About this property
Vacation at a family & pet friendly cabin in the Blue Ridge mountains!
Relax with the whole family in this peaceful, pet friendly, mountain cabin surrounded by the Nantahala National Forest. You can drive any vehicle to navigate the winding roads and access our flat gravel driveway. You'll enjoy the peace and quiet as you relax out on the wrap around deck and take in the beautiful peekaboo mountain views. Grill out on the back deck and watch a portion of the sun set. Sit around the newly upgraded fire pit and make s'mores with the kids. Our house features three levels of warm and inviting amenities to make your next visit to the wilderness, everything you expected and more. Enjoy our two large screen TVs connected to the Dish Network! Shoot pool, play foosball, or video games with the Wii U! Fiber optics and Wireless Internet is available for checking emails and light streaming. We have only one camera facing the front porch and driveway for safety.
Activities just outside our cabin include a short walk down to a portion of Lake Hiawassee, for viewing and fishing. Another option is to follow the gravel road past the cabin you will be in the Nantahala National Forest for an easy hiking experience. We have seen deer walking through our property and we have heard of bear spotting’s.
Activities that you will need to drive to experience include the nearby Mountain View Marina which is approximately 15 minutes away and has all your boating, fishing, and rental needs. Just past the marina you will see the TVA dam where there is a view of the lake and picnicking area. Other outdoor activities include white water rafting, hiking, fishing, tubing, biking, wineries, brew pubs, and more! Enjoy all the local area has to offer including the 20-minute drive to historic downtown Murphy for shopping and dining.
Indoor activities include Harrah’s Casino just 10 minutes past downtown Murphy.
