Alarka Creek Log Cabins, Bryson City

My Husband and spent a few nights at the River Birch cabin which is larger than the White Oak. We decided to stay at the River Birch because of the creek-river being so close and because the River Birch is the most secluded of the 3 places offered. First I would like to praise the owner, she is a very plesant young woman with so much attention to detail. Around every corner and tucked in every crease of this amazing cabin you will find something special. From the flowers to the antiques back to the decor and on to all the little critters that you will meet, there is definately something to put a smile on everyones face. If you like to fish, read, sit or walk and enjoy the beautiful gardens the owner has grown all around the cabin .... this place is for you! As soon as we opened the door, the candles were lit and the entire cabin had a smell of spice in the air. The decor inside makes you feel so comfortable...like you have lived here all your life. My husband and I sat for hours on the porch. And in the mornings we would sip coffee and eat apple bread that we picked up at the Ingles bakery in nearby bryson city. This was the most peaceful time I have ever had. 4 days of peace, 2 happy people and we will definately be back. By the way, the king size bed was soooo comfortable! OOOOH.... The smoky mountain R&R runs along the track behind the cabin... around 10:30 and 2:30 you can stand on the porch and wave at all the children (and adults) that are riding the train, for some reason I found this to be so much fun! They wave like there aint no tomorrow and so did I! Anyway, best thing I can say is this cabin is not Disney World, but its just as magical!! A place where I really want to spend time with everyone I love, and worth more than twice the price paid.
