The cottage is so close to everything Dillsboro offers. We walked to dinner both nights that we were there. The cottage provided all that was needed for a comfortable stay. We appreciated the cleanliness of the place. Would definitely return when in the area.
This little gem of a cottage is the perfect place for a weekend getaway, esp for a couple or a family with two kids! The master has a king sized bed, with a moderately good mattress and then there are two other bedrooms with just enough space for smaller people to sleep in the twin beds. Dog friendly, it was so easy to just let the dogs romp safely in the small enclosure off the front porch first thing in the morning. We met Betsy, the owner, there at the cottage and she was helpful and gracious. Just a lovely experience.
Very clean and perfect for our stay. We especially enjoyed the covered front porch, the comfortable beds, and that we could bring our fur baby.

Angela,
I am happy to know that you enjoyed your stay at Miraflor Guest House and it met your needs. Great to know that the beds were comfortable and that you enjoyed the porch.
The Host went above and beyond to make the house comfortable. All of the extra little details were our best VRBO experience so far. The house was cozy and warm. The convenience of being able to walk down to Dillsboro for dining, shopping, and the Christmas festival was priceless. We were traveling with our fur-baby and all of the pet friendly features were exactly as described. We will definitely look forward to our next stay at Miraflor!
We love this house so much! This was our second visit. We enjoy staying here because of the location… close enough to walk to anything in Dillsboro but far enough off the road for peace and quiet. We loved the fresh cut flowers in every room and a perfect spot for us to come visit with our adult children in Cullowhee. Thank you for being such wonderful hosts.

Anna,
I am happy to know that you enjoyed your stay. The flowers are fresh from my garden and I enjoy making the floral arrangements and placing them in the house, when they are in season.
Thanks for being a great guest and for taking good care of the house. I hope that you will choose Miraflor Guest House again, next time you are in the area.

Loved the little home, it was perfect for the weekend and close to Gatlinburg to go do some things. We would most definitely come back.

This was a perfect place to stay and explore all the great roads around the area. Close to food shopping, restaurant, brewery and very quiet at night which makes it a perfect place to unwind after a hard day riding. Will definitely recommend in the future! Cheers!

Thanks for leaving the guest house in good condition. I will be happy to host you and your companions next time you choose to explore the area.
It was great! You could make a 7 course meal in the kitchen even though small. It had everything. The only drawback was no TV.

Hello Shelly,
I am happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay at MIraflor Guest House and that the kitchen worked out well for you. Although I do not list a TV as an Amenity, I have had several requests lately, to offer one, so I am planning on purchasing one for the Guest House during the Black Friday Sales. I hope that you choose to stay at Miraflor Guest house again, the next time you are in the area.
The property was very clean and the owner was very nice.
The was no television. Which we did not expect.

Hello Pamela,
I am happy to know that you found me to be friendly and the house to be clean as I aim to please all of my guests. You are right we do not offer a TV at this time, although due to many recent inquiries about TV's. I am looking into getting one soon.
The Dillsboro Drop is the first set of really cool white water rapids on the nearby Tuckaseegee River and our new nickname for the Miraflor Guest House. We found it clean as a pin and fresh flowers in the house as well as the porch where humming birds visited during morning coffee. The house sits elevated just above the main road giving very easy access to downtown area shops, restaurants and The Great Smokey Mount Railway depot. Being that close to everything your going to have a little traffic noise but a fair trade for the convenience. The shared driveway has ample parking but requires a little extra maneuvering for our full size truck. Internet was excellent but be aware there is not a TV in the house at this time and we didn't miss it a bit. There was also plenty of games and reading material. Betsy was very quick to reply to any questions we had before and during our stay. When we make it back to the are this will be our "Dillsboro Drop"!

Hello Hal, I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that you even made it down the "Dillsboro Drop". My late husband and I used to operate an Outfitting Service on the Tuckaseege River, so I share your admiration for the river. I am also happy to hear that the hummingbirds come to the handing flower pots as that was my intention. We look forward to hosting you again at Miraflot Guest House aka
Dillsboro Drop"
Excellent location and fenced yard was great for the dogs!
