Nantahala Magical & Serene Mountain Views, Pet Friendly

Log cabin features fantastic views, with privacy on a serene mountain side. Be lulled to sleep by the cool wispy mountain breezes and the sounds of the river down below. On the covered back porch, relax in several log rockers and watch the clouds float by and the ever changing skyline of the Smokies. B-B-Q your catch of the day or your favorite meat on the grilll; or enjoy picnic on on the Amish picnic table on the back porch. Hikes up and down the mountain display laurel, wildflowers, blue & black berries private road. We regularly seen flocks of wild turkey, deer, rabbits & other wild life.

Plenty of comfy furniture to laze away a rainy day & listen for the dramatic raining sounds over the metal roof on the big rocking porch. Cozy up in front of the stone fireplace. 2-Satellite TVs with DVD & VHS with library of kid-friendly movies. We have just over 1 gigabyte of data available per night of stay; and we can get more upon request for small fee.

Just down the scenic 4 mile road past two amazing waterfalls (pictured below) is the launch site for rafting the Nantahala. Just 4 miles the other direction is the beautiful Nantahala Lake. Three rafting companies conveniently close to drive. NOC approximately 6 miles from river launch site. **Note, the steep inclines on our gravel, mountain road were just recently paved which should make our road passable by any 4-6 cylinder vehicle. (Please note: our town is Topton; Bryson City is about 35-40 minutes from us.)

Beautiful view!
The view is spectacular. The cabin is clean and very cozy. There is plenty of hiking trails nearby. We enjoyed our stay very much, and spent a ton of time out on the porch enjoying the view. A qarning about the driveway up to the cabin: its steep and curvy. Highly recommend doing it in daylight the first time. We had our Camaro with us and it made the trip up the hill without any problem.

We loved our stay at the cabin. Clean and had everything you would need for a nice comfortable stay. The view was amazing. We could hear the waterfalls and river from the back porch. So peaceful and relaxing. So glad we stayed there for our family summer vacation.

Amazing cabin with beautiful view
The cabin was very nice and well maintianed. The back porch view was truly amazing durning the fall colors. The road to the cabin is not motorcycle acessible unless using a small trailer to pull bikes up and down. Great location for the lake and a Wayah rd is a must to travel on and take time to enjoy. I would recommend and revisit this cabin. No cell phone service for us in the cabin (verizon).

Best place and view ever!
We have stayed at this wonderful home for a month on three different occasions in the last three years. It is everything the write-up describes and much, much more. The view is the best one we’ve ever had, and we’ve been coming to the Nantahala Gorge area for at least 15 years. The house is comfortable and well stocked and there is a lovely one mile walk up and back down the mountain right out the door. I can’t say enough about this place and it’s owner, who communicates quickly when needed!

Knock out view
The property ideal for two although it can sleep 6. The indoor fireplace and thankfully firewood provided makes a very cozy cabin when the mountain rain weather hunkers in. Super benefit you can bring your animal babies. You must be country tough as in order to see this view you’ve got to have the know how to manage the steep drive in and out. The owner is awesome to communicate with.

A Much Needed Getaway...
The pictures don't do this view justice. There is a gorgeous SW facing balcony that allows you to catch a little sunset and we watched the fall leaves change throughout the week. This cabin is perfectly nestled near Topton with beautiful Lake Nantahala nearby. You won't get much cell reception but isn't that the point? Unplug and enjoy a relaxing time reconnecting with nature.

Best View Ever
The great scenery started on the road leading to the cabin and got better when we walked out on the porch. It was raining so the creek that runs along the main road was roaring and spectacular. We were not sure our car would make it up the hills with the rain and the leaves on the road but we had no problems at all. The cabin is well equipped in the kitchen and comfortable but without a doubt the view is the show stopper. There is plenty to do in the area whether you want to be lazy or super active physically. We enjoyed our time and hope to return soon.

Great place for disconnect
Enjoyed coming to the mountains to recover from a beach vacation on the days prior. The location, disconnect from cell and the thoughtful touches and amenities from the host made this place perfect. We enjoyed the fireplace during the cold front that moved in and even made use of the fire pit outside. Kitchen is well stocked as well for making dinner. We were only here for a short time but packed in the Tail of the Dragon, foothills parkway and a trip to Wayah Bald for the beautiful 360 degree views at over 5,000 foot elevation. We will definitely keep this place in mind for the future and appreciate the host for their thoughtful set up of it all.

Beautiful Cabin
The cabin is as beautiful as the pictures if not more. The kitchen was equipped with all the essentials that you need to cook. One suggestion is to bring a few extra trash bags as the accumulation of trash can happen fast if you are cooking for a family and although there are trash sites on certain days, it was a bit of a challenge for us. But we made it work. The other is, definitely want to arrive in daylight your first day. We didn't get there till 10pm and the road was a bit scary. However, after your first time you will be okay. The host was very responsive and quickly.

A peaceful and beautiful stay
We had a great time at the cabin. The view and everything you see in the surrounding area are just breathtaking. Be careful if you drive in to the area from US 129, the Dragon Tail portion can be crazy on a nice sunny Saturday like we encountered. The cabin had everything we needed, even some cooking oil and spices, a crock pot, and even some cortisone cream in the bathroom for first aid. There was also plenty of firewood. We enjoyed our quiet and private week long getaway with our toddler and pug, and would love to return someday when the toddler is big enough to enjoy the river sports! Access to GSMNP was easy through Cherokee we got to know the roads very well in just a week. We recommend the hike to the fire tower on the Appalachian Trail (tellico gap if I remember correctly) not far from the cabin. Also Bryson City is easy to get to and a nice little town to explore while visiting the road to nowhere.

As it was meant to be
A beautiful clean cabin. View is spectacular. Was fortunate enough see an Eagle riding the air currents from the porch view. Seen stars that I had not seen for many years. Quiet, peaceful, could hear a creek running a hundreds yards or so away. Could have solved all the worlds problems for a short while. Then reality, we had to leave after our time was up. Many places to go within a peaceful driving distance. Bryson City and Sylva. Gatlinburg not much further. Can't say enough about how nice this was. Also, when you wanted to keep up with the world the t.v. was big enough to see, not like some other places you've got to pull chairs up closers 10+ tom & Peg.

A View that Rivals a Great Masterpiece
The drive up the first time is a little scary (especially at night), but you’ll get used to it. The place is cozy and clean. The back porch is the crème de la crème of this beautiful property. Every day the view was changed by the weather. Our cell phone didn’t work, but the limited internet data gave us the ability to text. It’s a getaway that truly helps you get away from all the ruckus of daily life. The river on Wayah road has numerous waterfalls, that rival most of the falls in the national park. You could spend your days photographing them, fly fishing, tubing, or rafting on the numerous rivers in the area. Don’t forget to fire up the grill for some grilled fresh trout you catch from the river. I’d rate this place a slice of Heaven above the clouds among a sea of green. Can’t imagine what this place looks like in the Fall. Do some research before you come, because there’s so much you can do. Or just hang out at the cabin and do nothing, s’mores around a campfire, games on the back porch. Either way, you’ll have a magical time.

Beautiful views nestled into a quiet mountainside
My girlfriend and I stayed for a week with our dog and enjoyed a much-needed respite from our hectic schedules. The cabin is about 3/4 the way up a steep, winding, one lane gravel road on the side of a hill, but we were able to access in a minivan without issue. We almost didn’t rent this property because it initially seemed like it would be too remote, but we don’t regret our decision one bit. It was convenient enough to everything in Western NC, Southern TN, and Northern GA that we were interested in while providing a genuine mountain experience. The pictures in the listing cannot possibly do justice to the beautiful view off the back deck where we enjoyed morning coffees and evening drinks. There is a beautiful river that runs along the main road which seemed to have good trout fishing based on the numerous fishermen we saw, and lots of cool attractions nearby that you would likely miss out on unless you stayed here. There was little to no cell service at the cabin, which while initially alarming, proved to be the most wonderful thing. A landline was available in case of emergency, the WiFi worked well for necessary deliberate communications with the outside world, and we enjoyed being “unplugged” otherwise. We definitely look forward to renting this cabin again in the future!

Peace, quiet, and restoration.
Judy was responsive with all of our needs. There was a mix up with the house cleaner but Judy reconciled the issues and clearly communicated with us. Overall, cleanliness was acceptable and the house keeper was waiting on me to leave the morning I checked out. The drive on Wayah Rd follows the Nantahala River, there are several pull overs to view waterfalls and explore along the river banks. The view from the back porch and having to disconnect from our cell phones was worth every penny spent. There is a land line for emergencies and how my husband called in the evenings to check in and enough wi-fi to download maps for your next day's adventures. I refused to check my work email :) Bryson City is about 30 minutes away and 45 minutes to and hour for the Cherokee side of the GSMNP. The NOC is within 10-15 minutes from the cabin for watersports. We did not raft, but enjoyed sitting by the river listening to live music while drinking a local beer. I do recommend arriving before dark your first drive in to become familiar with the sharp turns of Wayah Rd and the steepness of the driveway. My front wheel drive SUV made it up and down the driveway without any trouble, even after it rained. I can imagine 4-wheel drive or chains would be necessary in icy/snowy conditions. It is also quite the hike if you don't feel like traveling but want to exercise and enjoy the magic of these mountains. The Rhododendron were in full bloom, lining the driveway along with many other wildflowers and berries. You don't get this view without a little work. The only sounds were birdsong, the river, and thunderstorms. There is also no light pollution, so I highly recommend turning off all the cabin lights and letting your eyes adjust for the best star gazing on clear nights. All appliances needed to cook were available. The rooms were comfortable sizes and plenty of space for all of us. My niece loved the "closet" bed. My only recommendations are a swing or somewhere to hang hammocks and a full length mirror upstairs.

The cabin was as described and had all we needed to cook dinner our first night there. I do wish we had realized that there are no towns close by and no stores. The deck outside was perfect to enjoy the mountain view and cool crisp air!
