About this cabin rental
Rustic log cabin with 14 wooded acres in Western North Carolina. Offers peaceful views of woods, pasture, and a glimpse of the Smoky Mountains. It is private, but not secluded. The screened-in front porch offers the perfect place to relax with your morning cup of coffee while watching the fog lift off of the Smokies in the distance. Ideally situated within driving distance of two mountain lakes -Fontana Lake and Lake Santeetlah. Also close to Joyce Kilmer Forest and the Appalachian Trail.
NO SUNDAY CHECK IN.
The space
We love our quiet country cabin nestled in the mountain woods.
This cabin is near many attractions such as hiking on the Appalachian trail, Fontana Lake, Lake Santeetlah, Joyce Kilmer Forest, the Tail of the Dragon, and many local scenic overlooks.
There is an entrance to hike the Appalachian Trail located at “Stecoah Gap” 6.5 miles from the cabin. Search “Stecoah Gap” on g0ogle maps for easy directions to this destination on Sweetwater Rd. Additionally, there is an entrance to the Appalachian Trail near the Fontana Dam 8 miles from the cabin. Search “Fontana Dam Shelter” on go0gle maps for directions to this trailhead, but do some research beforehand because it is a one way hike at this location requiring a shuttle back to your car near the dam.
Another great location for hiking is Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest. Although this forest is 27 miles from the cabin, it is worth the drive to see virgin trees more than 4 centuries old on beautiful hiking trails.
As you can see on any map, Fontana Lake is very close to the cabin. The closest boating access is 4.9 miles from the cabin at “Cable Cove boating access.”
The marina for Fontana Lake is 7.5 miles from the cabin, where you can rent kayaks, jet skis, or pontoons. Search “Fontana Village Resort Marina” on go0gle maps. Most of the coastline of this lake is untouched by houses and boathouses are limited to a few coves so this beautiful lake is a testament to nature and well worth exploring.
A littler further out is Lake Santeetlah. One place that might be of interest on Lake Santeetlah is “Cheoah Point Beach” located 21 miles away where the family can unwind on a sandy shore or take a swim.
Guest access
Guests are welcome to any part of THE CABIN all the way down to the fire pit.
Please note, the upstairs loft (described as the second bedroom) is accessible through steep stairs, however the rest of the house is located on the first level.
These steep stairs may not be for the very old or the very young, but they are for the young at heart. However, there is an additional less steep staircase located outside (pictured) that also leads to the loft.
You will find on the property a canoe and a paddle boat which are there for you to use. Please be mindful when loading these on to your vehicle as we will not be liable for damages caused while loading.
We recommend a truck for either the canoe or the paddle boat, however the paddleboat will REQUIRE a truck. It can not be safely loaded onto any other vehicle.
Other things to note
Please note that while we do provide a TV and roku, we do not have cable or satellite on site. However, you are welcome (and encouraged) to sign in to your own streaming apps on the roku device to continue watching your favorite shows and sports while on vacation.
Please do not forget to log out of your apps when leaving; we will also do our best to log you out if you forget.
If you do not have any streaming services that you use, we do provide many older DVDs located under the stairs on a bookshelf and in a large CD folder in a basket next to the sofa as well as kids VHS movies located by the upstairs TV.
