Get away from it all at this glorious private mountain estate known as Big Billy Cabin! This historic and updated Joe Webb log cabin is set on 24 wooded acres, with over 1,300 feet bordering Big Creek and Pinky Falls.

This magnificent antique home was built by the famous log cabin builder, Joe Webb, between 1929-1931.

IMPORTANT FOR PARENTS - This is a great place for kids. However, the property is not child-proofed and may not be suitable for very young children. Parents will need to provide their own supplies for kids and safety equipment that they feel is necessary. We do however provide a pack n play, high chair, and safety gates at the top of the stairs. DRIVEWAY- Big Billy Cabin is located off a main road up a hard-packed gravel driveway approximately 1/3 mile long. There is a short, steeper portion of the driveway, but is still accessible for cars without front or all wheel drive. The driveway is well maintained and there has never been a problem with cars getting to the house. In inclement weather however the driveway may become rutted and bouncy in spots. Please let us know if this is the case, and we will send someone to grade it out. Located in Highlands, this cabin is in a rural area and on a river. The area's natural beauty can be seen at Highlands Biological Station and Nantahala National Forest, while The Bascom Center for the Visual Arts and Highlands Playhouse are cultural highlights. Traveling with kids? Consider Cashiers Farmers Market and Ruby City Gems & Minerals. Enjoy the area's slopes with snowboarding and skiing, and don't miss out on the sledding and ice skating.
