-- THE PROPERTY --

Bedroom: Queen Bed | Loft: 1 Twin Pullout Bed

Nestled in the Nantahala National Forest at the end of a winding road lies ‘Heart of the Mountain.’ With no nearby neighbors and views for miles, this private cabin invites you to discover the simplicity and solitude of Smoky Mountain living.

A 2-story wall of windows accentuates the vaulted ceilings in the great room, making the spacious interior even more expansive. Cozy up on the leather sofa set in front of the stacked stone fireplace and flat-screen satellite TV, complete with a mini component audio system, Bluetooth connectivity and a DVD player.

Prepare a tasty treat in the fully equipped kitchen and serve your creation at the classic wood dining table. If barbecue is more your flavor and al fresco dining is more your scene, utilize the gas grill and outdoor seating found on the wraparound deck.

After a day of adventures in Deep Creek National Park, give your sore muscles a break in the hot tub before stargazing around the fire pit.

When the evening chill starts to creep in, retreat inside and take the spiral staircase up to the sleeping loft offering 2 twin pullout beds. A pocket door connects the great room to the bedroom, highlighted by natural wood furnishings, including an artisan headboard and rocker, along with a satellite TV and convenient bathroom access.

-- THE LOCATION --

There’s no shortage of activities in the Great Smoky Mountains and this centrally located cabin invites you to try them all! Make the quick trip up to Deep Creek to hike up to a waterfall or set up shop by a fishing stream, while mountain bikers take advantage of the nearby trails.
