Rustic Log Cabin In the Woods - This 1800's antique log cabin is for those who want to truly experience the spirit of Western North Carolina's beautiful mountains.

It is nestled in the Blue Ridge, minutes from whitewater rafting, recreational lakes, scenic hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking. Or enjoy the area waterfalls, tubing, quaint towns, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and more.

The cabin is quiet and private, surrounded by hundreds of acres of woods and mountains. Yet it is just minutes from several towns and accesses the fabulous outdoor activities in Western N.C.

There are two bedrooms: The private main bedroom has a double bed and is accessed by a wooden stair that is almost like a ladder. So if you are not agile enough for this, do not rent this cabin.

The other bedroom (shown at left) is on the opposite end of the cabin and has a stair access, great for kids. It has three single beds.

The shady back deck/porch with railing is a beautiful relaxation or picnic spot.

Amenities: It is simple and rustic in feel, but it does have: Air conditioning, microwave, refrigerator, stove, coffemaker, VCR, phone, and a complete bathroom. The kitchen/dining room is clean and peaceful. The living room is the original log cabin. I predict that the amenity you'll enjoy the most is the unpretentious feel of the place. And the clean pure mountain air, the sounds of the river rapids in the distance, the calming chirping of birds and the soothing rustling of the leaves above.

Entertainment: All these are a fairly close drive from your cabin:

Nantahala Outdoor Center with mountain biking, peaceful whitewater rafting through the incredibly beautiful Nantahala Gorge, also, canoe and kayak instruction --- 30 minutes drive from the cabin

Great Smoky Mountains National Park --- 30 minutes --- absolutely incredible trails; several into Virgin Forest areas that have NEVER been logged. Also a historical reproduction of homestead life, a loop drive or bike ride thru Cade's Cove (this is unique and SO beautiful, do go if you can...)

Great Smoky Mountain Railroad --- 30 minutes

Blue Ridge Parkway --- 20 minutes --- this is one of the most peaceful and scenic drives in the U.S. Many short hiking trails and quiet overlooks with majestic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Fontana Dam and Fontana Lake --- 45 minutes

Cherokee Indian Reservation---30 minutes -- Gambling casinos, as well as a blatantly touristy Indian shop kids will love. And, my personal favorite in Cherokee: Oconaluftee Indian Village --- a fantastically educational historic reproduction of early Cherokee life. An informative guide will lead you through winding paths in the gorgeous Cherokee forest, showing details of tribal life and lore. ---30 minutes ---REALLY good.

"Unto These Hills" --- the nationally famous outdoor drama of the Trail of Tears, the most tragic time in the history of the Cherokee -30 minutes

Cherokee Bear Zoo and Exotic Animals ---30 minutes from the cabin.

Standing Indian Basin ---30 minutes--- Astoundingly beautiful trails from short-and-easy hikes, to all-day hikes; also easily accessible waterfalls and a beautiful 15 minute walk thru the woods to the oldest and largest Poplar tree in Western NC.

Highlands/Cashiers ---- 60 minutes--- Trendy upscale shops for a change of pace in a fresh high altitude (and price!) area. The drive to Highlands is GREAT! It passes some of the most incredible waterfalls that you can see from the road or with a short walk from the road.

Biltmore Estate and Biltmore Gardens ---80 minutes away in Asheville

Roadless Wilderness Areas for serious hikers--- 30 minutes away

Other Comments: Sorry, ABSOLUTELY NO PETS and NO smoking in cabin.
