About this property

Cowee Valley Rustic Cabin Getaway

Cowee Valley Rustic Cabin Getaway is the perfect destination for that special occasion, whether it be your honeymoon, anniversary, birthday or just a break from life. We are PET FRIENDLY (sorry, no cats). An authentic rustic cabin located in the heart of the Smoky Mountains in historic Cowee Valley, just outside Franklin NC. This is not a modified mobile home or tiny house, nor are we in a community type setting. A private gravel road brings you to our location. Centrally located for casual or hard core hiking with most trails including the Appalachian Trail within an hours drive! There are several balds in the area as well as the Tallulah Gorge and Joyce Kramer Memorial park. Asheville, Waynesville, Cherokee, Sylva, Bryson City, Highlands, Cashiers & Maggie Valley are just a few cities within a short distance drive. Fully furnished and stocked with everything you will need for your stay. All you will need to bring is food and your personal items. Beautiful remote scenic mountain view from our covered porch, outside deck or gazebo. Air conditioned for warm climate months, heated for those chilly months. Two Satellite TVs with FREE UNLIMITED STARLINK WIFI and board games for those days you just want to hang out or keep the the kids busy. Full sized washer and dryer conveniently located within the laundry room. A perfect scenario for the average working family looking for an affordable vacation getaway! Please note that the front of the property is under video surveillance for your security.

I needed this!

This was a perfect getaway to calm my busy life. The cabin was very nice, and everything was clean and tidy. I loved the area. We saw several waterfalls and went to the gem mine.The host, Jeff Warshaw, was very kind and provided all the information I needed to have a great stay. I sure hope I get a chance to go back. There is so much more I want to see, and the peacefulness of this cabin is a great place to restore my sanity from the hustle and stress of life.

So Peaceful

We loved the cabin! It had everything! The yard was so relaxing. We thought we would have more of a “view” rather than mostly trees. Still it was beautiful. We’re thankful to have been there. Our host was very accommodating with detailed directions to the cabin. Yes, gps will lead you wrong. Thank You Jeff.

Renewing of the soul

The sun sets and and sun raises were a slice off of a magical tale. The nights under the cool breeze on the cabin porch made for a wonderful vacation and much needed one. 10 out of a 10 I would recommend.

Great quiet location

Great place for a fishing trip with my dad. The cabin is remote, but if that isn't a problem (it wasn't for us), the place is great and completely satisfactory.

Mountain-Top Retreat

Our stay at Jeff and Eva’s cabin was everything we needed and more. The cabin was clean, stocked with everything we needed, and provided us with the privacy and seclusion that we otherwise couldn’t get in FL. We spent every morning on the outside lookout gazebo and rocking in the chairs on the porch. We hope to come back next fall to escape the Florida heat and enjoy the mountain life. Thank you once again!

We had a wonderful time in the cabin. My kids and fur babies didn’t want to leave. I’m going to try to get my husband to get us the same cabin on our 1 year anniversary in October.
