The Cullisia cabin was originally constructed in the Laurel community near Marshall, North Carolina around 1892. The LL Merchants Company out of Asheville and the Presbyterians hired Jim Leake and Lump Norton to build the cabin for use as a mission and a doctor's office. All the logs were hand hewn.

To move the cabin, the logs were numbered and taken down one by one. In 2012 we rebuilt the cabin beside a mountain creek on East Cullisia Road in the Alarka community near Bryson City, NC.

We used reclaimed materials for the floor, walls and exterior gable ends. All of the logs and much of the inside paneling is native American Chestnut.

Most of the furniture is hand-made from reclaimed materials, using such old time techniques as mortise and tenoning. The heart pine bead board used in the downstairs bedroom was reclaimed from a one-room schoolhouse in Bryson City.

Rest assured, Cullisia features countless improvements over the original cabin with it's more primitive 'comforts'. The cabin has all the features and amenities for today's lifestyles while preserving the nostalgia of a 19th century mountain homestead.

Relaxing cabin with babbling brook.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I loved my stay here. The sounds of the runni g stream is none stop and the fire pit is right next to it so you can sit on the provided log seating or do like i did and bring folding rocking chairs. The gas fire place is perfect just turn the switch on and you have a roaring fire. The soaking tub is perfect after a long day. But if you want a regular shower they have one upstairs in the second full bath. Its easy to get to with google maps. I would recommend this cabin to everyone. I stay at two different cabins every winter in the Smokey Mountains in NC but it will be so hard not to go back to this cabin.

Wonderful cabin in the woods

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Really loved this cabin, so practical and comfy. The only drawbacks were that the shower upstairs is very small and the shower head can't be adjusted. And it's quite dark in the cabin given the woods close around the house. But we loved the layout of the house, and generous supplies of soaps, towels, and the like. And it's a good location - not too far away from the Smokies and Bryson City.

Relaxing Log Cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Peaceful and relaxing stay in this historic log cabin. The sound of the creek was so inviting every time you step outside. The covered porch had rocking chairs and a swing to enjoy the the sights and sounds of nature, as well as a nice fire pit next to the babbling creek. Very quiet area even though the cabin is close to the road. The inside is roomy and cozy and comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need to cook meals. The decor has a fun rustic mountain cabin vibe. It is very conveniently located to Bryson City and the Nantahala river. Bryson City offers good food and access to wonderful hiking with Deep Creek tubing also an option. Overall, it was all we needed and certainly enjoyable.

Cullisia Cabin

A very beautiful cabin. Very homey and comfortable. The cabin was very clean and the amenities were far beyond our expectations. The area was so peaceful. Very little traffic. We enjoyed baby otters playing in the little creek in front of the cabin. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We hope to return to Cullisia Cabin again soon. God bless ~ The Coakers

Wonderful and Relaxing Weekend Get-a-Way

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved staying in the Cullisia Cabin. Charming and comfortable. We were able to open the windows and just listen to the peace the running water outside brought. It was a perfect get-a-way from the city. The cabin had all of the modern amenities we needed without compromising the absolutely charming cabin feel. It is conveniently located to everything in the area we wanted, but also gave us the peace and quiet we were looking for. This is a great place to bring your family or significant other. We will definitely be back!

We had a great time at this cabin. My 10 year old loves the outdoors so the cabin gave him many stories to tell of how they probably did things "a long long time ago". Cabin was wonderfully equipped to make our stay enjoyable and cozy.
