The Owls Nest A-Frame

This beautiful cabin is nestled in the woods - the perfect retreat to get away from the hustle and bustle. Relax in the hot tub on the deck with a beautiful mountain view! The Owls Nest A-Frame is part of a quiet community with a private lake, perfect for a refreshing swim or a relaxing day of fishing. For outdoor enthusiasts, adventure is right at your doorstep! Just a few minutes away, you’ll find the sparkling waters of Fontana Lake, ideal for boating and water activities. Mountain biking enthusiasts will love being only five minutes from the renowned Tsali Bike Trails, offering exhilarating rides with breathtaking views. A short 15-minute drive takes you to the Nantahala Outdoor Center (NOC), where the historic Appalachian Trail crosses over, adding a legendary hiking experience to your adventure, alongside thrilling rafting opportunities on the river. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is also nearby, with endless hiking trails just a few miles away, where you can explore scenic paths, spot wildlife, and marvel at the stunning vistas. After a day of adventure, return to the cabin and slip into the steaming hot tub on the deck, where you can gaze out over the rolling mountains as the sun sets—a truly magical way to end your day. The Great Smoky Mountain Railroad is also a short drive for a scenic journey through the hills, and Bryson City’s delightful restaurants and boutiques are perfect for a quick outing.

Several upgrades have been completed by the new owners. The cabin is very clean and well stocked with pillows, blankets, towels, a complete kitchen and a complete laundry room, two full baths with body wash shampoo and conditioner, and a gas fireplace for ambiance while you watch a very large ROKU television. The cabin has three televisions, a king-size bed, a full-size bed and a full-size futon, all in separate rooms. The view from outside of the cabin is too beautiful for words to describe. The hot tub is maintained weekly. The cabin is about 5 minutes from Fontana Lake and Prince Boat Dock which has proven to be very accommodating. Jennifer, the host messaged prior to our arrival and asked that we let her know when we were settled, we did and she made sure everything was to our satisfaction. She has a notebook listing areas of activities and eateries as well as emergency phone numbers and locations. Our dog accompanied us and she was very comfortable as well. Jennifer went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed during our stay. This is a very special place to us. We hope to visit again next year.
