Another amazing thing to do while visiting our cabin in the fall!

See the shadow of the bear a few weeks each year during fall color at Whiteside Mountain, near Cashiers and Highlands, North Carolina.

If you know anyone who is on the fence about visiting WNC, especially Haywood/Cherokee counties- please spread the word that we are embracing visitors. Our local economy is dependent on tourism and there have been many people who have cancelled their visits for October, November and December.

While it is true that areas like Asheville, Lake Lure and Black Mountain have had massive destruction, there are also many other small towns and communities who have either escaped major damage or rebuilt quickly and are trying to return to normalcy. This means making a living to feed their families, pay their employees and continue to support harder hit areas of NC. Part of the challenge is people are trauma binging the many social media videos documenting this horrific tragedy. Those videos reary show communities that have overcome the loss and are rebuilt or rebuilding-it’s not nearly as dramatic to see those videos.

Most of the short term rentals in the state, even those not affected by the storms, lost all bookings for October and November. This not only affects the rental owners, but their cleaners, our restaurants, our breweries, shops and other handymen, contractors and tourist related industries. Imagine going through a horrific event, trying to rebuild your life, only to lose your job. Who do you know that is able to lose all their income suddenly for 2 months and still pay their bills?

Yes there are still areas that are hit hard and do not need people gawking at the destruction, but the areas where the damage was minimal are at risk of losing everything if the economy starts to fail. If you do decide to visit, you will be welcomed with alll the hospitality and kindness that has always been such an amazing part of these wonderful mountains ❤️❤️

To all our October guests, it’s going to be a great Fall Yall!!

We know you’re excited for fall colors, and so are we! At the park’s elevation of around 2,200 feet, we’ve got another six to eight weeks until we start seeing the leaves turn.

This handy map from Michael Denslow and Howard Neufeld will give you an idea of when and where to expect peak color throughout the region based on elevation and latitude.

To help make the most of your travel plans, we will be posting regular photo updates here and on our Chimney Rock Fall Color Report throughout October. Stay tuned!🍂

We have had a few amazing guests this summer, but we really love the local ones the best! Shad Rice you have to be up early to catch the wildlife 🙂

We made a jumbo Jenga set for the cabin and asked our guests to write where they are from on the blocks. As you can see we have had some international guests, we love seeing how far folks travel from to enjoy our home. Yes, most guests are coming from FL, can you blame them…? 🤣🙂

Huge shout out to Steve Hallee, master wood smith, for making our logo into a one of a kind, live edge maple sign for our cabin. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome!! Shad Rice

We are super excited that our custom maple house sign was completed and is ready to hang at the cabin! Big thanks to Steve Hallee for turning our logo into a true work of art. It’s solid live edge maple and is going to look amazing on our front porch!

It’s getting close to summer waterfall season!!!

One of the greatest things about this state is all the kid-friendly waterfalls in NC. This guide focuses on more than 20 that children can enjoy.

We have taken this train ride before and it was a great trip for the entire family. It leaves from downtown Bryson City, which is about 40 minutes from the cabin. There is a lot of shopping, restaurants and a couple breweries in Bryson City to enjoy before and after the train ride. Pro tip- pack a cooler with snacks and drinks!

The Great Smoky Mountains Railroad offers beautiful views, plus a “shine and dine” moonshine experience.

When we bought the cabin, we were not sure what to do with the back porch area. It was pretty lackluster, but with the sounds of the creek in the background and all the amazing trees, we knew we needed to do something special with it. So we turned it into a game room with a custom made bar, TV, ping pong table and other games. I love the hook and ring game, it seems I can never get enough!
