Smoky Mtn Cabin by Cataloochee Valley Elk Viewing!

A Hidden Gem in the Smoky Mountains!

We came to North Carolina for a long weekend with our adult kids, and found this home to be absolutely stunning... the photos don't do it justice! The home is beautiful and comfortable, with a loaded chef's kitchen, and a soaring two story ceiling and wall of windows in the living room, facing out to the incredible mountain view. There are three stories with two expansive decks off the lower and middle floors, where you can sit and watch the smoke rising on the mountains in the morning, or roast marshmallows on the firepit on the deck in the evening while you listen to the chorus of nature. There is plenty of space for everyone to be together, or take advantage of some peaceful moments of solitude. The spacious bedrooms are super comfortable, and three of them have their own private deck looking out into the woods. You can hear the flowing creek from all of them, which was incredibly delightful. There are thoughtful touches throughout the house, including baskets of soft throws here and there, a really nice grind and brew coffee maker with bag of fresh coffee beans sitting next to it, a welcome basket on the counter with treats, laundry detergent on top of the washer, and fire logs available for the lovely stone fireplace. The downstairs game room provided a lot of fun, and we enjoyed games, movies and playing pool. The secluded location makes you feel like you're enveloped by the forest, and yet you're only a short twenty minutes away from restaurants and shopping in Waynesville, and not too much further from great hiking and whitewater rafting. This was absolutely a five star experience, and we can't wait to come back!

Tracking elk!

We had a wonderful time in this space. It was set up for quality time whether together with family or on your own reading in a quiet place. The host has thought of many things to entertain. Books of all genres strategically placed. Games. Pool table. Wonderful leather couches to sink into. Fireplace to warm the heart. And the outside is just as nice with tons of seating, babbling brook, and the incredible view. We never saw a soul while on the mountain. The beds were comfy. Plenty of bathrooms for groups. All the kitchen gear we needed. They thought of everything for us. Thank you for letting us use your space.

VACATION

EXTRAORDINARY!

Fabulous!

Four couples met for a week in the mountains and we were not disappointed. This house is fabulous, five star all the way. It was so well appointed and decorated, really knew you were in the mountains. The kitchen had everything you need to prepare any kind of meal and the view from the deck was so beautiful morning, noon and sunset. All the beds were super comfortable, good nights sleep by all! The property manager Vickie was wonderful, very accessible and responsive. Your first trip up the road to the cabin was pretty exciting but got better each time, make sure you get the directions up the road from Vickie! Highly recommend this home for your stay in the Smoky Mountains, five star! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!
