Come for the views, stay for the comforts and conveniences. That sums up Seneca, a one-bedroom log cabin amid the grandeur of the Great Smoky Mountains. Photos don’t do justice to the sweeping vistas visible from Seneca’s wraparound deck and, thanks to the huge windows, even from inside the cabin. Bring your morning coffee outside, get comfy in one of the deck chairs, and watch snow-white clouds drift over the mountaintops as wrens and warblers greet the day. Then at night, luxuriate in the deck’s hot tub beneath the stars, the cool breeze an ideal complement to the steamy jets of water massaging you after a day of hiking, rafting or skiing. From the living area’s amply cushioned sofa and armchair, you can revel in the sunset over the mountains while basking in the warmth of the wood-burning stove. If you can tear your gaze from the scenery, settle back and watch a movie on the 40-inch flat-screen TV with cable and Blu-ray player, surf the web via the free Wi-Fi, or simply open a bottle of wine and enjoy each other’s company. How often do you get a chance to really relax back at home? Seneca’s kitchen is fully equipped for all your culinary efforts, whether they entail crafting a gourmet dinner for two or reheating leftovers from the previous night’s restaurant meal. Appliances, pots and pans, gadgets and tableware, you’ll find them all right here. That includes a dishwasher because scrubbing plates is nobody’s idea of a fun vacation activity. If you reel in some trout from one of the nearby streams, you can cook it on the outdoor charcoal grill for a true Smoky Mountain feast. After dinner, head upstairs for a game of pool in the loft. If you have friends staying in any of the nearby cabins—Bearway to Heaven, Dreamweaver, Majestic View and/or Naughty by Nature can be packaged together with Seneca—invite them over. There’s plenty of room for everyone to kick back and chat between shots. Seneca’s bedroom on the main level is just as charming as you’d
