Motorcycle and sports car friendly cabin near Tail of the Dragon

The house was built in the 1940's and was newly remodeled in 2014. Fully paved driveway off of a 2 lane paved country road with covered parking and paved walkway to the front porch. Makes this a great spot for low profile sports cars and motorcycles (no gravel roads to deal with). It is also an excellent spot for nature enthusiasts, as you can sit on the porch and view wild ducks in the nearby creek, many species of native birds, squirrels and occasionally you may see a deer or other wildlife passing through. It is a cozy little spot with all the luxuries of home and modern accessories such as starlink internet and fire stick for streaming TV. The living room has nice leather seating with recliners on both sides of the couch. Kitchen is fully equipped with all the necessities to cook meals with. Includes gas grill in the covered carport, crockpot, blender, Keurig coffee maker and regular coffee maker and some coffee provided for both. Extra linens, blankets and quilts for beds, throw blankets, towels and wash clothes are provided. There is central heat and air in the downstairs. Also an electric fireplace in the living room. A split unit upstairs provides heat and air conditioning. Ceiling fans are located in both bedrooms as well. Large TV in upstairs bedroom with a Roku box for streaming. From the porch you can view the nearby creek, majestic mountains and the owners garden spot. Feel free to walk down and put your feet in the cool mountain water or gather some fresh veggies from the garden. A fire pit is provided in the side yard of the house with seating for 6 (we also provide firewood and starters so you don’t have to go out looking to buy your wood). There is a picnic table near the gas grill for some outdoor dining with amazing views. All you need to bring is your clothes and food. We can help provide some of those fresh fruits and veggies when they are in season. There is 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The bedroom on the main level has a King bed and the bathroom is connected, but has a separate entrance from utility room also. The upstairs bedroom is 2 full beds and 1 twin bed with a seating area and a deck with table and 2 chairs and a private entry. The bathroom has a huge walk in shower. Both bathrooms have lots of extra towels and wash clothes for your convenience. Extra linens are also provided for both bedrooms. The beds are all covered in very comfortable linens. It is located about 9 miles from Fontana marina. We are in a central location to many area attraction and a short drive to the Tail of the Dragon. Other area nearby attractions include Harrah's Casino, Cherohala Skyway, Great Smoky Mountain Railroad, Fontana Dam, Joyce Kilmer Natonal Forest where in early to mid June the Fireflies light up in unison, and numerous other attractions. The area is great for hiking, biking, motorcycling, lake fishing, fly fishing, boating, swimming, white water rafting or just relaxing. There is also some amazing places for photography here, as Graham County is one of North Carolina's most remote counties. There is a set of Corn Hole boards and a badminton set upon request. Our place is dog friendly. Number of dogs is limited to 2 small type dogs under 50 pounds please. There is an $80.00 pet fee.

Relaxing weekend
Very comfortable cabin in the woods.. We found this place to have most everything needed for a delightful visit to one of the most beautiful areas in the world. the place had plenty of space for two of us on the main floor. With a bathroom and super,comfortable king bed. There was also an upstairs with two double and a single bed we didn’t use. So we really enjoyed our two day stay.

Heaven on earth
I have stayed and several different places in area but I will say, this is my favorite. Everything was perfect and clean. Great location and absolutely beautiful. I wish I had taken pictures but too busy enjoying the scenery. Got to meet the owners and fell in love with them as well; so gracious. We rode motorcycles to the area and I always make sure the place I stay has covered parking for the bikes and ASPHALT. This place has both. I highly recommend this house. Thank you, Sandi and Darrin, for everything! I will be back!

Great Place to Unplug
Charming and Peaceful... enjoyed unplugging. Hosts were more than gracious - they have amazing gardens across the way. Enjoyed Joyce Kilmer Forest, Fontana Dam. Drove Tail of the Dragon, and close enough to Bryson City to enjoy attractions there and that part of the Smoky Mountain National Park. finished our stay in the area driving the Cherohala Skyway... which was amazing... a great vacation!

We immediately were reminded of each of our Grandmas when we pulled in. The place was so sweet and quaint! Everything was clean and the decor was so charming. We really enjoyed our vacation. This cabin was well equipped with everything you need for a get away. The owner Sandi was so responsive to any of our questions. The creek noise will lull you to sleep.

"Tail of the Dragon" stay
Sandi's cabin was a good choice for our Tail of the Dragon trip in the corvette. It's only 30 minutes to Deal's Gap and 20 minutes to Robbinsville that has a very nice grocery and some good options for dining. The cabin is updated, decorated very nicely.and equipped with everything we needed to make our stay wonderful. It is easy to access with paved roads, not far off the highway. Sandi was a very attentive hostess making sure we had what we needed and available to answer our questions. If you want more than just gorgeous scenery and peaceful surroundings, Bryson City is only 25 minutes away with lots of attractions for young and older. Gatlinburg is about an hour for those wanting more action. We would definitely like to return! Thanks for a great stay!!

Cabin was as advertised. It was clean, cozy, welcoming, and beautifully decorated. It’s close to two lakes and the nantahala outdoor center.
