MAKE THE MOUNTAINS YOUR HOME BASE

Stay for a few nights or settle in for a full week. A Majestic Mountain Getaway is more than a place to sleep, it's a home base for exploring the small towns, lakes, forests, waterfalls, shops, antiques, restaurants, and mountain roads of western North Carolina and North Georgia.

Spend one day on Lake Hiwassee, another browsing antiques in a charming mountain town, another hiking to a waterfall, and another doing absolutely nothing but enjoying the porch and fire pit. With so much to explore within a scenic drive, you can create a getaway that's as adventurous or as relaxing as you want.

**********

The cabin is tastefully decorated to truly immerse yourself in the experience. The cabin sits on a fairly level acre, allowing guests to enjoy the backyard.

The cabin has fiber Internet! Each bedroom includes a 43-inch TV for cozy evenings after a day of exploring, while the living room boasts a 55-inch TV. All TVs come with over 190 DISH channels, and guests can stream services through their own accounts. Slow down and reconnect with a selection of board games, books, and indoor/outdoor activities. There is a selection of books to read cozied up in bed, by the fireplace, on the screen-in porch, or by the fire pit.

The cabin is centrally located in the Appalachian Mountains and close to lots of fun spots like local dining restaurants, historic downtowns (Murphy, Blue Ridge, Helen, and Blairsville), Lake Hiwassee (trails, fishing, boat ramp, marina, and dam), recreation areas and trails for hiking, six waterfalls, Harrah's Cherokee River Valley Casino, Nantahala Outdoor Center, gem mining, stables, farms, breweries, wineries, and much more.
