Balsam Mountain Cabin with waterfalls and a great year round view

Enjoy a peaceful getaway in a custom built cabin in the Balsams. Located in a small very private gated community with views of the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains. From the large deck you can take a cat nap, read a good book, or enjoy a wonderful sunset dinner while listening to the tranquil rushing creek with waterfall. Take advantage of the waterfall trail located on the property. You will enjoy spectacular views from every window . Secluded, but just minutes away from downtown dining and shopping in Waynesville, Sylva, or Cherokee and Skiing and Elk reserve in Maggie Valley! You will be a mile from the Blue Ridge Parkway. This will be your new favorite spot! Perfect for a weekend getaway or a week of solitude. Please note, the road to the cabin is paved halfway then turns to a well maintained gravel road. This is a mountain road and does not have streetlights. The road is wide enough for two cars to pass. 4x4 is not necessary. Please be aware of arriving at night the cabin driveway may be harder to locate.

Very good south view of mountains, allowing for sunrise and sunset effects to be noticed. Cabin was very secluded, with the sound of a waterfall just a few hundred yards away.

Beautiful clean cabin, gorgeous view. I would give it five stars, but the water lines were frozen the first night we were there. Wasn't a big deal, we figured it out, and the cabin owner offered to let us stay at another time to make up for it.

Memorial Day long weekend getaway

This cabin was amazing! The views were breathtaking! We had such a wonderful time in this cabin. The view and sound of the waterfall/stream made it hard to leave. You have everything you need to relax and reset. Short drives to Bryson City and Waynesville. We will be back!

Amazing

This is a great place to get away to. It is private and quiet. You are surrounded by wild live and a beautiful view. And the drive up was just that, up! Its a great central location to towns and attractions. I would recommend a weekend get away from the kids and life be taken here any time.

Adorable Cabin with a Great View

Adorable cabin with a great view, close to other hot spots such as Cherokee and Asheville. Short walk to the small stream that flows down the mountain, which was a peaceful place to sit. We observed a few crawdads and salamanders and just enjoyed the ambiance. Would love to visit again when all the tree leaves change colors. 10/10 would recommend anyone take a trip there.

Solitude

I’ve stayed at this cabin five different times. It is on the side of a mountain with a beautiful view with the sound of a waterfall that can be heard on the porch. If you lead a busy life this is the place to escape it.

Lovely Cabin With Mountain Views Close to Blue Ridge Parkway

My family had a wonderful week long vacation here. The property owners were quick to respond when I messaged them. I felt that there was a lot of love and care poured into this cabin, inside and out. I especially loved the irises that bloomed during our stay near the walkway out front. The cabin was very clean and felt like home. The view from the porch is breathtaking. I plan on returning here often.

Breathtaking

We enjoyed our stay so much! The cabin was well stocked, cozy and extremely comfortable. While we were there, the temperature was the hottest so far of the summer but the cool mountain breeze kept us very comfortable with the windows open and the fans on. We had fun playing at the waterfall and watching the lightning bugs come out at night. The owner was very responsive and easy to reach. We hope to return soon. I cannot say enough positive things about our stay.

Exceeded expectations, again!

This was our second visit to this beautiful home, and it was as comfy and relaxing as we remembered. The view from the porch is beautiful, at all hours of the day and night. We spend most of our time just being. Reading, painting, listening to music, taking in the view. So peaceful. Our visit was exactly what we needed. Thank you!
