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.
We had an incredible stay here! Clean, beautiful with views we couldn’t stop taking pictures of! Our kids loved the minicade and shuffle table! Communication was great! We will be back!
The house
Definitely would stay here again.
Very spacious house with all the amenities. This was a perfect stay for a romantic, relaxing couples getaway
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.
It has the best view it was so cool waking up to the clouds above the houses below and the hot tub was amazing and it was overall just a very nice calm and cozies place and we had such a great time and we will definitely be coming back!!
We were really impressed with the placed and loved the screened in porch, where we spent most of our time. It is a drive up the mountain but worth it. Would stay there again!
We had a fantastic time! The house was clean and the views breathtaking. The host was very responsive to any question we asked. We would definitively come here again. Thank you!!!
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
This was our second time renting this property and once again it was worth every penny! The views are indescribable, the host is amazing and the house is so perfect and comfortable- you are going to love your stay! This is the mountain getaway you’ve been dreaming of! The hot tub faces the sunset and there is so much to do in Morganton!
Very nice location. I stayed while doing business in the area. House was very clean and all amenities were included.
Only complaint is hot tub does not work great.
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
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 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.
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.
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!
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!!
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!
