About this property

Deal's Gap, Cherohala, NOC, Tsali, Fontana Or Harrah's -- All Within Reach

The secluded location of this cabin is definitely the appeal, but there are so many creature comforts at the property that you may not ever want to leave. The fully equipped kitchen with stainless appliance is much more than you find at most rental cabins, so bring your food, grill on the Weber (spare tank included), and settle in with a bottle of wine in front of the gas log fireplace. There's fast, free WIFI, and even a stereo with Bose speakers for your enjoyment, but there's plenty of appeal outside, too. The custom stone fire pit (kindling and fire wood is provided) and relaxing Adirondack chairs will keep you occupied roasting marshmallows for S'mores or telling stories of the day's activities. Adjacent is the bubbling hot tub, toasty warm year round for a relaxing soak while counting the stars.

Back inside, in the upstairs open loft you’ll enjoy the 8-foot slate pool table or the dart board as you like (or full size Murphy bed for extra sleeping), but you will absolutely notice the pillow-top king mattress when you finally retire to the downstairs master bedroom. There is a down comforter and luxury pillows, all dressed in high thread count cotton linens. All properties managed by Watershed Cabins participate in their Xplorie program.this provides one free admission to each of various local attractions for every day of your stay.attractions change regularly and seasonally but usually include Biltmore Estate, whitewater rafting, zip Lines, and more.

Overall pretty good, but had some issues

This was a really cute cabin with a nice view and good amenities, the included tickets to local attractions were a nice bonus. We especially appreciated how comfy the bed and linens were, and the place was very clean. Check in was a breeze. However, we did have a few issues that weren't just acts of God. We received two different passwords for accessing the wifi, both of which were wrong. We did finally get access after some stress by locating the router and using the password on the router. Additionally, the pots, pans, and bakeware provided were mostly unusable (as in scratched so badly they hardly even had their nonstick surface, were rusting, or had so much gunk on them they were unusable), and the dishwasher was unusable as there was a drawer handle preventing anyone from opening the door more than a foot. I will say, though, that we had an issue that was no one's fault and the repair person who came out was simply lovey, and we discussed the other issues with him and the staff, and it sounded like they were going to look in to fixes for the kitchen things. Overall, I would come back, I would just bring my own kitchen gear for cooking!

Big storm results in an awesome stay!

Our initial cabin rental didn't have any running water due to a strong storm with heavy lightning, that caused some damage to the well water line. The next morning, we were upgraded to a nicer cabin that had all of the essentials. A big shout out to the team that helped accommodate us in a prompt manner. We enjoyed nearby activities and loved our stay.

Nothing short of spectacular. Location was great given we had scheduled zip lining at the near by Nantahala Outdoor Center. Quiet property. Firewood provided but not used. Lights on at arrival to make entering easy. Would definitely stay again!

Amazing weekend

My partner and I had amazing weekend in the cabin. We couldn’t ask for a better cabin view. When we was looking for cabin we wanted a cabin out in the wood without phone service so we could spend time without distractions from our phones! We had amazing time playing pool upstairs in the loft and soaking in the hot tub ! The only thing we regret is not booking the cabin for a whole week!

False/missing information

Paid in full but Never checked in. NOT MOTORCYCLE OR TRAILER ACCESSIBLE..but this was never listed this way. The management company was a joke when trying to get help or at least some of our money back. Even before checking in it had hot tub problems and the wifi was going to be out all week. Property ,host , and watershed management were a complete scam. We were blessed to find a local place that could take us for the week and our vacation was saved. Lesson learned.

Great location, could not play pool realistically

We got there 10 minutes early & had to wait til the exact time to unlock the door. Upon entering, there were dead bugs everywhere, on the countertops & floors in every room so I had to clean first thing. I rented the place based on the pool table & hot tub but the room was to small to play pool which was very frustrating. The hot tub only had 1 working jet. The freezer was dirty & if you slept in the Murphy bed, you were in a closet. There was no way to play darts because the pool table was in the way. I feel like the shouldn't draw you in to features that you really can't use, false advertisement. I was told that the bugs are invasive which was a ridiculous excuse because I live in the country with "invasive bugs" too but they are not dead all over my house. No one had been there to clean before we arrived and I'm not sure the last time someone cleaned the ceiling fans. There were rules posted on everything which after signing an agreement that took 45 minutes to read, I expected better & I would not stay here again.

Okay....but......

House is a bit out of date. The electric breakers were all blown upon arrival so there was no water or nternet or wifi calling. Breaker for water pump would not reset. Barely had cell signal to call & waited 2 hrs before unpacking before maintenance arrived to fix breaker box. It was not just a thrown breaker. Hot tub was green & slimy so was only able to use it the 3rd/last night after maintenance serviced it while we were gone the 3rd afternoon. Firewood was too wet to burn for campfire from a rain 2 days before arrival. There's not enough room to actually use the pool table properly. There was 1 dart for the dartboard. Blower for the gas fireplace didn't work. Ceiling fan in main room squeaked too loudly to use. There's no toaster. Microwave is very weak. Front desk was responsive. Good location. Very clean

Great Time!

The cabin was easy to get to, very clean and was perfect for a quick weekend getaway. Wood provided was great for a fire and the hot tub was great. We ran into no issues while staying but felt sure that management would have taken care of any issues promptly. Thanks again for the great weekend!

Relaxing Anniversary Weekend

It was very nice overall. The only disappointing thing was not being able to use the hot tub as the water was green even with us placing the shock packets both nights we were there. We were really looking forward to that. It was clean and the pool table kept us occupied.

Fantastic Views

The cabin was perfect for what my husband and I wanted. The hot tub was clean and fantastic. The fire pit with provided wood was great. The wood was wet, but we made it work. The county the cabin is located in is a dry county. So FYI bring your own. We had a great time using the pool table. The views were gorgeous, just closer to other cabins then expected.

Wonderful clean dog friendly getaway - good location

We absolutely loved the location, privacy and amenities of this cabin . Super clean and dog friendly which was a plus for us . The location is perfect for a quiet, private and restful getaway. My husband and I enjoyed the newer and super clean hot tub, a few camp fires and a few games of pool. Communication with property manger is prompt , the only thing we needed to communicate about was if there was a kurig or coffee maker !

Perfect

This was the perfect little cabin for our family. It’s distance from other cabins was great. The hot tub and pool table was perfect combination of activities to enjoy. It is a steep climb to get to the cabin so keep that in mind with what vehicle you will be driving. Great Thanksgiving spent in this cabin. Thank you Laurie

Great Amenities but cleanliness is lacking

we enjoyed the nice clean bed, bathrooms, and hot tube but there was a great deal of pet hair on the carpet, cob webs and spiders in places, the kitchen utilizes need an update, cicada all over the cabin at night to the point of not being able to go out. There is a barrier spray that can be purchased online that could be sprayed around the house. We loved the decor and amenities but it is run down some and if you have a car getting up the driveway could be extremely difficult due to the hill.

A great cabin experience

This is a beautiful cabin tucked away in the mountains. Close to tons of hiking trails and Fontana Lake. We were notified while in route to the cabin that during a storm the night before, a lightning strike damaged the well pump. Tim (the property manager) was great! He went out of his way to take care of the issue and made sure that everything was taken care of. We had so much fun, we ended up extending our stay another day. Thanks Tim for going the extra mile to make our vacation so memorable!

About the host

Hosted by Tim Goodwin

Host profile image
I am an avid traveler who also happens to invest as part of that lifestyle. I visit the Smokies often and own a property management company in Bryson City (Watershed Cabins, Watershed Resort, and Smoky Mountain Cabins). When I discovered Graham County after years of being in neighboring Swain, I discovered an area with a slightly different feel. Not noticeable by some, but I could see this was a bit more secluded, a bit more quiet, and a bit more simple, yet was just an additional 10-15 minutes from the areas surrounding Fontana Lake and the Nantahala River that I have enjoyed for over 15 years.

Why they chose this property

I was helping some friends buy a cabin in the area, and discovered the investment value of Graham County was excellent. I was so impressed that when a neighboring cabin came on the market, I bought it, and Buckhorn was born. If you are interested in additional room in a neighboring cabin, the 2 bedroom Thunderhead cabin is easily walkable and the 3 bedroom Big Swag is also nearby.

What makes this property unique

1 bedroom cabins are fairly rare, and couples tend to get forced into paying for a bedroom they really don't need. Or couples with small kids might want a sleeping spot that is little better than just a sofa, so I added the Murphy bed for additional sleeping. This also works for singles or other adults that may want to keep the costs down without having to share a bed. I designed this cabin for these situations, but put features like the Bose speakers, luxury linens, and the stainless appliances in there because I don't believe that budget travel should skimp on certain items.There's always camping for that, right?
