The Cabin

Intimate Mountain
Romance

Tulip Poplar was built for two. While Dogwood and Sassafras offer spacious family accommodations, Tulip Poplar is something entirely different — an intimate retreat crafted with couples in mind, where every detail invites you to slow down, be present, and fall in love with the mountains all over again.

A real wood-burning stove crackles at the heart of the cabin — nothing artificial about this fireplace. The bathroom features heated tile floors, a luxury touch that makes cold mountain mornings something to look forward to. An enclosed sunroom brings the forest inside, wrapping you in glass and greenery. A porch swing sways gently on the covered porch as the river murmurs below. Step out onto the small elevated deck — shaded by the branches of a magnificent Tulip Poplar tree itself — where seating for two awaits, tucked close and quiet under the canopy.

Full kitchen, fiber WiFi, Smart TV, washer/dryer — every convenience is included. GPS coordinates: 35.235769, -83.628406. Slightly different from the other two cabins — use these exact coordinates to navigate here.

🪵
Real Wood-Burning Stove
Not gas — a genuine wood-burning stove with the crackle, the smell, and the warmth that only real wood fire provides. Firewood is provided.
🌡️
Heated Tile Bathroom Floor
Step out of the tub onto warm tile on a cold mountain morning. A luxury detail that makes all the difference in the Appalachian highlands.
🪟
Enclosed Sunroom
A glass-wrapped sunroom where you can experience the forest in every direction without leaving the warmth of the cabin. Bird watching, morning coffee, evening stargazing.
🍃
Porch Swing
A covered porch with a classic porch swing overlooking the mountain forest. Evenings here — listening to the wind in the trees — are unforgettable.
🌳
Elevated Deck Under the Tulip Poplar
A small private elevated deck attached to the cabin, tucked directly beneath the shade of a large Tulip Poplar tree. Seating for two — close, shaded, and quietly removed from the world.
