Step into a world where history and modern convenience seamlessly blend in this one-of-a-kind antique log cabin retreat

Step into a world where history and modern convenience seamlessly blend in this one-of-a-kind antique log cabin retreat. Built from hand-hewn logs dating back to the 1850s, this cabin carries with it the charm and craftsmanship of a bygone era. Originally constructed in the mid-19th century, the cabin was thoughtfully relocated to the historic resort community of Balsam in 1974, where it has since been carefully updated and expanded to meet contemporary needs while retaining its rustic appeal.

 

The addition of a second story has enhanced the cabin’s livability, featuring a spacious bedroom, a cozy bonus room, a bright sunroom, and a practical utility room. These updates provide ample space and modern comforts without compromising the cabin’s historic integrity. The living area is warm and inviting, with exposed beams and rich wood accents that highlight the craftsmanship of the original structure.

Outside, the cabin’s porch offers a perfect vantage point for breathtaking mountain sunsets. Relax next to the cast iron stove, a traditional touch that adds to the cabin’s rustic allure, while enjoying the peace and serenity of the surrounding landscape. The cabin is ideally situated for outdoor enthusiasts, with scenic hiking trails on the Blue Ridge Parkway just a few miles away, offering endless opportunities for exploration and adventure in the mountains.

Despite its secluded and tranquil feel, this retreat is conveniently located just minutes from the amenities of downtown Waynesville and Sylva. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful getaway, a place to find inspiration, or a charming home filled with character, this antique log cabin offers it all. Experience the perfect balance of historical charm and modern living in a truly unique setting that invites you to relax, explore, and create lasting memories.
