Property Description
Escape the chaos of everyday life and immerse yourself in the serene sounds of nature at this immaculate mountain cabin perched above Big Creek, with a mesmerizing waterfall as your daily backdrop. 4.5 miles from the vibrant town of Highlands, North Carolina, this property offers the rare blend of total seclusion along with convenient access to five-star dining, world-class shopping, art galleries, and rich cultural experiences.
Crafted with timeless authenticity, the cabin features true chink log walls, an open-concept great room anchored by a stone fireplace, and a gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, a gas range, and Thermador appliances designed to inspire any home chef. The main-level primary suite ensures comfort and privacy, while two guest bedrooms and a cozy loft sitting area upstairs provide ample space for family and friends.
The expansive covered porch is truly an outdoor living room—complete with a grand wood-burning stone fireplace, hot tub, dining area, bar, and a cozy lounge space perfect for quiet mornings or unforgettable evenings. Just steps away, a viewing terrace places you right at the edge of the waterfall, where the sights and sounds of Big Creek will soothe your soul.
Bordering hundreds of acres of National Forest, “The Cabin on Walkingstick” offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful retreat immersed in nature, yet only minutes from one of the Southeast's most celebrated mountain towns.
