Welcome to the outdoor escape that will take your vacation to the next level! This cute log-sided cabin, built by local craftsmen, is conveniently located right on the Tuskeegee River. You are situated right in the Bear Hunter Campground, which enjoys fantastic amenities that include a covered pavilion with charcoal grills.

Perfectly located for exploration, some of the must-visit attractions you can find in this area include Eastern Cherokee Reservation, Tuckasegee Outfitters, Deep Creek Tube Center & Campground, Nantahala Outdoor Center, Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, Bryson City (restaurants and breweries), Harrah's Cherokee Casino, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and Blue Ridge Parkway. Embark on a scenic trail ride, hike among the wildflowers, and pick out some fresh produce at the local farm before heading back.

Closer to home, pure bliss awaits. This riverfront abode has a covered rear deck overlooking the river, offering a fantastic spot to unwind and delight yourself with splendid views. Enjoy your morning coffee by the river while watching the geese frolic, the kayakers and fishermen drift by, or the steam locomotive across the river roll along. Keep an eye out for any eagles that may be soaring overhead! Later, gather around the gas firepit for some storytelling and s'mores, or treat your loved ones to a delicious grilled meal using the provided gas grill.

Inside, this well-appointed cabin has everything you need for a memorable stay. The kitchen is equipped with all the essentials to prepare delicious homemade meals for the group. Wind down in the inviting living area, furnished with a comfy sofa and a Roku smart TV to keep you entertained. When it's time to hit the hay, make sure to sleep with the windows open so you can be serenaded to sleep by the sound of the rapids. Additional perks include two wall unit heaters for each bedroom!

Comfy cabin
Cozy cabin with decent kitchen setup. We were in the area for the Polar Express so conveniently located for that. The outdoor area wasn’t as nice as expected, but overall decent place.

Home away from home
I have rented quite a few Vrbo properties over the last years. Even other one my wife and I would say let’s head back to the house or vrbo. Not this one we found ourselves saying let’s head back home! It’s not just the river and view which are million dollar it’s the cabin perfect for a couple. Trust me rent this one if it’s available if not wait till it is.

Wonderful place!
Great place to stay to ride the train and spend the evenings on the back deck on the river watching fisherman and geese go by while sitting by the fire. Will definitely stay here again!

FANTASTIC!!!!
This cabin was fantastic! The location is perfect to many things in the area. Sitting on the back patio looking out over the river was the best. We had coffee out there in the mornings and wine in the evenings. We will definitely rent this cabin again.

Gorgeous view
Perfect cabin for a family of 6, enough space and an enjoyable view. Just note you won't have direct access to get in the river to fish or tube unless you go to a different location.

So, so pretty out on the porch. While this is a campground, they have a strict noise ordinance. I felt safe and very at peace here.

River view
Loved being on the river, sitting on the back porch with the fire pit. You can stay at the campground and enjoy the scenery or you can do the many activities available in the area. We spent most of our time at the casino and shops.

Serene overnight
We had a quick stay at the cabin. The location to Bryson City was excellent. We felt very safe and comfortable. Lots of nice little touches to the cabin. The propane fire pit was a great plus. We made s’mores at 9am! We even forfeited walking around BC to just hang out and rest, enjoy a good puzzle and some conversation. Highly recommend.

Connected to narure
This was our second time at the cabin. We travel and explore a lot and we enjoy renting different places. Only when visiting BC, we want to return to the same place, this perfect little cabin right on the river. We find immense joy in sitting on the terrace and listening to the roar of the river, observing a new day awaking with foggy mist around, noticing different birds including an occasional eagle and feeling very peaceful and connected to nature. The cabin has all we need, comfy bed, fully equipped kitchen, hot water and coziness all around. t is only a few minutes to get downtown, to buy fresh produce at the nearby farm or to walk out dih right across the cabin, on the Old River Road along the river. Simple bliss.
