Smawlie: A Secluded Tiny Home Log Cabin w/ HOT TUB + Amazing Mountain Views

We can't adequately describe how peaceful it is to soak in the Hot Tub on the deck of our little Tiny Home Log Cabin and listen to the birds and the wind rustle through the trees, while watching the sun set turn the sky pink and purple over the Smokey Mountains. Not having cell reception or wifi allows our guests to truly "disconnect in order to reconnect" with their loved ones. With the Nantahala National Forest literally as our back yard, this little log cabin is the perfect secluded nature getaway! After getting one of the best night’s sleep you've ever had in our pillow top bed, you'll have the energy to go Hiking, Fly Fishing and White Water Rafting on the Nantahala River, or Water Skiing on the glassy waters of the Nantahala Lake. Hikers will love the easy access to the Appalachian and Bartram Trails as well as discovering a secret Swimming Hole and Cliff Diving oasis. Other local activities also include mountain biking, kayaking, hunting, golfing, swimming, sight-seeing, and more. Our guests are also welcome to use our kayaks and canoe to explore Nantahala Lake! And when it rains, we've got some DVD’s and games at the cabin to enjoy.

The cabin is stocked with everything you'd have at your own kitchen, including a coffee pot, basic spices, and a propane grill on the deck (propane provided). The quaint little towns of Andrews and Murphy are just a short drive away if you don’t want to cook your own meals, or if you forget your favorite fishing lure. While you're welcome to scour the woods around the cabin for firewood to enjoy at the brick firepit - you're not going on vacation to become a lumberjack - so we recommend you pick up a bundle of dry wood at the Ingles Grocery store in Andrews on your way to the cabin.

Our amazing guests continually tell us how peaceful and therapeutic it is to stay at our cabin. They mention having great plans to visit touristic attractions and outdoor adventures - but are so lured by the peace and beauty of the surroundings of the cabin and the hot tub that they end up spending most the day kicked back on the deck enjoying the view or sitting around the fire pit fascinated by the stars that illuminate the night sky.

NOTE: While mountain roads are sometimes steep and curvy they are well maintained paved roads and completely accessible all the way to our driveway. From there, we have gone to great lengths to make the cabin as accessible as possible, but our GRAVEL driveway is EXTREMELY steep. Therefore, we REQUIRE all guests to either have 4WD or AWD vehicles in order to drive up the driveway! If you don’t have such a vehicle, not to worry, you will enjoy the adventure of parking at the bottom and hiking up. This is a typical request for mountain cabins and not an unreasonable expectation, unless you're unwilling to hike our 800 ft. driveway. NOTE: IF YOU CHOOSE TO IGNORE THIS WARNING, YOU WILL PAY FOR THE DAMAGES TO THE DRIVEWAY AND YOUR VEHICLE, BECAUSE YOU WILL GET STUCK!

Renting Online: If you're reading this then you're ahead of the game when it comes to online renting. We have tried to make the process as simple as possible. Feel free to call us at any time if you have any questions about the process. If you're ready - just continue with the INSTANT BOOKING option. Once we have received confirmation of the payment you will receive a detailed set of directions to the cabin which also include the 'key box code' for entry into the cabin and a VERY detailed guide to all of our favorite activities in the area.

Final note: This cabin is REMOTE by US standards - so be prepared for no cell service, no TV, no WIFI, and no one bothering you! It's the way a vacation should be!!!

Perfect Escape From Society
Cannot put into words how accommodating the host was and how quickly they responded. The driveway was no joke and must be treated with respect. The cabin is better than you can imagine and it’s 20 minutes to the closest cell service. This will be our destination to unplug and unwind from here on out. Cannot recommend it enough.

The best birthday/vacation by far!
The Smawlie cabin was such a beautiful get away! We loved every bit of it. The cabin is very well stocked and was exceptionally clean upon arrival. The view from the porch will make you want to sit and stare off in the mountains all day long! It did rain here and there during our stay, but it didn’t stop us from being able to enjoy relaxing in the hot tub and taking in the greatest view from the porch that I have personally seen. The Henries definitely made this cabin feel like home. We appreciated every single moment and even had a candle lit birthday dinner on the porch (once the rain cleared for a bit). The only complaint we could ever come up with in regards to the Smawlie cabin would be that a four day trip is not enough! We took the hiking trail and although we drove the driveway (we had a 4x4 vehicle) we found ourselves at the bottom of the driveway after taking a little adventure on the trails. I have to admit, the drive way is definitely an experience of it’s own! I got half way up( I’m no hiker by any means) and I almost convinced my other half to run up and get the truck to come save me.. haha! Luckily though he laughed me all the way up the drive way and it felt good to accomplish it by foot. On another note, the Lakes End Marina is a great place to dine in while staying at Smawlie! We had lunch there and rented a pontoon boat and it was a great experience!! Thank you to the Henries, we are so thankful that you shared this beautiful cabin in the mountains with us!!

My boyfriend and I wanted to truly get away from everything and this cabin was more than we could have imagined. It was immaculately clean and had plenty of supplies for us to cook our own meals. Thank God the weather was dry and we had 4 wheel drive, the driveway is no joke. The hot tub was wonderful and we enjoyed sitting g by the fire at night. The complete privacy and stunning views made it one of the best vacations ever. Cannot wait to go back. Thank you!

Secluded relaxing cabin
We really enjoyed our short stay at this cabin for my husbands birthday. It was so nice to unplug and get away from all the craziness of normal life. The hike was adventurous—-and a great workout. 😊 The house was clean and well stocked and the owner was very nice and answers questions quickly. Would love to come back here one day.
