The cabin has beautiful wood and tile floors, a large wrap around deck and covered porch, a hot tub, fire pit, a kitchen, tiled shower, and washer/dryer. This cabin is pet friendly and offers comfort and style. With 500 sf of space and an open concept u have everything u need tucked away in this TINY HOUSE. Small in size it is large in upgrades and amenities. The kitchen offers granite counter tops, a full size refrigerator, small stove, and microwave. There is a washer/dryer stack for convenience. The bathroom has a lovely tiled shower with custom pebble floor and a stone vessel sink with granite counter. There is a comfy King bed with gorgeous custom made wood headboard and matching end tables. There is also a queen size sleeper sofa in the living room and two twin beds in the "Sky Loft". There is a cozy eating space at the kitchen bar and an outside dining table and benches on the large covered porch. The back deck has a hot tub and the back yard has a fire pit and view of the forest. The cabin has a 50 inch wide screen TV, DVD player, internet, and phone. Hummingbird Haven is the perfect honeymoon destination, a haven to unplug and recharge, and a great rafting and biking getaway (just minutes to Tsali and the NOC) There is ample parking that is suitable for all vehicles and motorcycles. After a fun day of outdoor recreation, have a soothing soak in the hot tub or gather around the firepit. The fully equipped kitchen and gas grill make it easy to enjoy yummy home-cooked meals while on vacation. You’ll also have easy access to everything the Great Smoky Mountain region has to offer, including opportunities for hiking, biking, horseback riding, boating, fishing, white-water rafting, shopping, dining, sightseeing and more. The Nantahala National Forest, Lake Fontana, the Fontana Dam, The Cherokee Shops and Casino and the Great Smokey Mountain Railway are some of the many favorite things to do that are a close to the cabin. Hummingbird Haven is the perfect place to find peace and adventure and make lasting memories.

Tiny but fancy

We had a great time. Although it is a small place, we never felt cramped or crowded. The place had everything you'd need. We loved all the hiking nearby, shopping and eating in Bryson City, and relaxing in the hot tub. Can't wait to return!

Beautiful week in North Carolina

We had real nice relaxing week. Property was as described, no issues, clean, very peaceful. Weather was beautiful all week, hot tub at night with a full moon was priceless. We did the train ride, saw elk, fontana dam, walked trails in Smokies. Saw waterfalls and made the 2hr drive to Chimney Rock State Park....that was amazing park. Overall great place to stay and wonderful late September vacation. Thank you

Cute cabin

The cabin was nice. Everything we needed was basically there. Cooking stuff, paper products, even dish soap. No issues accessing cabin except 1st night. We arrived after sunset and the cabin was a smidge difficult to find. I’d suggest jotting down door code before coming off main road. The internet was scarce of course when we arrived. The only major issue for us was the bed. It isn’t comfortable at all, someone else may find the bed fine but I prefer a thicker mattress. I think the living room Would benefit with another sofa or oversized chair. There really wasn’t anywhere to stretch out at night except for the bed. Overall our stay was great. If the mattress was switched out and more seating options added I would definitely rent this cabin again.

Fishing trip

My husband and I like coming to the area to do some fishing. We loved this little cabin and the beautiful surroundings. We had beautiful weather and all the spring flowers and spring blooms were on the trees. The view from the front porch looked over a yard with purple and pink blooms on the trees, and a pretty gravel road with a small creek running beside it. The back yard was surrounded by woods with a lot of privacy. We enjoyed the fire pit and the hot tub in the evenings, so incredibly relaxing. We also enjoyed grilling several of the fish we had caught on the grill. The inside was decorated very cute, it was clean, and had everything we needed. We definitely will be back to this little cove!

Christmas Vacation

We spent our Christmas holiday at this cozy space. We enjoys snuggling up in the king bed for family movies and the kitchen has enough to cook all of our meals. The outside is very private with a covered space to enjoy. The location is perfect. Right off the interstate so easy to get to alot of areas for exploring but tucked away for enough privacy. We visited the polar express, tube world, Bryson city, and Cataloochee valley for elk watching. 10/10 would recommend this stay. Looking forward to returning to explore more of the surrounding areas.

Perfect location and setting!

This tiny home is perfectly located and was so clean and cozy. We stayed here to mountain bike at Tsali for a few days and the location was absolutely perfect for this. Only about 10 minutes from the trailhead. We also went to the Tapoco Lodge for lunch one day, Bryson City to shop and dine and then to the Nantahala Outdoor center for another dinner. This location felt centrally located to all of this and made it easy to get around. 100% would recommend if you and your partner or a friend are looking to get away for a few days!

Great location

We’ve stayed here before and knew what to expect. It’s a cute small cabin in the woods and it’s close to the Almond marina which was great. Nice that it has a grill and for a small kitchen it really has everything you need. We saw a spider the size of my hand when packing up to leave which honestly is fine given the fact it’s a cabin in the woods. The mattress is also not comfortable which I can get past given the price of the rental. What I had a hard time w is the cleanliness of the hot tub. It looked a little murky but smelled strongly of chlorine so we figured it was fine. We both ended up w a horrible rash from the bacteria in the tub. I actually got one last time we stayed but didn’t equate it to the hot tub. They need to drain and decontaminate the hot tub so it doesn’t happen to another guest. Chlorine doesn’t kill everything and given the number of guests and frequent use of the tub it’s important they’re treating and cleaning it appropriately.

Beautiful and quiet

The property was exactly as listed. High end finishes, super comfy bed, and quiet area. There is a house in the front of the property but it didn't diminish the secluded feeling. It's super close to the Tail of the Dragon and we also enjoyed a day hike in the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest. The hot tub was wonderful and we enjoyed it a lot, especially with all the lights and bubbles off so we could enjoy the stars. Perfect for adults and children. It was small, which I liked, but with enough space for the adults and children to enjoy time apart. Also, Shelby was amazing and very easy to reach for questions and a last-minute change to the number of guests. She was a great hostess. Will definitely be back.

First Vacation Getaway w/o the Kids

First vacation without the kids in 22 years. We loved the house and the location. It was so quiet and peaceful sitting on the deck listening to nature for the two of us. The tiny house had everything we needed for our 5 night stay. We enjoyed cooking on the grill and late night dips in the hot tub with a nice glass of wine. We went on day trips driving on the parkway in the Smoky Mountains, Mount Mitchell, Bryson City, local shopping and boating. We will be back in the future. Thanks for the memories!!!
