Just 30 minutes away, you will find various activities in Bryson City, such as the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad, shopping, breweries and restaurants.
The cabin:
With updated decor and furnishings, everything in the cabin has been curated for a comfortable stay.
Enjoy coffee or happy hour at the bistro set on the deck. Read a book under the trees in an adirondack. Relax by the outdoor fire-pit or in the hot tub beneath the stars.
Inside, you'll find a well-equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and fully stocked cabinets with numerous cooking and dining essentials.
Plan your dinner under the antler chandelier at the table for 6 and then cozy up by the gas log fireplace to watch your favorite movie.
Starlink internet available for wifi and the Smart tv in the living room. Roku tvs are in both bedrooms for streaming.
The downstairs bedroom features a king sized bed with a hallway bathroom. The downstairs bedroom, bathroom and hallway are divided from the main living area with sliding/privacy doors so it feels like a master suite area.
Upstairs, you will find a second bedroom (loft) with a king sized bed, an open closet which can be used as an additional sleeping nook with a full-sized Murphy Bed. There is also a small desk/workspace.
The drive to the cabin is a one lane road with a somewhat steep incline into the driveway. Four-wheel-drive is not required, but is advised. Experienced motorcyclists only.
Guests looking to store a boat or motorcycle trailer are welcome to use a community parking area that is marked just as you enter "The Pines" community but before you start up the hill to the cabin.
Cell service can be difficult at this cabin, but if you have 'Wi-Fi calling' feature on your phone, that will work with our free Wi-Fi service. There is a sweet spot for cell service in an emergency at the Teaberry Campground located at the bottom of the hill by the entrance to 'The Pines' community.
Fast, reliable internet is provided by Starlink.
