About this cabin rental

NOTE: GUESTS MUST HAVE ALL-WHEEL DRIVE OR 4-WHEEL DRIVE ALL YEAR ROUND TO ACCESS THIS CABIN. 3-story two bedroom plus den 2.5 bath rustic log cabin on a fenced and gated two-acre property in a private, secluded location at the summit of Buck Mountain - almost a mile high elevation for cool Summer temps. Lots of privacy and seclusion (no neighbor's homes in view) with year-round, dramatic long-range mountain views. If you like a quiet, forest setting with mountain views and elk, turkey and the occasional black bear wandering up the driveway from time to time this may be the place for you. This cabin is not a large, luxurious sprawling cabin. It is small, rustic and charming and is really only suitable for a couple or a couple with 2 kids or 2 couples. The spaces are tight, the pine floors creak and there is very little sound proofing between floors. But, what this cabin lacks in size and luxury is more than made up for by its charm, private setting and limitless natural beauty and wildlife close by. If you like a vacation spent relaxing out on the porch listening to the birds singing or out picking wildflowers, blueberries and blackberries in the Summer with temps in the 60's and 70's or watching the leaves turn red and gold in the Fall and roasting marshmallows on the fire on a 2-acre fenced and gated property (where your dog can roam free!) and where lots of area attractions such as the GSMNP are close by this cabin may suit you. Its an 8-minute car ride up to the newly renovated Cataloochee Ranch for gourmet dining or for some horseback trail riding or for some winter skiing at the close by Cataloochee Ski Area. NOTE: Dining or horseback riding at Cataloochee Ranch, which is a Relais & Chateaux property, requires reservations well in advance; 828 926 1401 and they offer group or private trail rides and a picnic ride up to the fabulous Swag Country Inn. The Cataloochee Ski Area (open in Winter from approx. Thanksgiving thru March) is just 3 miles away (10 minutes by car). There are guided fly-fishing tours by Maggie Valley Fly Fishing 828 537 2557. You can take a walk around the surrounding neighborhood of rustic cabins or take a drive over to the Great Smoky National Park (GSMNP) with 800 miles of hiking trails (46 minutes by car to the Cataloochee Valley entrance). Download the AllTrails app for info on access to local trail. For longer car trips from the cabin it's a 51 minute drive to the Biltmore Estate and Vineyards (38.2 miles) on I - 40. 45-minute drive to Asheville. 1 hour and 36 minute drive on I-40 W to Gatlinburg. Close to the Cherokee Indian Reservation.
Note: there is no AC in cabin - but high elevation keeps it cool in Summer. This cabin has 3 queen-sized beds. The cabin has 3 levels - 1 bedroom (with queen size bed) with 1 full bath on top floor, 1 bedroom (with queen size bed) plus a den (with queen size bed) with 1 full bath on ground floor, 1/2 bath with washing machine and dryer on living room level (middle level). Wood burning fireplace in living room. Firepit in yard. Hi-speed, reliable WIFI Internet thru Skyrunner. Live feed NEST cam overlooking the driveway (link available if guests want to monitor it during stay).
We recommend you try to arrive before dark on day of check-in and to buy basic groceries (or pre-order groceries on Instacart app) to be delivered on your way before checking in as the road up to the cabin is a rural, mountain road - unpaved (gravel and dirt) and it's a pretty long (1.5 miles) steep drive from the paved road (Fie Top Road) up to the cabin. It's not the sort or road you want to spend a lot of time driving up and down if you can avoid it. If you decide to order groceries on Instacart to be delivered from Publix down in Waynesville just make sure you message the delivery person that they MUST HAVE 4 WHEEL OR ALL WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE to deliver groceries to this cabin. If you are bringing dogs you can close the drive-way gate and pedestrian gates and your dogs can run free on the 2-acre property surrounding the cabin (unless they can jump the 5-foot fence!) Have a great time in the Mountains! Sorry, no motorcycles or 4 wheelers permitted. FYI: be aware that there are Black bears in the area from time to time.

Had a wonderful time. Peaceful, quiet and relaxing. Beautiful views, perfect weather and stayed in the 60 degree temps the whole time. Loved everything about the cabin inside and outside.

We climbed the mountain road in a Sante Fe and had no issues, even in the rain & dark. Definitely need an all wheel drive vehicle, but the views are worth it. The cabin and grounds were wonderful with fully equipped kitchen & laundry. With Cataloochee Ranch above and Maggie Valley below there was a lot to do outside of hiking. We loved it and will be back next year.

The cabin is a spectacular retreat on a mountain. The road up is definitely not for the faint at heart but is doable with 4wheel drive. This cabin was the most stocked with kitchen appliances and utensils that I’ve seen. The fenced in yard was a bonus as I’m traveling with my dogs. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the cabin and would recommend as a private retreat.

Our Stay was really wonderful! The view from this cabin and the peace and quiet are excellent. Yes you can hear the silence. The beauty of the mountains and the cabin are like a mystical land. The cabin has everything you need as far as services and utilities. Watching the Weather come in from the high elevation you will understand why they are called the Great Smoky Mountains. If you like the mountains this cabin is it!

I could write a book about our positive stay! We have stayed at a few cabins and this one by far was the best "stocked". I don't have anything to complain about and we will be back. The host was very responsive with questions. The fence around the property was amazing for our corgis and surprising for being a "pet" friendly destination, it was picked up.And of course we picked ours up. We over packed not knowing the complimentary amenities but now know. There is all the appliances you can imagine which added to the flair. I really can't say enough but highly recommend this property as a vacation. The little details made this a home away from home!

Wow, did we enjoy the cabin! It was so hot when we left Florida and perfect weather on the mountain! Our favorite spot is the porch, my dogs love it too! The cabin is always clean and well stocked. Laura is the best host! She is always quick to respond to any questions and easy to reach. She has been wonderful as we made our plans to head home a day late because of the hurricane. I cannot recommend this Cozy Cabin enough! We will be back!
