There are 7-8 restaurants within 10 minutes from casual to fine dining! The Tsali (for hiking and biking trails) and Fontana Lake are within 10 minutes. Bryson City (shopping, dining, the scenic train depot and more) are within 15-20 minutes. We are available to assist you, and offer a few optional convenience services: ... Shopping service. If you would like to arrive at the Cabin with your Groceries already stocked, ask for details, we will have everything waiting for you upon your arrival. ...

Your Professional Massage Therapist will come to you, so when you are done, they quietly disappear and leave you to relax. ...

Very well maintained, updated, and clean property. Plenty of amenities from extra linens, kitchen supplies, as well as a wonderful, hot tub and porch with amazing views. My partner and I also loved the indoor gas fireplace and comfortable beds. Highly recommended for a relaxing getaway!
We absolutely loved our stay and this secluded mountain get away! Everything was perfect including all the activities within the area. It was nice to come back to a "home away from home" feel. Fantastic vacation spot!
The best place ever stayed! The awesome views, hot tub, fire pit made for a stress free 5 days. Very grateful to have stayed here. Stars at night great too!Thank you, can’t wait to return.
The views from this cabin were beautiful. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. Excellent directions. Plenty of wood for fires. We spent a lot of time in the hot tub and at night watched the stars come out. Hot dog sticks were great making delicious hotdogs over the fire. We heard a barred owl a couple of nights and saw deer on the road in. Excellent restaurants in the area.
My husband and I loved our stay at Mountain Magic and didn’t want to leave! The home is beautiful and exactly as pictured, with a well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and a cozy and inviting shared space with a lovely gas fireplace. The view of the mountains was simply spectacular, especially while soaking in the hot tub and making s’mores by the outside fire pit. Bryson City and Cherokee are within 20 and 30 minutes, respectively, and are wonderful places to stroll around, shop, and explore. We particularly liked the Cherokee Cultural Center/Museum. We greatly enjoyed our scenic hikes in the nearby Nantahala National Forest and of course in the Great Smoky Mountains. Communication and instructions from the host were comprehensive and helpful. And the best part is that we could bring our dogs with us. Rent this home-you won’t be disappointed!
We really enjoyed our visit to Mountain Magic. This is the ninth cabin we have stayed in and this one beats them all. Very clean, tons of amenities, and the views were unbelievable. We are definitely planning on coming back!
View is outstanding. We spent 2 weeks and traveled ALL over the place and never found a better view! How tub was so inviting as we gazed at the stars. Centrally located too. Restaurant recommendations were spot on too. And the beds… so comfy!
Amazing view from just sitting in the hot tub and looking at the stars

Dear Pat, We look forward to booking your next reservation! Steve and Kathleen
This home is located perfectly in the mountains. Beautiful scenery. We really enjoyed the fire pit, hot tub, and that grill had our T-Bones sizzling! Can't wait to visit again.
We really enjoyed our time here. We slept like babies in the comfy beds! We spent mornings and evenings on the deck taking in the view-gorgeous! During the day, it’s a short drive to Bryson City with all its cute shops and tasty restaurants! Loved it!
Beautiful views, very well equipped cabin. It is a beautiful place, however it needs new windows on the main living area desperately. Loved the location. We will be back if in the area.

First of all, Thank You so much for choosing Mountain Magic for such a special occasion!
We are Thankful for your 5 star review and we will continue to do our best to make every Guest's time at the cabin as special as yours was!
Steve and Kathleen Ford
We celebrated our 20th anniversary at this cabin and everything was wonderful. The views are amazing, the kitchen well stocked and clean and the hot tub was relaxing. There are 2 other cabins near this cabin but it remains private. It snowed our last night there and we were able to use the fireplace which made the cabin warm and relaxing. We would definitely stay here again!

Hello Jennifer and Thank You for your wonderful review of Mountain Magic Cabin. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay (and that you experienced snow and a cozy fire in early March).
We agree with your description of the setting and privacy. I think the cabin maintains so much privacy is because the only other two cabins on this side of the mountain are past the parking area and are farther up the road (not behind, in front, or on the side of the cabin where the hot tub and fire pit are).
Your group is welcome back any time. Please request your repeat guest discount code). Kathleen and the NCMR Family

Great Location
Our family of four had a great experience in this cabin. Everything you might need is there. We enjoyed the beautiful views, the movie selection, the fire pit, and the overall atmosphere. The drive going up and down the mountain was exciting too. This cabin is centrally located, close enough to attractions, but far away enough for serenity.
