About this property

Over The Edge (near the Nantahala Outdoor Center) WiFi Hot Tub

We welcome you to Over The Edge. Enjoy the peacefulness, seclusion and the best views on the mountain. First thing to catch your eye is the beautiful scenic view as you walk out on our deck. Enjoy your favorite drink and soak away the bustle of your busy life as you relax in the jacuzzi, watching the clouds roll in and out. It's not hard to figure out why we bought Over The Edge. You can be white water rafting in minutes! You're less than 2.5 miles from The Nantahala Outdoor Center, which offers white water rafting, kayaking and has other water activities for every skill level. Also included are several wonderful restaurants. Ten minutes down the road you’ll find some of the nations best mountain biking at Tsali recreation area. Close by is one of the most beautiful trails in the smoky mountains, an old section of the Appalachian Trail where kids can hunt salamanders and build rock dams in a pristine creek and the energetic can hike to the Wesser Bald fire tower for an astounding view.

Amazing Views

The views from the deck are absolutely beautiful. And the drive up to the cabin is very pretty. The cabin itself, however, is very well used and in serious need of renovations: dirty and stained carpeting, cheap furniture that is falling apart, missing window screens, deck gate that needs to be replaced, etc.

Absolutely loved it!

Everything is great about this place! We loved staying in a more rural part of the Smoky Mountains where we could enjoy the beauty and the smaller-town atmosphere of Bryson City without all the traffic. The sunsets and hot tub were wonderful - as was the nearby Nantahala Outdoor Center. We did not want to leave, and hope to return soon! I recommend bringing an SUV or higher clearance vehicle as opposed to a sports car - it's easier to drive up the hill on the gravel road.

A great place!

It’s a nice little spot on the ridge, the views were amazing! Driveway is steep but not too bad if you have a low car it’ll be a bit bumpy. I’d definitely recommend staying here! Not to mention a great host!

Beautiful Cabin!

I cant say enough wonderful things about this property! The view was unbelievable- we sat and stared at the mountains every night. Lots of great hiking trails in Nantahala Park (both easy hikes and more advanced hikes). We had everything we needed. All we did was hike, and enjoy the mountainous view on the porch. John was a great host. Highly recommend this property!

Great getaway

Cabin was exactly what we were looking for in a getaway stay. Very remote but safe nestled in the woods. We are big hikers and enjoyed all our hikes in the area including one on Flint Ridge trail where we actually encountered a bear. Will definitely be booking again in the future.

Located right around the corner from everything to do in Cherokee. It was just perfect for everyone in the family. Nice a cozy up on the mountain with a beautiful view. Very peaceful on the porch drinking a cup of coffee watching the sunrise and set.

Great jumping off point for adventures in the area

My wife and our friends had an enjoyable stay at this property. We made use of the hot tub and cooked dinner each night. During the day, we did some off roading, a scenic train ride, and hiked to fire lookout towers. There were some areas of improvement. The extra blankets smelled bad. There were complementary detergent pods so we washed both blankets which fixed the problem but then we had no pods to wash our own laundry. We made do. The kitchen served it purpose but had some quirks that made it inefficient for more than two guests. The posting photos could be updated. Some elements have been removed since the photos were taken. A physical check in/out binder would have been nice for operating instructions for the gas fireplace, hot tub, and other appliances. One potential luxury would have been more than one towel per person for hot tub and showering.

Stunning views, private location

Perfect place to stay for our fall hiking trip. The sunset views from the hot tub were beautiful, and we enjoyed grilling out on the deck. There are other cabins nearby, but we couldn’t see or hear them so it felt very private. John was easy to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay. A few things to note before you book: - We don’t have 4WD, just a crossover with front wheel drive. We made it up the mountain thanks to Sport mode, but I would still recommend 4WD, especially if there are slick leaves on the road in the fall/winter. - The yard area with the fire pit below the house is a steep trek. If you have mobility issues, it may not be accessible. - We did see some harmless bugs (a small cricket, some lady bugs) but the house had recently been sprayed and it was nothing out of the ordinary for a cabin in the woods. Overall, a great find. We’ll be back!

The view!

My husband and I rented this cabin for a fall getaway in the mountains. It did not disappoint. The view was outstanding. Cabin was comfy and we were an hour or less from most places we planned to visit. Property owner was friendly and responsive to any questions we had. All in all, a great stay.

Very cozy and peaceful. Loved having the forest all around, leaving just enough of an opening for that gorgeous view of the mountains! Love being off the beaten path...no noises except nature sounds. Slept like a baby! Cabin very clean, and kudos to whoever decorated it! Nice touches!

Why they chose this property

My wife and I lived in Va.Beach always like the mountain. While in Al. on business. We pick up a brochure to rent a cabin in the smoky mountain. We spent a week in a small cabin with no view, that not what we came to the mountain to see. We meet a real state person that loves the area show us place after place. After a fewer days we fell in love with Bryson City and them he show the cabin we were looking for (Over The Edge) it needed work but setting on the deck it look like a million dollar. So 10 year later we don’t get there as much as we would like so we hope you will love it as much as we do.
Thanks
