Magical Mtn Views/Hot Tub/Hiking/Fishing/NOC 5 min

Your Magical Mountain Memories are just a stay away...
GETTING THERE: Getting to the cabin is easy via paved roads all the way to the cabin. As you drive to the Nantahala Gorge, you will experience a true vacation feeling!
INSIDE: From the moment you see the Majestic Long Range Mountain Views from the Cabin, you are sure to be captivated...
There are designer appointments throughout, warm wood floors (bathroom floors and showers are tiled), pine tongue and groove walls, and a complete wall of glass w/ floor to ceiling windows to take in the Incredible Views from nearly every room in the Cabin. The Living Room offers a Gorgeous Native Stone Fireplace.
Relax and take in the Long Range Mountain Views while you cuddle up in front of the Fireplace, wrapped in a plush cotton bathrobe after soaking away the “city stress” in the Sparkling Hot tub filled with fresh spring water.
The stainless & granite kitchen is well appointed with everything you need to cook your meals at your "home away from home”.
On the deck, there is a BBQ Grill (Grilling has never been so View-licious). Dine indoors at the beautiful teak dining table or dine alfresco on the recently expanded deck.
The living room offers an even larger (55") flat screen TV (each bedroom offers flat screen TV's that are equipped with an extensive variety of stations as well).
"Mountain Magic" offers several unique and updated amenities: a Sparkling Fresh Hot Tub (with waterfall feature and even more Jets than the tub we replaced), Comfortable Luxurious Leather living room furniture, 2 fabulous King Beds that offer just the right combination of support and softness.
As always, the beds are prepared with Luxury linens and high quality Bedding.
WIFI: The Internet service (BalsamWest) Internet provider is the best and fastest in the area, and use is unlimited, a designated work space with a desk, chair, computer monitor and a wireless keyboard. Both bathrooms have been updated.
There is an assortment of card/board games, an Air Hockey Table, and more…
OUTDOORS: Bring the S'mores fixins and brush up on your favorite Campfire stories. Gathering around the FirePit is always an end of the day favorite!
NEARBY: There are just over 50 acres of designated Green Space a few steps outside of the front door. There is a hiking trail around the perimeter of the acreage. While hiking the trail you will encounter several ponds (2 small ponds and 1 larger pond), the largest of which is spring fed and has a variety of fish. We have caught brim, catfish, and even some bass...
There is a hand drawn map inside the welcome book to show the hiking trail. NOTE: To get to the pond, hike down hill, around the trail, and hike up hill to get back to the cabin. While it is not a rough trail, it may not be suitable for the elderly depending on the persons physical condition.
Mountain Magic is the perfect place to make your own Magical Mountain Memories!
Good Morning America and National Geographic Vacation voted this area #1 Vacation with a Splash. There are 7-8 restaurants within 10-15 minutes from casual to fine dining. The Tsali (for hiking and biking trails) and Fontana Lake are within 10 minutes. A little farther and you will come to Bryson City - an adorable mountain town offering: shopping, dining, the scenic train depot, and more…

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!

The property is exactly as I pictured from the images posted. The veiw was gorgeous. The drive up to the property is beautiful. Not used to the mountains, I will say that the last road to enter only fits one car, but they describe it accurately in the welcome emails before you arrive and gave instructions on how to navigate, so I was prepared, and I found very little traffic on it since there are only a couple properties the road leads to. Quiet, peaceful, well-equiped for the perfect mountain veiwed vacation. Mountain horse back riding, water sports, hiking, zip-lining, all very close. Check in is hands-off, which I love. Wifi worked wonderfully. I'm not a fan of hot tubs, but there is one on site, and with that gorgeous view. Fire pit also had plenty of wood, ready for use. I didn't use it, but it was ready for use. Overall, I loved it. It was the perfect mother-daughter escape from city life. I would definitely recommend.

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!

Amazing views!

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
