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.)

Great cabin with a wonderful view.
This property is up where you can see the valley and the mountains across from it. It’s quiet with everything you need for a short, medium or long stay. We unplugged as well as watched the NFL season opener. Day trips nearby and further are spectacular.

It was great. Driving into town was beautiful and the people were so nice. Only one complaint was the lighting in the bathroom was lacking. They could use more.

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.

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).

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.

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!

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.

The view is spectacular, and it is so quiet. Only saw the neighbors once and that is while they drove by the cabin going to their place. I would place this in the top 6 of all the VRBO's I've stayed in.

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 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.

Best home/view in the mountains
This was our second year staying a month in this cabin. We couldn’t be happier with it and it’s host/owner. Communication with her was superb. The house is beautifully furnished, comfortable (I was thrilled with the recliner) and has all the accessories you could ask for. While we had trouble with the TV a year ago, DISH TV was great this time and had better channels (except alas, no good sports). The internet works great and I could have Zoom work meetings with no problem except my fear of using too much internet. (The host reports she is trying to procure unlimited internet, which would make this stay absolutely perfect). This house has the best view of any we have stayed at in the area, and it’s road now has more blacktop than the year before and is easily accessible without 4 wheel drive). We couldn’t have been more pleased with this ‘home away from home’ with its soothing sound of waterfalls in the background.
