About this cabin rental

Location:
Tucked Away is located just above the Tuckasegee River with long range view of the river and long-range mountain views of the Smoky Mountains. This central location is perfect with easy access to several small towns, including Bryson City, Cherokee, Sylva and other scenic destinations and activities available in the Smokies, yet secluded enough to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. The local mountain towns offer shops, restaurants, breweries, wineries and lots of outdoor activities (hiking, biking, rafting, kayaking, tubing and much more) that you will surely find something to your liking. Bryson City is also the host for the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad (GSMR) train that offers scenic rides to the Nantahala Gorge, Dillsboro and also Whittier during the Christmas holiday season as the 'Polar Express' (heads up: may catch a glimpse from Tucked Away as it makes its way to the North Pole). The GSMR operates using a historic Steam Locomotive to add the nostalgia, romance and character of a train ride (especially the 'Polar Express').

Also, within a 20-minute radius of Tucked Away is access the to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, which offers endless hiking, and scenic drives with endless views in every direction. Also, the Deep Creek portion of the national park is located just outside Bryson City with excellent creek tubing during the Spring and Summer months and miles and miles of hiking trails accessible all year round with multiple waterfalls. Also, nearby in the town of Cherokee with the Harrah's Casino, more shopping and restaurants and yes, even more hiking (yes more waterfalls too) and other activities. If you like golf, Tucked Away is in a great location as well with quick access to the Sequoyah National Golf Course in Cherokee (10 minutes) and Smoky Mountain Country Club (10 minutes) in Whittier, as well as others within the surrounding area.

If more water fun is what you are looking for, you can reach the Almond Boat Dock on Fontana Lake in about 25 minutes for some great swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, and canoeing options! Or you can experience the exhilaration of white-water rafting, zip lining, and other adventurous excursions out in the Nantahala Gorge located about 20-25 minutes away.

Tucked Away is also a short drive to Sylva and Waynesville as well, yet if you want to venture little further Asheville is about a 50-minute drive, with the Biltmore, Grove Park Inn and a vibrant downtown area with lots of restaurants, breweries, galleries and shops to enjoy the day exploring. Tucked Away is close enough to plug into fun, but tucked away so you can unplug.

The charm and character of this rustic modern cabin is apparent from the moment you step in the front door.

There are two bedrooms both offering King Size beds, with the master having an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower.

My son and I came down from Boston for 4 nights to explore GSMNP and surrounding areas. The house was absolutely gorgeous, well appointed, CLEAN and had everything we could need. Our only complaint is the driveway. At the curve near the top it’s very loose gravel, and our rental SUV got stuck. Not a big deal, but it’s worth mentioning so others are aware. We would go back again in a minute. Hands down the nicest VRBO we’ve ever stayed at.

My husband and I are about to be first-time parents in September. This was a fantastic place to get away with another couple we’ve been friends with for years. It was so clean, modern, and overall just a great experience. The time away was much needed as all 4 of us are in healthcare. The mental break this place allowed was worth more than anything. Whittier/Bryson City always feels like home and we continue coming back. We are adding this listing to our favorites and will hopefully return soon!

High end finishes, linens, appliances, and bedding, was excellent. The cabin was the cleanest place that we have ever stayed at. Loved everything about this place. Even the drive to the cabin. That last turn though.....Stay to the outside edge and don't stop. LOL The peace & quiet was the best part though. With all that said, be aware that this cabin doen't have a d/w. How that got past me, is anyone's guess. However, being just the 2 of us we survived. I do wish they had a Keurig machine since I was the only one drinking coffee. Again, I did just fine with the regular coffee pot. Highly recommend if you just need to get away from it all.

Tucked Away is the perfect place to getaway for a quiet and relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of home. It is very private and truly "tucked away" in the trees on the side of the mountain. We had a great view of the river and the sound of it flowing by was so calming. The decor inside is beautiful and exactly as pictured in the listing. The kitchen is very well appointed and had everything we needed to prepare a delicious meal. There are night lights in every room and battery powered candles throughout the house which really helped set the mood. Some even had remote controls which was nice. They provide dish and laundry detergent, but you'll need to bring your own bath soaps. One thing they don't provide which was a bit disappointing is coffee and cream/sugar. We brought our own because we asked in advance, but just be prepared for that. They do have a coffee maker and filters. The fireplace is nice and has a fan that helps distribute the heat. *Tip for contacting the host: reach out directly to Carolina Mountain Vacations using the phone # they provide in your reservation email. We did have 1 issue. The comforter in the master bedroom was covered in dog hair and had a large stain that smelled strongly of pet urine. When we called, the host was very apologetic and offered to send someone to change the linens immediately. I hate to even mention since everything else was perfect. We would definitely stay here again if we ever return to the area.
