About this property

Cliffhanging Cabin over French Broad River between Hot Springs, NC and Gatlinburg Tn

You have never stayed anywhere like this. Built on a cliff overlooking the French Broad River, you can see miles of mountains for more than 180 degrees from inside the cabin and from 3 decks on different levels. Ride an electric lift down the cliff or walk the stairs to the cabin. 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, jacuzzi tub, full kitchen, washer and dryer, Direct Tv. 40 min from Hot Springs, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, Sevierville, and 1 hour from Ashville, and Knoxville.

The cabin is on two levels overlooking the French Broad River. Each bedroom has phenomenal expansive views of the mountains as you look down literally over the river more than 100 feet below! Catch your breath as you walk out onto one of the cantilevered decks.

The kitchen and living room on the first floor have equally breathtaking views!

Each floor boasts of a full bathroom with showers and sit-down tubs. Large, exposed timber ceilings and tongue-in-grooved walls and floors give it the handcrafted feel that one expects from a mountain cabin. Anyone that does woodwork cannot help but be impressed with the massive Timber stairs between the floors.

From every living space including the kitchen, living room, and bedrooms, you are surrounded by the beauty of the Smoky Mountains. You will want to stay home sip your coffee and drink in the view while you relax to the sound of the French Broad River slipping by far below.

Since there is no trash service out here in the mountains, guests are expected to remove and dispose of the trash generated. There are two trash disposal sites close to the cabin for your convivence. The site is less than 2 miles from the cabin and on your way out. The signs say only Cocke county residents, and this trash is generated in Cocke and can be disposed of there. If you leave on a Sunday or holiday, you may leave one trash bag for the cleaners to remove.

As incredible as it looks
The most accurately GORGEOUS home I have ever seen. The hosts were extremely kind and communicative, check out was so easy, we were given complete privacy and everything was exactly as described. The wifi worked perfectly which was good as it gave as the ability to contact our families, but otherwise we unplugged and just basked in the insane beauty this home has to offer.

Holy Smokes, What a View
This cabin is so unique. The view is stunning, and the digs are comfy. Beds are very comfy!! Both bathrooms are extra-large and the one upstairs does have a hydro tub. No need for that though, as the hot tub is working and very soothing. Kitchen is very well stocked and the clean. Let's talk about the view.....wow, it is majestic. The cicadas were chirping so loud, they almost drowned out the conversation. Two levels of outdoor deck, both of them had swings, which we enjoyed. More than once a comment had been made about how comfortable the rocking chairs were. The whole atmosphere oozes....relax and let it go. The cabin is tucked away a bit from the main road. Google did a great job of locating the home. The cabin is behind the main house and is clearly marked by signage as we pulled in the driveway. The owners were very easy to get ahold of and check in was easy. They do have a few things for you to take care of upon check out, but nothing out of the ordinary for a VRBO. If you want to get away, but still be close, I highly recommend booking this cabin on a cliff.

Our stay at cliffhang
The property has sensational views and is very welcoming. Unfortunately when we arrived the home was infested with ladybugs and stink bugs both dead and alive. We spent several hours cleaning the bugs from the windows on the sunny side of the house. The next day we had more bugs so we contacted the owner. His response was that the cleaning crew would get them after we left. The next day we had bugs crawling on us in the family room and falling into our dinner. I’m not sure why we had to pay for cleaning when in addition to collecting and killing bugs we also had to take our trash to the recycling center or we would be charged $20 per bag

Host profile image
My husband and I built this cabin as a getaway retreat for him to study and read the Bible. It has evolved over the years from a simple picknick table to this phenomenal two bedrooms two bath cabin with breathtaking views of the mountains and the river. We love to share it with friends and hope that many people will be blessed as they are able to get away and relax in the Tennessee mountains
