“Smawlie” is the name our 4 year old son gave this cozy Log Cabin in 2006. We love sharing our second home and the mountains of Western North Carolina. The property has been in our family for generations! In fact, my mother was raised in these mountains when there was no running water or electricity. A lot has changed since then! This is a state of the art modern log home built with the utmost detail and comfort in mind.
Nestled into the mountainside and bordering the Nantahala National Forest, this new Log Cabin is the perfect weekend getaway! We love to just sit on the deck and listen to the wind in the trees, but when we get bored of that we head to the Nantahala River Gorge to try out some white water rafting, or take our boat out on Nantahala Lake. "Smawlie" is set on a 5 acre lot - so you’ll experiance the peace and solitude you’ve been looking for.
Don’t be surprised if you spot a family of deer while eating breakfast. Each morning, the mountains transform into a world of color and surprise. Try fishing in the highest elevation lake east of the Mississippi or just take a stroll and make your own leaf collection of Laurel, Oak, Pine, Sassafras, Maple, and Birch trees.
The quaint little towns of Andrews and Murphy are just a short drive away in case you don’t want to cook your own meals. Area activities include: whitewater rafting, hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, hunting, mountain climbing, swimming, fishing, boating, and golfing. Bring a favorite DVD for those rainy days.
At only $100per night ($500/week) we feel like the Cabin is a great deal! It's completely stocked with everything you'd find at home, just bring your own toothbrush!
