À propos de cet hébergement

// Smawlie \\ Isolé * Paisible * Vues spectaculaires sur les montagnes * Près du lac Nantahala * Randonnée

Nous ne pouvons pas décrire adéquatement la façon pacifique il est assis sur le pont de notre petite cabine et écouter les oiseaux et le vent dans les arbres pendant que vous regardez le coucher de soleil sur les montagnes de Smokey. Avec la forêt nationale de Nantahala littéralement comme notre cour arrière, cette nouvelle cabane est la parfaite escapade nature isolée! Après avoir passé une des meilleures nuits de sommeil que vous ayez jamais eues dans notre lit à plateau-coussin, vous aurez l'énergie nécessaire pour pêcher à la mouche ou faire du rafting sur la rivière Nantahala ou faire du ski nautique sur les eaux vitreuses du lac le plus élevé à l'est du Mississippi (le lac Nantahala est à seulement 1 mile sur la route de la cabine). Les randonneurs aiment l'accès facile aux sentiers des Appalaches et du Bartram - et les photos que vous voyez sur cette liste proviennent d'une zone secrète de Swimming Hole et Cliff Diving au large du sentier Bartram. Les activités locales comprennent également le VTT, le kayak, la chasse, le golf, la natation, du tourisme, et plus encore. Les locataires sont également invités à utiliser notre canot pour explorer le lac Nantahala! Nous avons quelques DVD à la cabine en cas de pluie.

La cabine est équipée de tout ce que vous auriez à votre propre cuisine, y compris un barbecue au propane sur le pont. Les petites villes pittoresques d'Andrews et Murphy sont juste une courte distance en voiture si vous ne voulez pas cuisiner vos propres repas ou avez oublié votre appât de pêche préféré.

Nos locataires nous disent sans cesse comment paisible et thérapeutique, il est de rester à notre cabine. Ils mentionnent avoir d'excellents plans pour visiter les attractions touristiques et les aventures en plein air - mais sont tellement attirés par la paix et la beauté des environs de la cabane qu'ils finissent par passer la journée sur le pont en profitant de la vue ou assis au foyer fasciné par les étoiles qui illuminent le ciel nocturne.

NOTE: Bien que les routes de montagne sont parfois sinueux et escarpé, ils sont bien entretenus routes asphaltées et entièrement accessible. Nous avons fait de grands efforts pour rendre la cabine aussi accessible que possible, mais notre allée GRAVEL est extrêmement raide. Par conséquent, nous demandons à tous les locataires d'avoir 4 roues motrices ou 4 roues motrices! Si vous ne disposez pas d'un tel véhicule, nous vous obliger à garer au fond et la randonnée jusqu'à. Ceci est une demande typique pour les chalets de montagne et pas une attente déraisonnable, sauf si vous n'êtes pas disposé à faire de la randonnée sur notre allée de 800 pi. NOTE: SI VOUS CHOISISSEZ D'IGNORER CETTE EXIGENCE VOUS PAYER POUR LES DOMMAGES AU STATIONNEMENT ET VOTRE VEHICULE PARCE QUE VOUS AUREZ STUCK!

Location en ligne: Si vous lisez ceci, vous êtes en avance sur le jeu quand il vient à la location en ligne. Nous avons essayé de rendre le processus aussi simple que possible. Ne hésitez pas à nous appeler à tout moment si vous avez des questions sur le processus. Si vous êtes prêt - juste "réserver en ligne". Une fois que nous avons reçu la confirmation du paiement, vous recevrez un ensemble détaillé de directions à la cabine qui comprennent aussi le «code de la boîte clé» pour l'entrée dans la cabine.

Note finale: Cette cabine est REMOTE selon les normes américaines - alors soyez prêt pour aucun service cellulaire, pas de télévision, pas de WIFI, et personne ne vous dérangent!

We love to share our #NantahalaVacations properties with like minded outdoor enthusiasts who looking to disconnect from cell service, social media, and the office email in order to enjoy a true vacation. Basking in the misty morning sunrise over the Smoky Mountains, going hiking on the Bartram and Appalachian Trails as well as our own trails and back roads, white water rafting and fly fishing the Nantahala River, boating on the Nantahala Lake, cliff jumping at our secret water hole, and then returning to a nice grilled dinner and roasting marshmallows over the fire pit, gazing at the beauty of a brilliant star filled sky...these are the kinds of things we and our guests enjoy. But, it's hard to do all of that in just one stay, especially on new years eve, so we're looking forward to hosting you again....soon!

Awesome experience, we're definitely returning!

Me and my wife had a wonderful time. Mike has thought of everything and the cabin was perfect. It's a remote area which was great and allowed us to unplug for a week. We are planning a return visit with family and hope this can be a regular yearly trip for us. Nantahala area is beautiful as well and we enjoyed meeting the locals in Andrews. Thanks Mike for sharing you home with us!

Perfect getaway

Once again, we had an amazing stay at this lovely cabin we brought her two boys with us were seven and 14 to enjoy this experience with us and my wife got to enjoy it three years ago for my 37th birthday this year we return for my 40th birthday as well as Mother’s Day There’s not enough I can say about just how amazing and beautiful the area is great. The cabin always is got to enjoy the kayaks and canoe. We got to spend two days out on the lake on a pontoon boat fishing tubing and just relaxing. We are from the St. Louis area so it’s a 9 Hour Dr. for us but well worth the trip we sure will be coming back again in the future Henry’s have definitely given us all a piece of their little heaven to share and we appreciate them very much.

Lovely spot!

Enjoyed our stay at Smawlie Cabin. It was warm and cozy and the surrounding landscape was gorgeous. We took a walk down to see the lake in the beautiful fall colors and a drive up to Wayah Bald. We enjoyed having a fire and home cooked meals and playing the vintage video games :) Definitely a relaxing getaway. Thanks!

Perfect Escape From Society

Cannot put into words how accommodating the host was and how quickly they responded. The driveway was no joke and must be treated with respect. The cabin is better than you can imagine and it’s 20 minutes to the closest cell service. This will be our destination to unplug and unwind from here on out. Cannot recommend it enough.

Off the beaten path

We enjoy cisiting this area. It takes a while to reach many activities and town, so plan your day accordingly. The property and cabin are well maintained. Had to flip the circuit breaker for hot water. The listing is not entirely accurate. There is no cable or satellite TV hookup, and no reception. There was DVD (or VCR) built into TV, not both as listed. Needs satellite hookup and another TV in bedroom. Cabin was small and a bit cramped. Otherwise enjoyed it and would recommend it.

Great Cabin Nestled in The Heart of Cherokee Lands

Amazing cabin with great views of mountains. I've managed to get there twice now since July. Worth ever minute of the 4 hr drive from Charlotte. Went once on a guy's fishing trip. Lake Nantahala is minutes away and we hit the bronzebacks hard (smallmouth) Later that day we boated to the river mouth and caught multiple trout and then explore-hiked up stream. Second trip was a b-day trip with my fiance. This cabin passes lady muster all day. Beds are comfy, Mike has thought of everything! If you think you forgot it, I bet Mike has what you need in one of the cabinets...soap, coffee, sheets its all there. The most important thing for me was that Mike treats his guests like family. He's prompt and well organized. He makes booking agents look slow. Rates are great compared to anything else in the area. Last thing, the driveway...if you like fourwheelin its fun! If you do not like sitting in a manor that reminds you of astronaut camp park at the bottom. The driveway is well maintained but steep. Any vehicle w out true 4x4 (all wheel drive) just park and walk. Its a short albeit steep jaunt but there's plenty to see and its invigorating to be out in God's country anyway. I finish by saying this is a well appointed base camp. Don't plan on bringing a family of 5 and sittin inside, you'll be on the news for wielding an axe and yelling "Herrrres Johnny." A (1) rainy day is fully survivable, plenty of dvds. Smawlie is the definition of mountain cabin designed for outdoor ppl who want to be outdoors!

Magnifient Views and Intense Peace

This small cabin high atop a hill provided us with the peace and quiet we were craving. The view of Autumn mountains from the large deck was magnificent. As soon as we sat down the feeling of quietness and peace enveloped us. There's a grill on the deck for cooking and plenty of propane. Just be sure to pull it a little away from the railing before cooking. The cabin is small. It amazed us, however, how much you can fit into a tiny space. Full galley kitchen, dishwasher, washer and dryer, full fridge, etc. The indoor decoration is charming and there are both air conditioners and heaters. While this place can sleep 6, if you fold out the futon, ideally, these six should be pretty comfortable in small quarters. The tiny loft upstairs is best for children or young, athletic adults. This is an older cabin, it doesn't look as new as it does in the photos. While it could use a little exterior TLC primarily to keep it in good shape, we didn't come for the view of the cabin, we came for the isolation. Speaking of which there is an even smaller rental a little ways down the hill and on evenings when both parties are outside you can hear voices, but not what they are saying. The cabin has a firepit, which was a primary requirement. There's nothing like a warm fire to cook food over and talk. It is surprising how many mountain vacation rentals do not have this essential item. The wood stump chairs were rather old, but they made a great fire wall to reflect heat back at us. We sat in the outdoor deck chairs. We ABSOLUTELY LOVED this place. It feels so good up there, and I dearly hope that we can come back. I strongly recommend this for a couple looking to get away. It's the perfect size. The only time we were disturbed was by people coming up the hill to "look at" the cabin we were rented. I'd appreciate it if the management could tell people not to do this after 3pm, when others have checked in. It's stressful. While we didn't take much advantage of the trails or the lake access, we did drive around a bit in this beautiful part of the country and loved every minute of it. It is rare to find a place that is so peacefully secluded and provides such wonderful views. Just remember: you WILL need an all-wheel-drive. It's impossible to get to this cabin without one. If your goal is to get away and be surrounded by beauty, this is the place for you.

We love to share our cabin with folks that enjoy the outdoors like you do. Thanks for bringing up those issues. We do encourage our guests at our other cabins not to intrude upon the other guests. The virus has us locked down (active duty military) so we are on travel restriction. Otherwise, we would have done our annual maintenance of the cabin and restain the deck and cabin itself. We did hire a contractor to replace the old outdated air conditioning unit with the new mini split system. As soon as we are able, we will go up and finish the beautification of this year's projects.

The best birthday/vacation by far!

The Smawlie cabin was such a beautiful get away! We loved every bit of it. The cabin is very well stocked and was exceptionally clean upon arrival. The view from the porch will make you want to sit and stare off in the mountains all day long! It did rain here and there during our stay, but it didn’t stop us from being able to enjoy relaxing in the hot tub and taking in the greatest view from the porch that I have personally seen. The Henries definitely made this cabin feel like home. We appreciated every single moment and even had a candle lit birthday dinner on the porch (once the rain cleared for a bit). The only complaint we could ever come up with in regards to the Smawlie cabin would be that a four day trip is not enough! We took the hiking trail and although we drove the driveway (we had a 4x4 vehicle) we found ourselves at the bottom of the driveway after taking a little adventure on the trails. I have to admit, the drive way is definitely an experience of it’s own! I got half way up( I’m no hiker by any means) and I almost convinced my other half to run up and get the truck to come save me.. haha! Luckily though he laughed me all the way up the drive way and it felt good to accomplish it by foot. On another note, the Lakes End Marina is a great place to dine in while staying at Smawlie! We had lunch there and rented a pontoon boat and it was a great experience!! Thank you to the Henries, we are so thankful that you shared this beautiful cabin in the mountains with us!!

My boyfriend and I wanted to truly get away from everything and this cabin was more than we could have imagined. It was immaculately clean and had plenty of supplies for us to cook our own meals. Thank God the weather was dry and we had 4 wheel drive, the driveway is no joke. The hot tub was wonderful and we enjoyed sitting g by the fire at night. The complete privacy and stunning views made it one of the best vacations ever. Cannot wait to go back. Thank you!

Tiny, Charming Cabin For Those Who Want to Get Away from Everything

This charming small cabin is not for everyone. As the description says, it is so isolated and remote that it does not have cell phone service. For those who really want and need to get away from it all--including all phone and social media contacts--you can do exactly that here. This place is perfect if you want peace from the fast pace of life and constant interruptions and pings from your devices, if you want to just sit quietly and listen to the majestic wind in the trees and maybe read a book, if you enjoy conversations with real humans in cool outdoors air around a roaring fire under the stars far more than texting. Although the cabin is small, it can theoretically sleep five people, especially if two of the people are rather small (the loft is tiny and accessed by ladder, but has twin beds and toys). In some seasons the hot tub is out on the porch (this was so for our late October trip) and all you need do is set it to the right temperature. The grill on the porch was perfect for steaks and the view from the cabin, perched as high as it is, is spectacular, particularly in the Autumn. Take the warnings seriously: the road up is very steep and rough, so, as the description says, you will need an all-wheel-drive to get there (the option of parking at the bottom of the hill exists, but it's a long trek up that winding, steep road, especially with luggage or supplies). This place is warm and cosey! There is one bathroom with a full bath/shower and plenty of cabinets that contain extra blankets. There are several heating units. We were comfortably warm. There is also a TV and some kind of external media player which we have not explored. The cabin has a small but fully supplied kitchen, stove, toaster, dishwasher, washer/dryer, etc. The shelves contain many seasoning spices, but they might not be what you like, so check them carefully before making a grocery run. The cabin overall is charming, warm, wood-paneled, and very homey. It's perfect for a couple, but, as mentioned above, it can sleep up to five. It's a great place to get away from urban culture and enjoy nature in all its splendor and surprises. For those who want a bit more than just nature, you are about a 20-mile drive from Cherokee, NC, which is quite the tourist destination! The Nantahala river is a bit longer drive but also worth a visit, especially if you like to raft.

Hidden Slice of Heaven

My wife and I had an absolutely incredible time staying at Smawlie. Nantahala itself is truly a secret little piece of heaven in the hills of North Carolina. The cabin itself was everything we were hoping for; it was very private and secluded, very clean, and very cozy. If you’re looking to just shut in and relax away from the tides of life it is the perfect little cabin. If you are more of an adventurer it is still the perfect cabin! There is so much to do in the surrounding area, from boating, fishing, hiking, to white water rafting and gem mining! We even made our way to the casino in Cherokee one night! We brought our boat along and it really made the trip incredible. If you go when it’s warm out I highly recommend renting a boat from lakes end marina and spending at least a day on the lake, the water is absolutely incredible, the views are breathtaking, and if you look hard enough you can find your own little coves to anchor down and have your own private swimming hole. Speaking of swimming holes you HAVE to check out the secret swimming holes the owner shares about after reserving your stay. We went to both and had them all to ourselves for an unbelievable romantic evening. If Smawlie is not available the owners have some other cute cabins nearby but it is definitely my favorite. We drove our 4x4 truck and we were super glad we did! The driveway itself was an awesome experience. Regardless if you choose to stay at Smawlie, you HAVE to go to Nantahala, it is now my favorite place in the world and I promise you, you will not regret visiting yourself, it truly is heaven on earth!

Hilltop heaven

Just what we hoped it would be! Perfectly located to enjoy any of the outdoor adventures Nantahala has to offer. Need to unwind? Recuperate from life's demands? Stay in @the cabin, build a fire, soak up nature's sights&sounds, & stargaze from the hottub. We spent the week exploring, dreaming & reconnecting- it was the perfect anniversary vacation.

So glad you found us and were able to enjoy #Smawlie. We love to share the cabin with like minded outdoor enthusiasts who like to unwind from the world for a few days.

Owner is great but sometimes life happens😅

Looked like a great place for honeymoon or a getaway from any sort of civilization and cell service. We showed up place and location is beautiful but the cleaners for the property hadn't shown up and there was a miss communication between them and owner so we showed up to dirty linen and all that ended up not staying because it was our honeymoon and we weren't planning on cleaning anything. Other than that we got all our money back with no hiccups and we might return in the future. Life just happened and it wasn't the owners fault but would recommend it to friends and family for sure.

We still feel terrible that Jenny and her new husband showed up to a cabin that hadn't been changed over from the previous guest. We did refund their stay, buy them dinner, and when they do return we will give them an extra night stay for free. We wish so badly that they could have experienced the beauty of the mountains - and even though we had the cabin cleaned that night - they chose to spend the rest of the week at another location closer to Asheville. Like she said - sometimes life happens, and despite our best efforts to rectify - it still stinks to have missed the chance to host Jenny on her honeymoon. I KNOW she'd have preferred to stay with us, so we're looking for her return to the area.

Enchanted by the stories of her childhood, our family loved visiting my mother's Ferguson relatives at their "sacred grove" and hiking the mountain trails with my Uncles. My mother was raised on the property when there was no running water or electricity. When my Grandfather passed away in the 1989 our family inherited a parcel of the property that had been passed from one generation to another in our family since the 1830's. I embraced my father's vision of developing and building cabins for our family on our 'family' land in North Carolina and shared that vision with my wife when we first got married. Even as we were finishing our degrees at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah we began saving. In 2003 I joined the Air Force and was stationed at Warner Robins, GA. We practically raised our boys on the weekends hiking up and down the mountains trying to find the right spot for our first cabin. In 2005 my Uncle Frank granted us 4.88 acres of his inheritance and we eventually built the cabin you see here. In 2007 we were transferred to Alaska. After 6 heavenly years there we received orders, and in 2013 made the epic 45 day journey from Alaska to Virginia - via 17 National Parks, to Langley AFB, VA. In January 2017 I purchased my Uncle Frank's remaining parcel which now is enjoyed by our guests staying at "Frank's Landing" - another Log Cabin next to a stream in the field below Smawlie. In 2019 we added another Tiny Home named "Little Red" between the other cabins. Our plan is to further develop the "backside" property with more cabins as our family is growing faster than we can finance and build cabins!
