About this property

Spectacular year-round views of Smokey Mountain National Park from a D-Log Cabin

WE ARE OPEN, FULLY OPERATIONAL & ACCEPTING BOTH SHORT/LONG TERM BOOKINGS, POST HURRICANE-HELENE.

While our hearts are with all those affected by the hurricane, we are hoping you will still choose to come support us and our surrounding towns (Dillsboro, Sylva, Bryson City, Cherokee) as they are all open and eager to welcome guests back.

The Grand Seclusion is your perfect getaway with spectacular, unmatched mountain views. This dog-friendly secluded log cabin is on Rich Mountain, close to many attractions: Deep Creek for tubing, biking & hiking, Harrah's Casino, and Dillsboro/Bryson City for good eats, breweries/wineries, shops and train rides. Roast marshmallows in the camp fire with family & friends. Relax on the wrap around deck after a day of hiking (either right there on the property or to check out the countless beautiful trails with waterfalls just a short drive away).

Cabin is fully equip with everything you should need for your stay! Kitchen appliances/utensils, linens, toiletries, movies, books, games, etc. For those traveling with children, we do have a Pack'n'Play, and (sound only) monitor, as well as plastic/kid friendly dishes/cups.

Satellite internet and Direct TV available at the cabin.

*ACCESS ROADS TO CABIN: Gated community access road to the cabin is paved (all the way up the mountain); so 4WD is not necessary. But remember...it is a mountain...and there are some narrow/one way roads and sharp turns. Any size car, truck or SUV can make the ride up. Just be diligent until you get a feel for the roads.

Awesome cabin with great view

My husband and I stayed at this lovely cabin for 4 nights. Had everything we needed to just enjoy a relaxing time. The nights were cool so we enjoyed a fire every night. The view was beautiful. Only problem is we had to leave; but we will return soon.

Awesome Mountain Cabin

We had a great time with the whole family. The house is in a gated (quiet!) neighborhood. The road is single track and steep in some areas. Nice views all around. The house is clean and well kept. Proximity to the national park and the small towns around is a plus.

Wonderful Stay at Grand Seclusion

We loved our stay at Grand Seclusion. Beautiful clean house with amazing views, great kitchen, and lovely master bedroom. We loved the fire pit and isolation. The driveway is a bit tough to navigate -- suggest arriving during daylight hours.

Grand Seclusion.. the title fits

Other than the narrow and winding road leading to and from the cabin, Grand Seclusion was the perfect place to totally relax and enjoy being with Family. The Mountain View’s from the deck were stunning , the house was very clean and the kitchen well stocked for our eating in needs.We especially enjoyed our time sitting around the fire pit! We would stay here again .

Excellent!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Grand Seclusion. It was exactly want we wanted...quiet, secluded, beautiful view, but close enough to hiking, shopping, restaurants and grocery stores to be convenient to everything we wanted to do during our stay. The cabin was well equipped with everything needed for our stay. Thank you!

stay in the Smokey’s

Awesome place overall. Three of us stayed here and the bedrooms were comfortable. There were two clean bathrooms and plenty of space in the living areas. The house was nicely stocked with all the things you may need. In terms of location, it is very close (15-20 minutes) to the park as well as a few other really really cool towns with breweries, stores, and lovely downtowns - our favorites being Silva and Bryson City. Be aware, the road to the house off the main highway was a one land windy road that is quite steep. After the first drive up it, we were very comfortable navigating the roads being that high in the mountains you felt perfectly secluded- the week we were there we didn’t see any other people around in the complex. I highly recommend this place!

Mountain Getaway

We spent a week with the family at Grand Seclusion. The location and the views were great, and the cabin was comfortable and well-appointed. We had an issue with the air conditioner upon arrival, and the owners quickly addressed the situation. We will plan to return in the future.

Great cabin with a mountian view

Our family has made several trips to Georgia and North Carolina for Thanksgiving, and this cabin stay was probably the best. Cabin was clean with appealing decor and exterior appearance. All amenities were there and in good condition. Photos do not do this property justice. Short ride to downtown Bryson City and the Smoky Mountain National Park. Will book again! Thank you!

Very peaceful and relaxing

My husband and I were very satisfied with our choice of cabins. The road up to the cabin was a little tricky but we got alot of laughs. There was only 2 of us on this trip so the cabin had more than enough room. The cabin had every thing that we needed to make this a relaxing vacation. I hope this cabin is still listed and available on our next trip to the smokey's.
