This cabin checks ALL the boxes!

Sunset Vista is a 2,500 sq foot cabin that features all the amenities for a memorable vacation experience. The open layout living room, dining room, and kitchen are under high vaulted wooden ceilings centered around a beautiful gas log, stone hearth fireplace.  A fully stocked kitchen with massive counter space will make serving your group a breeze.  The living room has wide windows with full mountain views to complement the plush leather furniture, big screen TV and Bose sound system.  First floor also has a powder bath and the laundry.

THE PORCH
The expansive covered porch has breath-taking panoramic views of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Fontana Lake and the Nantahala National Forest.   Relax in the 6 person hot tub taking in these amazing views.  A cozy firepit is in the grassy side yard to make s’mores and more memories with your group.  Gas grill, dining table and comfortable seating make this a favorite place to relax.

GAMEROOM
The double garage has been converted into a full game room and entertainment space featuring a TV, soundbar, 14 foot shuffleboard table, ping pong table, foosball, karaoke machine, second refrigerator and Nintendo Wii gaming system with lots of extras. The kids can play while meals are being prepped and then the adults can have their own fun after the kids go down for bed.  There are ceiling fans and heat in game room.

MASTER BEDROOM
King-size master bedroom suite with large private bathroom and walk in shower located on the first floor.

SECOND BEDROOM

THIRD BEDROOM

LOFT SPACE
An additional loft bedroom perfect for kids features a twin daybed with pocket pop up trundle.  Chess table, board games and bean bags included for the young at heart to enjoy.

A full bathroom with walk-in shower serves the upstairs guests.

LOCATION & ACCESSIBILITY
This mountain cabin is a 20 minute ride to charming downtown Bryson City, Deep Creek and many other popular Smoky Mountain adventures.  You are just a few short minutes from the marina and boat launch at Fontana Lake.  The outdoor adventurous fun of the Nantahala Gorge featuring white water rafting and zip lining is only 30 minutes away.  Cherokee and the Smoky Mountain National Park is about 45 minutes.

Roads in the mountains are curvy and steep of course but 2WD vehicles are usually fine to access the cabin, but all wheel drive is strongly recommended in the winter.  The neighborhood road is paved but the final 50 yard driveway approach has gravel.

All bedrooms have smart Roku TV’s.  Surprisingly good cell service and WiFi help you to stay connected while away.

Only one other cabin shares the mountain side so enjoy the seclusion and beauty at Sunset Vista!

Attention: Active Wildlife in the Area

Our area of WNC is currently experiencing increased wildlife activity, particularly from bears. While it’s a privilege to share our environment with these magnificent creatures, it’s essential that we all take precautions to ensure our safety and theirs.

Please follow these guidelines:

Secure all food and garbage: Bears are attracted to strong smells. Do not leave food in your car and reattach bungee cords to trash can lids every time.
Be aware of your surroundings: Stay alert, especially during dawn and dusk when wildlife is most active.
Avoid close encounters: If you see a bear or other wildlife, maintain a safe distance and do not approach.
Travel in groups: When possible, hike or explore with others, and make noise to alert animals of your presence. Keep dogs leashed at all times.
Your cooperation is crucial in maintaining a safe and harmonious environment for everyone. Thank you for your attention and care.

Awesome house!
Loved sunset vista! The view was amazing and the house was stocked with everything needed. I will say you do need 4WD or AWD vehicle. Driveway is steep and a few sharp turns but the view was so worth it! House was clean and great for our group of six and the pups.

The View Takes All
The highlight of the property is the incredible view of the Smoky Mountains! The property is perfectly positioned at the tippy top of the mountain, facilitating beauty, peace and tranquility. The house was extremely well stocked with basics plus ALL the extras. We felt like the house was a destination in and of itself. The water pressure was very low, but didn't stop us. The one downside (only if not prepared), is traversing the mountain in a vehicle that is anything less than 4 wheel drive. A truly wonderful mountain vacation destination!

Best Smokey Mountain Cabin Rental Ever!!!
Over the last 25 years or so we probably rented cabins in Virginia , Northeast Georgia and North Carolina more than a dozen times. Sunset Vista is by far the best one ever. The location is a comfortable drive to the most secluded setting and in reasonably close proximity to many of the amenities came for. Hiking, was our main attraction and we were close to many stunning trails. But the home was perfect for relaxing and recharging. The sunsets, the fire pit, the gas fire place, the hot tub, the equipped kitchen and the comfortable furniture made it a perfect stay for us. We would definitely come back and we strongly encourage others to stay there.
