About this property

Mountain Cabin with Wrap-Around Porch and Private Creek near the Dragon’s Tail

Welcome to our cherished mountain cabin, a place where generations of memories have been made and where your own story can begin. Tucked into the heart of the Appalachian woods, our cabin has been a haven for our family and grandkids for many summers. It's a sanctuary where the sounds of the forest meet the gentle ripple of a creek, where starry nights are filled with fireflies, and where the great outdoors feels just a step away.
As you arrive, the wrap-around porch beckons, offering a perfect spot to rock in the chairs and take in the serene mountain landscape. It's here that we’ve spent countless evenings with our grandkids, sipping hot chocolate and sharing stories while the sun sets behind the peaks.
The cabin comfortably sleeps six, with two cozy bedrooms featuring queen-sized beds and a loft with a thick full-size futon. The two full bathrooms make it easy for everyone to get ready for a day of adventure. And when the day winds down, there's nothing like heading out to the deck to breathe in the fresh mountain air.
Our grandkids have always loved exploring the property. The small creek is a favorite spot to splash around, and the yard is perfect for a family game of kickball. And if you're into exploring further, we're just minutes from Fontana Lake, where you can enjoy boating and fishing, or take a scenic picnic at the Fontana Dam. The Great Smoky Mountain Railway, Santa Land, and the Gold Mines are just a short drive away, offering endless fun for kids and adults alike.
For the adventurous, our cabin is near the world-famous Tail of the Dragon and Moonshine 28, a paradise for motorcycle enthusiasts. Hike the Appalachian Trail, go whitewater rafting at NOC, or challenge yourself on the Class IV Cheoah River. The Cherohala Skyway and Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest are also must-see destinations.
Every summer, we've brought our grandkids to this cabin to share in the joy and beauty of the mountains. Now, we'd like to invite you to create your own traditions here. Whether you're looking for outdoor thrills, family bonding, or a peaceful retreat, our cabin has something for everyone.

Great place for a relaxing getaway
We really enjoyed our stay here. The place was spotless, equipped with more than we needed, and better than described. It's in a great location with little traffic and close enough to anything we needed. Relaxing on the huge porch was great. Communication from the host was excellent as well. Thanks for having us!

Cute Cabin!!
This was our second VRBO cabin for vacation. The cabin was clean, very basic cooking items provided but very functional. Before booking we asked property owners about access to location and parking for motorcycles and a trailer we pulled them in. There was room no problem. When we arrived the drive is very narrow and we were pulling a 20' trailer with a dully pick up. It was barely wide enough for the truck without going into ditch on either side. We made it but on departure day we did have to swing into grass to get a straight shot out. The only true negative was that the dressers had some clothing items in them and closets did to. These were the property owners items. We basically lived out of our suitcases the entire week, and those rested on the floor or on the vacant bed in loft. I did recommend maybe getting suitcase stands if dresser drawers were not going to be accessible. The cabin was in an excellent area to hit Tail of the Dragon, ride to Great Smokey National Park, Gatlinburg, TN, etc. Beautiful areas! It was quiet and peaceful there and I would recommend this cabin to others! Thank you again Frank and Karen for allowing us into your home!!
