About this property

Antler Ridge - a stunning log cabin with spacious deck equipped with outdoor fireplace, hot tub, and scenic mountain views!

Location:
Antler Ridge is conveniently located in a gated community off Highway 28 N just outside of Bryson City, NC. This cabin is just a few sort minutes from the Almond Boat Dock on Fontana Lake and a public lake access point that is popular for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, canoeing, and more! The mountain biking mecca of the Eastern United States, Tsali Recreation Center is less than 10 minutes away. And the outdoor adventurous fun of the Nantahala Gorge like white water rafting and zip lining is only a 15 minute trip away. Bryson City is about a 25 minutes drive from this cabin where you can enjoy the charming shops, restaurants, and breweries or check out the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad train depot located downtown. You can also access the Deep Creek entrance into the GSMNP while in town. Deep Creek is packed with great hiking trails, beautiful waterfalls, and in the Spring and Summer months, tubing!

Access Road:
Cars and Most All Vehicles- Paved and hard packed gravel sections on a well maintained mountain road, switchbacks and moderate to steep incline sections possible, no washed out section. The roads to this cabin are not considered 'Motorcycle Friendly'.

Exterior:
When you arrive at this cabin you will park on a gravel parking area behind the cabin. You can pull right up close to a set of stairs leading to the main deck and entrance. Here is where your journey to Antler Ridge becomes worth any and every effort; for, as you step onto the large side deck the beautiful view of the Smoky Mountains fills the horizon in front of you. This view seems to fill every part of this cabin, exterior and interior. The main entrance is a sliding glass door to the left of the stairs. The large side deck is the primary spot for outdoor activities. A picnic table is positioned across from the entrance to the kitchen and under the shading cover of the upper deck for dining out side in the fresh forested air. Past the picnic table the deck opens up to the sky above. On a bumped out portion of the deck by itself sets a most inviting sight after a long day of playing and touring throughout the Smoky Mountains; a large professionally cleaned and private hot tub. Across from the hot tub and surrounded by Adirondack-style rocking chairs is a large outdoor wood-burning fireplace. Sitting in front of a glowing fire while watching the sun set over the mountain view as the stars fill in the sky above is a Smoky Mountain experience to be remembered for years to come. A gas grill is also positioned on the deck to allow your grill master a view of the mountains as they are cooking their favorite meal. Propane and utensils are provided at the cabin. The deck continues to wrap-around across the front of the cabin where several more Adirondack-style rocking chairs provide a relaxing spot to watch the clouds drift over and through the mountain view. From here the deck continues to wrap around the cabin to the forest shaded side. Ending at a covered area where a sliding glass door opens to the bedroom on the entry level. The cover of this area is actually the private balcony of the bedroom on the top floor. Also on the top floor of the cabin is the deck that covers the picnic table and front entrance. This deck is also covered and has seating for four guest to enjoy the view while waiting a turn at the pool table just inside a set of sliding glass doors. The lower deck is accessible from the yard or from the lower level master suite. A pair of chairs offer a place to enjoy a morning coffee outside while watching the mist of the Smoky Mountains rise from the valleys below. The exterior of this beautiful Smoky Mountain log cabin offers as much to do as the interior. . .

Entry Level:
Floor to ceiling glass windows, and sliding glass doors allow you to have a mountain view from anywhere in this beautifully decorated cabin. Entering at the main level, you will be in the dining room and kitchen area. The dining room table is set up for 8 guests at the table. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. Refrigerator, dishwasher, ceramic top stove, oven, microwave, and coffee maker are all standard in this kitchen. The great room includes a large living room area with hardwood floors and modern rustic decor. There is a large flat screen TV with Satellite service. Two leather sofas and a leather chair surround the gas-log fireplace area. Off to the side is a separate table for reading or playing checkers, while being a part of the conversation in the living room and kitchen area. A standard bathroom is off the side of this room. The bedroom on the main level has a King size bed, a flat screen TV and access to the wrap-around deck.

Upper Level/Loft:
The upper level brings you to a large loft room with two futon sofa/beds and a pool table. This room also has a flat screen TV to use while playing a game of pool. There is a deck off the side of this room that overlooks the hot tub area, and outdoor fireplace below. The upper level also has a standard bathroom and another bedroom. This bedroom has a queen-size bed, a flat screen TV, and a private deck off the side.

Lower Level:
The lower level is the master bedroom suite with a king size bed. A large flat screen TV on the mantel above the stone fireplace with gas logs. A large leather sofa provides comfortable seating in the bedroom while watching TV or listening to music. A spacious master bathroom with walk-in shower and double sinks is off to the side of the bedroom. A washer and dryer is tucked behind folding doors, with easy access. The master bedroom has a private deck, as well.

Perfect location, view and the house was exactly as described. All the decks are an added plus. We stayed for two weeks and watched the colors develop into intense beauty. Property management company is the best and responds quickly and efficiently. Don’t hesitate to book!!

Honeymoon

This was perfect spot with amazing views of mountains and stars. Drive up to house a little hard especially at night but then a 5 star stay. Used the hot tub and outdoor fireplace daily. Neighbors a little closer then thought but still areas of privacy.

Polar Express Base Camp

We went to the polar express in Bryson city on Friday and stayed at this beautiful cabin the rest of the time. We had a blast using the hot tub, playing pool and relaxing in front of the multiple fireplaces playing games. This cabin is the nicest and cleanest cabin we’ve rented so far. We had multiple small children and it was nice to have each family on their own floor with own bathrooms. I hope the next trip we make to Bryson City we are able to book this beautiful getaway again.

What a View!

Our family stayed at Antler Ridge for a week in May. The one lane road up is not for the faint of heart but when you get to the house and see the beautiful view, it was worth it. The house is just as described, we especially enjoyed all the decks from every room, so much so we hardly sat in the house at all. We especially enjoyed sitting outside by the fireplace in the evening. We will definitely stay here again.

Lovely

The place (like the view) is amazing. No complaints, whatsoever. The road going up is about what you'd expect for a Carolina cabin, but we had no trouble in sports cars. Would def recommend!

Perfect Mountain View

This cabin is amazing! My family spent Spring Break at the cabin and all ages had a wonderful time. Not only is the view amazing but the windows are spotless so you can enjoy the mountains from anywhere in the house. Also this was probably the cleanest cabin we've ever stayed in so a big thank you to the cleaning crew. The cabin does not have WiFi. I didn't pick up on that when I booked it but it helped us disconnect and enjoy nature. The outdoor fireplace was a lot of fun. We have never stayed at the same cabin twice but this one checked all the boxes and is one we plan to return to in the future.

Girls cabin weekend

We had the most amazing friends getaway at the Almond mountain cabin. The views from the porch were incredible and we spent so much time just soaking it in! The rooms were very clean and there was a great kitchen area to cook and hang out. Great proximity to nantahala rafting, which we also enjoyed.

Amazing house

We really enjoyed our stay. The house matched the pictures. The winding road to the house was an adventure. But once you were there things were amazingly relaxing. One thing that we did not notice in the listing is that there is no WiFi available. It was great to relax but I had planned to get a little work done while I was there and not possible with 1 bar from my cellular provider.
