Magical Mtn Views/Hot Tub/Hiking/Fishing/NOC 5 min

Your Magical Mountain Memories are just a stay away...
GETTING THERE: Getting to the cabin is easy via paved roads all the way to the cabin. As you drive to the Nantahala Gorge, you will experience a true vacation feeling!
INSIDE: From the moment you see the Majestic Long Range Mountain Views from the Cabin, you are sure to be captivated...
There are designer appointments throughout, warm wood floors (bathroom floors and showers are tiled), pine tongue and groove walls, and a complete wall of glass w/ floor to ceiling windows to take in the Incredible Views from nearly every room in the Cabin. The Living Room offers a Gorgeous Native Stone Fireplace.
Relax and take in the Long Range Mountain Views while you cuddle up in front of the Fireplace, wrapped in a plush cotton bathrobe after soaking away the “city stress” in the Sparkling Hot tub filled with fresh spring water.
The stainless & granite kitchen is well appointed with everything you need to cook your meals at your "home away from home”.
On the deck, there is a BBQ Grill (Grilling has never been so View-licious). Dine indoors at the beautiful teak dining table or dine alfresco on the recently expanded deck.
The living room offers an even larger (55") flat screen TV (each bedroom offers flat screen TV's that are equipped with an extensive variety of stations as well).
"Mountain Magic" offers several unique and updated amenities: a Sparkling Fresh Hot Tub (with waterfall feature and even more Jets than the tub we replaced), Comfortable Luxurious Leather living room furniture, 2 fabulous King Beds that offer just the right combination of support and softness.
As always, the beds are prepared with Luxury linens and high quality Bedding.
WIFI: The Internet service (BalsamWest) Internet provider is the best and fastest in the area, and use is unlimited, a designated work space with a desk, chair, computer monitor and a wireless keyboard. Both bathrooms have been updated.
There is an assortment of card/board games, an Air Hockey Table, and more…
OUTDOORS: Bring the S'mores fixins and brush up on your favorite Campfire stories. Gathering around the FirePit is always an end of the day favorite!
NEARBY: There are just over 50 acres of designated Green Space a few steps outside of the front door. There is a hiking trail around the perimeter of the acreage. While hiking the trail you will encounter several ponds (2 small ponds and 1 larger pond), the largest of which is spring fed and has a variety of fish. We have caught brim, catfish, and even some bass...
There is a hand drawn map inside the welcome book to show the hiking trail. NOTE: To get to the pond, hike down hill, around the trail, and hike up hill to get back to the cabin. While it is not a rough trail, it may not be suitable for the elderly depending on the persons physical condition.
Mountain Magic is the perfect place to make your own Magical Mountain Memories!
Good Morning America and National Geographic Vacation voted this area #1 Vacation with a Splash. There are 7-8 restaurants within 10-15 minutes from casual to fine dining. The Tsali (for hiking and biking trails) and Fontana Lake are within 10 minutes. A little farther and you will come to Bryson City - an adorable mountain town offering: shopping, dining, the scenic train depot, and more…

A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.

My husband and I loved our stay at Mountain Magic and didn’t want to leave! The home is beautiful and exactly as pictured, with a well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and a cozy and inviting shared space with a lovely gas fireplace. The view of the mountains was simply spectacular, especially while soaking in the hot tub and making s’mores by the outside fire pit. Bryson City and Cherokee are within 20 and 30 minutes, respectively, and are wonderful places to stroll around, shop, and explore. We particularly liked the Cherokee Cultural Center/Museum. We greatly enjoyed our scenic hikes in the nearby Nantahala National Forest and of course in the Great Smoky Mountains. Communication and instructions from the host were comprehensive and helpful. And the best part is that we could bring our dogs with us. Rent this home-you won’t be disappointed!

The views from this cabin were beautiful. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. Excellent directions. Plenty of wood for fires. We spent a lot of time in the hot tub and at night watched the stars come out. Hot dog sticks were great making delicious hotdogs over the fire. We heard a barred owl a couple of nights and saw deer on the road in. Excellent restaurants in the area.

Great place

The property is fantastic - the view is breath taking. Only complaint is that we lost power Friday evening and didn’t get it back until late Sat afternoon - the power line was down across the driveway making the road impassable. Some brave soul finally propped the power line up precariously with a stick and a step ladder so residents could get through. It was still like that when we left and I guess they were checking guests in anyway. We requested a late check out time due to missing out on a good portion of our time there. We were denied. So, only gripe: don’t expect this company to go above and beyond with customer service. The property however, is amazing!

The road to get to the property is scary, but so worth the view! The house was clean and had everything you need for a few days. They have a great selection of games to play on rainy days. You also can’t beat how many starts you see on a clear night. We truly enjoyed our stay And disconnecting for a few days. I also really liked the guest book it’s a nice touch.

A beautiful retreat in the Smokey Mountains

The views at this cabin are stunning. We particularly enjoyed the hot tub, again with a stunning view and privacy. The cabin is very nicely appointed, and although we didn't get a chance to use the hockey table, I would have liked to. I would like to let people know how remote it is though. Had I known, I would have brought all of our food - we assumed we could eat out more, but Bryson City is quite a drive. I would not hesitate to recommend this cabin though!

Come for the views!

Our family of 3 (+ 2 dogs) spent a very relaxing week at Mountain Magic. The mountain views, new deck, and stargazing from the hot tub were highlights for us! The beds and sofas were comfortable and the cabin was very clean. We did not realize the upstairs bedroom was in an open loft and that the air hockey table was alongside the king bed there. The downside to this for us was that noise traveled though the house and it was difficult to have TV or music playing in more than one place. It’s also worth noting that the top steps leading the the loft have different rises (and are marked) so take care with kids or older adults. This may not be an issue for you, though. The neighborhood is very quiet and we enjoyed walking some of the nearby trails and casting a line into the pond. Bryson City is about 20 min away and we enjoyed our time hiking the Three Waterfalls loop at the Deep Creek park (GSM National Park), just outside downtown. Sylva was about 40 min away but worth it to us for time at the great bookstore, quirky shops, etc. NOC always does a great job leading zip line adventures and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them! Bring your own ziplock bags, foil, etc. The cabin has equipment like a griddle, slow cooker, blender, etc. There were a handful of dried herbs and salt & pepper, on hand, too.

The house was in very good condition. The view was terrific. Getting to and from the location especially at night was very difficult. GPS could not accurately locate. Drive was beginning to freeze on the last day. Iced drive would not have been possible to drive on. Overall it was a nice experience.

As advertised

Awesome time in the Nantahala Gorge. This is a perfect time of year if you are looking to escape the crowds and really enjoy the sights and sounds. Property was beautiful and had everything we needed to accommodate our stay. Private, but still close to the river and Bryson. Gas station less than 5 minute drive at the turn of hwy 19 in case you had any last minute needs. Sleeping in the top loft was beautiful for early morning and the porch offers views that pictures can’t do justice. Read the binder when you come in! I lived here for 4 years and learned about some spots I’d never been to. We will definitely be back. Thank you for everything.

This is a beautiful property! The view is amazing and it is equipped with everything you need. Driving in and out was easy and while the road was narrow there are two reflective mirrors on the blind curves. We hiked, tubed, shopped and rented a pontoon boat for 2 days from Fontana Boat rentals. We will be coming back next year!

Great view and quick access to NOC

We loved our stay at the cabin. It provides beautiful long-range views of mountain ranges. I would add to the listing that cell service (at least with Verizon) is very good at this location (that's not the case for many cabins in the area) and the wifi is very good, for those that need to log-on for work stuff. While the driveway is narrow, it is paved, relatively close to the main road, and easy to navigate.
