Property Description
Escape to a sanctuary where the line between home and nature vanishes. Perched among the whispering hardwoods of the Nantahala Gorge, this enchanting log home offers a true "treehouse" lifestyle. Wrapped in the warmth of authentic timber and bathed in dappled sunlight, the open-concept living area features soaring cathedral ceilings and an enchanting stone fireplace, the heart of this mountain retreat. Step out onto the expansive porch to breathe in the crisp forest air; it's the perfect vantage point for morning coffee or listening to the sounds of life in the trees. The primary suite on the main level provides effortless living, while the loft-like atmosphere of the upper level adds to the home's whimsical charm. Descend to the partial basement to find a versatile "bonus" room-ideal for a private studio, a cozy media den, or an overflow sleeping space for guests. Just minutes from the Nantahala Outdoor Center, this property is a rare find for those seeking a vacation rental or a private escape from the ordinary. Come home to your own hidden branch in the forest. Best part: it comes FULLY FURNISHED!
