About this property

Amazing Mountain View’s, hot tub, pool table, and near Great Smoky MTN Nat Park

Valley View is pocketed right between Bryson City and Sylva in Western North Carolina. At 3200 feet you can see miles of layering Mountain Views.

At Valley View you really have access to it all. There are lots of options for dining, shopping, breweries, hiking, kayaking, biking and sight seeing.

Alas, if you just want to sit back, relax, unplug, take some time off, soak in the hot tub, sit around the fire pit and make s’mores, and breath in deeply the fresh mountain air, we’ve got you covered.

Our cabin is quiet, secluded and will be the perfect respite for you and your family. We have a game room loft with a pool table, a fire pit to circle around at night, rocking chairs to chill in and take in the view on the front deck, an authentic Bier Garten picnic table for outdoor dining on the side deck and a hot tub on the lower level with a view to soak away and release your daily tensions.

We also have DVDs and a DVD player for movie time as well as board games and puzzles for family bonding.

Our cabin is specifically designed to be a place of relaxation. A place to get away from it all. To unplug and spend quality time bonding with friends and family. A place to move at a slower, more quiet pace. Therefore, we purposely do not have internet at the cabin. There is cell service available* if you need to look something up or get directions online. (*depending on your carrier, AT&T and Verizon has good service here)

NOTICE: Please be advised that this amazing view means you have to travel a good ways up a mountain road to get there. Our road is at times steep and narrow and is only paved 1/3 of the way. It is not meant for vehicles with trailers nor should you come here on your motorcycle. 4 wheel drive is recommended. Please know that the ride up may be a challenge for drivers not experienced with mountain driving on a gravel road. The drive is worth it, but if you are not comfortable with the thought of steep, narrow, dirt roads then perhaps a cabin at lower elevation would be more suitable for your needs and expectations.

GPS is fairly reliable and can get you close but we’ve posted many Valley View signs and give specific directions to get you to our little private piece of heaven. Trust us the View and our quiet cozy cabin is worth it!

Firewood for the fire pit is not provided, but can be purchased at Lowe's in Sylva or several locations in Bryson City. Most gas stations in this area sell firewood.

We are located in a subdivision called Indian Trails. It is situated inside Cherokee lands. When driving up our road you will see a sign that says Private Property Indian Trails subdivision. Continue to proceed and follow the signs to Valley View.

Would not Change a Thing

We were looking for a family getaway to reconnect. This did exactly that. The cabin itself is set up well. The hot tub and deck had beautiful views. The beds were very comfortable. The cabin is close enough to civilization that sight seeing and hiking did not require long periods in a vehicle. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Quiet Retreat

"Valley View" is accurate - the view from the deck of the cabin is gorgeous. It is the perfect spot to sip coffee in the mornings or wine in the evenings while taking in the view and listening to the peaceful nature sounds. Andy was a perfect host - answering all questions we had promptly. The cabin was extremely clean and had everything we needed for our stay.

Beautiful property!

I absolutely loved staying there, there were a few things that got missed in the cleaning before the stay but nothing major. Plenty of privacy and beautiful views. They have everything you need from laundry supplies to kitchen utensils and dishes. They even had milk and juice in the refrigerator. I hope to be able to stay again soon.

Family Vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Valley View. It was a great place to just unwind from the hustle and bustle of life and just enjoy some family time and an incredible view! The cabin is very warm and inviting.The beds were very comfortable. We really enjoyed the gas fireplace on the chilly mornings and evenings. The location was close to great hiking trails. The hot tub was a welcomed way to relax after a full day of hiking. The only thing I would warn others about would be the drive up to the cabin would be difficult in a two wheel drive pick up truck due to being so light on the back end and spinning in the gravel. Most cars or suvs should be fine if they are all wheel drive. Overall we really enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful Valley View

Third year in a row. We’ve loved every trip. Central to area towns we enjoy visiting such as Bryson City, Sylva, Dillsboro, Franklin, to name a few. The house itself is perfect for us. We love the high ceilings with second floor pool room. The view is spectacular and the main reason we keep coming back.

This place was perfect! So relaxing which is what we were going for. Time stood still and is was so peaceful. The sunrise I. The mornings was fantastic. Definitely want an AWD vehicle. But we had no problems in our Subaru Crosstrek. Highly recommend!

Amazing Views

My husband and I spent 4 wonderful nights at this wonderful cabin. The views were amazing and we loved how secluded it was. Unfortunately we had a power outage that threw a kink in our dinner one night but the owner was very responsive and actually gave us a refund to cover our dinner. If you are looking for secluded and relaxing this is the place to stay. No internet or cable gave us the time to enjoy each other’s company. It’s a short drive to Bryson City or Cherokee where there are many things to do and see. I would definitely stay again. Thanks for everything Andy!

What an amazing trip and cabin; Andy went above and beyond when it come to anything and everything about our stay. The views were spectacular, the cabin had everything we needed and MORE, and we cannot wait to stay next year. This cabin is perfect for a small or large family as well as the fur babies. Once again, thank you to Andy for letting us use your cabin and get away from the stresses of life for 5 days!

A true Gem & Fall paradise

Description and directions are extremely accurate, our trusty Subaru made the trip just fine! The drive up is windy but so worth it for the amazing and astounding views. We witnessed some of the best sunrises we have ever seen there! Close to many great adventures, Deep Creek Trail, the Smokey mt railroad, the Great Smokey Mountains National Park, and more. We even made the trip to the Biltmore in Asheville and back. Everything was clean as can be, directions and accommodations were all above our expectations. Wonderful place to stay and unplug and take in all the area has to offer! Thanks to the owner for sharing their spot with us and hope to return again someday in the future

Dangerous drive!

Glad we arrived during daylight or we probably wouldn’t have made it up the mountain. Cancelled our stay after one night due to having to travel up and down multiple times for wedding festivities. Would not recommend this location unless you are staying put. Less than clean accommodations.

AMAZING!!

This place was everything I hoped it would be. It was exactly as described and pictured on vrbo. The cabin was beautiful and well maintained and the wrap around deck offered breathtaking views of the mountains (wine at night, coffee in the morning). Very easy to communicate with the host who always had more than prompt replies. I will absolutely book this place for future travels in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Andy Vantreese

Host profile image
We are Andy and Denise. We are from Chicago and fell in love with the beautiful scenery and outdoor life in Western North Carolina. We are avid travelers, golfers, mountain bikers and hikers. We found this place to be conveniently located to all the outdoor activities we love.

Why they chose this property

With Valley View we found the perfect balance. Valley View combines rustic, secluded, log cabin charm, and an amazing view of the mountains, with a location that is convenient to all the Great Smoky Mountains area has to offer.

What makes this property unique

The view, the hot tub, the pool table. It's a perfect place to get away from it all, unplug and unwind. It is close to any mountain adventure you want to have: Kayaking, white water rafting, Mountain biking, hiking, horseback riding, fly fishing, waterfalls, train rides, cycling, antiquing, breweries, golfing, casinos, wildlife viewing, charming mountain towns, ziplines, tubing, flea markets, good food, farmers markets, history, and more.
The best part we find is just how relaxing it is to sit on the porch and look at the amazing view either from the rocking chairs or in the hot tub. It is a great place to have quality time with friends and family.
