About Rising Ridge Cabin

Rising Ridge Cabin sits in a quiet valley in Whittier, NC — paved road all the way up, packed gravel driveway, easy to find, and easier to love. It’s one of those properties that genuinely works for everyone: families with kids who need a yard, couples who want a hot tub and a gas fireplace, groups who want a game room and an open porch for evening meals. The cabin delivers on all counts without overcomplicating anything.

The floor plan is comfortable and intuitive. The main-floor queen bedroom has its own personality — warmly decorated in a classic cabin style. Upstairs in the loft, the master suite has a second queen bed, a private bath, and a loft sitting area that functions as its own small retreat. The great room has a gas fireplace and opens onto a covered porch with a gas grill and deck furniture. Downstairs, a basement game room with a ping pong table and TV gives the group a second gathering space when the porch gets too hot or the weather turns.

Outside, the open yard has horseshoes and tether ball for the kids — or the competitive adults. The hot tub is under the stars. And the location is one of the most genuinely convenient in the portfolio: Cherokee is just minutes away, Bryson City and the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad are less than fifteen minutes, and Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg are a scenic drive through the National Park. As one guest noted, you can pop into Tennessee for Dollywood in half a day and be back in the hot tub by evening.

What Our Guests Are Saying

Stephanie  ·  July 2026

“The cabin was absolutely fantastic. The pictures matched perfectly, the description fit to a T. The added bonus of the free daily activity was spectacular. The location was very sweet — we had our own privacy but so conveniently located to any and everything! We were even just a short half-day drive from Dollyworld (sic) — we popped into Tennessee one day. All in all, I would have to give this place a 10/10 honestly. We loved it here and would strongly recommend it to the next!”
