About this cabin rental

Perched on a private lot within our 50-acre Watershed Resort tract, Watershed 3 offers a long-range sunset view of Sassafras Gap from a cabin unlike anything else in the mountains. Custom-designed by the owner and built with repurposed, environmentally-friendly materials, this mountain-modern retreat blends chic industrial-loft style with mountain flair. Enjoy floor-to-ceiling windows, a home theater, indoor and outdoor rain showers, a master jetted tub, and a dry sauna added in 2020.
Sleeps 4 across 2 bedrooms. The ground-floor king master suite features 2 captains chairs, an LED fireplace, 50 inch TV, blackout drapes, and a spa-like bath with a 2-person jetted tub and open rain shower. Upstairs, a home theater converts to a second king bedroom with plush bedding, sharing a slate-tile bathroom.
The great room has leather seating, bamboo floors, a gas-log fireplace, and a wraparound covered deck with a bedswing overlooking the mountains. Outside, unwind at the private wood-burning firepit (wood and kindling supplied) and hot tub. The kitchen is fully equipped with granite counters and stainless appliances, and a gas grill with propane is ready for cookouts.
EV charging is available on request (240V outlet, Emporia Level 2 48-amp charger). Free daily admission to top area attractions like the Biltmore, Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, whitewater rafting, and jeep excursions is included with every stay, a $250 daily value.
Note: the garage is for owner use only and is not available to guests.

The stay was very good, just thought some of the items within the house need updating and especially the water quality system. Understand the mountain water issues, but this was the worst we have experience since renting in Bryson City.

Overall happy with our stay- home is beautiful but needing a little attention- Washing machine has mold which is common with stackable- hot tub works but needs a little repair for the jet control, the decking is starting to rot in places on the steps, the sauna needs some minor repairs to the seating. Outdoor seating near fire pit is wet/moldy- Swing is nice- inside is beautiful and very comfortable- lots of technology that os a bit dated- overall it's a great spot that just needs a little TLC- The outside shower is wonderful

Great comfortable cabin. The views and porch are amazing the fire pit and hot tub as well. The kitchen is large and good for cooking meal and the living room and couch are comfortable. The master bedroom is large and comfortable as well. Both the upstairs, outside and the master bath showers are great. The only negatives I have are the cabin needs a deep clean it is not dirty but it is starting to get dusty and grungy and will soo be dirty if no deep clean is done. Second thing is the property roads. It says motorcycle friendly which is not true unless you have a super moto bike. I am very very glad we drove my wife's suv because my car would have been way to low and rwd would have meant I would not have been able to reach the cabin. Not a deal breaker but if you are reading this it would be good to know. All that aside I would stay again.
