Perched at a cool 4376’ elevation in a peaceful and private setting, this inviting mountain cabin captures both close-up forest beauty and gorgeous mountain views. Ideally located near the Blue Ridge Parkway between Maggie Valley and Cherokee, the property offers easy access to some of WNC’s most scenic destinations, and has the feel of a private retreat. Inside, the oversized living room/den creates a comfortable gathering space, highlighted by warm wood finishes and a gas log fireplace for year-round ambiance. The kitchen/dining area is anchored by a wood-burning stone fireplace. Thoughtfully designed living areas complement the natural surroundings, while multiple sleeping spaces provide flexibility for guests or rental potential. Whether enjoying cool mountain evenings by the fire or taking in the layered ridgeline views, this cabin delivers the quintessential Smoky Mountain experience.
