Your next adventure awaits you at The Cullowhee Cabin! From the time you drive up and see the spectacular mountain view until the time you are whisked off back to reality, you feel at peace at this beautiful mountain retreat. Every detail has been meticulously thought out in making this a restful and relaxing adventure. The Cullowhee Cabin is located in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains, specifically, it sits in the Blue Ridge Sub-range of Southern Appalachia. The Appalachian mountains are within the broader Great Smoky Mountain Region. Whether you're here for just a peaceful retreat or to adventure off to one of the many activities or nearby cities, The Cullowhee Cabin is ready to host you.
Our cabin has been designed for entertainment and to make you feel like you're part of the family. The open floor plan, great room, dining, and kitchen area allow you to entertain family, prepare meals in the fully stocked kitchen, and enjoy the property's natural beauty all from one space. All the windows and sliding doors in this area invite you to become one with nature and enjoy the views, sounds, and creatures that inhabit the natural landscapes. Warm up by the buck stove in the living room or turn on the propane fireplace and baseboard heaters during the cooler months to bring warmth to the entire cabin! During the warmer months, a great cross-breeze naturally cools the entire cabin with the windows and sliding screen door open. The cabin is located at nearly 4300 ft elevation therefore it needs no air conditioning and occasionally needs a fan during the warmer months. There are two large and cozy bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms that create your private spaces. The guest Chipmunk Suite with an Iron queen bed and a charming chipmunk theme makes it a great spot to wind down for the day with an upgraded, luxurious bathroom ensuite with a custom vanity and luxury bath linens. The Master Bear Suite has a custom King size log bed with all kinds of personal touches, including an adorable bear theme, a large ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower and custom double vanity sinks, and luxurious bath linens. The fully stocked kitchen rounds out the main floor living space with all the appliances and cookware/utensils you would need to make a great meal for your family, as well as all the dishware for serving up your scrumptious meals!
The outdoor space is where the magic all happens! A beautiful covered wood deck with tons of viewing areas of the gorgeous mountain views. Outdoor dining options at the custom family wood dining table, or sit around for a game of cards or checkers at the round table! There are several cozy spots to curl up with a good cup of coffee or tea and read a book or simply enjoy the views and sounds of nature around you. A propane heater is available for use on the covered back deck (with intertwined Mountain Laurel Wood) to help keep you warm and enjoying your evening outside.
Follow the gravel path off the main deck to the fire pit and grilling area, where you have a large outdoor wood-burning fire pit and a propane gas grill awaiting those family BBQ nights or over the fire dinners and s'mores! There are plenty of options for outdoor spaces to enjoy the serene property. The front yard is where nature comes alive as you watch deer walking through the yard and chipmunks running and playing with each other. Hundreds of species of birds call the NC mountains home and while you are here you will have the pleasure of hearing a handful of the seasonal migratory birds as well as the ones that call this area home! Be sure to take in the moment and enjoy all the hard work that has been laid out to get you where you are at that moment, the long hours of work, the hours of drive time it took to get you here, and the team that's behind every stay, making sure your visit is absolutely perfect, Cheers to your upcoming stay with us at The Cullowhee Cabin!
