❤ Cozy Log Cabin w/Stunning View! Waterfall, 3 Fireplaces, Arcade, Stocked!

Whether you are looking for a relaxing escape or a cozy base camp for adventure, this lovingly maintained and cared for log cabin has it all. Enjoy hot coffee on your private balcony attached to the Master suite or enjoy a crackling fire with a nightcap in front of one of your three wood burning fireplaces. Take a hike down the Troll Trail or stride down Fairy Lane to your own outdoor stage area with a large fire pit. Ready for adventure? Pack a water bottle and grab your hiking stick, then follow the nature trail to your own hidden eighteen-foot-tall waterfall and spacious natural swimming area!

Privacy at its finest! Being on 4.5 acres, and adjacent to National Forest Service Land in the heart of the Smoky Mountain wilderness, you'll find yourself surrounded by trees, hummingbirds, and crisp mountain air. The retreat is newly updated and furnished with 3 bedrooms and 2 ½ baths, plus a sleeper sofa in the living room. Each sleeping area comes with a Dohm Sound Conditioner, high thread-count sheets, and the most luxurious mattresses available. Enjoy dinner while listening to the intoxicating sounds of nature on your spacious verandah with teak dining table. A fully enclosed porch surrounded by windows is ideal for keeping cozy on snowy winter nights. The living area welcomes you to relax and read a book, complete a puzzle or unwind with a movie.

Everyone will enjoy the over 4,500 games on the brand-new full size 4 player arcade (multicade). So many games to choose from, including Pac-Man, Frogger, Tetris, Super Mario Brothers, Contra, Joust, Burger Time, Donkey Kong and hundreds of other classics.

Stay active during your mountain getaway with our garage gym featuring a REP Fitness rack, dumbbells, resistance bands, and jump ropes for your strength training sessions.

Children are sure to enjoy their adventures acting out plays in front of the mountain carved theater seating or making smores in one of the fireplaces. With 2100 square feet there is space for everyone to find their own book worthy nook.

Mountain retreat

We loved this place! It was perfect for getting away as a family and had so many activities in and at the cabin itself for our kids. The hike to the waterfall is completely worth it! We loved the privacy and yet it was close enough to several towns to not be an issue for going out to eat or shopping. The cabin itself was beautiful and immaculate. We absolutely plan on coming back.

Waterfall Adventure

What an adventure! The waterfall hike on the property is super cool, and quite a workout for people from flatland. The cabin is comfy and cozy. The kids loved the arcade. The property is on a cliff, and the yard is straight down from the house. It is secluded, so no worries of neighbors looking in, but a bit eerie with no curtains or blinds.

Great Family Escape

Loved our time in the cabin. The property was clean and as advertised. Paved road all the way to the driveway (which was unpaved, but easy). Hike to the on-property waterfall is a nice bonus. Our family had a wonderful Thanksgiving stay!

Amazing Escape!

This place was everything we could have asked for. Beautiful views, lots of space, and easily the most well-stocked, turn-key vacation rental we’ve ever stayed at. There’s a beautiful waterfall on the property that was great to hike to, and our kids loved the tree house, the arcade, and all of the board games and toys. Perfect for a family getaway. Can’t wait to come back!

our stay was very relaxing, the views from the deck were spectacular! The adults could kick-back while the children were entertaining themselves in the game room. other activities were just a short drive away: hiking, gem mining, tubing, and admiring the many waterfalls!

Senior Ladies Summer Mini-Escape

The cabin was wonderful escape from the heat and humidity of Myrtle Beach! The cabin was cozy and comfortable and the location was perfect - situated in between the towns of Highlands and Franklin. Dry Falls and Bridal Veil Falls were close and accessible. We tried to hike down to the falls on the property, but it was a little too difficult for us (three senior ladies)! We enjoyed shopping and antiquing in the area and we found some great places for dinner. The cabin was well-equipped, with everything you might need. The beds were comfortable, plenty of places to gather and plenty of places to find solitude. This would be an amazing place for families with children, with lots of places to explore around the cabin. The kids (and adults) won't even miss their electronic devices (cell service is sketchy) - a great opportunity to unplug and just enjoy the beauty of nature!I would make one small suggestion: If you plan to gather at the large table in the living room area to play cards, color, crochet or do any crafts that require good lighting, I would bring along a lamp of some type to supplement the lighting in the room. Overall, we LOVED it and were sad to leave after our 3-night stay. We hope to return some day!
