Sunset View over the Mountains! Rustic Cabin w/ Hot Tub

When we say this home has a little bit of everything, we mean it! This beautiful 3 bed, 1 bath cottage is perfectly nestled in the woods with direct access to the main road, in between Bryson City, Robbinsville, and the Nantahala Gorge. This rustic cabin has been restored and repurposed from a family home to a luxury vacation rental with the most beautiful sunset anywhere in the region.

If you're one to enjoy the outdoors, you are in luck. Less than a half-mile from the Tsali bike trail system, only five miles away from the Nantahala Outdoor Center, and one mile away from the boat ramps accessing Fontana Lake! Close to the Tail of the Dragon, you will be near one of the most sought-after motorcycle destinations in the nation. This property borders the National Forest Service, with signs posted all around. If you enjoy more of the scenery, you're also in luck - enjoy the breathtaking views from all around this house, whether it's on the ride in or just sitting in the spacious hot tub.

This home is boat-friendly, motorcycle friendly, and HANDICAPPED-friendly! Easy driveway access is directly accessible from the four-lane highway, yet this home is still secluded from the rest of the world. Take a moment and relax from the stress of life on the covered back porch, with a view all the way to Cade's Cove, TN.

Beautiful mountain oasis!
Super impressed by this cabin! The pictures on the putside dont do it justice for what you get on the inside! Beautiful views, very large hottub and easy to access from the main roads. ( no steep mountain driving) We stayed for the weekend with our family of 6 at The Smokey Mountain Railroad which was about 17min away! Highly recommend! to enjoy a ride at Polar Express at the Thtain

Great for the soul
Tsali Sunset provided the perfect quick getaway for our very busy family. It was absolutely gorgeous from the cabin to the sunsets and the hot tub under the stars at night. Thank you for providing our family with the rest, rejuvenation and reconnection we desperately needed!!! We will be back for sure :)

Loved our stay!
The cabin was very comfortable, and communication with the owners was quick and easy. So much natural beauty, outdoor exploration, and mountain river fishing in the area. We used the hot tub and fire pit every evening. We would definitely recommend this location!

Amazing stay
My family and I were in town for the polar express train ride and I decided to book this location. It’s 15 mins away from Bryson city and 30 mins from Cherokee. It was a beautiful stay. The view was amazing. There were only a few things that caught my eye, the amount of stink bugs and lady bugs were surprising and a tad unsettling, as we didn’t want to take home any bugs. To be expected in a wooded area but definitely not what we were used to. The air units/heaters were a little difficult to operate and the hot tub was confusing as well a few jets didn’t work and it kept cutting on and off by itself. I wasn’t sure if it had a timer or what. Lastly, I wish there was more security features in the cabin. Being that we were 3 women and a child traveling, it was scary being out there in the dark with only the keypad to lock the door. BUT these items didn’t take away from how clean and beautiful the cabin was and I would definitely book again!!!!!! Thank youuuuu

Just a short vacation for two. The views were amazing but still had easy access to the highway. We didn’t use the kitchen but seemed to have everything you would need. We would definitely stay again!

We enjoyed our stay. The view and outdoor space was our favorite! The house offered all the necessities and space for our family. The neighboring towns were easy to get to and Gatlinburg was a nice drive. We would stay here again and recommend to future visitors.

Just great
This is one of the best cabins I have stayed in. Previously stayed in cabins in Servierville, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The views were amazing and the cabin was so well equipped and very clean. The water pressure in the shower was great too. Would thoroughly recommend this to anyone planning a trip to the Smokies.

Beautiful Big Sky!
Pat and John communicated wonderfully before and during our stay! Gave us recommendations on restaurants - favorite was Tapico Tavern. House was as described and had everything we needed for 3 days. Fire pit, hot tub and the stars in the sky really were the best! Will come back!!!
