The Junction-backwoods tiny home on brook trout stream with mountain ridge view

Are the backwoods calling? Travel a half hour from town to an uneven gravel/dirt road to get up close and personal with nature. The cabin overlooks two wild brook trout creeks converging to one, plus a mountain ridge view! Let this forest hideaway bring tranquility or adventure for a couple's overnight or longer. We want our guests to feel the spirit of the area and the simplicity of life so unplug, enjoy the view and melt the stress away. Be aware venomous snakes and wild animals are indigenous to our area. 2 miles from paved road, all vehicles need 5" clearance, 1.2 mile of uneven gravel/dirt and potholes. NOT suitable for motorcycles. No cell or WiFi. No charging EV batteries. Use ONLY our directions!

Logging days of the past used the creeks to harvest timber. The boulder creek offers lots of white noise with small waterfalls that can be seen and heard throughout. Bring your pole as it's home to wild brook trout or hatchery supported downstream.

Country décor shows logging history in this well-equipped 400 sq ft cabin. Relax on the deck or take a nap in the covered porch. Walk your own private trail that leads to the creek-side deck.

The Nantahala National Forest is our backyard and playground. Bring your outdoor gear for adventure right outside your door. Come "tame the dragon", ride the "Cherohala Skyway" or "hug" a tree at Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest.

It has everything you need for a solo traveler or a couple. Spend a few nights or an extended stay. We hope to hear from ya!

PEACEFUL & SECLUDED ADVENTURE
Started this adventure with the final mile of road not being as challenging as I thought it would be. Actually, it only adds to the backwoods atmosphere which was the idea in the first place! Cabin/cottage more than ample size, particularly with the huge deck which offers both covered and open areas for relaxing in sun or shade. And the 4-5’ ceiling height of the carpeted loft area would have been a cool and exciting sleeping-bag experience for me when I was a kid, not to mention the fun-looking stairs to climb in order to get up there! Every conceivable item of convenience has been thought of in order for guests to have an all-around perfect stay. Great view from the deck 30-40’ above the creek, as well as easy access below for fishing and/or wading. Just a great all-around enjoyable experience thanks to Alice and Doug!!

Simply the best
This cabin and property is incredible. If you are looking for seclusion, nature, comfort and adventure, look no further. The owners put so much effort into maintaining this wonderful forested retreat that you will want to return every year! Waking up to the calming sounds of the brook is a real treat, as is cozily watching a thunderstorm from the deck, or curling up near the fire pit on a cool evening.

A Shangri La of the Nantahala
Outstanding in every way. Everything positive other reviewers say about the place is true so I won't repeat them here. Many thoughtful additions/appointments make your stay a couple of shelves above 'OK'. There's no internet but Starlink Mini worked well enough (Best location is right on the deck rail a few feet beyond the steps and orient the antenna towards the north. The app will do the rest.) The drain field immediately to the east of The Junction (with a nice fire pit) makes for a great drone operations site. The only FYI worth the mention is that you need to be aware that the final mile-plus of road is primitive and nowhere near code. You need a SUV or truck (preferably 4WD). The first time you encounter it you likely will be intimidated and wonder if you've followed directions correctly. Just relax, take it slow, keep an eye out for the big rocks that will rip out an oil pan if you don't have the clearance, and hum a few bars from 'Deliverance'. If you've never been here, I highly recommend that you do NOT arrive in the dark. The Junction is well lit and you won't miss it.

A LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN ON EARTH
The Junction was exactly as pictured on VRBO. Cutest little tiny house ever! It had everything we needed and after a day we stopped missing WiFi and Internet. The scenery was breathtaking, listening to the sound of the water running over the rocks on the creeks below was the most beautiful sound when waking up drinking coffee in the coolness of the morning air and to hear the same sound at night took all the stress away. Everything we needed was there, comfy bed and the softest sheets I've ever slept on. I thought the tiny shower would be a challenge but I found that it was very comfortable and even though the water tank was only 20 gallons, we easily took showers without running out of hot water..I've got longer hair so I was worried about the water pressure getting all the soap out, but the pressure was almost better than I have in my own home. The loft above was pretty cool and loaded with games and puzzles, so we took advantage of that a few times. Communication with Alice was easy and quick, plenty of instructions and brochures on the kitchen table to help us navigate our first trip to NC...It was nice to know that our hosts were not far away if we had a problem, but not ONE single problem in the 4-5 days we were there. The gravel road took a minute to get used to but it was quite quaint and charming. I can't think of one single bad thing about our trip! Thank you Alice for allowing us to spend a few days in a beautiful place! I would highly recommend this!

Absolute Paradise
We absolutely loved the setting and the accommodations. We only wish we would have stayed more than one night and hope to go back for a longer stay in the future. Host left lots of information on things to do in the area as well as maps. We used this information to plan a visit to the Joyce Kilmer memorial forest and absolutely loved it! We highly recommend this property for anyone looking to get away from it all.

Off the grid and perfect
The Junction is off the beaten path but definitely worth the trip. No cell service, no wi-fi - the perfect place to disappear for a while. The photos of the view of the river from the deck do not do it justice. Truly beautiful. And the hosts are wonderful. Highly recommend.

A little slice of Heaven.
My wife and I had the misfortune of having to cancel our Honeymoon due to a knee injury. Upon looking, she found this treasure and we jumped on the opportunity to spend the time together. When we entered the cabin, there was a welcome sign and in the living room.....a small Christmas tree and hearts for both occasions. Not only that, there was a big brownie and a present on the kitchen table! Absolutely everything was perfect....from the cabin itself to the river flowing below us. It was great to be able to "unplug" and just be together. Oh, being able to leave our mark on the porch was a blast :) Thank you so much!

Extremely Remote Tranquil Cabin/Tiny House
Once you arrive at the cabin/tiny house it is adorable and very tranquil and has all of your basic needs. I suggest you arrive at the cabin during daylight hours. We made the mistake of arriving at nightfall and it made locating it tricky. I am more of a going places and doing things kind of person so that required a lot of driving as the little town of Robbinsville has nothing to offer. However, you can get to Bryson and Cherokee in a little over an hour or so. If you really want to just relax and disconnect from the world, this is your place.

Enchanting and dreamy!
What a quaint surprise, tucked away in the serene hollow of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mtns. The creek was perfect and the cabin was everything we needed and wished for! We did a lot of our cooking and the kitchen is efficient. No cell signal and no WiFi took some getting used to, lol, but was exactly what we needed to recharge. We walked the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest Trail and must say, it’s amazing!!! Allow yourself a couple of hours to really take it all in.

This is the perfect place to disconnect from the daily grind and reconnect with your spouse. We so enjoyed the fact that nature surrounded us and reminded us we where all that was needed. The cabin is beautiful and stocked with all the essentials, just bring your groceries and get ready to unwind. We walked the creek, drove the mountains and even played board games, most of all we held hands, talked and enjoyed our time together. Perfect is what it seems to be.

A PERFECT “Getaway”!
My adult son & I sought a place “away from the everyday hustle & bustle”, the tranquility of a remote location in a beautiful natural setting. The Junction fit what we sought PERFECTLY! We stayed a full week, drove into town only once, ~midweek, for additional groceries. Each day we hiked & explored the area near the cabin, fished in the steam, & caught Brook & Rainbow trout up & down stream from the cabin. It was like a camping trip to a remote wilderness area, but with all the comforts of home in a perfect cabin. Alice & Doug have done an outstanding job of researching the local history & very tastefully & appropriately decorated the cabin, confirmed by the posted pictures.They also provide everything one could possibly need/want in the cabin, both for comfort & necessity. After a day of hiking/fishing we would sit on the covered or open part of the deck looking down on the beautiful clear, flowing water of a mountain stream… or looking out & up at a colorful mountain ridge, both the sights & sounds were incredibly relaxing & spirit renewing. The natural beauty surrounding the cabin is outstanding! I could write/say much more, all positive, about the Junction & hosts, Alice & Doug… but will end this review by simply saying… I can’t wait to find an opportunity to return to THE JUNCTION!

Glad I brought a truck
First of all, this spot was perfect. From the small details like fishing poles and bait to the comfort of falling asleep to the sound of the creek behind the house. It was extremely relaxing. Plenty of rocks to be found for the avid rockhounds out there, which my wife is one of them. The cabin was absolutely great in every way, super clean and provided everything we needed and nothing we didnt. Funny enough, we were starving when we made it in and initially joked how food wasnt provided, only to discover two muffins awaiting our arrival; an ironic blessing. As for the title, I am glad I brought a truck. The directions getting there were easy enough to follow, even in the dead of night. But you are definitely "off grid'ish" way back in the woods on what seems like a perfect 4 wheeling trail. How they got a Miata back there is a mystery I have yet to solve. I would definitely recommend vehicles larger than a car - truck, suv, van... something of that variety, if you value your vehicle. If you end up on street racer paradise road, God be with you. It's awesome! But not so much in a truck. All in all, it was a great trip and will definitely be back, and will stay at this property again. Kudos to the home owners! They have provided an amazing location to get away from the daily grind.
