Sunset View over the Mountains! Rustic Cabin w/ Hot Tub

When we say this home has a little bit of everything, we mean it! This beautiful 3 bed, 1 bath cottage is perfectly nestled in the woods with direct access to the main road, in between Bryson City, Robbinsville, and the Nantahala Gorge. This rustic cabin has been restored and repurposed from a family home to a luxury vacation rental with the most beautiful sunset anywhere in the region.

If you're one to enjoy the outdoors, you are in luck. Less than a half-mile from the Tsali bike trail system, only five miles away from the Nantahala Outdoor Center, and one mile away from the boat ramps accessing Fontana Lake! Close to the Tail of the Dragon, you will be near one of the most sought-after motorcycle destinations in the nation. This property borders the National Forest Service, with signs posted all around. If you enjoy more of the scenery, you're also in luck - enjoy the breathtaking views from all around this house, whether it's on the ride in or just sitting in the spacious hot tub.

This home is boat-friendly, motorcycle friendly, and HANDICAPPED-friendly! Easy driveway access is directly accessible from the four-lane highway, yet this home is still secluded from the rest of the world. Take a moment and relax from the stress of life on the covered back porch, with a view all the way to Cade's Cove, TN.

Great for the soul
Tsali Sunset provided the perfect quick getaway for our very busy family. It was absolutely gorgeous from the cabin to the sunsets and the hot tub under the stars at night. Thank you for providing our family with the rest, rejuvenation and reconnection we desperately needed!!! We will be back for sure :)

Loved our stay!
The cabin was very comfortable, and communication with the owners was quick and easy. So much natural beauty, outdoor exploration, and mountain river fishing in the area. We used the hot tub and fire pit every evening. We would definitely recommend this location!

Just a short vacation for two. The views were amazing but still had easy access to the highway. We didn’t use the kitchen but seemed to have everything you would need. We would definitely stay again!

We enjoyed our stay. The view and outdoor space was our favorite! The house offered all the necessities and space for our family. The neighboring towns were easy to get to and Gatlinburg was a nice drive. We would stay here again and recommend to future visitors.

Wonderful Cabin
My family stayed here for 5 days and couldn't have been happier. One thing to note is that one of the bedrooms does not have A/C which in the summer months was warm.

Just great
This is one of the best cabins I have stayed in. Previously stayed in cabins in Servierville, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The views were amazing and the cabin was so well equipped and very clean. The water pressure in the shower was great too. Would thoroughly recommend this to anyone planning a trip to the Smokies.

This was one of the most peaceful and relaxing properties that we have stayed at. The home was so clean and it had everything we needed. Make sure when you stay to read the welcome book to hear the story of the property. It makes it all the more special. You will enjoy your stay here so don’t hesitate to book. Fantastic views also

Beautiful Big Sky!
Pat and John communicated wonderfully before and during our stay! Gave us recommendations on restaurants - favorite was Tapico Tavern. House was as described and had everything we needed for 3 days. Fire pit, hot tub and the stars in the sky really were the best! Will come back!!!

Beautiful and Relaxing
We loved our stay! The beds were extremely comfortable and the kitchen had all we needed but a pizza pan. Coffee on the back porch was the perfect way to start our day and watching the sun go down from the hot tub was the perfect way to end it. I only gave 4 starts because there is a little maintenance that needs to be done in the bathroom. The shower door leaks so the wood is rotten under the shower door and the painted over wallpaper is peeling. Overall, we has a great stay and all the things that truly make a relaxing trip were perfect!!

Great view!
The views from the balcony AND the hot tub were amazing! We absolutely loved it here. John and Pat were excellent hosts and we loved this home. I gave 4 stars for cleanliness because the hot tub seemed to have an odd color, but other than that- the place was very clean and beautiful. Some minor fixes could be made to the doors as they didn't shut very well.
