Mitchell Cabin

This cozy 1 bedroom 1 bath cottage was built in 1870 by William Butler Garrett then down to his great grandson, Dr. William E. Mitchel. The property was restored as originally built, log by log, by Garrett's great-great granddaughter & family. Logs were marked & moved & restored for the front room, exactly as it stood in 1870, adding the modern amenities.

Open floor plan front room features the living room with fireplace (available beginning Sept 15) & full furnished kitchen. Decorated in farmhouse fashion with the modern amenities for todays guests. Large bedroom has a queen bed. Full bath with tub/shower combination.

Nice large yard with firepit & picnic area overlooking a gorgeous farm setting surrounded by the mountains. The covered porch is the perfect place to take in the beauty of the area.

Close to downtown Bryson City while still being in a private setting with easy access. Perfect for a couples getaway.

  The Mitchell Cabin is in a quiet location that is close to the town of Bryson City. The cabin is immaculate and has many amenities. The kitchen is well equipped. The bed is comfortable and updated inside. The HVAC unit works great.
  The view from the front porch is awesome. You can watch the baby goats in the distance (you do not smell the farm or the goats). And some evenings, there was beautiful sunset.
  We highly recommend staying at the Mitchell Cabin.

  We very much enjoyed our stay at Mitchell's Cabin. Everything was top notch, clean & convenient! Sitting on the porch with a cool summer breeze while watching the goats play across the street was a bonus. We hope to return.

  Sally M from Park Ridge, IL recommends this vacation rental

  My adult daughter and I were looking for an escape from our Midwest weather and city life. Mitchell Cabin was perfect! Off the beaten path but convenient to mountains for hiking, breweries for drinking, and a grocery store for shopping. We were able to explore the smoky mountains and took the most beautiful pictures. The cabin was well-equipped and comfortable. Perfect for two people. Would definitely recommend without hesitation!

  Cathy S from College Station, TX recommends this vacation rental

  We came from Texas to see the Autumn leaves change and boy what a perfect setting the Mitchell Cabin provided. Not only was the cabin beautifully designed and decorated, it was sparklingly clean. The view from the front porch was idyllic, a small farm, pasture and a flock of goats. We could wake up everyday to that peaceful scene. We just wish we could have stayed another day!!

  Spent two wonderful nights at the Farmhouse. This is an excellent example of how to make a cabin into a destination for the Bryson City area. Love the pine interior, the flooring and the rugs in the right places. Would certainly stay here again.

  This house was not where we originally planned on staying, but with a mix up, by me, on reservations, Dena suggested this one and man was it a great choice. It was so classic and relaxing. So much thought went into this place to make it comfortable and private. It was close enough to town to be convenient and man did we enjoy our stay!! This place begs for us to return. I have NO NEGATIVE THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THIS PLACE!! We will be returning.

  Jody V from Lebanon, TN recommends this vacation rental

  My wife and I were doing a last minute search for a mountain location (TN or NC), quiet area, convenient to restaurants and attractions, yet rural setting. This place checked all of those boxes. It exceeded all expectations. Perfect size for a couple, but with the available flexibility to add 2-3 others with the loft accommodations. We loved it and would like to return again!

  a guest from Raleigh, NC recommends this vacation rental

  I really enjoyed my stay at the Mitchell Cabin. The location is fantastic for exploring Bryson City and the Great Smoky Mountains. The cabin was easy to find and is across the road from the owners goat farm. There is a grocery store about 10 minutes away. I came to hike and found several amazing trails of various difficulty, all within a 30 minute drive.
  The cabin is very clean, has wifi and modern appliances, is historical and decorated nicely. You can tell how much love went into the renovation of this family cabin. The bed was very comfortable and the shower had plenty of pressure and hot water. Although there was a nice fire pit out back, I didn't get to use it because of rain. My only complaint is that the wood burning fireplace has been replaced with a gas fireplace. Although there were no instructions on how to start it, I called Yellow Rose and the owners came over and showed me immediately. I enjoyed getting to meet them and get some more history on the cabin. Great customer service. The big downside is that the new gas fireplace heats up the house so much in such a short amount of time, that you almost can't even use it. I would have preferred the original wood burning fireplace, but understand why the owners would want to change it. Overall this was a fantastic stay and I highly recommend staying here!

  It feels so far away but so close to everything. The decor is adorable and very very clean. The only complaint I have was the bed is very hard. We could not figure out how to turn the volume down on the tv. Appeared a controller was missing. We will stay again.
