WINTER IN THE THE SMOKIES! 180 DEGREE MOUNTAIN VIEW! CLOSE TO CHEROKEE CASINO!

Winter in the Smoky Mountains!
When you rent from us!
YOU don’t just get a Cabin!
YOU GET A VIEW!

Winter in the Smoky Mountains! There are mild winter conditions. Days are in the 40's and 50's. The nights can go down in the 30's. Snow is not a big problem! We usually get less than a week to 2 weeks of snow. There are still blue skies! The sun sets early in the late afternoon.
The forest is a mix or fir, spruce, and pine trees with a beautiful winter canopy in the higher elevations. Hard wood trees oak, cedar and buckeye trees have lost THIER leaves and you can actually see through the forest! Mountain View's are now easier to see the mountains. We have a incredible northerly 30 mile view of the Smoky Mountains!
The rivers, streams, and creeks are flowing and the winter fly fishing season is under way.

A cabin “OFF” the beaten trail in an ecological paradise! The property is 3 1/2 acres on top of a mountain ridgeline with an elevation of 2600 feet above sea level! The view will exceed your expectations!

The cabin has two bedrooms and one bathroom, and a great room, with kitchen, dining area, couches, and laundry. You'll find a well-stocked kitchen, including a new convection oven, a micro wave, and a Keurig coffee machine!

The dining table for four; provides a sunset view over the mountains.
There are Two comfortable leather couches (one is a La-z-boy couch with recliners on the ends) which look out over the Smokies.
The master bedroom has a king sized bed with a down comforter for those cool mountain nights.
The guest bedroom has two trundle single beds.
The bathroom has a shower (no tub) with grab bars.

Pine tongue and groove walls and ceiling with red oak floors, walls, give the "cabin" a “Cozy in the Forrest” feeling!

The first road after you leave the paved street is Crystal Creek Lane!
It is a half mile long gravel road that ends at our road Sapahaw Trail.
Sapahaw trail which is a narrow but well-maintained half mile winding gravel mountain road.
These gravel roads are not LIGHTED.

Sapahaw Trail leads up to the property entrance.
At The property entrance there is a 600' concrete twin ramp drive way that any vehicle can easily go up. As you approach the driveway a automatic light will come on.

Rear wheel drive vehicles will need to use low gear and use a slow consistent speed going up the road. If you have front wheel drive or all wheel drive you can drive in normal gear!

The cabin has a northerly 180* view of the Cherokee Indian Reservation; the Smoky Mountain National Park including Clingman's Dome, (the highest point in the Smokies)!

There are numerous roads and hiking trails into the surrounding mountain ranges! You can essentially hike all the way to the Tennessee border.

There is plenty of space outdoors to bring a tent if you want to sleep out under the stars.

The property is in a location that will give you peace and quiet! Yet you can get to numerous tourist locations and activities 10-30 minutes away.
