Bryson City Cabin · Sleeps 5 · Pets OK · Fire Pit

Gather around the fire pit as the Great Smoky Mountains settle into evening. Sunset Farms – Raccoon is a charming 2-bedroom cabin in Whittier, NC — about 15 minutes to Bryson City and a short drive to Cherokee — made for slow mornings and starry nights. It sleeps up to 5: a queen and a double in the two bedrooms, plus a twin pull-out couch in the living room. Inside you'll find a full kitchen, smart TV, fast WiFi, central A/C and heat, and outdoor seating around your own fire ring. Traveling with a pet? They're welcome here.



This is your basecamp for the mountains: the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad, Deep Creek tubing and waterfall hikes, whitewater on the Nantahala, lazy floats on the Tuckasegee River, and Harrah's Cherokee Casino are all close by — with Great Smoky Mountains National Park practically in the backyard. Adventure all day, then unwind by the fire.



The cabin is single-level and easy to settle into: generous light, hard floors, and a layout that keeps everyone together without feeling cramped. Simple, comfortable, and genuinely restful.



Good to know: Cabin #2 — Racoon is 500 sq ft with one full bath and free on-site parking — one of the cabins in the quiet Sunset Farms community.
