AUTHENTIC LOG CABIN • RUSHING MOUNTAIN CREEK • 1.57 ACRES End-of-the-Road Privacy | Covered Porch | Vacation Rental Potential... This Creek-front Cabin has 902 Square Feet that is heated only by the propane fireplace. Some mountain properties are simply different. Tucked away at the end of the road, this authentic flat-log cabin offers a rare combination of rushing creek frontage, privacy, and more than an acre and a half of usable yard. Imagine relaxing on the long, covered front porch, listening to the creek below while enjoying the cool mountain air. At the water's edge, a picturesque outdoor gathering area with a fire pit, swing, garden area and space for yard games creates an inviting setting for quiet evenings, family getaways, and memorable mountain vacations.

Inside, the cabin is cozy, comfortable, and full of rustic character. The eat-in kitchen features solid granite countertops and generous work surfaces for preparing meals and gathering around the table. In the living room, an impressive wall of rock creates a dramatic focal point around the propane fireplace, bringing warmth and classic mountain-cabin atmosphere to the space. Both bedrooms are generously sized, and the full bath has been updated. A covered rear porch offers convenient access when bringing in groceries and supplies.

THE PRACTICAL DETAILS: The two-bedroom cabin sits on approximately 1.57 acres. Features include a private well, two-bedroom septic system, propane on-demand water heater, propane fireplace, and a metal roof replaced in 2014. At approximately 4,100 feet in elevation, there is 'natural air conditioning' from the windows and screened doors and a fire even feels good in the evnings! Internet: the neighbors use Star Link. Crawl space is encapsulated. A storage shed provides additional space for outdoor equipment and a 4-wheeler. The driveway is manageable rather than steep, with a level, graveled parking area offering room to turn around. Paved road access transitions to gravel as you approach the property; take your time along the final stretch of gravel road. The propane fireplace is the only heat and is not counted as a permanent heat source by appraisers, so they will not count any of the square footage as heated.

A MOUNTAIN LOCATION THAT FEELS AWAY FROM IT ALL: State-maintained Black Camp Gap Road leads most of the way, with Mashstomp Road providing the final approach. Yet this secluded setting is approximately 15 minutes from Maggie Valley's four-lane highway access near Ghost Town. From there you can access the Blue Ridge Parkway in about 4 miles, Cherokee and Harrah's Cherokee Casino are approximately 15 miles away, and historic downtown Waynesville—with its local shops, restaurants, and galleries—is about 10 miles away. The surrounding mountains offer opportunities for hiking, scenic drives, wildlife watching, and exploring the nearby Great Smoky Mountains region.

LOOKING FOR A MOUNTAIN GETAWAY WITH INCOME POTENTIAL? These owners have enjoyed the cabin as a private second home rather than operating it as a vacation rental. Vacation rentals are permitted, making this an appealing opportunity for a buyer seeking a personal mountain retreat that could also serve as a short-term rental investment. Enjoy the creek, the privacy, and the authentic cabin experience yourself—or share this special setting with future guests.

Property details and distances are approximate; buyers should verify rental requirements, road-maintenance arrangements, and other matters important to their intended use.
