Log Cabin - Views of Nantahala National Forest - Hot Tub -Fire Pit-Pet Friendly

Nestled in a private community, you will reconnect and unwind as you discover the adventures of Western North Carolina. After a day of hiking, water sports, fishing, shopping, skiing, train rides, and great food head back to the cabin to enjoy a soak in the hot tub or s’mores around the fire pit. Our cabin is less than 10 miles from adventures for every season and sits within walking distance to the Old Tennessee River. Take a left turn out of the community entrance for a short 20 minute drive to the beautiful city of Franklin North Carolina or turn right for a fun windy 35 minute drive to the historic Bryson City. The short drive to reach the cabin once you enter the private community is breath-taking as you meander through the woods on a single lane road to the top of the mountain side. On a busy day you may see two cars past the cabin so come relax, explore and seize the moment at the Hidden Acre Overlook Cabin

Amazing Getaway in the Mountains

This house was all they said it would be. It was fully stocked, a million dollar view, clean and wonderful. We spent five amazing nights at this property and wish we could have stayed for even more. It is convenient to Franklin and Bryson City and many activities in the area. It truly is nestled in in paradise and we highly recommend!

Mountain Thanksgiving

Our family loved our mountain Thanksgiving at your home! It was perfect for our group, We had plenty of room to spread out, beautiful scenery and walks, and the cabin had everything we needed. Communication was very good with the owner, and our check in and check out moved smoothly. It is a vacation we will always treasure!

Love the Open Floorplan

Our Labor Day weekend stay was fantastic. Communication from the host before, during, and after our stay was excellent. The tri-level floor plan makes the top two levels best for folks who like to share space. The basement level offers a separate cozy space. Bonus points for well stocked kitchen, good internet, spacious decks, and seclusion in a beautiful area. The 8 mile curvy road leading to the cabin gets shorter and more comfortable each time we drove the 25 minutes to Nantahala Outdoor Center.

Family Weekend

The property was as advertised, and amazing! Although there are houses nearby, we felt as though we had the mountainside to ourselves. Really enjoyed the spacious porch with beautiful mountain views, which were also seen from the hot tub on the lower porch. Enjoyed a couple of days of hiking, Siler Bald and Williams Pulpit, followed by stops in Franklin. We especially enjoyed Gracious Plates on Main and the Lazy Hiker Brewery. We also enjoyed the short walk to the river, and our son caught some nice fish, which is always a plus. Mike could not have been any easier to communicate with. Highly recommend the property, and hope to return at some point. The Younts Family

Enjoy the view

From the moment you walk onto the porch to get into this house the view overwhelms you. From the fog settling in the mountains below in the morning to the stars at night you never get tired of the view. We were there to hike and the only problem we had was trying to decide which trail to take. There are restaurants in nearby Franklin and Bryson City but we decided to grill in and enjoy the deck and fire table. There is also a great fire pit. You will never regret choosing this house. The owner is also great and always available. We were first worried about access after the hurricane and he assured us it was ok. I also left a Kindle and he contacted me before I knew I had left it. Just a fabulous experience. A must choice if you are wanting to visit western North Carolina.

Great location

We rented this cabin as a family vacation for myself, my husband, our teenage son, and some of our adult children. There was a total of six of us. Our plans were to spend family time together and take a train ride from Bryson City. I found the host of this property to be easy to contact and very helpful. Some of our plans changed after booking and the host kindly accommodated our changes. The property is perfectly located. It truly feels private and tucked away, but easy to access with a good, paved road. The cabin was clean, with a good floor plan, and comfortable beds. There is a hot tub located on a covered deck. That was nice because we got rain and were still able to use it. The hot tub is well-maintained and very nice. We utilized the fire pit down the hill and had great family time making s’mores, laughing, and reminiscing. That was one of those nights where I realized our trip was exactly how I wanted it to be. The Great Smoky Mountain train station in Bryson City was about 30 minutes drive from the cabin. Not bad. We were able to come and go several times to visit Bryson City, Cherokee, and do some local hiking, without worrying about the drive being too far or too troublesome. Nothing is ten minutes away, but there are things to do if you’re willing to drive 20 minutes away. We saw lots of places with tubing rentals and rafting, and some of us may visit again and do that. If we do, we would definitely consider staying here again.

Mini Family Vacay

Property is absolutely stunning! Tucked away in a peaceful, secluded, quaint little slice of heaven. Just bring your groceries, no need to leave. Relax in the hot tub, porch swing, or just gazing out the plentiful windows from the sofa. You will not regret renting this gem! Owner was on pointe with communication and suggestions. Will definitely be back. Thank you for sharing with my family. The Registers
