The Cullisia: Historic 2BR Gem with Modern Amenities

Welcome to The Cullisia, a restored 2-bedroom, 2-bath log cabin tucked beside a mountain creek in the Alarka community near Bryson City, NC. Originally built in 1892 as a mission and doctor’s office, this cabin was hand-hewn from American Chestnut by local craftsmen. In 2012, it was moved log by log and rebuilt with reclaimed materials and handcrafted details. Inside, enjoy a full kitchen, cozy living space, modern amenities, and Wi-Fi. Outside, relax on the covered porch by the creek. Just minutes from hiking, fishing, the Smokies, and downtown Bryson City, The Cullisia blends heritage and comfort.

We brought our granddaughters up for a white water rafting trip. The cabin was within 15 minutes of our trip down the river which was great. The girls are 13 and 18 and where very exited to stay in a cabin with so much rich history. They, alone with my husband and myself were extremely pleased with the cabin. It was perfect for the 4 of us. The girls worked on a puzzle from the day we arrived until the morning we checked out and didn't even pick up their phones while working the puzzle. This was a fantastic family experience.
