About this home

Discover your own slice of mountain living with this beautiful log cabin nestled on 1 peaceful acre along tranquil Laurel Branch. The main cabin built in 1983, features authentic log and chinking construction, highlighted by stunning exposed interior beams. A well-designed addition in 2011 creates a spacious main-level primary bedroom with a private ensuite bath, offering comfort and convenience. This thoughtfully crafted home blends timeless rustic charm with all the modern comforts of today. Relax on the inviting front porch as you listen to the gentle sounds of the nearby creek, or gather in the open living room around the cozy gas log fireplace, surrounded by the warm glow of natural wood. The fully equipped kitchen features modern appliances with a lovely copper sink, perfect for everyday living or entertaining. Inside you’ll also find a second full bathroom, laundry area, and a charming sleeping loft that adds both character and extra space. Don’t miss the handcrafted branch railings—a beautiful nod to classic Appalachian artistry along with tongue & groove pine ceilings that make this cabin truly special.

Perfectly located just minutes from Maggie Valley, Waynesville, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Despite its serene setting, Asheville Regional Airport is a convenient 35-minute drive, making travel to and from your mountain haven simple. Don’t miss this opportunity to own a piece of the North Carolina mountains—a log cabin retreat where comfort, craftsmanship, and the beauty of nature come together perfectly.
