Balsam Mountain Cabin with waterfalls and a great year round view

Enjoy a peaceful getaway in a custom built cabin in the Balsams. Located in a small very private gated community with views of the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains. From the large deck you can take a cat nap, read a good book, or enjoy a wonderful sunset dinner while listening to the tranquil rushing creek with waterfall. Take advantage of the waterfall trail located on the property. You will enjoy spectacular views from every window . Secluded, but just minutes away from downtown dining and shopping in Waynesville, Sylva, or Cherokee and Skiing and Elk reserve in Maggie Valley! You will be a mile from the Blue Ridge Parkway. This will be your new favorite spot! Perfect for a weekend getaway or a week of solitude.

Exceeded expectations, again!
This was our second visit to this beautiful home, and it was as comfy and relaxing as we remembered. The view from the porch is beautiful, at all hours of the day and night. We spend most of our time just being. Reading, painting, listening to music, taking in the view. So peaceful. Our visit was exactly what we needed. Thank you!

We enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the clouds over the mountains. No true sunset, but the view was pretty. Overall, it is a relaxing and quiet place for a couple.

Breathtaking
We enjoyed our stay so much! The cabin was well stocked, cozy and extremely comfortable. While we were there, the temperature was the hottest so far of the summer but the cool mountain breeze kept us very comfortable with the windows open and the fans on. We had fun playing at the waterfall and watching the lightning bugs come out at night. The owner was very responsive and easy to reach. We hope to return soon. I cannot say enough positive things about our stay.

Memorial Day long weekend getaway
This cabin was amazing! The views were breathtaking! We had such a wonderful time in this cabin. The view and sound of the waterfall/stream made it hard to leave. You have everything you need to relax and reset. Short drives to Bryson City and Waynesville. We will be back!

We enjoyed our stay, clean and well stocked property with a lovely view. The signage could have been a little more visible to help us find the cabin the first time. Lovely Christmas lights added a nice touch.

Adorable Cabin with a Great View
Adorable cabin with a great view, close to other hot spots such as Cherokee and Asheville. Short walk to the small stream that flows down the mountain, which was a peaceful place to sit. We observed a few crawdads and salamanders and just enjoyed the ambiance. Would love to visit again when all the tree leaves change colors. 10/10 would recommend anyone take a trip there.

I’ve stayed at this cabin five different times. It is on the side of a mountain with a beautiful view with the sound of a waterfall that can be heard on the porch. If you lead a busy life this is the place to escape it.

Lovely Cabin With Mountain Views Close to Blue Ridge Parkway
My family had a wonderful week long vacation here. The property owners were quick to respond when I messaged them. I felt that there was a lot of love and care poured into this cabin, inside and out. I especially loved the irises that bloomed during our stay near the walkway out front. The cabin was very clean and felt like home. The view from the porch is breathtaking. I plan on returning here often.

This is a great place to get away to. It is private and quiet. You are surrounded by wild live and a beautiful view. And the drive up was just that, up! Its a great central location to towns and attractions. I would recommend a weekend get away from the kids and life be taken here any time.

Beautiful getaway
Absolutely loved the house, location, everything. Coming from HOT East Texas, I was worried about the house having no AC. But the house stayed cool…ceiling fans were used when needed and windows opened to enjoy that mountain breeze. We all enjoyed the quiet evenings listening to the waterfall and watching fireflies.

Weekend reset
We had the most amazing time. We hung out in the grass and watched the beautiful view. It was fully stocked with anything we needed. The sound of the waterfall was fantastic. It was exactly what we needed to reset and take some time to relax. It was a short distance to Waynesville and Sylva. We also went into Maggie valley for a short day trip. This place is in the perfect location.

Perfect cabin!
The views are so beautiful!! The pictures online do not do them justice! Cabin was very clean and had everything you would need for a stay. We had no difficulties getting to the cabin (and we arrived at night!). It’s so close to the Blue Ridge and Cherokee, so there’s plenty to do! There is not an air conditioner, but it stayed pretty cool at night and we were away during the day. I would definitely recommend this cabin!!
