LOCATION & ACCESSIBILITY
This mountain cabin is a 20 minute ride to charming downtown Bryson City, Deep Creek and many other popular Smoky Mountain adventures.  You are just a few short minutes from the marina and boat launch at Fontana Lake.  The outdoor adventurous fun of the Nantahala Gorge featuring white water rafting and zip lining is only 30 minutes away.  Cherokee and the Smoky Mountain National Park is about 45 minutes.

Roads in the mountains are curvy and steep of course but 2WD vehicles are usually fine to access the cabin, but all wheel drive is strongly recommended in the winter.  The neighborhood road is paved but the final 50 yard driveway approach has gravel.

All bedrooms have smart Roku TV’s.  Surprisingly good cell service and WiFi help you to stay connected while away.

Only one other cabin shares the mountain side so enjoy the seclusion and beauty at Sunset Vista!

Attention: Active Wildlife in the Area

Our area of WNC is currently experiencing increased wildlife activity, particularly from bears. While it’s a privilege to share our environment with these magnificent creatures, it’s essential that we all take precautions to ensure our safety and theirs.

Please follow these guidelines:

Secure all food and garbage: Bears are attracted to strong smells. Do not leave food in your car and reattach bungee cords to trash can lids every time.
Be aware of your surroundings: Stay alert, especially during dawn and dusk when wildlife is most active.
Avoid close encounters: If you see a bear or other wildlife, maintain a safe distance and do not approach.
Travel in groups: When possible, hike or explore with others, and make noise to alert animals of your presence. Keep dogs leashed at all times.
Your cooperation is crucial in maintaining a safe and harmonious environment for everyone. Thank you for your attention and care.
