This property will be decorated for Christmas in mid to late November. No current pictures as the house was just built.

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. Ashtrays are provided outside on the porch. If the home smells of smoke, you may lose part or all of your damage deposit for additional cleaning & odor removal.

*****This property is located off US 74 in a curve. You will hear road noise while outside. While it is not obtrusive it is noticeable, but we think the convenient location makes up for this.

*****This is a DOG friendly property, however we ask that you bring a kennel for your pet if you plan on leaving him/her alone at the house. We do charge a $45 non refundable fee for bringing your pet. If you are bringing your pet YOU MUST select the pet option at checkout. If you do not it will be taken from your damage deposit. DOGS ONLY

Wonderful Short Stay With Great Access

Clean cute property with plenty of room for 2! Well appointed for longer stays. We stayed two nights for a local wedding and really appreciated the match of seclusion with close proximity to the quaint town of Dillsboro which has several restaurants, drinkeries and shops. Glad to have had a taste of this part of the world and we will be back!

Very nice cabin

We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. Chuck and Sandy communicated with us very effectively and answered all of our questions and ensured we had a pleasant stay. My favorite part was enjoying breakfast on the porch with my wife each morning. Very relaxing stay for both of us.

Cute cabin

This cabin was so cute and had everything you needed to enjoy your stay. Loved that we could bring our dog to enjoy our vacation with us. The area had lots of fun things to do and lots of great restaurants. Our favorite was The Diner in Waynesville on Main St.

Hot cocoa

Nice, clean,well appointed. Drive in reported as steep, but we had no problem. Nicely located between Maggie Valley and Cherokee. A little too close to busy highway and train noise for me But we enjoyed our stay. Gates at ends of porch would be nice to keep our beagles contained.

New and Clean Cabin with a Great View

Loved the cabin! The place was so clean and private, everything you need was provided, the view was great, and the host was incredibly responsive. I would definitely stay here again. As noted in previous reviews, it is remote and 4 wheel drive is definitely needed, but that is what it private and made me like it even more!
