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.

From the moment we arrived, we felt the tranquility and comfort of a loving home. The cabin was authentically charming. We enjoyed reading about its history and enjoyed all the amenities provided by the hosts.Nesteled in the mountains with a beautiful flowing creek and a firepit allowed us to completely destress and relax.

The cabin was wonderful. Very simple and rustic listened to creek flowing all night. Close enough to run to town if needed and far enough away to feel truly in the mountains Will definitely recommend

Our stay was wonderful. We had trouble unlocking the keyless entry, but there was a key available. Everything we needed was there, especially in the kitchen. It was quiet and peaceful. Their description was accurate- it's a very curvy road getting there, but it was beautiful!

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

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.

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.
