About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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.

During your stay at this vacation home, you're just a quick walk from Nantahala National Forest. You'll find features like a spa tub. The vacation home includes amenities such as free WiFi and a kitchen.

Beautiful property!

This was the perfect getaway for our family vacation to GSMNP. The kitchen was well stocked with all the tools necessary to cook. The beds were comfortable providing a good nights sleep after a long day of adventuring. The property was well maintained and the view off the back deck was spectacular. We would absolutely stay here again!

Mountain View for days

This was a first vacation for the wife and I. We have never rented a cabin before and was nervous when I began the process. The property managers were fantastic to communicate with and super friendly. Made the process a breeze. The cabin was absolutely perfect and the view was outstanding. Will definitely return.

Great cabin, reasonably priced, close to rafting and other water and nature attractions

This little cabin is so cute and comfy; we especially enjoyed reading about the history of the family home! We enjoyed our stay - the AC units works great, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the hot tub was a nice option after a long day on the river, though several of the jets appear to be broken. We'd definitely stay here again! If the owners are interested in recommendations, I would try to embrace nature a bit more for some of your challenges with the property. Try planting native plants to provide a barrier to the weeds creeping up the hill instead of spraying with chemicals. We also noticed a lot of yellow jackets and mosquitoes. Some bat boxes and lavendar or mint would greatly help that! It would be great to harness rain water from the gutters to water beneficial native plants on the property or create a little rock garden. Thank you for a nice weekend in your beautiful cabin!

Beautiful cabin

We just spent 4 days at this beautiful cabin and we were not ready to leave! My husband and I brought our 3 children ages 12-17 and we all enjoyed it. It felt very remote, yet wasn't far off the main road. The cabin was very clean and the beds were comfortable. We took full advantage of the hot tub in the evenings and sat out each morning to sip our coffee on the peaceful deck. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cookware. The owners were very responsive and the communication was top-notch. We hope to go back to this beautiful spot someday.

Wonderful family vacation

We had a great 4-night stay at Tsali Sunset! While the location is just off the main road and there are a couple cabins nearby, we still felt the middle-of -the-wilderness seclusion we were hoping for! Lots of things to do within a short driving distance as well! The cabin was clean, there were plenty of towels, the kitchen was well stocked with all the equipment we would possibly need, and the sunset views were out of this world! The hot tub was absolutely amazing! Super clean, very hot, and working jets (which our last rental did not have)! A couple things to note for prospective renters: third bedroom does not have AC, master bedroom only has dvd player, and afternoon sun shines directly into the living room. I would definitely recommend for a couple or small family (we had myself, my husband, and two 5 year olds).

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 :)

Little Spring Break Getaway

We gladly give our stay 5/5! Everything we saw in the photos was true or even better in person. We enjoyed the hot tub, the firepit, and the stunning views of both the mountains and the starry skies which were really all our own. All three beds were reported as so comfy and cozy - we all slept great! We did some exploring right on the property, ventured into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, drove over to Asheville, and hit some quaint stores in downtown Bryson City. Heating/AC units were easy to navigate with remotes, Wifi, coffee/Kuerig maker, dishwasher, washer and dryer, TV, and microwave were all working without problems. When we had a question, it was answered very quickly. Not sure why there are so many open dates for this property...we'd absolutely book it again if/when we return (we do extensive research before we invest in a vacation). It's a perfect place to have close access to GSMNP on the peaceful southern edge without staying on the northern-edge-touristy-madness that is Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg! :) Thank you for a great 5 day retreat from reality and the busyness of everyday life!

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!!

Birthday weekend

What a great place to get away! After driving for 4 hours our brains were not functioning properly and it wouldve been helpful to have the number on the house. (Although detailed directions were provided). It was a very clean house! Soft bed sheets! Easy check out instructions! There were basic kitchen ncessities however both manual can openers did not work. A wine bottle oepner wouldve been nice. And instructions to work the heat wouldve been nice too, we were only told they have to both be on heat or both be on cool but not how to actually do it. But overall, you cant beat it! Fantastic place!

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.

Great location

My family stayed for three days after we had been in Gatlinburg, and I stayed for another three days and rode my motorcycle all over North Carolina. Nice view of mountains and especially great view of mountain sunsets. Place was furnished like a cabin, owners left good notes. We went swimming at a public area in Fontana lake. That was 5 to 10 minutes away. Fontana dam is about 30 minutes away. Tail of the Dragon is approximately 45 minutes away. I spent several days riding all over. Great location for riders ample space to park. Our family went white water rafting as well at Nantahala outdoor Center. This was approximately 15 minutes away. It was absolutely fantastic. Bryson city is about 15 minutes away. That’s where you would get your groceries or go to any restaurants. The place felt like home right away. Hot tub was nice and big. I highly recommend this place.
