Quaint, peaceful, & creekside! Alarka Peaceful Creek Cabin - Bryson City

Enjoy the cool creek side or cast a line for trout; sleep to the sounds of the rushing creek or a gentle rain from the metal roof. Our unique, rustic, and comfortable cabin is located outside of Bryson City - only a few miles from the beautiful Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

The ten-window, secluded, enclosed back porch invites you to relax as you watch the variety of birds while listening to the rushing mountain stream just 30 yards away. Enjoy sitting on the deck down on the river or roasting marshmallows at the creek side fire pit. This quaint, two-to-five person cabin consists of an eat-in kitchen, one bathroom, one-bedroom with a queen-size bed, and a very large, vaulted ceiling, cozy living room with original wide-pine flooring and wormy chestnut walls, flat screen 50" TV, a gas-log fireplace and comfy furniture.

The TV includes Dish satellite, streaming capability (bring your login info) and wireless internet.

*Please note that this cabin is not wheelchair/handicap friendly, as shown in the photo gallery; there are steps at both exterior entrances and three steps indoors leading to the bathroom and bedroom area.

Away from it all

Quaint cabin that is well furnished. It is located away from the hustle of everyday life. The stream is like background music while sitting around the firepit at night. Really enjoyed the peace and tranquility of our surroundings and only about 10 miles away from downtown Bryson City and the depot. The town is a must to explore the shops, see the train, and enjoy ice cream while making lasting memories.

I liked the cabin and listening to the River. Not having cell service was not safe. Something needs to be changed in order to get tv stations. Very frustrating trying to watch tv when it goes out and freezes every few minutes.

Comfortable cabin near Smoky Mountains

Imagine staying at your grandma's with a homey and comfortable mix of older furniture, afghans and pillows on every chair and couch, knick-knacks on all surfaces, complete with doilies, a kitchen with every kind of pan and utensil, and the sound of a flowing creek in the background! Had the weather been a little warmer, we would have enjoyed the sunny enclosed porch and the creek side deck also. The hostess was great at communicating. The cabin was well supplied with everything we needed and more than many places we have stayed. Be aware, as other guests have mentioned, that there are some different levels within the cabin which means a few steps up and down. Also I gained a few grey hairs traveling the narrow and very curvy road to the cabin, especially when our minivan met a school bus. But the views are beautiful and the location is a great spot to rest after a day of hiking in the Smokies. We had a wonderful vacation.

Weekend getaway to reunite with family

This cute, little cabin housed a weekend full of sweet memories. What started out as a place to stay to see my grandson graduate from kindergarten turned into a playful weekend on yesterday holidays missed. The host approved for our sweet family to come over for a meal by the firepit. My grandsons played their little hearts out with the vintage toys in the sunroom/porch. Memories were made in the river behind as the kids and mom played in the water, catching crawfish, roasting marshmallows, eating smores, hunting Easter eggs in June so this Grandma could watch. The rocking chairs became bonding time with the youngest after he tired from chasing chickens. This cabin became our weekend home to share with our littles loves. We will be back!

Peaceful Easy Feeling

The location is where you can enjoy silence. Raise the back windows and listen to the stream flowing all night long. Kitchen has everything needed to prepare food except for the food you bring with you. Cellphones do not work except for messaging with the included wifi. Would recommend doing the 5+ mile curvy road in the daytime the first time.Will rent again. Thank you

Cozy Stay

We stayed here for a weekend trip. It was very comfortable and easy to relax. The bed was comfortable and it was nice to be able to cook our meals instead of always going out. The outside was beautifully done and has a nice stream running through. Very happy with this property.

BEAUTIFUL!!

This is truly a quaint cabin. Its perfect in so many ways. It has that welcoming feeling like you get going to grandma and grandpa's house as a kid. Beautiful cabin inside and out, beautifully kept up yard, and a beautiful creek in the back yard. The fire pit sitting up from the creek was just the icing on the cake. On top of all that, the host was super nice, and answered all my questions, even giving little tips of places to go! She even tipped me off where to see Elk, and she was right! I saw a herd of Elk and even got, not only see, but hear a bull elk bugle! Best trip ever!

Cozy and cute!

Cabin was adorable, plenty of space inside for more than the 2 people we traveled with. Kitchen was well equipped. The backward was gorgeous, loved sitting out by the creek. Felt pretty secluded even though there were other places nearby (couldn’t be seen from the house). Drive was windy but only 20 minutes from town. Wifi was good but no cell reception.
