About this cabin rental
This three story custom log home is overlooking The Great Smoky Mountain National Park in Bryson City, NC. The cabin features breathtaking short and long range mountain views, a nature trail to the creek and plenty of privacy in this gated community. This log cabin is perched at 2800 feet and has 840 square feet of covered porches. The 12 foot front porch has 2 sets of chairs/rockers, high bar table and chairs so you can relax on the deck with your loved ones and watch the sun peep up over the mountains or watch it set behind them.
The main floor interior offers a half bath, open kitchen and living area with stainless appliances, granite countertops and a fireplace for those cool evenings. Sit back and watch your favorite show on our 52-inch flatscreen satellite TV. YouTube TV available. Local channels are not available. The private spacious master bedroom located upstairs has a king size bed and private bath. There is not a closet upstairs, however there is a place to hang your clothes. The downstairs guest quarters feature 2 queen size beds and a private room with a full-size bed sleeping 6 people comfortably. Enjoy your evening watching a DVD on the 32-inch flatscreen TV/DVD.

There are many places to visit here in North Carolina....The Great Smokey Mountain National Park, Great Smokey Mountain Railway Station and Deep Creek Park (where you can hike or go tubing) is 10 minutes away. Tsali Recreation -25 minutes away-is a mountain bikers dream. Cherokee takes 30 minutes, Nantahala Gorge (great for white water rafting) is 30 minutes, Maggie Valley is 45 minutes and a beautiful drive through the park to Gatlinburg, TN is 1 hour away. The Biltmore House and Gardens in Asheville is 1 hour east of the cabin. Your most difficult decision will be whether to stay in or go out each day!

The cabins offer amazing views and a relaxing atmosphere, perfect for families and friends to enjoy the beautiful sunsets and nature. Highly recommended for a peaceful getaway.

The location was perfect with an amazing view! The drive up the mountain is not for the faint at heart but the location is quiet and private. The cabin was well suited for our group including two younger children ages 7 and 10. We were close to all the activities we wanted to do and enjoyed our stay!

The view was absolutely amazing from the porch! We plan to stay again! The house was stocked with everything you need and decorated very nice. Our kids had a blast taking the trail down to the creek from the cabin. We made smores by the fire pit, played Cornhole supplied by the host, and watched the gorgeous sunset with a beer and glass of wine. Need to pay attention on the drive up but after the first time it gets easier. Definitely worth it for the view. We tried to carry our trash to the dump as mentioned but it is closed on the weekend. Would highly recommend this cabin.

A beautiful well furnished and supplied cabin with big rear deck. Amazing view of sunsets and just relaxing. As others have mentioned, you have to travel on a gravel road with curves and steep sections which is scary the first time. Perfect location for enjoying Bryson City activities. Highly recommend. Would stay there again.

The property is beautiful and well stocked. We LOVED the surprisingly private view and enjoyed the wildlife that came along including wild turkeys... I would give this cabin a 5 of 5 easily! The only thing to be aware of is the drive from the main road once you are close is a little long and steep, but most of us realize that is the case for any cabin with a great view typically! Scared drivers (like one relative we had) just need to know to keep going and the road is fine. We were able to get regular cars up to the cabin with no issues.

Dawson's Creek cabin was perfect for our family. We loved the view and the time together was awesome.

Great Cabin, Good View, though it was raining a lot while we were there. I am sure the family that owns the cabin loves to come up to it whenever they can. It is very nice and most people would be happy with the place.
I went down their Dawson Creek trail. Loved the little sign on the rock pointing out that it was this way. The trail gets steep at the end, so wear good shoes. The creek is fine but you can only see it through the bushes unless you bushwack.
Drive instructions could be better out Bryon City
Coming out of Bryson City, you pass a lake on the right. When you see two brick columns, and then a street on your left you are almost to the Black Forest gate. On the gravel road, the two sharp curves in their direction are concrete so you go over them before you get to the cabin. Most of the gravel road is in good condition, but sometimes trucks on the road put big ruts and bumps in places. The other driver in our party couldn't get around them in a regular Honda CRV. I didn't have a problem with another regular car.

I visited Bryson city with my husband and best friends for a weekend. This cabin was absolutely perfect! The view out the back is breathtaking. It was a little bit of an adventure just finding the place. It’s a bit tricky getting there. You have to drive up narrow gravel roads up a mountain. But it was worth it. Make sure to bring food with you because it’s not very convenient to come and go. The kitchen is well stocked. We had such a relaxing time and are already planning our next trip

Renting was easy and check in good. The drive up to the property was tricky- needs to be in listing. Probably would have changed where we stayed. Very cozy cabin though, clean and stocked with necessities. If you aren’t an early riser, then don’t stay here, as there are no curtains on the basement windows or master main window. Flood lights on/off all Night with animals and shines right into windows. Sun coming up I er mountains wakes you up early. Otherwise, great stay.

Property had everything we needed +++! Lots of glasses, coffee cups, etc. Beautiful views!! We used the fire pit and the walking trails. Grandchildren loved both and they loved the hook and ring toss on each of the porches. I’m a scaredy-cat on mountain roads if someone else is driving and drive up is intimidating. Husband let me drive!!🤣

Great view and location to Bryson City
Exceptional view and overall a nice property. Could be cleaner, maybe a lot cleaner and updates to the pots/pans. Would stay again though for sure. 15 minutes to Bryson and 25 minutes to the NOC. Great fire pit.

Amazing Views! Beautiful Cabin!
Ahh! Beautiful cabin. Gorgeous view! The cabin was welcoming and very well- stocked. Our 13 year-old grandson really enjoyed the outdoor beanbag game and the fire pit. We loved sitting outside watching the sun go down in the evening, and listening to the turkeys gobble in the morning. We had no trouble navigating the mountain roads and the directions got us right to the door. We definitely will be back! Thank you for your hospitality.

Amazing Weekend
We stayed at the house for two days and nights with our family of 5 (including little kids) and couldn't have had a better time. The owners are very helpful and provide an awesome / clean house. The views are to die for and we had a wonderful quite stay!

Drive way a thrill, but only met two vehicles the entire week.
View spectacular even though it rained every day at least part of the day. But final evening was sunny and gorgeous. Well equipped kitchen since we usually eat in that is much appreciated.

Amazing view
This cabin is nice and has an amazing Mountain View. Our only disappointment was that the cabin was not very clean. Furniture, ceiling fans and and bathroom lights were very dusty. Looked like they had not been cleaned in a long time. The downstairs closet was really junky. Outside of the poor cleanliness, the cabin is nice and isolated.

The view from the back deck is the reason we booked this property. Luckily it did not disappoint. We enjoyed early mornings and late evenings sitting outside. The gravel road to the cabin, the lack of provided supplies, and cleanliness of the cabin did disappoint. To be clear, the gravel road from the subdivision entrance to the actual cabin is extremely rough and very dangerous. The gravel road is steep with several blind, sharp turns along the way. There are only a couple of places along the road that allow enough space for two vehicles, which is scary when driving up or down the mountain. My husband's three-quarter ton GMC truck handled the drive well; I would not want to subject my crossover vehicle to those driving conditions. Allow ample time when planning your day, because the cabin is a good 20 minute drive into downtown Bryson City.If you plan to cook meals while at the cabin, I recommend bringing dish towels and dish rags, and possibly dish detergent. Only two dish towels are provided. The kitchen cabinets are in need of care. Food items left by other guests should be donated to charity or discarded, rather than left in the cabinets. There was very little soap provided, even during this pandemic. Luckily I happened to bring hand soap and bar soap with me for the bathrooms. The cabin is in desperate need of a deep cleaning (corners, baseboards, closets) rather than a quick touch up between guests. Two of the sleeping areas do not have blinds, curtains, or a way to keep the sunlight out in the early mornings. If sunlight disturbs your sleep, I recommed bringing eye masks.

The cabin was amazing and the location and the view were more beautiful than we ever could have imagined. As one member of our party said, "When you think of a Smokey Mountains vacation, this is exactly what you envision."

Spectacular views!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Couldn't have asked for a better appointed cabin and location. Highly recommend this cabin. Great hosts, very responsive.

This is a fantastic place to call home right in the Smoky Mountains. The views are breathtaking. The cabin is modern and well appointed and clean. The drive up is a gravel road with steep incline, so be aware that an SUV or car with good traction is a good thing. Definitely better to arrive in daylight to navigate the remote area. Very relaxing place to lodge in Bryson City to experience all that the Smoky Mountains has to offer.

Once we found the home, it was a lovely place to spend several vacation days. The home was quaint, comfortable, and had spectacular views. I don’t quite understand while this notice isn’t in the listing itself, but do not attempt to navigate to this address via either Google Maps or Apple Maps. You will not get there. Rather, be on the lookout for an email from the owners who will provide you detailed directions and check-in procedures. Overall, it’s a wonderful property with everything one might need.
