About this property

Quiet Mountaintop Vista w/ Hot tub and Fire pit

Come escape to this newly-renovated 2/2, minutes from Morganton, Lake James, several breweries and wineries, a wedding venue and all the hiking and other outdoor activities in the state park the property backs up against.
The house boasts every modern comfort you would need to work or play if you don’t want to unplug, but this house was meant to be enjoyed outdoors. The hot tub, screened porch, and fire-pit offer the perfect setting to enjoy the tranquility this house provides.

We have stayed in a few places in Morganton over the last two years and this place by far has the best view. It’s pretty stunning. The cabin is nice and we loved the screened in deck. The road up is quite the adventure if you’re not used to driving on steep mountain roads, and there are 3-4 true hairpin turns, but this shouldn’t discourage you from staying here. We loved it and will be back again. Best tip I can give is the refrigerator doesn’t have an ice maker so bring ice.

Lovely place. Beautiful views. Spacious and comfortable. Water issue was resolved quickly. There were a couple men hanging around the next door cabin both days we were there, which didn’t align with the quiet, private getaway I thought I was booking. Also, I was excited to star gaze with the telescope shown in multiple pictures but it was no where to be found. Overall, nice place, good trip.

Would stay here again

Our stay at the house was perfect for our family of five. The three bedrooms allowed everyone to have their space, the hot tub was relaxing after a day of adventure, the fire pit was a good spot for conversation and the views at sunset were breath taking. I would highly recommend this location.

Great stay

Property was just as listed, beautiful views. We had trouble with the online information "book" but managed without it. Very secluded, a little concerning with all the private property signs on the way in but neighbors seemed nice enough

A Magical place to reconnect with Nature.

Our experience staying at Quiet Mountaintop was above and beyond any expectations. Since the minute after I booked this house, I could feel our holidays were going to be fantastic. The property manager made sure I had all the information I needed to guarantee a unique experience. The House, it facilities, the fire pit, the views.. all made of this stay one of the best holidays I had with my family. I know that we are going to be back! 100% recommended for families

From Wisconsin

Overall our stay was good, beautiful home as described. Due to fog the travel up the mountain was hard to see late at night. Wish we could have enjoyed the view a little more, but mother nature was not cooperating. Property manager was very responsive and quick to address an issue and massages we had upon arriving. Definitely wish we had a couple more days to truly enjoy the beauty the property offered.

Breathtaking view

We had an absolutely amazing experience during our stay at this rental. The breathtaking view of the mountains and the captivating sunset left us in awe every single minute. We took full advantage of the beautiful surroundings by having our breakfast, lunch, and dinner outdoors, immersing ourselves in the stunning scenery. The jacuzzi was a fantastic bonus that added another layer of relaxation to our stay. Without a doubt, we cannot wait to return to this extraordinary rental in the future.

Overall, Beautiful Vacation

Everything was as listed and nearly perfect. However, I was unable to turn the main kitchen light on, which could be user error as it was remote controlled. I was also unable to fully flush one of the toilets, and lastly I was unable to get in contact with the host to get the WIFI password, so I had to use cellular data the whole stay.

Rest and Relaxation

My girlfriend and I loved this cottage and the view was amazing! We spent 99% of the time on the back porch. Enjoyed the clear days and watching the rain roll through the valley. There is some other cottages around, but you won’t even notice they are there. The owner did a great job with modernizing the cottage, but keeping a mountain cottage feel. Morganton has many parks with great trails, waterfalls and views. Visit Lake James…beautiful lake with kayaking available. We hope to return next year! Owner was very responsive for any questions. We were looking for a romantic and fun getaway…mission accomplished!

Heavenly views of the mountains!!

The view from the back deck is absolutely breathtaking, especially from the hot tub at sunset!!! I recommend grabbing all your groceries before heading up the mountain to the rental- it’s roughly a 15 minute drive on paved switchbacks to get up there, so not conducive to “running to the store real quick” for any forgotten items! :-) We ran into an unfortunate issue that forced us to leave a day earlier than planned, but the host was more than gracious and fair and worked with us to ensure we were happy with the experience despite the setback. Enjoy the peaceful retreat!!

High above the clouds

The house is adorable, clean and the view takes the cake. My family had a blast. The hot tub and fire pit are perfectly placed for max view of the valley, and of course the Smokey mountains and lake James. The only thing I wished I would have know was that there was no drip coffee maker. Had I had known I would have brought my little French press. There was 4 K- Cups and a small machine, but had I known there were only 4 I could have prepared to add them to my shopping list before hand. Coffee on the porch was something I was very much looking forward to. Otherwise this place is perfect!

Great View but No Water / Service Issues

The view was amazing. We didn't have any water the final night of our stay and the next morning until around 9AM. Rather than allow us the time to finish our damp laundry, and take showers the next morning, we felt extremely rushed to get out of the house. They seemed more interested in making money for the next customer rather than making the current customer happy. Apparently, water issues are a repetive problem with this property. I would not stay again.
