Property Description
Rare Nantahala Gorge Find! Private Log Cabin STR + Beautiful Extra Creekside Building Lot! Escape to your own private corner of the Smokies at Hiker's Rest, a charming, turnkey 2BR/2BA mountain cabin tucked into a lush, wooded setting just 10 minutes from the Nantahala Outdoor Center. Wonderfully secluded yet convenient to Bryson City, Fontana Lake, the Nantahala River and endless outdoor adventure, this longtime vacation rental offers the opportunity to continue its STR tradition or simply keep this special place all to yourself. Custom built by the current owners in 2005 as a Sisson Log Home, the cabin is filled with mountain character. Soaring wood ceilings, exposed beams, warm log walls and hardwood floors surround the two-story great room, anchored by a beautiful floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Handcrafted, half-log stairs and log railings, rebuilt in 2023, lead to the open loft above. The kitchen and dining area flow naturally into the great room, creating an inviting space for gathering. The main level offers a queen bedroom and full bath, while upstairs you'll find the primary bedroom and bath plus a loft with pool table and additional sleeping space. The primary opens to its own private covered balcony with a peaceful mountain view—perfect for morning coffee or unwinding at the end of the day. Outdoor living is just as inviting, with an expansive covered porch, hot tub and firepit surrounded by the sights and sounds of the forest. The cabin has been thoughtfully maintained and updated over the years, including replacement HVAC and newer kitchen appliances, rebuilt exterior stairs, crawlspace encapsulation with dehumidifier, updated furnishings, and a beautifully remodeled primary bath with walk-in shower. Recent improvements also include refreshed outdoor furnishings and wooden gates at deck entrances. And then there's the extra lot—a special bonus with a picturesque creek winding through the property and an expired septic permit. Explore its potential for an additional homesite that could tap into the well producing 30 GPM, or simply enjoy it as a gorgeous natural buffer and private retreat. Whether you're looking for an established vacation rental, personal mountain escape or property with additional land and future possibilities, Hiker's Rest captures the Smoky Mountain lifestyle—privacy, mountain views, fireside evenings and outdoor adventure just minutes away.
