12 Min to Harrah' s Cherokee | Cabin + Fire Pit

Smoky Mountain foothills of Whittier with a queen bedroom, a double bedroom, a full kitchen, and a fire pit out front for s'mores under the stars. Dogs welcome!
Spend the day riding the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, tubing Deep Creek, floating the Tuckasegee, or trying
your luck at Harrah's Cherokee, then come home to the rocking chairs on the porch and a fire. Easy, unplugged, and close to town. Your Bryson City basecamp starts here! 🏔 🔥 🐾

📍 LOCATION
Sunset Farms - Bear sits in the Tuckasegee River valley in Whittier, the quiet stretch between Bryson City and
Cherokee where the Smoky Mountain foothills start stacking up in every direction. You're 10 minutes from Bryson City's restaurants, shops and the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, 12 minutes from Harrah's Cherokee Casino
and the Oconaluftee entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and right between the Tuckasegee and
Nantahala rivers for tubing, rafting and fishing. Fall color, winter casino weekends, spring waterfalls and summer
river days - Whittier works year-round! 🍂
🚗 GETTING THERE
You 'll want a car, but there's no mountain road to climb - the Sunset Farms cabins sit just off US-74/441 between
Sylva and Cherokee. Heading west on US-74/441, watch for mile markers 75-76 and turn right onto Sunset Farms
Rd (north side of the highway, easy to miss - look for the small billboard just past the turn), then left onto
Vacation Drive. 62 Vacation Drive is down on the left. Free parking right at the cabin.
📋 GOOD TO KNOW
🔐 Check-in 4 PM, check-out 10 AM. Keypad entry with a personal code sent before arrival.
🏔 Mountain Setting
Sunset Farms - Bear is one of four cabins in the small Sunset Farms community in Whittier. It's a compact 2-bedroom cabin built for easy getaways, not a lodge - couples and small families love it. You may see deer,
turkeys, spiders, ladybugs or other mountain critters - we treat regularly, but they're part of the setting. A few porch steps lead up to the front door.
🧺 Shared Laundry
The washer and dryer are in a laundry room shared by the four cabins. Please move your laundry promptly, leave it tidy, and respect quiet hours.
🚭 Smoking
No smoking inside. No parties or events.
🐕 Pet Policy
Up to 2 dogs welcome with a $150 per-pet fee (a fee, not a deposit). Undisclosed pets: $500. Cats only with
advance approval. Service animals welcome - please tell us before arrival.
🤫 Quiet Hours
Quiet hours after 10 PM - your neighbors are a few steps away.
🛡 Worry-Free Stay - Damage Protection Included
Every reservation includes accidental damage coverage at no extra cost - it's built into the cleaning fee, so no hidden charges or surprises. After booking we'll send a quick rental agreement to keep everything clear.
Security Deposit Hold:
A refundable security deposit is authorized before arrival. This is a temporary hold, not a charge, released 3 days
after departure once our post-stay inspection confirms no damages, missing items, or house-rule violations. If
everything is in order, no action is needed and your bank releases the hold automatically.
Up to 2 dogs welcome (sorry, no cats!). Book Sunset Farms - Bear and make the Smokies your weekend! 🐾
