Beautiful Mountain Cabin on Bold Mountain Creek only 5 minutes from Dillsboro NC

The cabin is located on the owner’s 15 secluded acres bordering “The Great Smoky Mountains National Park” and is only 5 miles away from the popular tourist location Dillsboro, NC. Western Carolina University is 20 minutes south in Cullowhee and continuing south is Cashiers, Highlands along with all the famous waterfalls. Asheville is 1 hour to the east or 20 minutes to Waynesville and Maggie Valley. The Cherokee Indian Reservation is north as well as the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and all the outlet malls. To the west is Bryson City, Fontana Lake and the Nantahala Outdoor Center for white water rafting.

The road to the cabin is a state maintained road. The driveway to the cabin is a brand new resurfaced gravel/asphalt drive and parking lot so no need to be concerned about the road or access anytime.

The location of the cabin is the best part with the back porch overlooking Dick’s Creek which is a bold mountain creek that cascades down the mountain in a series of waterfalls and pools. It’s perfect for children to play in or move the rocks around building pools and waterfalls. Additionally, the cabin is stocked with plenty of fresh linens and towels, soaps and detergents, paper towels and trash bags along with a unique collection of cooking utensils. All the items other cabins expect you to bring or spend your valuable vacation time shopping for. All you need to bring is food and drink then spend your time relaxing on the back porch overlooking the creek, or inside by the custom dry-stacked stone fireplace. The cabin has 3 bedrooms with an open loft and can accommodate/sleep a maximum of 7 guest. We now have WIFI via ViaSat.

The three bedrooms have one king, one queen, and one double bed; there is an additional day bed in the loft. The master bedroom and kitchen open onto a large covered deck overlooking the Creek. The living room boasts a tongue and groove vaulted ceiling that is highlighted by a dry-stacked native-stone fireplace. Pets are NOT permitted or smoking.

Everything was great except water had a funny taste and smell. And mattress in master bedroom needs to be replaced. Just about sank to floor on it. Otherwise we all had a really good time there. So peaceful and quiet with creek trickling by outside.

Road to hell
Last 1 1/2 miles to cabin is horrendous. They state in description that it is a state maintained road; if you value your vehicle don't drive it. Cabin is nice enough, but needs a thorough cleaning. Use to clean cabins for a living and never found dead bugs laying around or cobwebs in house or on deck. Always double checked before renter arrived. These were also in mountainous and wooded areas.Pots and pans leave a lot to be desired. Dirty dishes and silverware Will not rent again

Great cabin for family
This is a great place for family vacation. It's up a gravel road and quiet. Open the windows and let in the sounds of the steam in the property. Well equipped kitchen. The fire pit right on the banks of the steam is a delight.

Stayed in cabin for week with 5 grandchildren. Plenty of room for everyone. They loved the creek and large yard for playing. Wife and I enjoyed the massive back covered porch and hearing the flowing creek. Kitchen was well equipped. We never even turned on the TV. Just unplugged. Host was quick to respond to any questions we had during our visit.

Love the creek and porch but…
Good: the cabin is adorable: spacious, cozy, very clean. We loved the deck overlooking the creek as well as the fire pit by the creek. As a serious arachnophobe, I was delighted with how clean the deck was considering it’s in the middle of the woods! I sat out there every morning and most evenings and it was very nice.The grill was super handy several evenings for dinner. Well-stocked with towels, paper products, hand soap, etc. Overall, it was a comfortable and relaxing place to spend a week. Not so good: the road up to the cabin was not “well-maintained” as advertised, at least not if you have a sedan. An suv or 4wd would be fine, but it was not good for our car at all, and I would’ve appreciated a warning about that. The shower heads were very old and not pleasant at all…not a huge expense to change those out. Faucet water pressure was weak, especially in the kitchen. And there were 7 out of 10 missing lightbulbs in the main room, making it very dim and not great for reading. One more thing: the water is terrible. So metallic tasting and smelling. A water filter would be great, although I’m sure that’s an expensive upgrade. One of the things that was so nice about this cabin was the affordability, and we understand upgrades can make that cost go up, but some simple, relatively inexpensive upgrades would make it more pleasant overall. It really is a great cabin in a great location, just needs a little bit of attention.

Perfect for rest and relaxation
This cabin is the perfect place for relaxation. My wife and I enjoyed sitting on the back porch and listing to the creek as it rushed over rocks and logs. The furnishings were old but clean and functional.The location was great for my fly fishing expeditions each day. The cabin was clean and I could rest at the end of the day hiking and wading. Our host Gary was very accommodating when we wanted to extend our stat. We will return again.

Bit of a drive worth the seclusion
We had a great time at the cabin. It is quite a steep drive up but we very much appreciated the privacy wgile still being close enough to dome great hikes. The beds were very comfortable and we had everything we needed to cook all of our meals. The kids enjoyed playing the creek. It is worth noting that the listing states there is a hot tub but it in fact it is a garden tub in the bathroom. Still very nice, just were really hoping for a hot tub.

Thanksgiving Week
We stayed for Thanksgiving week and really enjoyed the house. It is a little dated and needs a few updates but over all clean, comfy and cozy. The creek is a nice bonus. Also the house is stocked with all the paper products you’ll need as well. GPS takes you right to the house and no extra directions are needed which was also nice. We will definitely rent again!

Loved our stay!
We usually take a vacation to the Smokies every year and we always stay at a different place. We decided to stay on the NC side this year. I came across this listing and fell in love. When we got there it didn’t disappoint. The creek that ran behind the cabin was so peaceful. The neighborhood was quiet. There are several other cabins around it but you wouldn’t know it if you weren’t outside looking at them. There were no peace disturbances, loud neighbors, etc. While there we had the unfortunate experience of breaking down on a Friday with a mechanic bit being able to look at the car until Monday. It did take a little bit to get ahold of Gary because he was out of state on business but once I did he was very quick to accommodate us and extend our stay. If we ever travel to this part again we will definitely stay here again.

A PIECE OF HEAVEN
When you are looking for that peaceful and beautiful place to unwind, meditate, sit by the creek and listen to it babble all your worries away or go sightseeing this is where you need to go. You are not far from Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Maggie Valley, Bryson City, Cherokee and many other exciting places to visit. The drive on the Parkway between Cherokee and Gatlinburg is beautiful no matter what time of year. Then come home from exploring and light the fireplace and relax with a cup of hot chocolate or coffee. The neighbors are friendly, but very quiet. Thank you for such a wonderful place to call home.

Overall Great Experience
We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. We loved the porch and the creek! Gary was very responsive to any questions we had. They also had plenty of paper products, laundry detergent, dryer sheets, trash bags, hand soap, dish soap, etc, so you shouldn’t need to bring any of those things. The beds were comfortable except for the daybed, our daughter was not a fan. Getting up the mountain was a little tricky, our SUV and our son’s sedan lost traction a few times, but Gary told us we have to go up a little faster and that would help. It did help, but the last stretch of the road up is gravel and dirt, so your car may need an alignment after your stay. There are a few bumpy spots. Also, do not try to go to Cherokee using Washington Creek Road, we almost got stuck! Overall, it was a great trip, definitely go to Darnell Farms and we also loved Soco Falls!
