Cozy Log Cabin
After driving up the mountain (which I don't want to even think about having to do after dark), we arrived at the rustic log cabin. It was situated perfectly with a beautiful view from the porch as well as the master bedroom king size bed. All the furniture was very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. Host Lisa was very helpful and provided us information in a timely manner. I would recommend this cabin to anyone wanting to connect with nature and disconnect from everything else.

An awesome cabin 3,600 feet up in the mountains
A beautifully rustic cabin, a large porch with rocking chairs, a fabulous view of the mountains, rope lighting on the porch at night, a firepit with a supply of wood, a grill and a picnic table. A large number of TV channels and DVDs, an electric fireplace with many choices for flame colors, a Keurig coffee maker plus a regular coffee maker, a microwave, an air fryer, a good sized stove, even a large supply of popcorn for popping in the refrigerator/freezer, and all the dishes, utensils, and spices you might need. Comfortable beds and AC or heat as needed. All in all a wonderful place to stay! We suggest you make a reservation. You won't be disappointed. Mark & Esther

Wonderful relaxing cabin stay
This was a beautiful location to relax for a weekend. The cabin itself is charming, offering anything you might need or want, and many items we didn’t think to bring with us. The hosts are welcoming and easy to communicate with throughout the entire stay, from registering and check-in, to conversation during our stay and follow-up as we left. Loved the natural setting including the view from the front porch, the multitude of hummingbird visits, the butterflies, chipmunks, and the turkey feeding at the trough(feed provided). We would definitely come back or recommend to our friends when traveling in that area. While the road up to the cabin is nerve-racking the first time, the location was convenient to visit Cherokee and the surrounding activities and we traveled up and down everyday.

Great cabin. Clean and super well stocked with anything you might need. Very spoiled "pet" turkey! LOL! Road up to the cabin made the wife nervous, but worth it for the peace and tranquility. Will definitely rent it again!

Slice of heaven
The cabin is up a twisty gravelly road in a private community. It is one of the best equipped places we have ever stayed. It’s not too far from the Blue Ridge Parkway and Great Smoky Mountains national park. We loved the view of the mountains from the front porch. Our host was extremely helpful and promptly answered any questions. We loved the hummingbirds and the wild turkeys which seem to call the cabin area their home. Hated to leave.

Lovely rustic cabin nestled in the mountains
What a lovely cabin in the mountains. We enjoyed sitting around the fire pit enjoying the stars in such a peaceful setting. The cabin was cozy with spectacular views from the front porch. The woodwork in the cabin was quite beautiful and impressive. One of the best equipped kitchens I have rented. Our host was wonderful and prompt with information and responding to a few questions. They even provided food to feed the wild turkeys that wander around. A fun activity for all to enjoy. Sylva NC is a quaint town with nice shops and restaurants. This is definitely a cabin we will return to!

Well-Stocked, Cozy Cabin with Amazing View
This cabin exceeded my expectations. The pictures don't do it justice. It checked off all our boxes- super cozy, clean, comfortable, well-stocked, wood-burning fireplace, and secluded. It was remote enough where you are surrounded by nature, yet close enough to the city. The view from the main bedroom was amazing--it looks out on to the mountains and the sunrise. We would open the blinds and sit in bed just to admire the sun rising over the mountains. The front porch was very welcoming. Even in the cold, it was nice sitting outside on the front porch with a cup of coffee, seeing and listening to all the songbirds. The cabin was super well-stocked and had everything we needed to cook meals in kitchen. Also, the bed in the main bedroom and couch in the living room were super comfortable. Lisa, the owner, was very helpful with giving us details on how to check in and get to the cabin and answering any questions we had. We loved spending Christmas at the cabin, making hot chocolate, and sitting by the wood-burning fireplace. This cabin was a gem.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Ware

Host profile image
My husband and I love Western North Carolina. We enjoy hiking, gardening and Saturday morning farmers markets in Sylva and Franklin. There is so much to do in Western North Carolina and you are surrounded by nature. This is what we've always wanted and dreamed of to live in the mountains!

Why they chose this property

We always wanted an authentic log cabin and this one is amazing due to the high quality craftsmanship of the cabin. This cabin is 'one of a kind' due to the long range mountain view and elevation at 3,600 feet. Also, the covered front porch with rocking chairs is pure serenity! If you want peace, tranquility
and time to get away from it all~~then this is the cabin for you!

What makes this property unique

This cabin is special for many reasons!!! Real log cabin; Modern Blaze electric fireplace; vaulted ceilings; outside fire pit facing the mountain; backyard picnic table with grill; hiking trails from the cabin; surrounded by nature! Wild turkeys frequent the property and are very entertaining to watch from the front porch. You will not only relax at this cabin, but you will go home and want to return again and again!
