PLEASE READ!

Before you pack up and head to the mountains, know that when we say mountains, we really mean it!
Dillsboro NC elevation starts at 1,975 feet. Think of this as your starting point. If you want to get a beautiful mountain view, you gotta climb some mountains. Mountain roads are typically gravel, steeper, narrower and curvier than you may be use to driving. This is all part of our charm.
We do have one big hill to get up. It is gravel. We regularly drive a Hyundai Sonata up. While AWD vehicles make everything easier they are not required. Maintain an even speed (10mph) going up and you should have no issues.

*******No refunds will be given due to weather.*****

Items NOT provided: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, bar soap, items of a personal nature. We do supply hand soap, dish soap, and starter laundry items.

Please note this is a SMOKE FREE property. Ashtrays are provided outside on the porch. If the home smells of smoke, you may lose part or all of your damage deposit for additional cleaning & odor removal.

*****This property is located off US 74 in a curve. You will hear road noise while outside. While it is not obtrusive it is noticeable, but we think the convenient location makes up for this.

*****This is a DOG friendly property, however we ask that you bring a kennel for your pet if you plan on leaving him/her alone at the house. We do charge a $45 non refundable fee for bringing your pet. If you are bringing your pet YOU MUST select the pet option at checkout. If you do not it will be taken from your damage deposit. DOGS ONLY

Nice, clean,well appointed. Drive in reported as steep, but we had no problem. Nicely located between Maggie Valley and Cherokee. A little too close to busy highway and train noise for me But we enjoyed our stay. Gates at ends of porch would be nice to keep our beagles contained.

Great Anniversary Getaway
Husband and I went up to the cabin for our anniversary. I have to say the pictures do not do justice for this cozy cabin. It is absolutely adorable. The fire pit area with the boat was a pleasant surprise. The views were breathtaking. The inside of the cabin was decorated so cute. It has everything you need for cooking a meal or sitting our by the fire with wine, or on the porch with coffee. It had plenty of towels, games to play or you could watch TV and look out at the mountains. If you are looking for a get away for a special occasion or to unwind this is a great place.

Wonderful Short Stay With Great Access
Clean cute property with plenty of room for 2! Well appointed for longer stays. We stayed two nights for a local wedding and really appreciated the match of seclusion with close proximity to the quaint town of Dillsboro which has several restaurants, drinkeries and shops. Glad to have had a taste of this part of the world and we will be back!

Very nice cabin
We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. Chuck and Sandy communicated with us very effectively and answered all of our questions and ensured we had a pleasant stay. My favorite part was enjoying breakfast on the porch with my wife each morning. Very relaxing stay for both of us.

Overall experience
The property itself was absolutely amazing. Couldn't have asked for anything more. Only thing was the road up to it. Was very rough going up not so bad going down. Would it make me not visit again probably not. Like I said the cabin itself was more than a rough road to think of not coming again.

New and Clean Cabin with a Great View
Loved the cabin! The place was so clean and private, everything you need was provided, the view was great, and the host was incredibly responsive. I would definitely stay here again. As noted in previous reviews, it is remote and 4 wheel drive is definitely needed, but that is what it private and made me like it even more!

Moving weekend for our daughter attending Western Carolina University
Cozy cabin that has everything you need. Enjoyed fires each night by the fire pit, with the twinkle lights and "fountain" in the boat pond setting the ambiance. Gravel road up to the cabin is steep, but maintain constant slow speed and you'll be okay. One suggestion would be to install a shower curtain liner. Will stay again when our travels take us to the area in the future.

So good the first time, we came back a second
This is the perfect place for a couple wanting to get away for a weekend. We've done it twice now, in back-to-back years, and plan to keep going as often as time allots. The house is very accessible and is a breeze to get to relative to other mountain homes. Just stay on the throttle and you'll trudge right up the mountain, no issues. Google Maps essentially leads you right to it, but signage all the way up the mountain is very clear. There's never any complaints about the cleanliness or hospitality that the hosts provide. They make sure everything is in tip-top condition before arrival. Communication is very clear, access is easy; you can tell they care and put a lot of time into this. For having an neighboring house, it feels so private. Our favorite part during our stays has been chilling on the fully-covered patio, taking in the view of the mountain range in the background. There's a fire pit and grill that we have enjoyed a time or two as well. Plenty of things to do within a 15min radius either way you go. We typically hit the casino in the evening, but during the day, we jump over to Sylva to enjoy good food and brewery's. Haywood Smokehouse is a must-try for BBQ. Lucy in the Rye is a nice spot for a brunch. Innovation Brewing is a cool vibe with a pizza spot attached to it. Looking forward to our next trip out. Thanks so much!
