This cabin was an excellent base camp for visiting the area attractions. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived. It had been recently updated, so everything was in good condition. The kitchen was unusually well equipped; plenty of dishes, utensils, and appliances. It was well equipped outside too; lots of patio chairs, firewood, power outlets, good parking area, etc.
Be aware that there is no AT&T cell signal at the cabin (as of summer 2021). The nearest places we found a signal were the top of Mission Mountain Rd., Stecoah Gap, and Almond.
It's the last house on Pickett Trail, so it was very secluded. It was quiet too, other than the birds, crickets, and some dogs in the neighborhood. The view of the mountains from the porch was excellent. Some of the listing photos show views of neighboring houses and 'downtown' Stecoah, but those must be drone photos, we couldn't see any of that from the cabin.
Be sure to check out the Nantahala Outdoors Center and the Stecoah Arts Center - it's a nice little gallery housed in a beautiful building. A visit to Bryson City (highly recommend Everett Street Diner) makes for a nice afternoon too.
Jim was very responsive, he always got back to us promptly, and when a thunderstorm knocked out the satellite box, he had it replaced the same afternoon we called him.
