Rustic cabin in the Smoky Mountains. 1 mile off Hwy 28 near Tail of the Dragon
About this cabin rental
Nestled in Stecoah, this charming cabin for R 2,137 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. The house was built in the 1940's and was newly remodeled in 2014. Fully paved driveway off of a 2 lane paved country road with covered parking and paved walkway to the front porch. Makes this a great spot for low profile sports cars and motorcycles (no gravel roads to deal with). It is also an excellent spot for nature enthusiasts, as you can sit on the porch and view wild ducks in the nearby creek, many species of native birds, squirrels and occasionally you may see a deer or other wildlife passing through. It is a cozy little spot with all the luxuries of home and modern accessories such as starlink internet and fire stick for streaming TV. The living room has nice leather seating with recliners on both sides of the couch. Kitchen is fully equipped with all the necessities to cook meals with. Includes gas grill in the covered carport, crockpot, blender, Keurig coffee maker and regular coffee maker and some coffee provided for both. Extra linens, blankets and quilts for beds, throw blankets, towels and wash clothes are provided. There is central heat and air in the downstairs. Also an electric fireplace in the living room. A split unit upstairs provides heat and air conditioning. Ceiling fans are located in both bedrooms as well. Large TV in upstairs bedroom with a Roku box for streaming. From the porch you can view the nearby creek, majestic mountains and the owners garden spot. Feel free to walk down and put your feet in the cool mountain water or gather some fresh veggies from the garden. A fire pit is provided in the side yard of the house with seating for 6 (we also provide firewood and starters so you don’t have to go out looking to buy your wood). There is a picnic table near the gas grill for some outdoor dining with amazing views. All you need to bring is your clothes and food. We can help provide some of those fresh fruits and veggies when they are in season. There is 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The bedroom on the main level has a King bed and the bathroom is connected, but has a separate entrance from utility room also. The upstairs bedroom is 2 full beds and 1 twin bed with a seating area and a deck with table and 2 chairs and a private entry. The bathroom has a huge walk in shower. Both bathrooms have lots of extra towels and wash clothes for your convenience. Extra linens are also provided for both bedrooms. The beds are all covered in very comfortable linens. It is located about 9 miles from Fontana marina. We are in a central location to many area attraction and a short drive to the Tail of the Dragon. Other area nearby attractions include Harrah's Casino, Cherohala Skyway, Great Smoky Mountain Railroad, Fontana Dam, Joyce Kilmer Natonal Forest where in early to mid June the Fireflies light up in unison, and numerous other attractions. The area is great for hiking, biking, motorcycling, lake fishing, fly fishing, boating, swimming, white water rafting or just relaxing. There is also some amazing places for photography here, as Graham County is one of North Carolina's most remote counties. There is a set of Corn Hole boards and a badminton set upon request. Our place is dog friendly. Number of dogs is limited to 2 small type dogs under 50 pounds please.

Charming and Peaceful... enjoyed unplugging. Hosts were more than gracious - they have amazing gardens across the way. Enjoyed Joyce Kilmer Forest, Fontana Dam. Drove Tail of the Dragon, and close enough to Bryson City to enjoy attractions there and that part of the Smoky Mountain National Park. finished our stay in the area driving the Cherohala Skyway... which was amazing... a great vacation!

Clean, Cozy, Sweetly decorated! Great get away!
We immediately were reminded of each of our Grandmas when we pulled in. The place was so sweet and quaint! Everything was clean and the decor was so charming. We really enjoyed our vacation. This cabin was well equipped with everything you need for a get away. The owner Sandi was so responsive to any of our questions. The creek noise will lull you to sleep.

Sandi's cabin was a good choice for our Tail of the Dragon trip in the corvette. It's only 30 minutes to Deal's Gap and 20 minutes to Robbinsville that has a very nice grocery and some good options for dining. The cabin is updated, decorated very nicely.and equipped with everything we needed to make our stay wonderful. It is easy to access with paved roads, not far off the highway. Sandi was a very attentive hostess making sure we had what we needed and available to answer our questions. If you want more than just gorgeous scenery and peaceful surroundings, Bryson City is only 25 minutes away with lots of attractions for young and older. Gatlinburg is about an hour for those wanting more action. We would definitely like to return! Thanks for a great stay!!

This was the best place to stay! Sits off of a quiet paved road up in the mountains, with a babbling creek across the street and ducks. A nice porch to sit outside and drink your coffee or tea. Great hostess! The house is so cutely decorated. You will feel right at home. Hope to go back next year!!

Relaxing stay. Felt great to kick back and enjoy the quite. The only noise was the ducks across the road but loved the ducks the property owner even let us feed them. Now the husband and I are planning on retiring in North Carolina. Humidity was low and was comfortable our whole trip.

Cabin was as advertised. It was clean, cozy, welcoming, and beautifully decorated. It’s close to two lakes and the nantahala outdoor center. Bryson City and Robbinsville are a quick drive for groceries, restaurants, etc. Sandi was a wonderful host and is genuinely interested in providing you with the best experience possible. We will definitely return!

The house was amazing. The moment you walk in it reminds you of grandma and grandpa's house. There are all kinds of interesting and eye catching little plaques, sayings and handcrafted art throughout the cabin. It is spacious and roomy enough for a mid sized family. And pet friendly too boot. Our fur babies had the best time sniffing around the property. Sandi, the owner, is a very kind and gracious hostess that really wants your stay to be perfect and enjoyable for everyone. There is a fire pit for evening get togethers. The stars at night are amazing. No light pollution so you see so many stars it is amazing. There are so many local attractions to see and Deals Gap and the Dragon's Tail are a short ride away if you ride your motorcycle. There is river rafting a short distance away. And miles and miles of curving and twisting tproads to enjoy. Plenty of lakes and streams if fishing is your thing. All in all, the cabin, hostess and adventures are all a trip to remember. Thanks again Sandi.

We wanted to get away for our anniversary and get away we did! This place is amazing. Clean, beautifully decorated and welcoming.

The house has a mountain feel and it is very comfortable and clean. My sons and I enjoyed the front porch when having coffee and watching the ducks in the stream and talking about our days ride. The owners were very accessible and made sure our time at the Lone Duck was a good time and help us with all of our needs. My Sons and I have decided that this will be our place for all of our future Dragon Rides
