggest arriving during daylight hours.

Other than the narrow and winding road leading to and from the cabin, Grand Seclusion was the perfect place to totally relax and enjoy being with Family. The Mountain View’s from the deck were stunning , the house was very clean and the kitchen well stocked for our eating in needs.We especially enjoyed our time sitting around the fire pit! We would stay here again .

Awesome Mountain Cabin

We had a great time with the whole family. The house is in a gated (quiet!) neighborhood. The road is single track and steep in some areas. Nice views all around. The house is clean and well kept. Proximity to the national park and the small towns around is a plus.

Excellent!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Grand Seclusion.

Very peaceful and relaxing

My husband and I were very satisfied with our choice of cabins. The road up to the cabin was a little tricky but we got alot of laughs. There was only 2 of us on this trip so the cabin had more than enough room. The cabin had every thing that we needed to make this a relaxing vacation. I hope this cabin is still listed and available on our next trip to the smokey's.
