Highlands/Lake Glenville Area-Hot Tub-Mtn Stream-WIFI-Seclusion

HIGHLIGHTS
"Katie Creek Retreat" / Soaring Two-Story Tongue n' Groove, Exposed Log Beam Ceilings / Sparkling Hot Tub / WIFI / Wooded & Secluded, Private Setting / Small Mountain Stream / Wood Burning Inside Fireplace / Outside Firepit/ Updated "Cabin Decor" & Furnishings Throughout / Easy Access off Walnut Creek Road - State Maintained & Paved / Less Than 15 Minutes to Lake Glenville & Franklin / Less Than Half Hour to Highlands and Cashiers / Sleeps 6 Comfortably

THE CABIN
Freshly appointed cabin, centrally located between Highlands/Franklin/Lake Glenville in the Nantahala National Forest of North Carolina. Nestled on over an acre of wooded, mountainous terrain - allowing for maximum privacy and seclusion, yet still only minutes to town and countless outdoor adventures.

Soaring tongue-and-groove, exposed log-beam vaulted ceilings welcome you as you enter the main living space off the covered deck. The fully-equipped kitchen, dining room and main living spaces all flow together for a roomy, light and open floor plan. Big 55” LED TV for viewing your favorite shows/movies. The large wood-burning fireplace is a definite focal point and perfect for gathering around during those cooler months.

Back out onto the expanded covered deck, you’ll find ample outdoor living space to soak in the peaceful wooded mountain views! Speaking of soak, an o-so-relaxing five-seater Hot Tub (w/ waterfall feature) awaits to melt away all your cares in the world after a long-day of outdoor adventures. An outdoor firepit is also the perfect place to roast those smores and enjoy the outdoors! A grill is also provided for those master chefs!

Back inside, on the main level past the kitchen you’ll find your full sized washer and dryer, also the full size bathroom (with stand up shower), along with the main level King Bed Primary Bedroom. Upstairs, you’ll find the two additional guest bedrooms; one with two twin beds and the other with a queen bed AND it's own private balcony. A jack-and-jill bathroom between the two bedrooms for convenient use. Perfect space for the kids or extra guests, allowing this cabin to sleep up to 6 guests very comfortably and "spread out".

THE SURROUNDINGS
The cabin sits at an elevation of 3,000 feet, allowing for those cool mountain breezes even in warmer weather months. The entire property is heavily wooded & shaded, allowing for maximum privacy and a "treehouse" feeling when outside.

There is a freshwater spring on the property, right alongside the firepit, with a very small stream flowing from the spring into Katie Creek below.

The road to get to the cabin is completely paved and well maintained, all the way to the cabin's driveway (state highway). No overly steep roads! Short gravel driveway once you arrive to the cabin, which is a circular driveway making entry/exiting easy.

Wonderful Stay!

We had a fabulous time. Everything was as described and well stocked. The location was great and a short distance to many waterfalls, and both downtown Franklin and the Highlands. We enjoyed the games, hot tub and fire pit very much. We really didn't want to leave! We will be back.

Our Relaxing Getaway

We enjoyed our stay in the peace and quite and beautiful scenic surroundings. The mountains and waterfalls were breathtaking. We relaxed and cooked dinners. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. Our first night there we did experience an issue with the TV and the hosts were very quick to take care of the problem. We would definitely go back and would for sure recommend it to others who are looking to relax and enjoy some down time.

Great fall rental. 👍

Communication with owner since beginning of rental process went perfect. Arrival and entry info smooth. The great room layout was very comfortab Hot tub and fireplace nice on a couple of chilly nights. Kitchen has everything you need but didn't do a lot of cooking. Being well located Between Franklin and the Highlands there are a lot of good places to dine in or pick up. Plenty to do outdoors. Played the Mill Creek Golf course. Course well maintained and scenery beautiful. Take the drive to see cliffs on Whiteside Mountain.

Very accommodating!

Unlike most cabins I’ve rented in the past, this one provides all the amenities (soap, shampoo, laundry detergent, dish soap, dishwasher liquid, towels, garbage bags, towels, robes and even all the items to make s’mores! The checkout process was also easier than any other place I’ve stayed. The cabin had plenty of space, no noisy neighbors and was a short drive from over 15 different waterfalls. I highly recommend!!!’
