About this property

Fantastic Smoky Mtn Views - Cozy Quiet Cabin - Convenient location - Easy Access

Our cozy, 3 BR/2 bath TuckAway cabin is located near the quaint community of Whittier on the east side of Bryson City. The cabin is perfectly situated on a mountain ridge so you can experience the “Smoky Mountains” as you view the multiple mountain ranges. The uninhibited, panoramic views of the Smoky Mountains from the deck and balconies provide a quiet and relaxing setting. The Tuckaseegee River runs in the valley below the cabin so you can enjoy the sound of the rushing water as you relax on the decks.

Along with the fantastic mountain views at TuckAway, you also have privacy, easy access to quaint restaurants, shops, groceries, and all the outside amenities enjoyed in the mountains. With a paved drive and well-maintained road, our cabin is easily accessible in a 2-wheel drive vehicle with ample parking.

Whether you enjoy watching the mountains by day or the stars by night, you will be amazed by the view from the deck on the east and south sides at TuckAway. The outside rockers and swing are perfect spots to enjoy the panoramic mountain view and beautiful sunsets and sunrises. Other outside amenities include a gas grill and picnic table for a cookout and a fire pit to enjoy roasted marshmallows, your favorite mountain stories, and s’mores for dessert. For those quiet nights after a day of rafting, tubing, hiking, skiing, or sight-seeing, enjoy reading one of our books or magazines or playing a family board game.

Our TuckAway cabin is fully-furnished with modern appliances, furnishings, satellite TV, Internet, and strong cell phone signals. Relax comfortably any time of the year in our central heat and air conditioned cabin with a wood burning fireplace, LCD satellite TV, DVD player, Gameboy, and comfortable sectional couch in the living area. Free password protected WiFi keeps you connected to the outside world even though you will be so mesmerized by the view and the things to enjoy in the area, you may not need it.

The master bedroom (queen bed, hung TV, dresser, night stand, and full closet) is on the first floor with a full-size, furnished bathroom. The second floor includes two more bedrooms and an additional full-size bathroom. The first of the two upstairs bedrooms has a queen bed, dresser, night stands, full closet, and private balcony with possibly the best view (see our pictures). The second bedroom has full and twin beds, dressers, full closet, and a private balcony overlooking the fire pit, quiet woods, and distant mountains.

The kitchen is fully furnished with modern appliances, quality cookware, and place setting for 8. A separate dining area has wood furniture and convenient access to the kitchen and living area. The outdoor gas grill is the perfect cooking choice and eating outside on our picnic table located on the deck is an awesome experience. A sink and full-size washer and dryer are located in the utility room for your convenience. The utility room is also the perfect “mud room” for wet clothes after getting soaked in the local white water.

Amazing time even in the rain. House is very spacious. Kitchen is tiny, but we weren't there to be chefs. The driveway is rigorous and would possibly need 4x4 in the winter. Amazing views.

Quiet and cozy

This place was great for visiting the Great Smoky Mountains and the surrounding areas while staying away fro, the more popular and busy Tennessee side of the park. So if you want to visit the area and not be stuck in the touristy side, this is a great location that is quiet and has a great view.

Perfect Getaway

We were looking for a cozy getaway to reconnect as a family, and this cabin was absolutely perfect for the 4 of us. The property was beautiful, and the cabin was clean with a well stocked kitchen. There were lots of things to do just a few minutes drive away. We had a great time and hope to be repeat customers!

Family Getaway

Cabin has some wear but I think the owner is starting some remodeling. The views are awesome! The drive is tricky in some spots for a larger vehicle. Did not have to worry about meeting other vehicles which was a plus. Close drive to Bryson City. With some improvements this could be a very nice rental.

House and Owner are great.

House was as advertised, nice master downstairs, 2 smaller but adequate bedrooms up. View from deck is fantastic. Kitchen is well equipped. Road up is adventurous first couple times, but fine once you get used to it. Nice area behind house for a fire. Mark is great communicator and easy to work with. We will rent again.

Great location for Bryson City, GSMNP

Thank you Mark for letting us stay in your mountain home. The size was great for the 6 of us, with parents downstairs and teenager kids upstairs. We really enjoyed the views from the deck, the fire pit in the evening and the location which is great. We went several times to Bryson City which has a ton of things to do, and several days to GSMNP. The driveway was mentioned in several postings. At this time of year, even though it requires caution, it is very manageable, especially due to the fact it is well surfaced. We made it up into a -very- loaded minivan with 6 people inside, no problems...

Cabin close to Bryson City and Cherokee

The property owner was easy to work with. He was out of the country on vacation and still communicated with us at 2:00 AM (his time) when an issue arose. He was friendly, communicated well, responded to emails/questions in a timely manner. Cabin: Well maintained (was currently working on projects which he told us about/no issues). The kitchen seemed to be well stocked. There are 2 bathrooms both with tub/showers. The upstairs has 2 bedrooms each room has a small balcony. There is a laundry room with a washer and dryer. The back yard is set up very well for family time around the fire pit. There is a wrap-around porch and a nice picnic area available. The living room, kitchen, and dining space isn’t huge but it served us well. Didn’t come here to sit inside. The cabin was clean and the only thing we did was ran the dishes in the dishwasher so we knew they were clean. As far as sleeping/beds this is the ONLY reason we didn’t give this cabin a 5 star. The master bed mattress needs to be replaced. You could see it was sunk in on both sides of the mattress and we could not use it. Its an easy fix and one he may not have known of. The cabin is in a quiet location UP the mountain. Beautiful view from the 2nd level. He has a swing out front that needs repaired and young trees growing in front of the swing. Once the trees are trimmed and swing repaired you won’t find a better view! Would use this cabin again! Definitely recommend! Thanks, Mark for sharing your little slice of Heaven!

What a Hidden Gem - Pictures Are Totally Accurate & Awesome! :)

I definitely have to sing the praises of Tuckaway cabin! The name is perfect because Tuckaway is really "tucked away" in the quaint town of Whittier & the views are magnificent, just as pictured! :) We spent 4 nights here in July & it wasn't enough! There's so much to do in the area, which is very close to both Cherokee & Bryson City. The Great Smoky Mtn National Park is also an easy day trip & we enjoyed Chimney Tops trail. We also took a drive on the beautiful Cherohala Skyway & stopped at the Snowbird Lodge, which was a favorite of my in-laws from days gone by. My daughter took her son horseback riding & trout fishing - all within an easy drive of the cabin. The cabin is super comfortable with plenty of room & great attention to detail. There are many board games & videos to watch, but my grandson was the only one who even watched TV while we slept in after our hikes. The beds are especially soft & I slept like a baby after all of our activities. My only suggestion would be to add a king bed to the master bedroom since that's what we have at home, but this is probably insignificant to most guests. The kitchen is completely furnished & we really enjoyed the fire pit & grill out back. Everything worked perfectly - the wifi, cell phone service & water pressure. The views from the cabin are exactly as pictured. When you arrive up the driveway & get out of the car, you will just have to take a minute to drink them in. We spent many happy hours sitting in the rockers, eating at the picnic table, as well as playing cards & games while soaking in the gorgeous mountain view. The stars at night were totally amazing & we even enjoyed a distant thunderstorm from the deck. I have to admit that I was a little concerned about the drive up to the cabin as others expressed in some reviews, but it was only remotely scary the first time. The road is very well marked & maintained with clear directions. While I would suggest arriving in daylight, my daughter came in the wee hours of the morning without issues. Neither of our vehicles are 4 wheel drive, so the only time I'd be concerned about driving up the mountain would be in snow or ice. The owner is one of the nicest I've ever worked with on VRBO. She kept up with us throughout our whole journey & even texted us to make sure we had arrived safely & were enjoying ourselves. She was also very prompt in returning our deposit. We are looking forward to our next visit to Tuckaway!

Relaxing and Beautiful

We went to this area to see the leaves, relax and ride the Smokey Mountain Railroad... and this cabin was AWESOME... it was secluded overlooking mountains just as pictures show and yet we were close to the Railway, National Park, Blue Ridge parkway and other scenic routes... we also were able to just relax at the cabin on the deck every day and at night have a fire ... eating dinner inside/outside, the cabin had everything we needed and the owner was VERY helpful with everything you need to know and what to bring... We hope we can go back someday!! Thank you so much for sharing your paradise with us... we appreciate it...

We have been enjoying the Bryson City/Nantahala area for the past 10 years to relax and enjoy a variety of the activities.

The cabin is conveniently located to many major attractions in the area when we want to be adventerous but at the same time, provides a quiet, private setting with a magnificent view when we want to stay in and relax.
