Welcome to Watershed Cabin 1
Nestled in a peaceful mountain setting, Watershed Cabin 1 is the perfect retreat for couples—or anyone seeking a private getaway filled with comfort, style, and a touch of luxury. Surrounded by nature and thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and adventure, this charming cabin invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and savor every moment. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the deck, playing pool in the loft, or curling up by the fire, every detail has been carefully curated to make your stay unforgettable.

Cabin Layout & Features
Kitchen
The fully equipped kitchen blends mountain charm with modern convenience. Granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances—including a dishwasher, microwave, and coffee maker—make meal prep effortless. From cookware and utensils to dishes and glassware, everything you need is at your fingertips. Just outside, a gas BBQ grill with a full propane tank is ready for alfresco dining beneath the stars.

Great Room
The expansive great room is the heart of the cabin, where rustic elegance meets modern comfort. Enjoy meals around the striking round pounded-copper dining table (seating six) or relax on the plush nubuck leather sofa by the floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Rich hardwood floors and warm log walls create a cozy mountain ambiance. For entertainment, take advantage of satellite TV, a stereo system with Bose speakers, and a CD/DVD player—or simply let the sounds of the forest drift through the French doors that open onto your covered deck.

Attention: Active Wildlife in the Area
Our area of WNC is currently experiencing increased wildlife activity, particularly from bears. While it’s a privilege to share our environment with these magnificent creatures, it’s essential that we all take precautions to ensure our safety and theirs.
Please follow these guidelines:
Secure all food and garbage: Bears are attracted to strong smells. Do not leave food in your car and reattach bungee cords to trash can lids every time.
Be aware of your surroundings: Stay alert, especially during dawn and dusk when wildlife is most active.
Avoid close encounters: If you see a bear or other wildlife, maintain a safe distance and do not approach.
Travel in groups: When possible, hike or explore with others, and make noise to alert animals of your presence. Keep dogs leashed at all times.
Your cooperation is crucial in maintaining a safe and harmonious environment for everyone. Thank you for your attention and care.
