A great getaway

This property was great! It was so homey, and the master suite is excellent. I wasn't sure how to set up the hot tub, but Tom and Faye had excellent instructions and texted back right away when I had a question. My daughter and I stayed her for a weekend getaway, and it was lovely. The driveway is steep and narrow, so I definitely recommend arriving during the day for your first visit. A great cozy cabin!

Super comfy

This secluded cabin is very well appointed and in a great location. It's near enough to Robinsville for groceries and a short trip to many of the areas of interest. The owners were great with communicating what was open to the area since my trip was shortly after Hurricane Helene. I can understand trepidation about the driveway, but three lowered cars navigated it with little trouble. An aggressive front lip might not fare as well. In all, it was an enjoyable stay

Cabin for Miata’s at the Gap

Lovely cabin with full and well equipped kitchen. I stayed here for Miatas at the Gap wand was able to drive my lowered Miata to the cabin. If you have a lowered vehicle, make sure you arrive in the day light so you can navigate around obstacles that may have fallen on the road to the cabin.

Excellent mountain retreat

We stay at this cabin, a half dozen times, each time better than the last. Always clean, and while the driveway is steep, it is easily navigable, even in a lowered Mini Cooper. Chances are pretty good we will be back! Oh, and did I mention hot tub?

Great Spot

Property was clean, spacious, and came with full kitchen. Huge downstairs bedroom. Steep driveway! Close to Bryson City and Cherokee shopping. Plenty of hiking and waterfalls nearby. No signal but Starlink provided. Would suggest installing a dead bolt on door to make guests feel more secure. Lastly, the email I recieved did not have pin for key lockbox. I contacted owner through phone number and he provided the pin.

Pleasant cabin, good location

2 couples enjoyed a week in this cabin. We found the location to be convenient - within 45 minutes of Fontana Dam, Bryson City, Joyce Kilmer Forest, etc. (remember it’s mountain driving). Cabin itself is isolated, and quiet. Owners provide clear instructions about what they do and don’t provide - take note! We appreciated the firewood and bird seed, little touches that made things pleasant.

Secluded and private

Well equipped, super private, clean, comfortable. Good for a family or just a couple. Hotop works great. Master bedroom have everything you need for a peaceful morning including coffee maker, mini fridge and a microwave. The house have everything you need to get away from the hustle and bustle. Driveway is pretty steep but doable, we hauled a motorcycle trailer and it was ok.

Wonderful Cabin, Wonderful People!

We booked this cabin for our fall vacation to the smokies... all of the communication was perfect, and when there was an issue with the electricity on site the owners were extremely accommodating and proactive in making our stay there the best it could possibly be! All amenities available were exactly as described, and the cabin was super clean. Certainly one of the absolute best cabins (and renters) in the smokies!!!!

Great Place to Stay!

Private location. Nice cabin interior style. Will return! The hill IS steep, even for experienced riders (I'm guessing parts are greater that 10 deg slope). The more you ride it the easier it gets. There is parking at the bottom if it's too much for you. (Note; UPS truck driver brought his truck all the way up to the door for a delivery)

Pleasant xabin

The cabin was isolated and clean, very pleasant stay. The only concern is the driveway is a little steep in a couple spots, we were in a Camaro and made it up but it was a little tiny scary, but again we made it up several times so just be prepared. The owner does recommend showing up the first time before dark because of this, and I thank them for that.The view was pleasant, plenty of room. The hot tub was different, I had never been in one like that before. Not bad, just different. Overall good property.

About the host

Hosted by Tom & Faye Dyer

Host profile image
We love this area and this cabin is our favorite place in the whole world. It is our home away from home and we care very deeply about it! We want you to enjoy it as much as we do, so please be kind to our property when you stay here! We live in Alabama and it takes us 5 hours to get to this cabin from home. We ride motorcycles to the property. The drive up to the cabin is steep and our parking areas are packed gravel and the turnaround space cannot accommodate trailers greater than 10 ft.

Why they chose this property

Easy access, (but NO trailers longer than 10 ft.) endless year round recreational activities, great value. In 2002 Forbe's magazine described the area as one of the best vacation values in the US . In 2016 TripAdvisor touted the area among the best little mountain retreats in the US.

What makes this property unique

Private, Quiet, Complete, Essential Services are Nearby. Unlimited outdoor recreational opportunities. The property and the subdivision cannot accommodate long trailers.
