About this property

1870 Farmhouse with modern amenities - Fire Pit - Picnic Area - Farm View

This cozy 1 bedroom 1 bath cottage was built in 1870 by William Butler Garrett then down to his great grandson, Dr. William E. Mitchel. The property was restored as originally built, log by log, by Garrett's great-great granddaughter & family. Logs were marked & moved & restored for the front room, exactly as it stood in 1870, adding the modern amenities.

Open floor plan front room features the living room with fireplace (available beginning Sept 15) & full furnished kitchen. Decorated in farmhouse fashion with the modern amenities for todays guests. Large bedroom has a queen bed. Full bath with tub/shower combination.

Nice large yard with firepit & picnic area overlooking a gorgeous farm setting surrounded by the mountains. The covered porch is the perfect place to take in the beauty of the area.

Close to downtown Bryson City while still being in a private setting with easy access. Perfect for a couples getaway.

We were drawn to the house because of the history. The house was extremely clean and comfortable. We got to meet George and talk with her about the history of the house and some of the decor. We highly recommend this home.

Mitchell Cabin
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Mitchell Cabin is in a quiet location that is close to the town of Bryson City. The cabin is immaculate and has many amenities. The kitchen is well equipped. The bed is comfortable and updated inside. The HVAC unit works great.The view from the front porch is awesome. You can watch the baby goats in the distance (you do not smell the farm or the goats). And some evenings, there was beautiful sunset.We highly recommend staying at the Mitchell Cabin.

Thanksgiving visit to Bryson City and Western NC
Beautiful rustic 1800s log home, with all the amenities one could needed, tucked away in a quiet holler. Views were just as advertised and enjoyed the goat farm duties from the front porch. Even got to meet the owner, which briefly explained the history of the home. If we have the opportunity to stay here again, hope she comes by for a visit. Could certainly listen to a longer version. If you’re in the area, and want a quiet place for 2, minutes away from downtown BC, you wont be disappointed.

Chasing Autumn Leaves
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We came from Texas to see the Autumn leaves change and boy what a perfect setting the Mitchell Cabin provided. Not only was the cabin beautifully designed and decorated, it was sparklingly clean. The view from the front porch was idyllic, a small farm, pasture and a flock of goats. We could wake up everyday to that peaceful scene. We just wish we could have stayed another day!!

Mitchell cabin
This cabin was just perfect for our 40th anniversary. Great ambiance. So many mountain cabins are deep in a hollow, and can be disconcerting for a flatlander, due to the lack of sunlight. But the Mitchell cabin sits on the edge of a cleared hollow, with a goat farm. So it is sunny, yet trees shade it. You can sit on the porch and watch the goats, and just chill. The cabin has everything you need. Good wifi, good TV, gas grill, plenty of utensils if you want to cook. It is filled with many memories of the Mitchell family. We will be back.

Awesome Cabin
This was a totally charming cabin in a lovely, peaceful setting across from the family farm full of goats and other farm animals. It was originally built in the 1800s then moved and fully restored, decorated with precious family memorabilia. It was roomy, comfortable and totally clean. Good bed and sheets. We will be back there.

Bliss at the Mitchell Cabin
My husband and I stayed at the Mitchell cabin and it was the perfect rental for us. It's located close to Bryson City, yet far enough away to be secluded and quiet. The driveway is easy to access and level. My SUV fit with room to spare on either side. The porch with the rocking chairs was my favorite spot. We were able to enjoy the breeze and watch the goats across the road as we sat on the porch. The cabin is spacious and very clean. It has a cozy feel to it with extra touches considered for each room: kitchen - napkins, bathroom - tissues, laundry room - clothes basket and laundry detergent starter packet, walk-in closet - roomy, etc. I would highly recommend this cabin to anyone who is considering staying there.

Reviewer Comments: This house was not where we originally planned on staying, but with a mix up, by me, on reservations, Dena suggested this one and man was it a great choice. It was so classic and relaxing. So much thought went into this place to make it comfortable and private. It was close enough to town to be convenient and man did we enjoy our stay!! This place begs for us to return. I have NO NEGATIVE THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THIS PLACE!! We will be returning.

Historically amazing stay
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I really enjoyed my stay at the Mitchell Cabin. The location is fantastic for exploring Bryson City and the Great Smoky Mountains. The cabin was easy to find and is across the road from the owners goat farm. There is a grocery store about 10 minutes away. I came to hike and found several amazing trails of various difficulty, all within a 30 minute drive.The cabin is very clean, has wifi and modern appliances, is historical and decorated nicely. You can tell how much love went into the renovation of this family cabin. The bed was very comfortable and the shower had plenty of pressure and hot water. Although there was a nice fire pit out back, I didn't get to use it because of rain. My only complaint is that the wood burning fireplace has been replaced with a gas fireplace. Although there were no instructions on how to start it, I called Yellow Rose and the owners came over and showed me immediately. I enjoyed getting to meet them and get some more history on the cabin. Great customer service. The big downside is that the new gas fireplace heats up the house so much in such a short amount of time, that you almost can't even use it. I would have preferred the original wood burning fireplace, but understand why the owners would want to change it. Overall this was a fantastic stay and I highly recommend staying here!
