The Owl’s Perch was a beautiful and cozy place to stay—secluded near Robbinsville and the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest. We loved listening to the nearby creek and the soothing sounds of the forest. It’s the perfect peaceful rest stop for hikers exploring nearby trails! The owners provided everything we needed and even welcomed us with helpful information about local sights and hikes.
In one day, we visited:
• Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest
• Huckleberry Bald
• Hooper Bald
• Bald River Falls
• Baby Falls
• Lake Santeetlah
Thanks to their thoughtfully prepared info sheet, placed right on our bed! We’ll definitely be back!

Everything was wonderful! Accurate description, completely met our expectations, and was truly an awesome little get away. We would recommend staying here (the 5 inch clearance thing is the real deal though) and would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful place and a wonderful host. I highly recommend! Very serene and peaceful, with only the sound of the creek flowing over the rocks. Way off the beaten path, a real mountain retreat.

Very fun! The Owls Perch space is efficient and compact but also lovely. Very stylish with lots of owls! The creekside location is amazing—loved sleeping to creek noises. The drive there is quite an adventure—the road keeps getting smaller and rougher, but still drivable. You don’t need 4 wheel drive, but the 5” clearance is definitely advised.
The real perk, though, is Alice and Doug’s knowledge of the local attractions. So many good ideas of things to do in the area. I had originally planned to just hang out in the cabin for a day (which would have been relaxing and fun), but I was totally tempted by a suggested loop drive through local attractions.
I am definitely planning a return visit. So much to do in the area. And this is my ideal for a secluded yet (more than) comfortable getaway.

Adorable little cabin offered everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I loved the sound and view of the water from the deck.

Everything was perfect and you can't meet a nicer person than Alice. The description was accurate and the directions to the cabin were great. A great place to go if you want to get away from everything.

This property is a hidden gem! It was so peaceful to be in the woods with the creek running below. The balcony & deck were wonderful to enjoy our surroundings.

A quiet, peaceful stay in the beautiful Nantahala Mountains. If you want quiet and remoteness this is the place to be surrounded by forests with a mountain stream below the deck. The hosts are gracious and accommodating. My wife and I had a wonderful stay and look forward to our next trip.

Excellent get away, very relaxing atmosphere with running stream right by the cabin. Very clean and the hosts were very helpful and friendly. The gravel road to it is a bit rough but if you go slowly not to bad, and the cabin is well worth the drive. We enjoyed our time there very much.

We went to the Owls Perch for our anniversary trip. We will definitely be going back! It is the best place to unwind and unplug from the world. We enjoyed the ride into town each morning, the mountain views are amazing! Alice was the sweetest host! Everything was perfect!

Beautiful little cabin in the woods on the edge of a creek/river. Amazing views and the sounds of the water rushing were magnificent. Only 2 things could have made our stay better, the ability to stay longer, and better pillows.
