Welcome to your peaceful cabin in the woods, located at 2015 Betty's Creek Road in Sylva, North Carolina. Tucked away on a private 0.88-acre wooded lot, this inviting two-story retreat features classic wood shingle siding that blends effortlessly into the beautiful mountain surroundings.
Inside, the 1,152-square-foot floor plan maximizes every inch of space, featuring gorgeous hardwood and tile floors that flow directly into a bright and open great room. This main living area is truly the heart of the home, drawing in an abundance of ambient natural light through large windows that highlight the spectacular tongue-and-groove cathedral ceilings. Anchoring this airy, welcoming space is a stunning stone fireplace featuring brand-new gas logs, creating the perfect atmosphere for cozying up on cool Appalachian evenings.
The well-designed layout includes two comfortable bedrooms and two full bathrooms, offering an ideal setup for a primary residence, a tranquil vacation getaway, or an attractive short-term rental. The kitchen and laundry are move-in ready with recently updated appliances, including a brand-new washer and dryer still under warranty. The true mountain experience continues outside on the expansive wraparound deck, which provides an incredible outdoor living space for entertaining, enjoying the fresh forest air, or relaxing in the private hot tub—which now features a brand-new motor for worry-free soaking under the stars.
Built in 2012, the home is fully equipped for year-round enjoyment with a modern heat pump and central air conditioning. Location is everything, and this property serves as the ultimate launching pad for Western North Carolina adventures. You are perfectly positioned just a short drive from the charming downtowns of Sylva, Dillsboro, and Franklin, giving you easy access to local breweries, artisan shops, and fantastic dining.
For outdoor enthusiasts and potential renters, the cabin offers incredibly close proximity to the Nantahala National Forest, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, world-class trout fishing on the Tuckasegee River, and the excitement of Harrah's Cherokee Casino. Whether you are looking to enjoy the quiet serenity of the forest canopy or seeking a turnkey, low-maintenance investment property in Jackson County, this lovely cabin delivers the perfect balance of rustic charm and everyday convenience.
