Swan Cabin is a primitive 1931 log cabin in remote Nantahala National Forest near Joyce Kilmer-Slickrock Wilderness, sleeping up to 10 people and available April 15–October 31 for $25/night.

The cabin has no electricity or running water, requires four-wheel-drive during muddy/snowy conditions on gravel Forest Service roads, and sits near excellent hiking trails including a 5-minute walk to a waterfall and access to Stratton Bald Trail.

Nearby Santeetlah Lake (2. 5 miles via Avey Branch boat ramp) offers boating and fishing opportunities, making this a base camp for backcountry recreation in the old-growth forest wilderness.
