Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!' Situated on a private, 64-acre mountainous parcel on the outskirts of Whittier, NC, Gap Creek Cabin was built by Jim & Terry Altman - and family - in 1971. The cabin continues to be owned and cared-for by the family. Located in an area known as Deep Gap, and bordered on two sides by spring-fed, mountain creeks, the area inspired the cabin name. Accommodating up to 6 adults, a recently renovated kitchen, bathroom with a shower, large front porch with a bench-swing, and an outside deck for grilling, relaxing, and enjoying the creek adds to the mountain-living experience. There is also an outdoor shower (with hot & cold running water), a separate, outside 1/2 bath, and a laundry room. A large fire-pit invites fun evenings spent under the stars and the property’s 64 acres offer hiking adventures and plenty of privacy. Guests are encouraged to bring hiking boots, a compass and camera - and to remember that the mountains are habitats for area wildlife. Although off the beaten path - along a private, gravel road - Gap Creek Cabin is only a 10-minute drive down the mountain to the beautiful Smoky Mountain Country Club, Whittier, NC, and reservations for tee-times are welcomed. The cabin is also within a 20- minute drive to the entrance of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the breathtaking Blue Ridge Parkway and the culture, arts and crafts of Cherokee.
