What A View 145

Whoa… that view! New in 2022. This listing has stunning views all the way to Clingman’s Dome!

What a View Lodge is an amenity-stocked three-bedroom, three-bathroom lodge perched at 3700+ feet overlooking the Alarka Creek Valley and all the way to Clingman’s Dome in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The mesmerizing view will surround you and your family when staying at What a View Lodge. This charming lodge offers an exceptional floor plan and terrific amenities that will make for an unforgettable vacation. We’re confident that your time with us will exceed your expectations in every way!

What a View Lodge has 2600+ sq. ft. of indoor living space on three levels and sleeps up to six. The lodge features two decks, a large screened in porch with a dining area, a camp-style charcoal grill, and a flat gravel parking area large enough for three vehicles. What a View Lodge sits on a large 3+ acre wooded lot in a gated community where privacy is an understatement.

Entry Level: The main level features a kitchen with all the small appliances, pots and pans and serving pieces to cook a great meal, and a dining area, a large living room with cathedral ceilings and over-sized sliding glass doors, a washer/dryer combo, and a huge master bedroom and bath. In the living room there is a 43- inch HD/Smart TV, a gas log fireplace, and access to both the upper deck and the screen porch. The master bedroom features a king-sized bed and another 43-inch HD/Smart TV.

Lower Level: On the lower lever there are two bedrooms (one queen and one with two twin beds), one full bath, and a large den. The den has a large reclining sofa and double recliner love seat where you may curl up under one of our comfortable blankets and relax while you enjoy the 65-inch HD/Smart TV, watch a movie on the DVD player (large collection of movies provided), read a book, or enjoy the view from the lower deck.

Loft/Upper Level: Upstairs is a large, carpeted loft and the third bathroom.

Nearby Attractions: From What a View Lodge it is an easy drive to downtown Bryson City (10 miles) where you’ll find locally owned shops, hometown restaurants and breweries, and the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad with diesel and steam engine excursions into the Nantahala Gorge, up the Tuckasegee River, and – of course – the Polar Express! Not far away are the Deep Creek Recreation Area (14 miles) with hiking, biking, fishing, horseback riding, and tubing; the Appalachian Trail and Nantahala Outdoor Center (17 miles); Harrah’s Cherokee Casino (22 miles); Tsali Recreation Area with mountain biking, hiking, camping, and boating (22 miles); the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Blue Ridge Parkway (26 miles); and the towns of Dillsboro (24 miles) and Sylva (26 miles).
Wildlife, wildflowers, butterflies, and an Elk herd can all be found nearby on any given day. Want to try white-water rafting, tubing, or fly fishing? The Tuckasegee River is one of the most popular floating and fishing rivers in the southeast. How about golfing, zip-lining, gem mining, swimming, or Harrah’s Casino? They are all minutes away.

The 6.5-mile drive from Hwy. 74 to What a View Lodge winds along Alarka Creek until you head up the mountain. From there it gets steep, but is asphalt-paved and well maintained. We will provide you with detailed directions upon confirmation of your reservation. We’ll also help you keep a watch on any winter weather. The weather at 3700+ feet above sea level is not the same as you’ll get in Bryson City.

You must be 25 years of age to book this lodge.

Yellow Rose Real Estate and Cabin Rentals
Before you pack up the car and head for the mountains, know that when we say mountains, we really mean it!
Downtown Bryson City has an elevation of 1,752 feet, so think of this as a starting point. The majority of our cabins will have a higher elevation than this. This means that our roads- both state and private- will be steeper, narrower, and curvier than you may be used to driving. Also, you should expect to encounter gravel roads. Consider it part of our rural mountain charm!
Here at Yellow Rose, your safety is our priority. If a cabin requires 4-wheel, front-wheel, or all-wheel drive to access it, it will be listed in the description. If bringing or riding motorcycles, please call and ask for motorcycle friendly properties. If you have any concerns about accessing your rental, please call prior to your arrival and we will be happy to discuss it with you.
Yellow Rose Realty has top rated customer service and has been Locally Owned and Operated Since 1995. We are a company that gives back to the local community, and we offer our guests 24/7 Emergency Assistance. View our list of adventure partners to get Special Discounts on Popular Attractions!
