Jim and Peggy live in Mississippi but spend much of the year in their private mountain cabin near The Cabins at Long Branch. They have visited the western NC mountains for many years and have hiked the trails and viewed the many waterfalls of the area many times. Although there are housekeepers who live nearby...who are always on call should a cabin guest have a question, Jim and Peggy take a personal interest in seeing that visitors have the most pleasant and carefree stay possible. We welcome you to our cabin and will provide you a lot of information about the cabin and the area once you book. If, at any time, you have questions do not hesitate to contact us. The number one house rule that we want understand is: "You Must Have Fun". Enjoy your stay and leave your problems behind.

The Cabins at Long Branch offer all the conveniences of home in a rustic mountain cabin located in a beautiful rugged mountain setting. The cabins are secluded on 40 acres of mountain wilderness adjoining the Nantahala National Forest, yet close to a lot of fun things to do. Take a walk in the woods, hike to a mountain top, dangle your feet in a rushing mountain stream...all without leaving the property. The property is bordered by a trout stream which you can hear rushing down the mountainside from the large covered porch. The cabins are perched on a ridge, snuggled among tall trees with fresh, clean, water provided by a clear mountain spring. The cabins are spacious, and beautifully decorated. They feature central heat and air, free Wi-Fi, wide plank flooring, a floor to ceiling gas log stone fireplace, ceiling fans, satellite TV, a full size washer and dryer, a fully equipped kitchen, a large covered porch with rockers and much more. We are sure you will be pleased with the cabins.

The Nantahala community in western North Carolina is an area that is only now being discovered by visitors. Whitewater rafting and kayaking on the lower Nantahala River, plus trout fishing on the upper Nantahala River, have for a long time drawn visitors to the area. But high above the Nantahala River...Lake Nantahala, the Appalachian Trail, the Bartram Trail, and the natural scenic beauty of waterfalls, long range views, quite glens and rushing streams are being discovered by families from around the world. Summer homes and vacation cabins lie hidden in the lush green forest. Horse back riding stables and zip lines are now sprinkled through the mountains. The nearby small mountain towns of Andrews, Bryson City and Franklin are now home to first class restaurants, scenic train rides, theaters and entertainment for children, yet Nantahala retains its quiet side where nature rules and visitors live near forest life and the rugged beauty of the western North Carolina mountains.
