PLEASE READ!!!
Before you pack up and head to the mountains, know that when we say mountains, we really mean it!
Dillsboro NC elevation starts at 1,975 feet. Think of this as your starting point. If you want to get a beautiful mountain view, you gotta climb some mountains. Mountain roads are typically gravel, steeper, narrower and curvier than you may be use to driving. This is all part of our charm.
We do have one big hill to get up. It is gravel. We regularly drive a Hyundai Sonata up. While AWD vehicles make everything easier they are not required. Maintain an even speed (10mph) going up and you should have no issues.

*******No refunds will be given due to weather.*****

Items NOT provided: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, bar soap, items of a personal nature. We do supply hand soap, dish soap, and starter laundry items.


Please note this is a SMOKE FREE property. Ashtray is provided outside on the porch. If the home smells of smoke, you may lose all or part of your damage deposit for additional cleaning and odor removal.

This is a DOG FRIENDLY property, however we ask that you bring a kennel for your pet if you plan to leave him/her alone at the house. We do charge a $45.00 non refundable fee for bringing your pet. If you are bringing your pet YOU MUST select the pet option. If you do not, you will receive an invoice for the pet fee. DOGS ONLY

Cozy Cabin

We loved our stay here with friends. The cabin was very clean and beautiful and had everything we needed. It was close to casino in Cherokee and the Train ride in Bryson. Loved the fire pit and twinkle lights along with the rocking chairs on the porch. Beautiful place.

Quiet and relaxing, great location

We attended open house at Western Carolina, and the cabin was the perfect location for visiting the school. After a short drive ( 15 minutes) to campus and a long day of walking and touring, we really appreciated the hot tub! A well-stocked kitchen and gas grill made cooking each evening a breeze, especially with a beautiful view of the mountains and a great fire as we cooked. Didn't have too much time for local exploring outside of the college tour, but really enjoyed walking through downtown Sylva and finding everything we needed for meals at Ingles. Beautiful drive home through Cherokee. Looking forward to returning!

Nice quiet little piece of Heaven!

The cabin is perfect for a small family, couples retreat! The views are amazing. The fog rolling in over the mountains was cool. We were literally in the clouds. Perfect valentines getaway. Was just a short drive to the Casino and downtown Cherokee. Thanks for Hosting us, we will be back if youll have us. Would/will highly recommend this rental to friends and family.

Mountain Heaven

The cabin was awesome, just as appeared on VRBO, beautifully decorated, all the things you need at your fingertips, loved the fire pit, the hot tub. Things that were needed was a better road to get up to cabin and more grass for my dog to be comfortable with, I was scared he was going to go straight down the mountain the wrong way, over all it was wonderful!

Perfect place for two couples

We had an issue with entry and the AC but the host was very responsive. It is the perfect place for two couples with a bedroom and bath on each side and living area in the middle. It is a little difficult to find and accurate directions are only available on Google Maps, NOT Waze! Very well stocked and equipped home.

OUTSTANDING STAY!

We're seasoned at VRBO type & have travelled across the US extensively, using rentals & have never encountered the level of cleanliness, responsiveness and accuracy that we did with Horseshoe Bend. The location was hands down the most centrally located (directly off of 74) and ease of access. While you do need 4WD & feel comfortable/have experience w/driving on a gravel drive with a considerable grade, compared to other rentals(grossly misrepresented, 30 minutes or more from a main road, not maintained at all), this, by comparison is a super highway. W/i minutes we were on the main highway and within 15 minutes of grocery shopping, 20 minutes of getting on the BRP or getting to Lake Fontana (be aware this is incredibly difficult to find & have views, which this place did.) We stayed here for 3 months and while there wasn't plethora of storage, & it's best for shorter stays, the owners went out of their way to accommodate any request or respond to an issue, which were few and far between. The cabin was fresh and clean, with a fully equipped kitchen and all the updates. Clearly the housekeeping staff did an excellent job both in turnover & maintenance as it always looked like we were the first to rent it. The attention to detail exceeded our expectations & past experiences. Despite their being other cabins, you can't really hear or see anyone so the peace and tranquility that's sought when the mountains call remains alive and well here.
