The space
Our log cabin sits on over 2 acres of private wooded land in Otto, North Carolina which is tucked in the Blue Ridge Mountains between Franklin, NC and Clayton, GA. We want you to enjoy your vacation and your visit to the Western North Carolina mountains.

The home is fully furnished, all you need to bring are your clothes. All linens, towels, standard kitchen items, etc.. are provided for your convenience.

This is a 28x36 completely handcrafted rustic log home consisting of three levels of living space.

The main level consists of a fully stocked kitchen, with a dining area and seating for 10, a half bath, laundry room, living space with sofa bed that can sleep 2, and a large wraparound deck to enjoy the outdoors.

The upper level includes a reading nook, a large master bedroom with a large walk-in closet, open bathroom with stone shower, and also has a private deck, which you will find very peaceful in the mornings and evenings.

The basement level consists of one full bath, one large bedroom with a day bed that sleeps 1-2 and a bunk bed that sleeps 2. The basement also has one large living area with a sleeper sofa and space for an inflatable mattress, if you choose. There are two exits in the basement level leading to another deck, yard area, and fire pit.

This is a rustic handcrafted real log cabin with natural logs exposed in the kitchen/dining area that serve as the floor joist for the master bedroom. A large natural cedar post is the support for the upper landing off the master bedroom. A handcrafted half log staircase leads to the master bedroom.

All trim throughout the house is rough sawn hemlock lumber, all beams are exposed, and ceilings are exposed wood. The railing for the stairs and outside deck has cedar top and bottom rails, and locust with bark on pickets. The railing for the master bedroom is hand hewn white cedar logs. The main level is 8x8 square hemlock logs.

The home is heated with a Lennox signature series 3 ton heat pump zoned for the main level and basement. The master bedroom has a ½ ton mini-split heat pump unit. A wood pellet stove is located on the main floor for a secondary source of heat. You really must see this home to appreciate the craftsmanship, the privacy of the location, and ease of access. Within 7 miles of Franklin, NC and 5 miles to Dillard, GA, lots of local scenery, hiking, antique malls, and much more.
