About this property

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.

Good place to stay. Modern and clean. Especially for allowing dogs, it didn’t smell bad. Overall we loved it. Beds were not great but manageable. Bring your own toilet paper, the paper provided is as cheap as possible.

The property was as described and pictured in the listing. Check-in was easy. The cabin is located only 1-2 miles from downtown Bryson City and had a river tubing operation 100 yds down the road. There was good access to the Blue Ridge Parkway and is only 1 1/2 hours from Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge (think Dollywood) Tennessee. The Museum of the Cherokee People in Cherokee, NC is only 20 minutes away and is well worth the visit. The cabin was set in a lovely private spot among the trees, but not so high up in the mountains that you needed 4WD. We enjoyed our stay and recommend it.

Perfect location for my husband and I to get away for a couple of days. We visit the area often and this little cabin is ideal for location and comfort. The hot tub was warm and inviting. We will be back in a few months and hopeful to rent again! Top 5 stars for sure. Our pets loved it too!

This cabin is great. Extremely quiet on a dead end gravel road with a horse farm below it. We were awakened the first morning by birds singing in the tree outside the bedroom double doors. The hot tub was a nice ending for days spent out exploring the area. It is on a covered deck so we were even able to sit in it and listen to the rain falling. We would definitely stay here again. Also Karen is a wonderful host and is only a phone call away.

This was my second stay at this wonderful cabin with a wonderful host. This place is comfortable, well furnished and maintained, and a great location just outside of town. That along with a very friendly and responsive host brought me back and I’d book again without hesitation.

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.
