We went to stay one night at this beautiful cabin and it was better than advertised. Sounds from the creek was so soothing. We had a relaxing experience and Alice was great in giving us the directions and making us feel home once we got there. We highly recommend this place to whoever looking for a place to stay during their smoky mountains visit.
Thanks,
Ninan & Jasmin

The Owl's Perch is situated in a remote forest overlooking a beautiful mountain stream. It's a tiny cabin, but very cleverly designed and outfitted. There are many craftsmanship features that help make a stay more peasant and memorable, like the surface of a bedside table made of a think slab of beautiful walnut. The very pretty deck features a trio of locally-carved uprights with animal sculptures. The hosts are very helpful with directions to the many natural attractions in the area. The last couple of dirt road miles approaching the cabin are quite rough, but my 2014 Prius managed it without faltering.Graham County is such a wonderful area and the Owl's Perch is a peaceful and inexpensive location from which to enjoy it.

This was the first stay we had ever had in close proximity to property owners. And it was perfect.
Owners provided the perfect blend of sharing local information and privacy/space.
The property was as advertised.
Simple, small and private with access to beautiful mountain stream-side sights and sounds.

Alice gave us the best directions and instructions! The place was so unique. It is like a treehouse. We slept with the window open a little and the sound of the creek put us to sleep. We will be returning ❤️

Had a nice relaxing stay here. It’s a great property, off the beaten path. You kind of have to just go there to appreciate it. Kind and helpful hosts. Beautiful area.

We were looking for 2 things to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary…..to try something different and a peaceful, low stress get-away. The Owl’s Perch was this and so much more. Even though it is a small bunkhouse, I really think we would have been perfectly fine just hanging out in our little nest for 2 full days. We did enjoying sight-seeing and our day trips, but “the perch” was the highlight of our trip! Doug. Alice, and Skippy were wonderful hosts. We only chatted a few times during our short stay, but it felt like we were leaving friends. We look forward to our return!

It was delightful to sit above the creek reading and then to fall asleep to the sound if the water. Cabin small but cozy and immaculate with everything you need. Doug and Alice are wonderful hosts making you feel comfortable during your stay.

Cute Tiny House
If you are looking to unplug and get away to a relaxing tiny house, then this is the place for you! Alice was so nice and accommodating. We enjoyed reading on the deck and listening to the water from the creek. The drive to the property was well off the beaten path so just make sure to have a vehicle with a clearance. Super cute place to get away from everything!

Awesome stay at Owl's Perch!
My wife and I celebrated our 29th anniversary here and it couldn't have been better! Cabin was very cute, steam was beautiful and relaxing, hosts were great! The roads getting into the cabin were not that bad as long as we followed here directions to a T. Definitely planning to go back!

The road was narrow, winding, and bumpy but our little Chevy Spark had no problem at all. The payoff is immediately apparent when you arrive. Alice has done a bang-up job of creating a little Shangri-la, right down to the sleepy old dog snoozing on the porch. We loved the signage on the path down by the stream! It IS important to follow Alice's written directions. I would also suggest you try to arrive while it's still daylight. Some of the landmarks might be hard to spot in the dark.

Amazing view
It’s a cozy room for two! They thought of everything you might need while there. The drive back to the perch is adventurous but worth all the wonderful nature you get to see! The hosts are delightful and make you feel like long time friends!

Peaceful and Amazing
My husband and I stayed at this beautiful little slice of heaven. It was very clean and is exactly what the listing description says. My favorite part was sitting on the deck and having the rushing stream right below. It is very private and extremely serene. Highly recommend!

We were looking for a small place for my husband and I to really get away, decompress and do a little fishing in the cool mountains...and boy, did this place fit the bill! Wonderful hosts and beautiful stream with lots of cool shade and waterfalls. We will be back, with friends, so the Junction next door will the place! The sound of the rushing water & no cell phones pulls the poison right out of you. Sanity maintenance!! The Lombard’s have made a really special place, and we can’t wait to be there again...I’m betting fall will bring spectacular views!!

Tremendous place for two just trying to get away. Beautiful area with lots of privacy. The cabin was terrific, about everything you’d need and very nice and exceptionally clean. Owners who live there on site were very nice and helpful. Hope to make it back later in the year.

Great getaway !
We stayed for one night in the owl’s perch cabin and it was truly amazing. So cozy and comfy to fall asleep with the river sound and just marvelous to wake up with the sun in the trees. A great experience - you have everything you need and the hosts are kind and easy to communicate with. Absolutely recommend !
