This is no ordinary vacation spot! This log cabin is located in private wooded valley beside a rippling creek, just minutes from downtown Bryson City and Cherokee. Nestled in the heart of our area, Fox Creek Waterside Cabin is close to all the local attractions. Whether you are looking for the thrill of a rushing white water experience on the Nantahala River or a peaceful journey through our mystic mountains on the Great Smoky Mountains Railway, you are just minutes away! There are 2 other cabins in the valley, so if you have a larger group, Fox Creek Cabins may be able to accomodate you. We are located in a secluded valley in the southern Smoky Mountains, yet only two miles from the Bryson City grocery stores, restaurants and shopping. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is just to the north with scenic drives to Clingman's Dome, Cades Cove, the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Ocanuluftee Visitor Center just minutes away. A short drive brings you to Cherokee where your can visit Indian museums, go shopping for native crafts, enjoy the outdoor drama "Unto These Hills" or visit the casinos. A scenic drive beyond Cherokee takes you to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, TN.
