Good to know

Welcome to the Creaking Cabin! Listen carefully as you settle into our authentic log cabin retreat—those mysterious footsteps overhead? Just the beams shifting and creaking with the mountain's changing temperatures. This beloved quirk gives our cabin its name and creates an atmosphere both cozy and slightly mysterious. Beyond its charming personality, this spacious cabin offers the perfect blend of rustic mountain aesthetics and practical comforts. The soaring cathedral ceiling creates an airy, open feeling throughout the main living area, where comfortable seating invites family game nights or evening conversations after days of adventure. The sleeping arrangements offer both privacy and togetherness—a private queen bedroom with door on the main floor provides a peaceful sanctuary, while the open loft overlooks the living space with two additional beds, perfect for children or friends who enjoy the unique cabin experience. With a full bathroom on each level, morning routines remain stress-free even with a full house. What guests love most: the spaciousness that allows everyone to spread out after active days exploring nearby attractions. Whether gathering around the dining table for meals or retreating to the covered deck's rocking chairs to watch evening settle over the mountains, there's room for both togetherness and quiet moments.

We had an incredibly peaceful stay. The cabin had everything that we needed and we would love to come back in the future. Brenda was very helpful with recommendations for The Great Smoky Mountains! 🐻

My family and I stayed here a couple of nights while we visited the Smokies. Our original plans were to stay in Tennessee but thankfully our plans changed last minute because we absolutely loved staying at this beautiful cabin! The porch is the perfect place to wind down after a day of hiking! Very peaceful and beautiful area! I hope to be back someday soon! Last but not least, the hosts were incredibly kind and helpful with everything. Thank you!

The place was truly amazing in a beautiful location. Very peaceful surroundings and near to most activities, attractions and restaurants. Brenda was very supportive even before we arrived with providing lots of great recommendations for activities and restaurants which I did try and I can say two thumbs up to all.

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin and would stay there again. It was a spacious and relaxing place to unwind after a day of activities. The kitchen was stocked with everything you needed to cook. Location was perfect! We visited Bryson City, Cherokee and Maggie Valley.

Great place to stay! Absolutely gorgeous and super comfortable. My daughter loved the small collection of toys they had upstairs, even though we brought our own sometimes new to you is more fun. It saved my sanity a few nights!
