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. Ashtray is provided outside on the porch. If the home smells of smoke, you may lose all or part of your damage deposit for additional cleaning and odor removal.

This is a DOG FRIENDLY property, however we ask that you bring a kennel for your pet if you plan to leave him/her alone at the house. We do charge a $45.00 non refundable fee for bringing your pet. If you are bringing your pet YOU MUST select the pet option. If you do not, you will receive an invoice for the pet fee. DOGS ONLY

Great Memories!

My family and I had a great time staying at the cabin. We were so excited for our trip before Christmas and the cabin decorations were the cherry on top. What stood out to us was how clean, private, and comfortable the property was - exactly as advertised!

Perfect place for two couples

We had an issue with entry and the AC but the host was very responsive. It is the perfect place for two couples with a bedroom and bath on each side and living area in the middle. It is a little difficult to find and accurate directions are only available on Google Maps, NOT Waze! Very well stocked and equipped home.

Great for couples!

We came up for the weekend for my husbands 40th birthday and had such a wonderful time. The host even left balloons out for his birthday when we arrived which was a nice surprise. The cabin was very clean and organized and the fire pit was great for a chilly evening. It’s close enough to dillsboro for shopping and food (best bbq I’ve ever had there) and close to the casino if you’re looking to give away some money like we did. We will defiantly be back for another weekend trip!

Lovely stay in the mountains

This is a beautiful house with lovely views. My sister and I stayed for a long weekend. Very convenient to Bryson City, Dillsboro and Sylva. Well equipped. Comfy beds. The driveway is steep but doable. We are both under 5 feet tall and over 50 and the tall beds and high cabinets were a little challenging. We had a great time.
