About this cabin rental

Enjoy the cool creek side or cast a line for trout; sleep to the sounds of the rushing creek or a gentle rain from the metal roof. Our unique, rustic, and comfortable cabin is located outside of Bryson City - only a few miles from the beautiful Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

The ten-window, secluded, enclosed back porch invites you to relax as you watch the variety of birds while listening to the rushing mountain stream just 30 yards away. Enjoy sitting on the deck down on the river or roasting marshmallows at the creek side fire pit. This quaint, two-to-five person cabin consists of an eat-in kitchen, one bathroom, one-bedroom with a queen-size bed, and a very large, vaulted ceiling, cozy living room with original wide-pine flooring and wormy chestnut walls, flat screen 50" TV, a gas-log fireplace and comfy furniture.

The TV includes Dish satellite, streaming capability (bring your login info) and wireless internet.

*Please note that this cabin is not wheelchair/handicap friendly, as shown in the photo gallery; there are steps at both exterior entrances and three steps indoors leading to the bathroom and bedroom area.

This quaint cabin has the best equipped kitchen of any VRBO we've stayed at. What a happy surprise! Being seniors & one with balance issues, it would have been helpful to know about the 8 steps down to the cabin plus the steps inside down to the bedroom/bath. The pictures online don't show them and they're not mentioned in the description. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the hosts were very helpful & responded quickly to our questions.

It was a lovely country home stay. Well equipped kitchen very homey and comfortable. More neighbors than I expected but still fairly private. The creek was nice and we enjoyed the historic homestead of a past generation. Great stay!

From the moment we walked through the door we felt at home! The house was impeccably clean, the yard was beautiful! Everything was just as promised! We enjoyed evenings at the fire, daytime with our feet in the creek, and cooked some wonderful meals in the best equipped kitchen I have ever stayed at! We will definitely be back over and over! Thank you so much for being such a wonderful host and hostess. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

We absolutely loved everything about this cabin, everything you need is there. The cabin has a lot of Character about, the creek behind the cabin with the fire pit was so relaxing! Will definitely be going back! It was the first mountain trip for my husband and me alone and was everything we needed❤️❤️❤️

We took our 9 year old daughter and we all had such a great week. The cabin is clean and had everything we needed. Even though you are out away from everything, you are still close to everything. The river was so peaceful. It rained the last two days and the road to and from was very safe. Beautiful scenery on the drives. Will definitely be back. The only downside was there is no outside covering for when it rains.

Peaceful Creek Cabin is a perfect description. My wife enjoyed a much needed getaway. The cabin is very quiet and cozy. We loved sitting in the back room and listening to the creek. It was a perfect experience for us. Highly recommend this property!

This was the perfect place for a couples getaway for the long holiday weekend. Well-stocked kitchen made breakfast easy each morning. The fireplace made the whole cabin nice and toasty; we used it to get the chill out of the air in the morning and at the end of the day of exploring Bryson City and other local points of interest. We would stay here again!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this lovely cabin. Everything was pristine when we walked in and had everything we needed for our stay. When we go back to this area, we will definitely stay again. Learning about the historic cabin was amazing, it took me back in time to the lovely family that lived there. Thank you Don & Rosemarie, you truly made our visit so enjoyable, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Blessings to you both and hope you share this little cabin for many more years.

The cabin is warm and comfortable. You feel right at home from the moment you walk in. We kept the windows open and you could hear the creek running from inside the cabin. Definitely did not disappoint. If you are looking for a quiet getaway in the mountains this is it!

The property itself was wonderful, exactly what we were hoping for. The only drawback to the entire experience had nothing to do with the property, only its location. The road to get to it was a little on the long, winding, and narrow side, but that is to be expected in the middle of the mountains. The fact that Bryson City really didn't have much to interest us beyond the railroad trip we came for is the real reason we're not likely to come back again. There's just not a lot going on near the cabin, very few restaurants, shopping, or anything but mountains. Again, NOT the fault of the property or its owners, who have a lovely place, one I am sure will be utterly perfect for many types of vacationers.

I liked the cabin and listening to the River. Not having cell service was not safe. Something needs to be changed in order to get tv stations. Very frustrating trying to watch tv when it goes out and freezes every few minutes.

My husband and I enjoyed a quiet long weekend in this simple cabin. Lovely creek right out back and even found a trailhead close by and hiked up to the falls. We didn’t want to do too much, just wanted a simple getaway and this place provided just that.

From the moment we arrived until the sad moment when we had to leave my husband and I had the best time ❤️ Absolutely the coziest place ever! So much love and detail went in to making it that way. And then to put icing on the cake there’s a beautiful little yard with the creek flowing over the river rocks. The enclosed sunroom was perfect with cute painted rocks and wood at every window. The bedroom, kitchen, living room, and bathroom are just as adorable. We don’t have one single complaint. 5 stars!!!

I absolutely loved this little cabin, was the perfect size for me. The kitchen was well equipped with everything needed as far as utensils, plates, cups, etc and even many spices and oil for cooking. The bed was comfortable and the large walk in shower divine. The creek out back provided a lovely melody to sleep to since it was cool enough to have the windows open. Definitely want to come back and relax there again!

Quaint cabin that is well furnished. It is located away from the hustle of everyday life. The stream is like background music while sitting around the firepit at night. Really enjoyed the peace and tranquility of our surroundings and only about 10 miles away from downtown Bryson City and the depot. The town is a must to explore the shops, see the train, and enjoy ice cream while making lasting memories.

This cute, little cabin housed a weekend full of sweet memories. What started out as a place to stay to see my grandson graduate from kindergarten turned into a playful weekend on yesterday holidays missed. The host approved for our sweet family to come over for a meal by the firepit. My grandsons played their little hearts out with the vintage toys in the sunroom/porch. Memories were made in the river behind as the kids and mom played in the water, catching crawfish, roasting marshmallows, eating smores, hunting Easter eggs in June so this Grandma could watch. The rocking chairs became bonding time with the youngest after he tired from chasing chickens. This cabin became our weekend home to share with our littles loves. We will be back!

My partner and I went up for a long Memorial Weekend. The booking and communication with the host was easy with quick host response. The cabin and property were absolutely serene! The creek with the fire pit going in the evening were exactly the respite needed from fast paced jobs. The home was equipped with everything needed down to a stocked spice cabinet and board games. The only negative is know this property is on a small gravel drive with two other very close properties. The cabin next door had house full of kids renting for the weekend which was not an issue until they continued to run all over our yard chasing chickens. Kids are wonderful but not so much on a romantic weekend getaway. Pro tip take the hike at the end of Deep Gap Rd to find an amazing 200ft waterfall!
