★ THE CABIN ★

This cabin truly offers the best of mountain living! Whatever your idea of a vacation in the mountains includes, our woodsy cabin is the perfect lodging solution. We are nestled between the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and Nantahala National Forest, tucked away in seclusion, yet right in the heart of the Fontana Recreation area!

Arrive at your private home-away-from-home, situated in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, and allow yourself to forget about the outside world. The cabin is remote and offers wonderful seasonal mountain views. It’s perfect for a getaway with friends, a romantic retreat, or spending quality time with family. You can stargaze from the hot tub or fire pit, relax on the rocking chairs on the deck, or nestle up inside by the fireplace.

This rustic escape is spacious enough for six to be comfortable, yet cozy enough to ensure your vacation is spent in close proximity with your favorite companions. As you walk in, you'll marvel at the vaulted ceilings and misty views of the Smoky Mountains. This fully equipped cabin offers a fireplace, central heat and AC, washer and dryer, propane grill, outdoor seating and fire pit, and a private hot tub on the back deck. Additionally, the Smart TVs allow you to log into your streaming services like Netflix and Hulu to enjoy your favorite movies and shows.

All of the bedroom mattresses are hybrid memory foam, and very comfortable. There is a queen bed in the private main floor bedroom and two queen beds in the second upstairs open loft bedroom. There is a full bathroom on each floor.

The kitchen is fully equipped. Just bring your choice of food, beverages, and seasonings! There is a traditional coffee pot with coffee filters and various coffee and teas provided for your enjoyment.

Fresh linens and towels are provided, as well as additional towels for the hot tub. We also include a starter pack which includes 4 rolls of toilet paper, 1 roll of paper towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, 3 dishwasher tablets, 3 laundry pods, 1 dish soap, 3 trash bags, and 1 sponge.

After a day of exploring the nearby areas, slip into the bubbly hot tub and relax! Experience the sights and sounds of wildlife all around you as you gaze at the stars. Enjoy s'mores and hot dogs over the fire pit, or just relax with a favorite drink in the rocking chairs on the back porch. Select from an array of provided board games and puzzles to play with your family and friends or snuggle up with a book on the comfortable leather sectional couch!

Please note there is no cell service in this area, making this experience a true getaway. For those who need to stay connected to the real world, there is internet at the cabin. We also encourage guests to bring groceries with them, as the closest place to grab essentials is 20 minutes away.

★ THE AREA ★

Use ONLY our directions! You will not have cell service in the area. Directions and check-in instructions will be sent 48 hours prior to check-in.

Our secluded location is just up the mountain, on a gravel road, in a quaint community known as The Pines and is surrounded by large trees and heavily wooded land. With only one other cabin down our road, our home is private and quiet. This cabin is the perfect choice for your family and friends looking for a getaway to unwind and relax! It is centrally located, yet off the beaten path, with easy access to many local attractions and only 11 miles from Robbinsville where you’ll find grocery stores, restaurants, beer/wine, and shopping. We do encourage guests to bring groceries and essentials with them, as the closest place for food and essentials is a 20 minute drive. The Nantahala National Forest and Great Smoky Mountain National Park are our backyard and playground. We are located just minutes away from world class white water rafting, mountain biking, hiking, climbing, sight-seeing, zip lining, local eateries, horseback riding, kayaking, canoeing, boating, fishing and more! This is truly your own private refuge in the Great Smoky Mountains.

This ideally situated cabin is every outdoor enthusiast’s dream. With a plethora of active adventures and well-known destinations at your fingertips, the opportunities seem endless! There are so many options, but our favorite might just be relaxing the day away, breathing in the fresh mountain air with no place to be, no voicemails to check and no emails to respond to.

• DO NOT flush anything other than toilet paper down the toilet. PLEASE throw all other products in the trash can. The plumbing is all septic. These systems cannot drain like city sewer and will easily clog if paper towels, baby wipes, feminine products, etc. get in there.

• If you plan to enjoy an outdoor fire, you will need to bring your own firewood or collect wood from around the property. If there is wood on the property you are welcome to use it, however, we can’t guarantee that the pile will always be stocked. Please purchase firewood locally!

• If you plan to utilize the indoor fireplace, we encourage guests to bring a manufactured fire log (such as Duraflame or Enviro-Log). Please only use manufactured logs in the fireplace and do not leave any fires unattended.

• Please note that there are narrow, steep and winding roads with gravel to access the property. A four-wheel, all-wheel, or front-wheel drive vehicle is recommended to get up and down the mountain and driveway. The driveway is steep and requires some speed to get out of. There is parking on site for two to three vehicles, as well as overflow parking at the bottom of the mountain for any motorcycles, trailers, etc that do not feel comfortable coming up the mountain. This overflow parking has signs marking it as “The Pines Parking.” The overflow parking is located 0.5 miles from the cabin. The Pines Road is not serviced with snow removal during the winter months.

• You are in the woods away from it all. You may see bears, snakes, boars, mice, deer, spiders, insects and other exciting critters. We treat the cabin for pests quarterly to encourage these critters to stay outdoors.
