About this property

HONEY BEAR CABIN THE SMOKIES! MOUNTAIN VIEW! CLOSE TO CHEROKEE HARRAHS CASINO!

Winter in the Smoky Mountains!
When you rent from us!
YOU don’t just get a Cabin!
YOU GET A VIEW!

Winter in the Smoky Mountains! There are mild winter conditions. Days are in the 40's and 50's. The nights can go down in the 30's. Snow is not a big problem! We usually get less than a week to 2 weeks of snow. There are still blue skies! The sun sets early in the late afternoon.
The forest is a mix or fir, spruce, and pine trees with a beautiful winter canopy in the higher elevations. Hard wood trees oak, cedar and buckeye trees have lost THIER leaves and you can actually see through the forest! Mountain View's are now easier to see the mountains. We have a incredible northerly 30 mile view of the Smoky Mountains!
The rivers, streams, and creeks are flowing and the winter fly fishing season is under way.

A cabin “OFF” the beaten trail in an ecological paradise! The property is 3 1/2 acres on top of a mountain ridgeline with an elevation of 2600 feet above sea level! The view will exceed your expectations!

The cabin has two bedrooms and one bathroom, and a great room, with kitchen, dining area, couches, and laundry. You'll find a well-stocked kitchen, including a new convection oven, a micro wave, and a Keurig coffee machine!

The dining table for four; provides a sunset view over the mountains.
There are Two comfortable leather couches (one is a La-z-boy couch with recliners on the ends) which look out over the Smokies.
The master bedroom has a king sized bed with a down comforter for those cool mountain nights.
The guest bedroom has two trundle single beds.
The bathroom has a shower (no tub) with grab bars.

Pine tongue and groove walls and ceiling with red oak floors, walls, give the "cabin" a “Cozy in the Forrest” feeling!

The first road after you leave the paved street is Crystal Creek Lane!
It is a half mile long gravel road that ends at our road Sapahaw Trail.
Sapahaw trail which is a narrow but well-maintained half mile winding gravel mountain road.
These gravel roads are not LIGHTED.

Sapahaw Trail leads up to the property entrance.
At The property entrance there is a 600' concrete twin ramp drive way that any vehicle can easily go up. As you approach the driveway a automatic light will come on.

Rear wheel drive vehicles will need to use low gear and use a slow consistent speed going up the road. If you have front wheel drive or all wheel drive you can drive in normal gear!

The cabin has a northerly 180* view of the Cherokee Indian Reservation; the Smoky Mountain National Park including Clingman's Dome, (the highest point in the Smokies)!

There are numerous roads and hiking trails into the surrounding mountain ranges! You can essentially hike all the way to the Tennessee border.

There is plenty of space outdoors to bring a tent if you want to sleep out under the stars.

The property is in a location that will give you peace and quiet! Yet you can get to numerous tourist locations and activities 10-30 minutes away.

Peaceful

The hosts are super thorough with information about accessing the property. Definitely needed that when we arrived after dark!The cabin is super clean and very well stocked for cooking and food preparations. The home is close to Harrah’s where our daughter had a volleyball tournament.Hope it’s not needed by others but the nearby hospital and their staff were superb! We requested a late check out due to an unexpected late night in the ER, thankful the hosts graciously allowed us to sleep in to prepare for our drive!Peaceful porch rocking was my favorite pastime while here.

Beautiful View and Great Host!

My wife and I spent a week in this cabin on our vacation. Communication with the host (Tony) was outstanding. He is very nice guy and super easy to talk to as well as extremely accommodating. The cabin is immaculate! I have a full-size Dodge truck and had no problem navigating the road to the cabin or the driveway. This property is located in a perfect geographical location and is close to so many awesome trails, restaurants, shops and endless outdoor activities. My Wife and I will no doubt be booking this cabin again in the future. Couldn’t have asked for more. 10/10!

Great place to relax!

The property was perfect! Hicomplete with pictures to help us find our way. This was helpful when GPS told us we were at our destination but were in the middle of the road, 2 streets away! Lol! The cabin did not disappoint! It was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. We enjoyed relaxing on the front porch, listening to the sounds of nature! We will be back!

Great quiet place

The cabin is really clean, nice, and comfortable with nice aesthetics. It is great to get away from everything, yet close enough to restaurants and other activities. Very specific directions were given and we had no trouble finding the cabin. Plenty of kitchen utensils, pots and pans to prepare meals. We had everything we needed for a comfortable week. The owner was great and gave us tips on things to do in the area. We will definitely stay here again.

a peaceful mountain retreat

With some vacation days to use or lose, my husband and I booked a last-minute 3-day weekend at this wonderful cabin. The directions were very thorough, and we found the drive up the ridge easy--not treacherous or demanding at all, despite some previous reviews. What a treat to be near Cherokee, the GSM National Park, beautiful rivers, and friendly people, and have this quiet retreat on a ridgetop overlooking the mountains at the end of the day. The cabin is very well built, well equipped, and well situated for a peaceful stay. Tony the owner communicates well, is justifiably proud of his property, and truly cares about his visitors.

Idyllic Retreat Near the Smokies

This is a great place for peaceful relaxation in a beautiful setting. With only one very quiet neighbor nearby, the only real sounds you hear are of the nature around you. It's also approximate to many of the Smokies and Appalachian Trail locations for day trips. We visited Wayah Bald and the NOC. Just be prepared of a steep climb on the driveway. Very doable with the concrete strips, but something bo be aware of.

Spectacular Views!!!

Having stayed in many cabins over the years, this one tops them all in the amazing view, the location being so close to awesome hiking in the Smokies, the best ice cream parlor to stop at on the way back, the “cleanliness”, and still like new features! I highly recommend this cabin. We will be back!!!

Cabin with a view

I wish I'd had more time to enjoy the mountain view here! The host communicated well and offered extra time at the cabin to compensate for a dishwasher repair that needed done during my stay. The road was well maintained, although I was concerned on what I'd do if I encountered another vehicle on the single lane. Thankfully that didn't happen. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others looking for a quiet setting in the area.

Awesome mountain getaway

Tony's cabin is super nice. The ride up to the cabin is probably not for the faint of heart, but it's worth it. Definitely travel the first ride up to it during the day. The view is nice and it's super cool to be able to see the stars at night...something that a lot of folks don't get to see. The cabin is pretty conveniently located -- no more than about 10-15 minutes from Byson City and about the same to Dillsboro and Cherokee. The owner really does give you as much communication as possible to make sure you don't get lost and that you know some tips for the area. Would definitely stay again :-)

Quiet Vacation

We wanted to get up in the mountains and enjoy the quiet peaceful great smokey mountains. We were also really looking forward to looking at the stars since we don't see many where we live. Photos of the cabin look very remote and the cabin itself is better than the photos. The area outside was a little disappointing due to a bright blue street light that stays on all night and a cabin right in front of this one. Mr. Kermit was sweet, but he spent the whole day outside working so our quiet time was interrupted by pressure washing, lawn mowing, and weed eating. The cabin itself is amazing and the hosts are wonderful! I would stay here again.
