Cozy Cabin - high elevation - next door to Cataloochee Ranch | Cabin in Maggie Valley
2 Bedroom Cabin in Cataloochee Ranch, Maggie Valley
NOTE: GUESTS MUST HAVE ALL-WHEEL DRIVE OR 4-WHEEL DRIVE ALL YEAR ROUND TO ACCESS THIS CABIN. 3-story two bedroom plus den 2.5 bath rustic log cabin on a fenced and gated two-acre property in a private, secluded location at the summit of Buck Mountain - almost a mile high elevation for cool Summer temps. Lots of privacy and seclusion (no neighbor's homes in view) with year-round, dramatic long-range mountain views. If you like a quiet, forest setting with mountain views and elk, turkey and the occasional black bear wandering up the driveway from time to time this may be the place for you. This cabin is not a large, luxurious sprawling cabin. It is small, rustic and charming and is really only suitable for a couple or a couple with 2 kids or 2 couples. The spaces are tight, the pine floors creak and there is very little sound proofing between floors. But, what this cabin lacks in size and luxury is more than made up for by its charm, private setting and limitless natural beauty and wildlife close by. If you like a vacation spent relaxing out on the porch listening to the birds singing or out picking wildflowers, blueberries and blackberries in the Summer with temps in the 60's and 70's or watching the leaves turn red and gold in the Fall and roasting marshmallows on the fire on a 2-acre fenced and gated property (where your dog can roam free!) and where lots of area attractions such as the GSMNP are close by this cabin may suit you. Its an 8-minute car ride up to the newly renovated Cataloochee Ranch for gourmet dining or for some horseback trail riding or for some winter skiing at the close by Cataloochee Ski Area. NOTE: Dining or horseback riding at Cataloochee Ranch, which is a Relais & Chateaux property, requires reservations well in advance; 828 926 1401 and they offer group or private trail rides and a picnic ride up to the fabulous Swag Country Inn. The Cataloochee Ski Area (open in Winter from approx. Thanksgiving thru March) is just 3 miles away (10 minutes by car). There are guided fly-fishing tours by Maggie Valley Fly Fishing 828 537 2557. You can take a walk around the surrounding neighborhood of rustic cabins or take a drive over to the Great Smoky National Park (GSMNP) with 800 miles of hiking trails (46 minutes by car to the Cataloochee Valley entrance). Download the AllTrails app for info on access to local trail. For longer car trips from the cabin it's a 51 minute drive to the Biltmore Estate and Vineyards (38.2 miles) on I - 40. 45-minute drive to Asheville. 1 hour and 36 minute drive on I-40 W to Gatlinburg. Close to the Cherokee Indian Reservation.
Note: there is no AC in cabin - but high elevation keeps it cool in Summer. This cabin has 3 queen-sized beds. The cabin has 3 levels - 1 bedroom (with queen size bed) with 1 full bath on top floor, 1 bedroom (with queen size bed) plus a den (with queen size bed) with 1 full bath on ground floor, 1/2 bath with washing machine and dryer on living room level (middle level). Wood burning fireplace in living room. Firepit in yard. Hi-speed, reliable WIFI Internet thru Skyrunner. Live feed NEST cam overlooking the driveway (link available if guests want to monitor it during stay).
We recommend you try to arrive before dark on day of check-in and to buy basic groceries (or pre-order groceries on Instacart app) to be delivered on your way before checking in as the road up to the cabin is a rural, mountain road - unpaved (gravel and dirt) and it's a pretty long (1.5 miles) steep drive from the paved road (Fie Top Road) up to the cabin. It's not the sort or road you want to spend a lot of time driving up and down if you can avoid it. If you decide to order groceries on Instacart to be delivered from Publix down in Waynesville just make sure you message the delivery person that they MUST HAVE 4 WHEEL OR ALL WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE to deliver groceries to this cabin. If you are bringing dogs you can close the drive-way gate and pedestrian gates and your dogs can run free on the 2-acre property surrounding the cabin (unless they can jump the 5-foot fence!) Have a great time in the Mountains! Sorry, no motorcycles or 4 wheelers permitted. FYI: be aware that there are Black bears in the area from time to time.
