Secluded in woods-1 mile from Smoky Mtn Nat'l Park & Great Smoky Mtn Railway

This cabin built in 2019 is conveniently located 1 mile from the Deep Creek entrance of the Great Smoky Mtn National Park and 1 mile from Bryson City and the Polar Express. It's also 20 minutes from the Nantahala Outdoor Center. This 2 bedroom both with king sized beds/2 full bathrooms and a queen futon cabin is one floor living. It's surrounded by woods behind a horse pasture off of West Deep Creek Rd near the park entrance. If you are looking for quality and convenience, this cabin is a good fit. There is another cabin on the property located 300 feet away with trees in between-very private. The vrbo # is 1790268. Also you can check out my one bedroom/one bath cabin in another neighboring area: 868611.

This was the second time we’ve stayed at this property, and once again it did not disappoint. The location is excellent—close to downtown Bryson City—yet the home still feels very secluded and peaceful. The cabin features higher-end finishes and is exceptionally clean while maintaining a lovely rustic charm. The indoor fireplace keeps the cabin warm and cozy, and the kitchen is very well stocked. We also really enjoyed the hot tub, which was perfect for relaxing. The bathrooms are very nice, with reliable hot water and waterfall-style showerheads that offer a relaxing experience without overly intense water pressure. We especially appreciated that our furbabies were welcome, making the stay even more enjoyable for our whole family.

Beautiful, clean and comfortable interiors, great, sparkling clean hot tub; Karen is a rare host who seems to anticipate guests' needs and provide for them in advance...she is very responsive, even to coming out late in the evening to solve a minor problem with television viewing.

Fantastic Cabin!

We found the cabin to be very clean and neatly in order. Although there was a small problem with the hot tub, the host got a repair man quickly and it was fixed in no time at all! We had a wonderful time and we will be returning! Thank you for a great stay!

About the host

Hosted by Karen Whitaker

Host profile image
I grew up spending my summers in Bryson City with my grandparents who lived and raised their family here. My Grandfather took me for many hikes in these mountains and I spent many summer days swimming, tubing or boating the rivers and lake. I cherish all of the outdoor activities this area has to offer.

Why they chose this property

This brand new cabin (December 2019) is conveniently located within a mile of the Deep Creek area of the National Park where you will find great hiking trails, waterfalls, tubing and a picnic area. It is also within a mile of Bryson City and the Great Smoky Mountain Railway and the Polar Express. There are lots of outdoor activities in this side of the Smoky Mountains-hiking, biking, rafting, tubing, kayaking, ziplining, etc. The Nantahala Outdoor Center is 15 minutes away. There are scenic drives galore-The Cherohala Skyway, The Road to Nowhere, and if you want to test your driving skill, try navigating the Tail of the Dragon. You can also try your luck at Harrah's Cherokee only 30 minutes away. The Cherokee Indian Reservation is also a nice place to explore as well. This cabin is tucked in the woods behind a horse pasture, so there is plenty of privacy. Consider renting both for a family or friends visit. Also, I live close by and I am available if something is needed.
