About this cabin rental

New hot tub!
Wake to ridgeline views, fall asleep to lake sounds. Set on 3+ acres, this 3-level cabin is your Smoky Mountain basecamp. Soak in the hot tub, then hit the ping-pong table in the game room. With 4 bedrooms — including 2 king ensuites, a queen, and a twin room — each with a Smart TV, there's space and privacy for everyone. Walk the trails within the 3 acres and walk around the lake valley with dozens of acres that are mowed and accessible directly from the property. Very quiet neighborhood with miles of dirt roads to explore on foot or by car. The ideal fit for multiple families, larger groups or even small groups that enjoy the luxury of space and privacy.

The Neighborhood

Tucked into the Tobacco Branch Village community, you'll have access to a private lake for kayaking, paddleboarding, and swimming, plus a floating dock where you can sit and take in the mountain views. Kayaks and SUPs are currently on a bring-your-own basis. There's also a pavilion with BBQ grills and picnic benches for group meals, and a large open field perfect for kids and dogs to run and play. Try your luck with horse shoe pit and shuffleboard games with the family. All this just a short drive from Bryson City, Fontana Lake, the Nantahala Outdoor Center (NOC), Tsali recreation and biking trails, Lemons branch trips and marina, and the crown jewel- the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
The Space
Spread across three levels, the cabin is designed for both togetherness and privacy. Two king bedrooms each come with their own ensuite bathroom — perfect for couples or those wanting extra comfort and quiet. A queen bedroom and a twin bedroom round out the sleeping arrangements, all with their own Smart TVs for easy downtime.
The game room is a favorite gathering spot, with a ping-pong table for friendly competition rain or shine. Step outside to soak in the hot tub while soaking up the ridgeline views, or head down to the private community lake for a swim or paddle.

Guest Access

Guests have access to the entire cabin across all three levels, as well as the shared Tobacco Branch Village amenities — the private lake, floating dock, pavilion, and field. Please note the home does include stairs between levels, so guests should be comfortable navigating them.

Getting Around

Centrally located in the valley, you're just minutes from Fontana Lake and a short, easy drive to Bryson City, the NOC, Tsali Recreation Area, and the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park — putting hiking, biking, rafting, and small-town charm all within close reach.

The house was great for our family of 10. Plenty of room and exactly as described. It rained a lot before our stay so it was a little tricky getting out of the driveway (gravel). Overall the house was excellent.

We loved staying here. We didn’t expect to have as much space as we did, and were pleasantly surprise. It was like having a house (top) and an apartment (bottom) in one. If you are looking for swimming, there’s a nice lake right up the road, and for fishing, you have the pond right outside your door. The fire pit area was nice and big, so you can have the campfire feel while not setting directly in the heat. Eating at the table outside in the evening, or rocking on the balcony with your coffee in the morning are a must to soak in everything this spot has to offer. Make sure you take a trip to Bryson City for their shopping and food. 10 out of 10, gladly recommend the whole experience!!

House was nice, clean and overall great for our family. But parking was not good! If you have more than two cars pick another home. Also don’t go in rainy weather. Driveway is very bad and almost needs a 4 wheel drive in good weather. Very steep steps out front and twice as many in back of home. Again home is great but driveway and parking is not
