The Hideaway

Overview

This cabin favours several mountain cabin themes including a replica horn chandelier, plenty of fishing and lake-themed decor, plus a western/cowboy master bedroom. There are even some items that shout out to motorcyclists who, much like Mini Cooper, RX7 and other driving enthusiasts, will love the proximity to the Tail of the Dragon and the Cherohala Skyway. But pedallers, too will appreciate this location, as the Tsali mountain bike trails are also just a few miles away.

Land-lubbers don't get all the attention, though, as boaters will love easy access to Fontana Lake at a few different launch options nearby. Come in after a day packed full of activities and relax next the fire or enjoy roasting a marshmallow over the outdoor fire pit, or just relax in the hot tub under the stars. This cabin is easily accessible and motorcycle friendly (we assume only highly experienced riders in this area*), with paved access almost to the cabin. A short gravel driveway is hard-packed and will not give experienced riders any pause. A small, covered carport area compliments the stay to keep your bikes dry.

Enjoy the stone gas-log fireplace from the leather sofa in the great room and eat dinner under the antler chandelier at the table for 6. The kitchen is well-equipped with stainless steel appliances and all the plates and serving items you will need. This includes more pots, pans, storage bowls, and small appliances than you are used to from most rental cabins.

A flat-panel HDTV is provided with Dish Network satellite and premium programming. Listen to the music channels or broadcast your own via an iPod headphone input cable through the Bose cube speakers, which also add a great element when watching sports games or action movies home-theatre style. Upstairs, there is an open loft featuring a 7-foot slate pool table and an additional bathroom.

There is a sleeping nook up here with a full-sized Murphy Bed for additional sleeping. The downstairs bedroom features a king-sized bed with a hallway bathroom, but the entire bedroom, bathroom, and hall is divided from the main living area so is more like a master suite area. DishNetwork HD service in this room on a flat-panel TV.
