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

Vacation getaway

The property and house are beautiful. The views from the porch are amazing. We had everything we needed at the house and Chuck and Sandy were very quick and responsive to any questions we had prior to our stay, and during. Nice to know they have other places close by also, if you have a larger group and still want privacy. Those places are just as nice! We had the best time!

Wonderful stay at a beautiful cabin!!

We were in town for a gymnastics meet hosted at the Cherokee casino and chose this cabin for our extended weekend stay. The drive to Cherokee and other surrounding towns from the cabin was a breeze. We drove a smaller car and had no issues getting up the driveway. The cabin itself was clean, spacious and overall great! The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking utensils, the beds were comfortable and there was plenty of seating on the large living room couch. My kids enjoyed the large selection of DVD’s and found it a fun challenge to only watch DVD’s and not use any streaming services (although the TV’s were fully equipped with all streaming services)The views from the back porch are just incredible!! Watching the sun rise over the top of the mountain from the hot tub was one of the highlights of my weekend. We can’t wait to book this cabin again for our next family mountain vacation!

Amazing stay!

We absolutely loved our stay here! It was perfect for getting away and relaxing. Everything was clean and new and well decorated. The couch and bed were incredibly comfortable! The hot tub and firepit were key components in our relaxing long weekend. We were able to tuck away and reconnect with each other outside of our usually very busy lives. We rarely went out and just enjoyed the space and each other's company. It will forever be one of favorite trips and the memories it holds are so dear to us. I highly recommend for a getaway trip. The highway noise was a bit loud, but it was constant and made almost a "white noise" effect, so it wasn't a bother. The views you get from the front porch/fire pit area with the cabins position on the mountain compensate for it completely.

We stayed two nights to attend the polar express train ride with our 5yr old. The cabin is in close proximity to several nice towns to visit. I would stay here again should we return to the area. Everything in the cabin was clean and decorated nicely.

Thanksgiving Trip

This was our 2nd stay at SunnySide Up Cabin we had another amazing experience. The mountain views are incredible. The cabin is located close to everything yet you still have that secluded feel. We happened to arrive early and the most generous hosts allowed us to check in. The cabin has everything you need to enjoy your stay. The Christmas decorations were beautiful.

25th Anniversary for 2 couples

Our 25th Anniversary trip was awesome! We almost cancelled due to the hurricane that tore up the western part of NC but after talking to the owners and calling several places that we were going to visit, we decided to go ahead with our plans. The casino was open, the Smokey Mountain Railroad was running (awesome views) and Cherokee had a parade! Great place to stay, awesome owners, wonderful views and good times with my peeps! We hope to visit again! Thank you

Daughters Wedding

My wife and I traveled in on Wednesday, September 25 in pouring rain for our daughters wedding that Saturday at The Parker Mill, And although the drive is straight up a hill and a little challenging, The house was beautiful & as advertised. From the 26th on ,most of you know what happened to Western Carolina, Losing Internet and phone service or something this generation is not used to ,however this house had power the entire time. It made sitting in the hot tub at night and the pouring rain a little more enjoyable. Nothing hurricane Helene gave us could take away from this house and its Beauty . we had to leave a day early, just to make sure we can get out, but would love to come back here when the weather is beautiful. Sidenote, my daughter did get married and the wedding went on just with half the Guest not able to make it
