Smoky Mountain Dreams Luxury Log Cabin -mountains, creek, trail & playground.

Welcome to Smoky Mountain Dreams Log Cabin.

This is a very special 3 story luxury mountain log cabin in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Waynesville, North Carolina that is perfect for families with children or a couples getaway. This unique mountain home has a fantastic view of the blue ridge mountains and is nestled in a forest canopy with a private nature trail, a roaring creek running through the back yard and a children's playground in the woods. There is also a log bridge to your own personal island in the woods surrounding a fire pit beautifully lit at night. The home is modern yet rustic and meticulously clean. The home can comfortably host up to 8 adults and 2 children.

Your dream vacation home features 3 floors with 4 large rustic bedrooms (all with queen beds), 3.5 bathrooms and a bonus kids bedroom with a log bunk bed. The huge living room has 20 foot vaulted ceilings, a stacked electric fireplace to the ceiling, a large screen TV with roku and fantastic views. The home also includes an additional downstairs kids bedroom and play area with roku TV and an awesome log bunk bed. A wrap-around deck, hardwood floors and a fully stocked kitchen w/granite counter tops and new appliances. Wifi covers the entire home and grounds. There is also a guest computer connected to the internet for browsing. The roku TVs give you access to movies, news, sports and more. There is a large front yard that is perfect and safe for children or families of all ages.

If you are used to staying in classy hotels or homes you will feel right at home here. The house is impeccably clean, well organized, has comfortable rustic furniture, quality towels and linens, a fully stocked kitchen will all the appliances and much more.

This is not one of those "dirt roads, twisting, looking over the side of a road - scary drives" in the mountains. The home is easy to get to any time of year with paved access all the way to the driveway.

We are located within 30 minutes to a Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrance, 35 minutes to Cataloochee Valley elk viewing, 35 minutes from artsy Asheville, 25 minutes from the Cataloochee ski resort and snow tubing, 20 minutes to the blue ridge parkway with views up to 6,000 feet, 25 minutes from Cherokee Indian reservation, 1 hour from Gatlinburg, 30 minutes to the Casino and much, much more.

We are truly in love with the area and are more than happy to help with any details of your visit including nature activities (hiking, rafting, etc..), restaurants, recommendations and more. We would love to help you plan a perfect trip around your family's time and desires.

Level 2 EV Charger Added!

What a perfect getaway for a family or friend group to enjoy! The property is absolutely beautiful.

The house is stocked with all you need to relax, enjoy and cook for each other. The grounds are lovely, with a firepit, a stream, hammocks, and swings for kids. We were there in April, and the green multiplied as the days passed. We recommend this property highly!

This place is great!! The kids had a blast playing outside while the adults sat around the fire pit. Inside, the cabin was spacious and had everything we needed. The only problem was time went by too fast and we had to leave. If you’re searching for a place to stay in the area, this is it!!

Beautiful Property, Great Stay

We had a wonderful getaway to the Smokies. The home is very nice and clean, and the property itself is nothing short of magical. The kids just wanted to play at the creek, which is so peaceful and relaxing. The new fire pit on the island was wonderful for making s’mores and family memories. We had a wonderful time in North Carolina and would definitely stay here again.
