About this property

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.

This place was so magical! It was made even more special by the host “giving us” the history of house on arrival. If your looking for a quite escape, this is it! The house was immaculate and the creek outback was absolutely beautiful. As stated in other reviews, if you’re a cook they have everything you need to whip up a masterpiece. Loved everything about this place and trash drop off seemed intimidating but was so easy and quick. Can’t wait to come back!

First time ever renting like this, and it was so easy. The host responded quickly to emails and the property was clean and cozy. The creek in the back sounds so very relaxing any time we opened the door. We did inquire about maybe fishing in it but never got a response back. It seems too shallow having seen it in person anyways. I am cold by nature and didn't ask about heating options, There may have been a different option but I wasn't bothered enough to ask. I did try to turn on the fireplace (electric with a remote) and no luck. So when I was cold I used my husband as a heater and buried myself under the blankets provided. The shower is amazing and the hot water is actually too hot for me, and I love melting after a long day. It was especially handy after being scrunched over at the Cherokee Ruby & Sapphire mine. Really relaxed the muscles. The kitchen is stocked with essentials like pots and pans and dishes. There's spices and oil so you don't have to come fully stocked. 10/10 loved it. My husband thoroughly fell in love with the cabin and we will be back.

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.

Nice quiet getaway

My husband and I enjoyed a quiet long weekend in this simple cabin. Lovely creek right out back and even found a trailhead close by and hiked up to the falls. We didn’t want to do too much, just wanted a simple getaway and this place provided just that.

This was the perfect place for a couples getaway for the long holiday weekend. Well-stocked kitchen made breakfast easy each morning. The fireplace made the whole cabin nice and toasty; we used it to get the chill out of the air in the morning and at the end of the day of exploring Bryson City and other local points of interest.
