About this cabin rental

At Emory Lodge you will enjoy the magnificent mountain views of western North Carolina's National Forest. The cabin was built in 1982, and was an operating trout farm until 2002. There was a second cabin built on the property in 1985 and attached to the existing cabin by a large deck. This is the cabin we occupy when we are able to come up from Atlanta. We purchased the property in 2006 and started renovations the following year. We began offering the original cabin as a vacation rental in the fall of 2012. The total square footage of the cabin is 2200 sq. ft. The lodge has a large yard with West Buffalo Creek running through the middle of it. We have about 600 ft. of creek on the property. Trout fish right off the deck!
The area has several trout streams... stocked and native. Miles of well maintained hiking trails with magnificent views. Lake Santeetlah is only about 6 miles from the lodge, as is the Cherohala skyway and Joyce Kilmer national forest.
If seclusion, hiking, mountain streams and waterfalls, trout fishing, great mountain views, and relaxing is what you are looking for, this is the place.
Please be aware, the final 1.5 miles of road approaching the lodge is private gravel/dirt. It is very rocky and can be muddy after a rain. We suggest vehicles with medium to high ground clearance. If you are planning to ride street bikes, this is likely not for you.

Great experience. It drizzled most of Saturday and we didn’t get outside but that’s not a reflection on the property. We enjoyed our time together. It was remote and that was explained upfront with detailed directions. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, etc. Lots of room to move around. The bed mattresses could be upgraded. There were a few towels left in the dryer and one towel in the downstairs bath looked used and dirty. Some of the towels were stained. I’m picky about a few things. We would probably go back.

First, let me start by saying this place was wonderful. Cozy, rustic (but with many amenities provided!), fantastic babbling stream. One of our party was going through some hard times and asked us to find something “isolated and with trees.” This delivered and more. Gorgeous scenery, very peaceful, and the cabin was even better in person than the pictures. Someone also has progressive MS, so a cabin with most features accessible on one floor was a must. Also fit the bill. A few things to note: -We totally got lost. Google didn’t take us the same route as the owner seemed to think it would (not his fault). We got there in the end, but it was good to get there during daylight. -Our car also got “herded” by two farm dogs shortly at the beginning stretch of the gravel road (both coming and going). Be aware you may have animal friends, also like… -There were quite a few yellow jackets enjoying the fall weather on the porch with us. As this is a natural setting, it’s not surprising (at least one of us got stung, though, so something important for those who might have allergies). -As we came the first weekend the heat got turned on (lovely weather!), there was a bit of a lingering gas (?) scent throughout the cabin. It was a little odd but would probably dissipate more after it’s been on longer. These are more things to be aware of than problems. We had a wonderful time and wouldn’t hesitate to come again! Beautiful place and very relaxing. Loved the stream noise.

This cabin was very cozy. It’s great for a small group or a larger group. The creek behind the cabin was beautiful and the outside spaces were wonderful. The owners are right there if you have any questions or need anything. Highly recommend.

It was Awesome, myself and adult children just had a great time grilling, fishing, around a fire on back deck listening and looking at the beautiful river and loving the outdoors and the beautiful lodge! Scott is so great and considered a friend with us all now! Had a lot going on for him, a bad storm came through, trees down, electricity off for a while but he made us feel safe, THANKS SCOTT ❤️ Can’t wait to get back 😊 God Bless!
