Luxury Accommodations in the Nantahala Mountains

Cherokee Mountain Cabins offers you luxury cabins in western North Carolina's Nantahala Mountains. Our accommodations are just off the Nanthala River, midway between Nantahala Lake and the Nantahala River Gorge. And, if your plans involve a large gathering, we have an event center that's exactly what you're looking for. 

Cabins

Our accommodations at Cherokee Mountain Cabins include private, secluded one, two, three, and four-bedroom cabins. Choose from cabins along White Oak Creek, a tributary of the Nantahala River, and cabins along the mountainside, with stunning views of the surrounding Nantahala Mountains. Each cabin has been thoughtfully located to provide privacy from its neighbors, and each has it's own unique set of amenities, making it easy for you to select the perfect cabin for your specific needs.

Event Center

Our Event Center features a spacious pavilion, built by local craftsmen, using trees from our property. The pavilion includes an entertainment area, a fully-equipped kitchen, a beautifully crafted stone fire pit, cedar tables, and restroom facilities. It's the perfect venue for everything from a family cookout to an unforgettable wedding.

Amenities

While each of our cabins is unique, typical amenities include the following: hand-crafted king and queen-size beds, hot tub and Jacuzzi, game room and pool table, gourmet kitchen, stacked stone fireplace, and central heat and air.

Location is Everything

Cherokee Mountain Cabins is perfectly situated on the Nantahala River between Nantahala Lake and Nantahala Gorge. For you, that means easy access to the attractions that make our part of North Carolina special.

World-Class Fishing

Nantahala River is one of the world's premier trout-fishing locations.

Enjoy a varitey of watersports in the crystal-clear waters of Nantahala Lake.

Watersports

Whitewater Kayaking

The eight-mile stretch of whitewater running through Nantahala Gorge is a kayaker's dream.

Nantahala Lake

Nantahala Lake is a pristine mountain lake created by a man-made dam along the Nantahala River. The lake has almost 30 miles of shore line, most of which is wonderfully undeveloped. And the waters of Nantahala Lake are exceptionally clear.


Nantahala Lake is an excellent place to enjoy boating, swimming, waterskiing, and, of course, fishing. The lake is filled with bass, trout, catfish, and various panfish. It's also the only place in the Southeast where you'll find freshwater Kokanee salmon.

Nantahala River

The Nantahala River is known as one of the best trout fishing streams in the country, especially the section between White Oak Creek and the Nantahala Powerhouse (below the dam). Rainbow trout, brown trout, and brook trout are found naturally in the river, and the state of North Carolina also stocks the river with trout. All in all, the Nantahala River is a trout fisherman's dream.

Nantahala Gorge

Nantahala Gorge is an eight-mile long gorge carved out by the Nantahala River. It's also one of the most popular whitewater rafting and kayaking areas in the Southeast. A trip through the gorge starts off easily enough in Class I rapids, and most of the rapids after that are Class II. But near the end, you'll find yourself in Class III rapids, ensuring the adventure is one you won't forget. Note that Nantahala Gorge, like most parts of Nantahala River, is also an excellent location for fishing, especially trout fishing.

Nantahala National Forest

 Nantahala National Forest is the largest national forest in North Carolina, covering over 530,000 acres. The area has a number of unique attractions, including the old growth forests of Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest, the Cherohala Skyway, and numerous stunning waterfalls. And, best of all, Cherokee Mountain Cabins is located right in the heart of Nantahal National Forest.
